"Tell me, why do you have to marry me?" "Because I love you, of course." Olive spoke sweet words, but there was not a trace of affection in her cold eyes. Vincent Stone, Alpha of the Stone Wolfpack, sneered. No one in this world dared to treat him, Vincent, as prey; what audacity. Little did Vincent expect that the day after Olive's proposal was rejected him, she watched as he walked past her with his future mate, without even glancing at him. Vincent was immediately irritated: Is this how much she loves me?! ****** "Is it worth it, Olive?" Sydney's voice cracked with emotion, her heart aching for Olive. Of course, it was worth it, Olive thought. Since the moment her mother, Alana, was driven to suicide by Ivy and Finley, she no longer lived for herself. Besides, the marriage alliance between Stone Wolfpack and Davis Wolfpack was originally meant for her. She was merely reclaiming what was rightfully hers.
At the Grand Estate Hotel, in the presidential suite.
Olive Davis stared at the sleeping man in front of her, momentarily unable to comprehend the situation. Her body ached, and the red marks on her neck and chest, along with the scattered clothes and a few used condoms, made everything clear-she had done it.
Olive endured the discomfort, climbed over the man, and walked barefoot to the bathroom. After a quick rinse, she changed into her clothes and even fished out a cigarette from the man's pocket, lighting it for herself. In the haze of smoke, she silently observed the man's satisfied face.
Vincent Stone, 26 years old, was the Alpha of Stone Wolfpack, the largest conglomerate in the country. What was even more deadly was his Hollywood-star-level looks-handsome, noble, and unapproachable.
In Ironclad City and throughout Harborville United Kingdom, the name Vincent represented power and status.
A man like him-she knew the consequences of provoking him would be severe. But she couldn't stand by and watch him marry Finley Davis next month; she couldn't let Ivy Davis and Finley Davis; the mother and daughter have their way.
When she reached her third cigarette, Vincent woke up. He glanced at the brown-haired woman in a red dress shrouded in smoke and was momentarily stunned.
"How much do you want?" He got up, retrieved a checkbook and pen from his bag, and offered them to her. His body still remembered the pleasure of the night, and the bloodstains on the bed declared everything. As long as she wasn't too demanding, he could give her whatever she wanted.
During the ten minutes she waited for him to wake up, Olive had thought of a hundred ways to respond. But facing his sharp, eagle-like eyes, she simply stubbed out her cigarette in the ashtray and flashed a bright smile. "I don't want money. I want Mr. Vincent Stone to marry me."
"What?" Vincent seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and he sneered. "Do you think you're some precious jewel? You're just a high-end escort, nothing more."
Last night, he had been drunk when this woman disguised as a waiter delivered water and helped him hang up his coat. Then she had started undressing in front of him. Normally, he kept away from women, but in a moment of weakness, he lost his self-control.
He had to admit, the woman's face-a mix of purity and allure-hit his aesthetic perfectly. But her smile didn't reach her eyes, and her scheming made him disgusted. She knew who he was and had clearly taken advantage of his drunken state.
Any other woman would have been humiliated by Vincent's scornful words. But Olive remained unaffected, her smile seemingly glued to her face. She didn't feel any sorrow or humiliation because since the day her mother was driven to death by Ivy and Finley, she no longer had a heart.
She waved her phone. "I have a video of last night. Although I was quite proactive at the start, later, Mr. Vincent Stone forced me multiple times. If this gets out, it might not be good for Stone Wolfpack's stock price."
"To release the video, you'd have to be alive first," Vincent, familiar with both the legal and criminal worlds, responded coldly. He tossed aside the checkbook and took the cigarette pack from her hand to light one for himself. "Don't forget, crushing you would be as easy as crushing an ant for me."
He hated being threatened more than anything. This woman must be tired of living to dare plot against him.
"Oh, my video is already uploaded to the cloud. The account and password are shared with my best friend," Olive shrugged nonchalantly, leaning closer to Vincent. "Go ahead, Mr. Vincent Stone, kill me now. I don't mind tarnishing Stone Wolfpack's name a month before your wedding."
She knew he was getting married soon, yet she still dared to plot against him. This woman was both calculating and shameless. Vincent stared at Olive's unyielding smile and reached out to grasp her slender neck.
Her tan skin, marked with his love bites from last night, inexplicably made his breathing heavier. Olive just smiled, even as his grip tightened, not resisting at all.
Only when her face turned purple, and her smile began to falter, did Vincent release her.
"If you want money, come to Stone Wolfpack Tower at nine tomorrow on the 16th floor. If not, do whatever you want, but be prepared to face the consequences," Vincent said coldly, dressing quickly and leaving the room.
As the door slammed shut, Olive finally broke down. She slid to the floor, tears streaming down her face.
"Are you okay, Olive?" Her best friend, Sydney Ramirez, called in a video chat, her voice filled with concern at Olive's appearance.
"I'm fine. Perfect." Olive took a deep breath, holding back her tears. "Sydney, find out Vincent's next move for me."
Sydney came from a well-off family, not on Stone Wolfpack's level but still notable in Ironclad City. This hotel was one of her family's properties, which made it convenient for Olive.
"Is it worth it, Olive?" Sydney's voice cracked with emotion, her heart aching for Olive.
Of course, it was worth it, Olive thought. Since the moment her mother, Alana, was driven to suicide by Ivy and Finley, she no longer lived for herself.
Besides, the marriage alliance between Stone Wolfpack and Davis Wolfpack was originally meant for her. She was merely reclaiming what was rightfully hers.
At Stone Wolfpack Tower, 16th floor.
"Has anyone come to see me?" Vincent asked for the third time over the phone when his assistant, Brody Stevens, knocked on his office door.
"Mr. Stone, here is the information you requested."
Olive, 23, the top scorer in Ironclad Werewolf University entrance exams three years ago, went on to attend a top ten global university on a full scholarship, only to drop out and return home earlier this year.
Her current occupation is... a liquor salesperson at the Grand Estate?
Unbelievable! Vincent tossed the thick stack of papers onto his desk.
"Brody, is this your idea of a job well done?" The top scorer, a top student from a prestigious university, dropping out to sell liquor? Who would believe that?
"It is strange, but I verified her academic records," Brody quickly pointed to the relevant documents. Initially, he didn't believe it either. Who would think that the woman who tricked the Alpha had such a contradictory background?
"I see," Vincent said irritably, waving Brody out of the office.
Lighting a cigarette, Vincent couldn't get the image of Olive in the smoky haze out of his mind. Frustrated, he stubbed it out. A top university student, dropping out, and taking a lowly job? She must have experienced some misfortune. But hardships were no excuse for greed or for threatening him.
In the following days, there was no media scandal involving Stone Wolfpack. The woman seemed sensible enough. Despite her greed, she was cautious. Vincent gradually forgot about the incident.
Until he encountered Olive again at a poker game in Mystic City, he realized this woman was far from being easy to shake off.

Isabella Anderson's life was turned upside down by a single sentence from her doctor: “Miss Isabella Anderson, you are pregnant.” The shocking news left her utterly bewildered. Despite being nineteen, she had never been intimate with any man. Even more incredible was that the lab results showed she was already four months pregnant. The doctor informed her that due to her physical condition, she couldn't undergo an abortion and would have to carry the baby to term. Returning home, Isabella's father, Lucas Anderson, was furious. Rumors spread rapidly, and everyone began mocking her. Speculation arose that the Mitchell family, her fiancé’s family, would undoubtedly call off the engagement. As everyone awaited the Mitchell family’s response, her fiancé, Dylan Mitchell, unexpectedly appeared at the Anderson household. Seeing Isabella’s swollen belly and her unattractive appearance, Dylan angrily declared that although he loathed Isabella, he wouldn't call off the engagement if the baby could be given away after birth. Isabella, moving from confusion to reluctant acceptance of reality, had already developed feelings for her child after feeling its heartbeat. She firmly refused to give up the baby or allow the engagement to be called off. At that moment, her baby decided to come early, and she went into labor amid the chaos. **Five Years Later** “Mommy, wake up, the plane is taxiing!” Isabella was awakened by her daughter Amelia's voice as they returned from abroad. Over the past five years, Isabella was no longer the overweight and unattractive girl she once was. She had become slim, exuding an exceptional charm, and now stood out as a stunning beauty. She informed Amelia that their return was primarily to handle the annulment of her engagement with the Mitchell family, but her most important mission was to find her other child, who had been taken away by force. Just after stepping off the plane, Isabella received a call informing her that Asher Perez, the head of the most powerful family, was gathering information about her worldwide. Isabella had a secret identity: she was the world’s top surgeon, and Asher wanted to find her to cure his family member’s illness. However, Isabella was not concerned about this; her priority was to find her son and avoid getting entangled in the affairs of powerful families. As she left the airport, Isabella unexpectedly ran into her former fiancé, Dylan. Dylan did not recognize the slimmed-down Isabella and flirtatiously approached her. Isabella gave him a cold glance and walked away with Amelia. Upon returning to her home country, Isabella checked into a luxurious hotel owned by the Perez Group. Unexpectedly, she encountered a little boy, Charles Perez, and mistook him for her daughter. It turned out that Charles was Asher Perez's son. Seeing their interaction, Asher mistakenly believed Isabella was trying to use Charles to get close to him. Their meeting was disastrous, and at this point, Asher had no idea that the beautiful woman was the top surgeon he had been desperately searching for.

The South Continent elite circle knew that Ethan Myers, esteemed and unapproachable, had a chosen mate from North Continent whom he hadn't even met. Rumor had it that she was the Alpha of Myers Wolfpack, Ethan Myers' grandfather Brandon Myers' arranged chosen mate. North Continent and South Continent were worlds apart in development. Hence, the young elites lamented and the socialites were envious: Myers Wolfpack's Future Alpha was actually paired with a country bumpkin from North Continent? It was simply squandering a rare opportunity! Moreover, everyone knew Ethan Myers was ruthless and aloof, untouched by the allure of many beautiful female werewolves. How could he possibly accept an arranged marriage, especially with a country bumpkin chosen mate? So, everyone eagerly awaited the arrival of this North Continent chosen mate in South Continent, only to see her rejected by Ethan and sent back to North Continent in disgrace. **** No one knew that Ethan Myers, the usually aloof and pristine future Alpha of the Myers Wolfpack, had been experiencing intensely passionate dreams with a woman every night for the past year. The woman in his dreams was soft and delicate, with an indescribably pleasant fragrance. Whenever she was beneath him, she would look up at him with tearful, cat-like eyes, almost crying yet not quite, making him break his usual restraint again and again. Each night, the dream's setting and his identity would change. Sometimes he was a general, and she was his lady. Other times he was a powerful warlord, and she was his concubine. Upon waking, his inner wolf would insist that this woman was his fated mate, destined to be with him through countless lifetimes. Unfortunately, he could never clearly see her face in his dreams, only catching her surname—Miss Roberts. He swore to find the woman who disturbed his dreams, for if he didn't, both he and his wolf would go mad. However, before he could find her, a car accident left him blind and crippled, unable to shift into his wolf form, and stripped of his right to lead the wolfpack. **** Juliana Roberts had a secret. For the past year, she had been entangled with a man in her dreams every night. At first, she thought it was just a phase, something to do with her hormonal cycle, and that it would pass in a few days. But the dreams persisted, night after night, and always with the same man. Fortunately, the man was handsome, well-built, and matched her tastes perfectly in every way. Juliana didn’t mind; she even got used to it. After all, it was like having a boyfriend she could only meet in her dreams. Before Juliana' s grandfather died, he told her that she has a marriage agreement to the grandson of the Alpha of the Myers Wolfpack in South Continent. He urged her to flee to South Continent for protection; otherwise, her uncle and aunt would marry her off to a local tyrant in exchange for wealth and power. After a perilous journey, she arrived at the Myers Wolfpack, only to find that her fiancé was blind and disabled. Furthermore, he had lost his inheritance rights because he couldn't transform into his wolf. However, under her meticulous care, Ethan Myers' condition started to improve remarkably, leading them to suspect that they were not just chosen mates, but fated mates. Moreover, Ethan bore a striking resemblance to the man in her dreams, making their destined union even more enigmatic.
Everly, the adopted daughter of the Howard family, was Gavin’s little shadow.

Jacob was notoriously reckless in the circle. Everyone thought he was in it for the physical, not the emotional. Until one day, a video surfaced. In the video, Jacob, like a devout believer, held a woman's slender wrist tightly, his eyes filled with fervor and tenderness. His voice was low and husky, "Quinn, please look at me..." **** As Quinn entered, Jacob emerged from the bathroom, a loosely tied towel around his waist. Water dripped from his hair, tracing down his collarbone before disappearing into the towel, exuding a natural, lazy sensuality. Seeing Quinn, Jacob's lips curved into a slight smile, showing no embarrassment from being caught in bed by his new wife. “Why is it you?” **** Patrick handed him a glass of red wine. "Since you’re married to Quinn now, you should take good care of her. She appears strong on the outside but is quite fragile inside." Jacob accepted the wine and raised an eyebrow. "You know exactly why I married her, don’t you?"
