When Lilly met Max, she thought that she had met the perfect man. He was saying and doing all the right things and swept her right off her feet. Things were going well until he broke into her house one night, bleeding heavily and on the verge of death. Without having any experience driving cats, she had to drive him to his hideout house where she had had to nurse him back to health. This was when she discovered the kind of man she was with, Max was the most feared gangster in the city. Lilly had always heard about him but never thought he was this close true to her. She felt a mixture of fear and betrayal when she found this out. She resolved to leave him once he got better, but he resolved to win her back. However, Lilly gathered up the strength and walked away from him, not knowing that the worst was still to come.

“This is the big secret that you beloved king was keeping from you. His “son” is no man at all.” James declared. The royal Court was packed with not only pack members but also alphas of every pack that was in our kingdom. I had been tricked into attending this meeting by the wolf I trusted the most and a wolf that I considered as my father. My very own uncle had connived with and helped my father choose a mate that would ultimately be my downfall. Sophia, the one my father had allowed before he died had worked with my uncle James to expose who I truly was. They had both made sure that no one would ever listen to what I had to say. No o e was on my side, they all wanted me dead. “if she is a woman prove it…” one of the alphas said and the rest burst out laughing. “j can prove it” James said looking at me in the eye and the ripping my clothes off. I was completely humiliated as I tried to cover myself up with my hands. I dropped to my knees and let out a loud cry. I raised my head and looked at James who looked at me with so much resentment. I don’t think I had ever been hated by anyone this much. “she us a woman, and I have a question for you alphas…will you be led by a mere woman? She is not just any woman but a woman who was willing to live her life deceiving the entire kingdom’he said “no” the crowd echoed “What punishment should be given to her?” he asked “I am the Ionly one fit to take over thus throne and you all agree…am I right?” he asked me and it seemed they all did. Evened if some didn’t agree they wouldn’t dare speak up fearing that they would suffer the same fate as me. “I say we throw her off the cliff” James said “You…..” I started speaking as they quieted down “you may do as you wish…but I promise you that you will pay” I shouted. “how will I pay for anythjng? Why would I pay for anythung when you and your father are the ones who brought thjs on us” James said. “She must die!” someone from the crowd shouted but I couldn’t see who it was. I wanted to see all their faces and memorize them. I didn’t k ow how I was going to get out of this vut I was going to find a way out, I knew that this wasn’t the end of the road for me. I was going to fight for justice for myself and my mother. If anyone should have been punished for this it should have been my gather. He was the one who planned this and now I was suffering because of him I was led out of the royal court by guards and all the elders of the pack. They were gojng to parade me in the kingdom to further disgrace me. Aby respect that I had left from my subjects was going to be destroyed by me walking around in my bra and panties. Maybe this was a good things, maybe I could finally live my life the way I wajted to but then again, what life did I have left? What if I didnr make it? Th gear of dying at their hands paralyzed me and I almost stopped walking but I was pushed forward by the guards behind. W.

“What the hell is wrong with you, Laila?” he demanded as he stormed towards me “I refuse to live my life like this anymore, Father. You keep throwing me from one man to the other, and I have had enough” I shouted, and he slapped “You think you have a choice in this?” he asked me ”You think this is about what you want? This has nothing to do with what you want, you owe me this Laila” he said, and I had never heard my father talk like this. “I owe you?” I asked him, and he nodded “It is your fault that all this is happening to me, you are the one who killed your mother” he accused, and as soon as he mentioned my mother, my tears started streaming down my face “But you never tell me anything about her when I ask. If you felt that I was responsible for her death, you should have told me this a long time ago,” I said “If you had never been born, she would have never died,” he said “If you had never slept with her she would have never died” I spat, and he slapped me once more and I heard a ringing in my ear. “How dare you speak to me like that….you abomination,” he said bitterly “Father…” I whispered “you don’t even have the right to call me that. Why can’t you just do what you are told for once?” he asked me ”all you had to do was marry the man and give him as many children as he wants, but you are too useless to do that too, aren’t you?” he shouted “I already told you that I am tired of this life. You can pay your debts yourself from now on” I said, and he grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the house. Was he about to make me sleep outside again all because he had a point to prove? “Since you won’t let me make money and pay off the debt you will have to go and explain yourself to the man that I owe,” he said as he opened his car and threw me inside. .

I never thought that having two mates at the same time was possible, I never thought the moon goddess would ever make mistakes. When my turn to find my mate came, I never thought I would be mated to the infamous alpha Donovan. He was every woman’s dream and every man’s nightmare, when he walked in a room women would marvel at the power he possessed and the man would shriek in fear and shrink in size. What woman wouldn’t want a man like that. I wasn’t the lowest of omegas but I wasn't in the high ranks either if he had not met me that night he wouldn’t even know that I existed. Or maybe not, he would have known about me one way or the other but I guess the outcome would have always been the same…he would have rejected me and I would have probably ended up in the position that I was in right now. It was funny how my admiration for this man had turned into pure fear for him and then pure resentment and all n a short space of time. Now I had a decision to make, a decision that would have been simple had Donovan not forced me to come back here and work hard to winning my love back again. They were now two and I could only have one.

“Why did you do it?” I asked my sister who was lying lifelessly on the ground “R…” she guggled up blood as she tried to say my name and just like that my only sister was dead right in my arms. What had Logan done to her? Ever since she came back from his mansion after he rejected her she was never the same and I just knew that he had done something to her. Why had he rejected her in such a cruel way? He knew what his rejection would do to my family and yet he just rejected her like she was nothing, he cared about no one but himself. I didn’t even want to imagine the horror of what she had gone through while she was living in his mansion, was she being mistreated because she came from a family of nobodies in the village? The fact that she died in my arms woke up a hunger in me, and that hunger was for revenge. Logan was going to regret the day he ever rejected my sister and by the time I was done with him, he was going to pray to the moon goddess to end his miserable life on earth….

“Jasper, if you don’t do it I will” she said with fire in her eyes. “I am sorry, but I can’t do it this time. I can’t kill her she is my mate for crying out loud” I said. “And she is our mother, we always choose our mother over strangers and she is a stranger” she said pointing at my mate who was lying motionless on the ground. She had already ingested the poison and half the job was done. “But we already finished our mating ritual, this will damage me. If she dies now I could also die” I tried negotiating but Ruth shook her head. “I won’t let you die and we are wasting time right now. If you wait for her to wake up she will be in more pain than you want her to be in. Just do it and get it over and done with because I know you don’t want me to do this my way” she said and that sounded more like a threat than anything else to me. It didn’t matter what she said, there was just no way that I could do this…

ELENA’S POV “Please father, please, I am begging you don’t do this to me”, I begged my father as he threw my clothes in a small bag. “I promise that I will be good”, I begged, as if I was being thrown out for my bad behavior when I was really a good child. I always followed my parents' rules and accepted everything that they decided for me, but this was one thing that I simply refused to accept. “Elena, you have to do this. You have to do this for your family. Don’t be selfish, think of your little sister. Would you rather she did this for you?” he asked, pointing at my twelve-year-old little sister, and I shook my head. I would never want her to suffer the same fate as mine. However, that didn't mean that I thought what was happening to me was fair. That didn't mean that I thought I deserved to be sold off to a man older than me. “ Then accept this, everyone in this family has a responsibility and this is yours” he declared, and he packed the few items that were remaining in my closet. "your mother and I have been making sacrifices for you ever since you were born, it's your turn now," he said and I couldn't believe that my own father was selling me off as payment for the fact that he raised me, he might not have put it like that but that was exactly how it sounded to me. “I will work to pay him off please father”, I begged once more as he threw my clothes out of the room. Was he really kicking me out of his house? This wasn't the way that I had imagined it would be for me when I finally left my home. It felt like my own father was kicking me out of this house instead of sending me to a man who was supposed to be my mate. “ Come on Elena, you have always known that one day you will come of age and you will have to move into your mate’s house,” my mother said in her calming voice, but there was nothing calming about this situation. I couldn't believe they were trying to brainwash me into believing that that man was my mate. “He is not my mate” I exclaimed.

#Dream Writing Marathon--Love Story Contest In the nineteen years that I had lived, I had never seen a victim of witchcraft myself, I had only heard horrifying storied but I never thought I would love to experience one myself. I was standing with m back pressed on the wall as I watched my friend get engulfed by flames. I didn’t understand it, and I was too stunned to scream or react. She was lying on the bed, but the bed wasn’t on fire and yet she was. I knew no one would believe me if I told them this but this was the most horrifying thing I had ever seen. I started screaming as the flame died down and what was once my friend turned into a pile of ashes shaped like her body. I called for the doctor but it was as if I was suddenly alone in the pack clinic because no one came to my rescue. Suddenly, the ashes hardened and formed what looked like a shell. I stared at the sight before me in confusion and curiosity, the shell started cracking and out of that shell first came fingers, and then Lana's entire body emerged from the ashes that had turned into a hard shell and I screamed once more. This time I could hear footsteps running toward Lana's room and as soon as the doctor walked into the room, Lana opened her eyes and took what seemed to be her first breath ever.

#dreame Writing Marathon-- Love Story Contest “Good evening Handsome,” I said as I slipped off my silk gown and Adrian looked annoyed, Of course, he wouldn't want me tonight because he was just fucking Natasha a few hours ago. ”Victoria, do I need to change the locks to this room, or are you going to teach yourself some self-control and stay away from me like I keep asking you to?” he asked me and I laughed lightly ”Are you sure you want me to stay away from you, I know Natasha hasn’t been giving it to you?” I said moving closer to him and caressing his cock with the tips of my fingers and he didn’t even flinch. It almost looked and felt like I was losing my power over him. ”What happens in my relationship is really none of your business, “ he said “I actually have something for you” he added and then handed me the same envelope that I had given to him “Did you finally come to your senses and sign the company over to me?” I asked him as I fumbled with the envelope to open it and I didn’t like the way Adrian was looking at me as I opened it. He had a smirk on his face as if he couldn’t wait to see the look on my face as I opened the papers “What is this?”I asked him suspiciously and I looked down at the papers that were in my hand “You are divorcing me?” I asked him and he nodded with a huge smile of satisfaction on his face oblivious to the fact that he had just triggered a war that he certainly wasn’t going to win and shattered my heart at the same time. I knew the divorce was coming but for some reason now that it was happening I just felt like I had been ambushed. “I told you I would find a way out,” he said proudly “I will destroy you Adrian and I will make sure you walk away with nothing” I sad “Just sign the papers Victoria,” he said and I looked at him wondering what I should do at this moment, one thing I knew for a fact was that I didn’t want to sign these divorce papers because I wasn’t ready to let go of Adrian just yet. ”Do you need the inspiration to sign them?” he asked me as he turned around and walked back to his closet he came back carrying a gun. "Don’t be silly Adrian, both of us now you are not going to shoot…” before I could even finish my sentence he had already fired a shot that missed my ear by an inch and hit the flower pot that was behind me. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” I asked him “I am done playing games with you Victoria and I don’t want to kill you but don’t push me because if you do I will,” he said “Even if I kill you now, I won't lose anything because it no longer belongs to us,” he said “Adrian…” “Just sign the damn papers Victoria or I swear I will kill you,” he said and I took the pen and signed the papers. It just felt like I was signing “Thank you,” he said as he snatched the papers from me and for the first time I felt my eyes watering and I was crying for real this time ”Adrian…” I whispered “Oh don’t be dramatic I know you are only crying because of all the money and the assets you just lost,” he said and I wished he knew half of the story. If only he knew how he had just ripped my heart right out of my chest when all I had ever wanted was for him to love me.

“This is my final love letter to you my love, and in it I would like to leave you with my undying love. I have loved you until the death of me just as Piet thought I would, and I regret nothing about our love story, you were more than a girlfriend to me...you were my wife and my better half and I am sorry for leaving you a widow without even marrying you first...with love always Marcus” by the time the lawyer had finished reading the last part I had crumbled like a cookie and I was sobbing uncontrollably.

GIRL POWER - CHASING HER APOLLO SELENE’S POV I could see by the look I was getting from my parents that they disapproved of what I was doing with Alexis. They had refused to that I loved him and I chose to see beyond his class, they insisted that I deserved someone who was from a higher class and someone who would be able to help me carry the family name. Being the only daughter of the moon goddess had its advantages and disadvantages and this was one of the disadvantages. However, being in Alexis's arms helped me forget about all the stabbing started that I was getting not only from my parents but also from everyone else who had attended the party. Alexis wasn’t even supposed to be here but I refused to attend without him. Of course, when my parents agreed for me to have him here with me they thought that he was my friend but now they were realizing that he was more than that, and I could only imagine the amount of anger and resentment they were feeling towards that.

***I want to publish 1500 words a day*** "There is no way I would be mated to a thief," I said "let's go to the basement and find out then" he suggested and I shook my head. I was more afraid of going there because I knew there was a chance his suspicions were right and there was no way that is as going to accept that my future luna was a thief. "What are you so afraid of?" he asked knowing that I was never one to admit to being afraid of anything, I threw on my how and opened the door desperate to prove him wrong and prove to myself that it wasn't my mate in there. As I got closer and closer to the closet the scent got stronger and even more mesmerizing but I was still in denial. I touched the basement door as if I could feel her through it and I was startled by WIll as he came to a halt next to me. "You see what I mean, it is your mate in there," he said as he noticed that my eyes had changed color and my wolf was giving me away "it doesn't matter, just make sure you kill them all," I said as I began to walk away, and WIll quickly caught up with me and pulled me back. "come on Dante, we need a Luna," he said and I rolled my eyes "Not her" I shot back "How can you reject someone that you haven't even seen yet? what if she is the most beautiful woman you have ever laid your eyes on? she might not be what you think" he said "she broke into my house and I am sure they stole a few things, and you are telling me she is not what I think she is? she is a thief Will is that the kind of Luna that my pack deserves?" I demanded "No but all I am saying is go in there and see her," he said and I could see there was no way he was letting this go "Do you not remember what happened with my previous mate?" I asked him, I hated even speaking about her and I had forbidden everyone in my pack from speaking about her. "I know you have major trust issues because of Tania but this could be different and I think it's time you let that shit go," he said "Will how can I just let it go? Tania slept with and Omega and not only that she got pregnant by him" I yelled talking about Tania always got me worked up and angry. "fine," I said turning around and storming toward the basement door. I paused a little bit at the door before opening it and storming in and walking down the stairs uncertain of what I was getting myself into. the three girls had bags over their heads and were tied up but I already knew who I had come for. I walked toward her slowly and hesitated to touch her for a little while, what if WIll was right?

ELENA’S POV “But why can’t I go outside like other wolves father?” I asked my father as I watched some wolves my age running around and playing outside through my bedroom window “Because you are a princess and it’s not safe for a princess outside,” my father said “But I want to go outside I promise I will be careful father I will be safe” I begged “No Elena, you are safer in here and you can’t go outside,” my father said and then left me to continue envying the little wolves that were playing outside. “But I want to make friends” I mumbled after he banged the door. At seven years old, I had never really been outside. I had only been outside when the moon was said to be so close if you could fly you could touch it and when it was a fiery red. My father said that the day was a special day for our pack because it was the day I was born. I never understood how it could have been a special day if it was the day that my mother died. Some of the workers around the palace said her death was caused by me, they said I killed her.

“Please let me stay, I won’t be any trouble, I’ll even agree to be your maid or even a slave....if you kick me out now where will I go. I will become a rogue and I will be hunted for the rest of my life, that’s if I don’t die the moment you kick m e out” I begged the new Alpha as his bodyguards carried me and my bags out of the gate. I sobbed but my heart breaking sobs went unheard and no paid any attention to my pleas. For eighteen years now, all I had known was this castle as my home, it was my home with my parents, but my father’s Beta, was too greedy to let me rule after my parents were killed (probably by him) all because I was a female, but that wasn’t the worst of it, he kicked me out because he didn’t want me to grow up and challenge him. God forbid a female hybrid think she is worthy of the throne of the northern pack, no woman had a place to rule there. But now I was officially a rogue, with no family, no parents and no pack to have my back and protect me. Despite all this however I was still determined to make it. I was determined to forget my past; I was shunned and hated for being a hybrid. But now I was going to camouflage myself amongst the humans, they were the only beings that I could fit in with now...

“I am sorry Marcus...I can’t help it” I said and he shook his head “It’s not your fault my darling” he said as the first tear escaped his eyes “So what was the test?” I asked in curiosity and wondering if he passed “The test was whether or not I would be able to let you go if it came to that, and I failed” he said and then walked away in pain “Marcus wait...” I said weakly just as he was about to walk out of the door “Yes my love” he said “Please don’t leave me” I begged, I loved Marcus and seeing him this broken made the pain I was feeling feel like it was nothing. “Are you sure? I mean it looks like it hurts even more when I touch you or when I’m even close to you” he asked and I nodded “Just come and lie with me” I said. To make Marcus feel better I was willing to endure the pain for as long as I had to. I couldn’t let a strong man like Marcus allow the whole world see him broken like that. As he got into bed with me and wrapped his arms around my waist and held me from behind, I felt the first stab of pain but I groan so low he couldn’t hear. This felt like a funny narrative of my life, I was holding Alex’s shirt tight inside my gown and Marcus was holding on to me from behind, I was literally caught in the middle of both of them. When he rested his head right next to my neck and I could feel his every breath it was like he was taking every breath from me with every breath he took and I couldn’t breathe anymore. But for Marcus I was willing to endure this and more. He kissed the mark on my neck and all hell broke loose inside me. I was now burning from the inside out and I was sweating and shaking on the bed. “Sabina...” he called out to me and I heard him as if he was calling from a distance “Sabina” he called out again and this time I managed to open my eyes to see a blurry looking Marcus as a tear fell on my face making me blink “Sabina I can’t watch you die like this...I have to do something” he said and I blacked out.

“We love you my princess and don’t ever forget us, never take off this necklace it will always protect you” my mother whispered as they both prepared for their death, I couldn’t help tearing up. I didn’t understand anything that was happening. I tried to pull my dad by his morning gown but he simply detached himself from my grasp and told me to stay in the closet and not make a sound no matter what. A few minutes later I heard gun shots and growling. We were being attacked by another wolf. But why? My parents got along with everyone here, why would another wolf attack us in the middle of the night I though as I burst out of the closet in tears and opened the window. I carefully climbed out and as soon as my feet hit the ground I ran as fast as I could. Once hidden by the bushes I looked back only to be see a pair of red eyes that scared me i turned on my heels and ran as fast as my feet could carry me, tears clouding my eyes, I tripped on a broken branch and hurt my knee and cried for my mother but somehow I knew that i was never going to see he again. I cried even harder and stopped immediately when I saw a torchlight approaching I quickly hid myself in the thick bushes nearby. I couldn’t see him but I knew he was the murderer I covered my mouth with my hands hoping he couldn’t hear my loud breathing and luckily he seemingly gave up looking and jogged off, I quietly came out of the bushes careful not to make a sound and suddenly I heard growling behind me and I knew I had been caught”
