Audrey's seventeen years in the Grey Blood pack were like a caged animal. She lived each day dreading the next unexpected thing the Alpha could punish her for.
Audrey tried hard to understand the mysterious dream she'd been having, but nothing made sense to her, she was lost.
She wished to be freed from the Grey Blood pack, but she lost all hope of survival when she found herself locked and chained in the cold dark dungeon. She hated him, she cursed him as her blood drained from her. She was happy to die and go away from that monster-alpha. Audrey awoke in a magical world where she learned everything about herself, she cultivated herself to become the strongest wolf and witch alive. One item though, led her back to the last place she wanted to be.
Alpha Aloha Lake ruled the Grey Blood pack, the largest and strongest pack in the States. He was known to be brutal, even the mafia feared him. Nothing or anyone bothered him, except one; the damned bitch Audrey. He hated her, and he would make her pay for her mother's sins. But he could not kill her...yet.
Alpha Lake emotionlessly stared at Audrey's bleeding body that lay on the cold dungeon floor, he ordered his beta to dispose of her without a second thought.
One year later the enemies met again. Will hatred be the only emotion they share? Could they resist the fatal attraction they felt for each other?

After losing his parents and being faced with an unbelievable medical bill; Zeno Evander finds himself working as a Manny for a mysterious Billionaire, but it doesn't last long, after almost being killed by the Mafia billionaire, Zeno swore never to return there ever again.
After a week of escaping the Mafia billionaire, Zeno finds himself kidnapped and Blackmailed into signing a year's contract as the Mafia's Manny and bodyguard.
Could Zeno escape his evil and monstrous boss? Or would he be consumed by him? Consumed by the forbidden passion he felt build up between them? Would he risk his life just to experience the burn of forbidden love?
Betrayed by his family, ex-wife, and friend five years ago, Sebastian Orion became a totally different being, cold, aloof, and dangerous as he rose to become the most feared Mafia king of the underworld, and everyone who heard his name shivered from fear.
He distrusted everyone and hated any form of human relationships, building a thick wall around himself.
But, not until his son's manny came into the picture.
Zeno irritated him. He hated the mere sight of his bodyguard and would have killed him, if not for the sake of his son.
Sebastian tried to push Zeno away by treating him in the lowest way possible.
But when the contract was coming to an end, were his feelings still the same? Or did he suddenly realize that it wasn't only his son who needed Zeno?

"Shying away from your wifely duties, little wife?" He questioned in a husky voice, lowering his face to hers.
Ariel quickly turned her head away, "No, Mr. Chaz, you're misunderstanding me again," She voiced quietly.
Aiden scoffed, not believing her. He looked down at his chest and found her slim hand still placed against it.
"You're quite corny, Ariel. Saying you don't want me, yet you're hands are all over me," Aiden whispered in her ear.
After overhearing her father and stepmother planning how they were going to marry her off in place of her Stepsister to the unsuccessful son of their debtor. That night, Ariel plans her run away, but that same night, Ariel mysteriously gets kidnapped.
Waking up to discover she'd been kidnapped by the same people she was trying to run away from made her life seem like it had hit rock bottom.
Now, she was going to be forced into a marriage with a man she didn't know and didn't love. But, would everything remain the same for her when she discovers that her new husband was the richest Billionaire in the country?
Chaz Aiden was a successful billionaire with billions of businesses all over the world and zero interest in women, especially after his mother had divorced his father for a richer man. When his grandmother asked him to do him a favor by marrying the Hudson family's daughter, he knew it was for the sake of greed.
He swore to make his new wife's life a living hell, making sure he reminded her that she would always be an object he purchased, contracted and never to be loved.

"What do you call it when I do this?" Nixxon asked and pressed his lips against Vernon's.
Vernon froze, the tantalizing feeling of Nixxon's unexpected kiss rendering him speechless.
"A kiss..." He whispered, breathless.
"It feels good to kiss you, Vernon," Nixxon whispered and... kissed him again.
Nixxon escaped his underwater kingdom, desperate to sever all ties to the ocean. But the human world wasn’t the freedom he imagined...it was another kind of cage. Captured by Vernon, a ruthless Mafia boss who mistook him for a spy or a weapon, Nixxon quickly realized that his survival depended on playing along and on how fast he could learn.
At first, Vernon saw Nixxon as nothing more than a threat...a strange man with no past, no records, and an unnatural way of moving. But the more he interrogates him, the more frustratingly irresistible Nixxon becomes. He’s both naïve and sharp, defiant yet oddly fascinated by human life. And worst of all, he looks at Vernon like he’s something worth knowing.
Forced to keep Nixxon close, Vernon becomes his reluctant guide to the human world...a human encyclopedia; answering innocent yet dangerous questions. What is hunger? Why do humans lie? What does it mean to love?
But when Vernon finally uncovers the truth about Nixxon...who he is, what he is...he faces a choice: free the man he once saw as an enemy… or chain him tighter before he’s stolen away.
Because something tells him Nixxon wasn’t just running from the ocean. Something worse is coming for him.
And Vernon doesn’t know if he wants to save Nixxon… or keep him forever.

Os dezessete anos de Audrey na matilha Grey Blood foram como os de um animal enjaulado. Ela vivia cada dia temendo a próxima coisa inesperada pela qual o Alfa poderia puni-la. Audrey se esforçava para entender o sonho misterioso que vinha tendo, mas nada fazia sentido para ela, estava perdida. Ela desejava ser libertada da matilha Grey Blood, mas perdeu toda esperança de sobrevivência quando se viu trancada e acorrentada na fria e escura masmorra. Ela o odiava, o amaldiçoava enquanto seu sangue escorria. Estava feliz por morrer e se afastar daquele monstro-alfa. Audrey acordou em um mundo mágico onde aprendeu tudo sobre si mesma, cultivou-se para se tornar a loba e bruxa mais forte que já existiu. Um item, no entanto, a levou de volta ao último lugar onde queria estar.
O Alfa Aloha Lake governava a matilha Grey Blood, a maior e mais forte dos Estados Unidos. Ele era conhecido por sua brutalidade, até a máfia o temia. Nada nem ninguém o incomodava, exceto uma pessoa; a maldita Audrey. Ele a odiava e a faria pagar pelos pecados de sua mãe. Mas ele não podia matá-la... ainda.
O Alfa Lake olhou sem emoção para o corpo sangrando de Audrey que jazia no chão frio da masmorra, ordenou a seu beta que a descartasse sem pensar duas vezes.
Um ano depois, os inimigos se encontraram novamente. Será que o ódio será a única emoção que compartilharão? Poderiam resistir à atração fatal que sentiam um pelo outro?

"누구냐. 너는." 공격자의 목소리는 어둡고 위압적이었다.
제노는 싸움꾼이었지만 그 목소리에 등골이 오싹해졌다.
제노의 목을 감싸고 있던 손이 더 세게 조였지만, 그는 이를 악물고 버텼다.
공격자의 외모와 자신감 있는 행동을 보니, 이 사람이 그의 보스임이 분명했다.
~~~
부모님을 잃고 믿기 힘든 의료비에 직면한 제노 에반더는, 신비로운 억만장자의 유모로 일하게 된다. 하지만 마피아 억만장자에게 거의 죽을 뻔한 후, 제노는 다시는 그곳으로 돌아가지 않겠다고 맹세했다.
마피아 억만장자로부터 도망친 지 일주일 만에, 제노는 납치당하고 협박을 받아 마피아의 유모이자 경호원으로 1년 계약을 체결하게 된다.
제노는 그의 사악하고 괴물 같은 보스에게서 도망칠 수 있을까? 아니면 그에게 사로잡히게 될까? 금지된 열정이 그들 사이에 피어오르는 것을 느끼면서, 제노는 목숨을 걸고 그 금지된 사랑의 불꽃을 경험하려 할까?
5년 전, 가족과 전처, 친구에게 배신당한 세바스찬 오리온은 완전히 다른 사람이 되어버렸다. 차갑고 냉담하며 위험한 인물이 되어, 지하 세계에서 가장 두려운 마피아 왕으로 군림하게 되었다. 그의 이름을 들은 사람들은 모두 두려움에 떨었다.
세바스찬은 모든 사람을 불신하고 인간 관계를 혐오하며, 자신 주위에 두터운 벽을 쌓았다.
하지만, 그의 아들의 유모가 등장하기 전까지는 말이다.
제노는 그를 짜증나게 했다. 세바스찬은 그의 경호원이 눈앞에 있는 것만으로도 싫었고, 아들 때문에 그를 죽이지 않은 것이었다.
세바스찬은 제노를 가능한 한 낮은 대우로 밀어내려 했다.
그러나 계약이 끝나갈 무렵, 그의 감정은 여전히 같을까? 아니면 그도 자신의 아들뿐만 아니라 자신도 제노가 필요하다는 것을 깨닫게 될까?
