The Dormant Beast!

Victory2023
.I thought my life had changed because of a silly wish I made on the mountain, which people claimed could grant wishes. But the truth is far crueler , I was always meant to be a werewolf. A supernatural being, bound by fate long before I ever understood it. The man I trusted most , my father , knew everything. He hid it. Lied. Betrayed not just me, but the entire pack. Driven out of the pack for his crimes, he only sank deeper into darkness. And now, because of him, the pack stands on the edge of destruction. But the worst betrayal is still to come. Fate chose me to stop him. Chosen to fight the only family I have ever known. The man who raised me. The man I once loved without question. As if fate hadn’t punished me enough, the truth about my mother shatters the last pieces of my heart: She didn’t abandon us for a richer man like he said, she was murdered. By him. By the father I thought I knew. In the middle of all the wreckage, I meet him_ a man I loved at first sight before even knowing he was my fated mate. A man who owns my heart before I even know his name. But he's still mourning a lost love... and there's no room in his heart for someone like me. Fine! I won't beg. Not for love. Not for acceptance. I will fight for my destiny, on my terms. I will carry the weight of my father's sins if I must. Because if life has made me a weapon, then I will strike. And I will not break.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
