Chapter 1
수가는 남정성의 최고 부자 집안이었다.
안타깝게도, 수 노인장 수창렴이 후원에 처첩이 많았음에도 불구하고, 슬하에는 딸 하나뿐이었고, 그것도 불혹의 나이에 겨우 얻은 것이었다.
수 노인장은 이제 예순이 넘는 고령으로, 반은 이미 저승길에 들어선 셈인데, 젊었을 때도 자식 얻기 힘들었는데 지금은 더더욱 어려웠다.
저택에는 딸 하나뿐인데, 이 거대한 가업을 이을 사람이 필요하니, 수 아가씨에게 데릴사위를 들이는 수밖에 없지 않을까?
온 성의 백성들과 수 노인장 자신도 그렇게 생각했다.
만약 이 외동딸이 평범한 여자였다면 괜찮았을 테지, 데릴사위면 데릴사위지, 딸에게 충분한 의지할 것만 남겨주면 수가의 가업을 지키고 평안하게 평생을 살 수 있을 테니까.
하지만 안타깝게도, 수 아가씨 수약란은 극히 드문 소음군이었다.
집안에 후계자가 있다면, 소음군을 여럿 낳는 것은 절대적으로 좋은 일이다.
왜일까?
다들 알다시피, 소음군은 출산 능력이 매우 강하고, 오직 한 명의 소양군에게만 표식될 수 있으며, 표식된 후에는 기본적으로 몸과 마음 모두 그 소양군에게 속하게 되어 다른 남자나 소양을 쳐다보지 않게 된다.
출산 능력이 강하고, 자기 남편에게 정절을 지키며, 다른 이와 쉽게 관계를 맺지 않고, 가장 중요한 것은, 가문의 혈통이 흐려지지 않는다는 것이다.
이런 며느리, 어느 집에서 안 원하겠는가?
소음군을 낳으면, 반드시 소양군이 있는 집안들이 앞다투어 구하러 올 것이고, 문턱이 닳도록 구혼객들이 찾아올 것이다.
소음군을 며느리로 들이면, 적어도 그의 수가처럼 혈통이 끊어질까 걱정할 필요가 없을 테니.
하지만 후계자가 없는 상황에서 소음군만 있으면 문제가 생긴다.
소양을 데려와 주인 노릇 시킬 건가?
그러면 딸은 그 사람에게 완전히 빠져서, 그 사람 아니면 안 되는데, 자기 집안에서는 그 소양을 일반 데릴사위처럼 대할 수도 없고, 그를 꼼짝 못하게 할 수도 없다.
그 사람이 딸에게 표식만 하면, 저택에서 제멋대로 행동하고 심지어 주인 행세까지 할 수 있게 된다. 왜냐하면 딸은 그 사람 외에 다른 사람에게 시집갈 수 없고, 그 사람에게 묶여 살아야 하기 때문이다.
만약 그가 이십 년쯤 젊었다면 괜찮았을 텐데, 최악의 경우 손자를 키워서 나중에 가업을 손자에게 넘겨주고, 그 소양이 손대지 못하게 할 수도 있었을 테니.
하지만 그는 이미 예순이 넘었고, 얼마나 더 살 수 있을지 모른다.
손자를 볼 때까지 기다릴 수 없다.
그가 죽고 나면, 누가 이 사위를 제한할 수 있을까?
그래서 사위 선택에 있어서 꼼꼼하고 또 꼼꼼하게 골라야 했다.
결국 이렇게 고르고 골라서, 딸이 이미 스무 살이 되었는데도 아직 마음에 드는 사위를 찾지 못해, 딸은 여전히 시집가지 못한 상태였다.
이는 수 노인장을 매우 걱정스럽게 만들었다.
다시 말하자면, 수 노인장이 얼마나 힘들게 사위를 고르든, 수 아가씨 수약란은 약간 걱정스럽긴 했지만, 한 집안의 외동딸이자 이 거대한 가업을 물려받을 사람으로서는 꽤 편안한 생활을 누리고 있었다.
어느 날, 수약란은 규방 친구 진우련에게서 자색난초 씨앗을 여러 개 받아, 자신의 정원에 심으려고 했다.
온 성의 백성들이 알다시피, 수약란은 꽃을 아끼는 사람이었다.
그녀는 개인 정원도 가지고 있었다.
정원은 크지 않았지만, 안에는 각종 희귀한 품종의 꽃들로 가득 차 있었고, 모두 그녀가 직접 고르거나 심은 것들이었다.
심는 문제에 관해 말하자면, 단순히 꽃만 심는 거라면 수 아가씨도 혼자 할 수 있지만, 각종 화분을 옮기는 일은 체력이 필요한 일이라, 몸이 약한 귀한 아가씨는 할 수 없어서 반드시 사람을 불러 도움을 받아야 했다.
그리고 이 정원은 그녀에게 있어서 목숨과도 같은 존재였기에, 많은 귀한 꽃들이 상처 입을까 봐 평소에는 사람들이 들어오는 것을 허락하지 않았다.
기껏해야 몸종 하나만 데리고 들어왔다.
하지만 주인들의 몸종은 저택에서 반쯤은 주인과 같은 존재라, 무거운 일은 할 수 없었다.
그래서 무거운 일을 전문적으로 하는 사람을 또 찾아야 했다.
하지만 그들은 두 약한 여자일 뿐이라, 남자와 단둘이 있을 수도 없었다. 명성을 해칠 뿐만 아니라 위험할 수도 있었기 때문이다.
가장 적합한 선택은 당연히 힘이 센 여자였다.
일반적으로 큰 집안에서 무거운 일을 담당하는 이들은 노예들이었다.
그런데, 이전에 수약란을 위해 일하던 노예가 잘못을 저질러 맞아 죽었기 때문에, 그녀는 옥향을 데리고 노예방에 가서 적합한 사람을 다시 골라야 했다.
여러 질문 끝에, 관리인은 '아'라는 여자 노예가 힘이 세다고 말했다.
수약란은 아가 적합한지 보러 가기로 했다.
하지만 아가 있는 마당 밖에 도착하자마자, 두 사람은 마당 안에서 들려오는 소리를 들었다.
"팟, 팟, 팟..." 채찍이 누군가의 몸을 때리는 소리 같았다.
"으악, 아악, 으으..." 여자의 비명 소리였다.
"때려, 제대로 세게 때려, 이 망할 천한 노예, 감히 내가 연아에게 줄 비녀를 훔치다니, 오늘 너를 때려죽이지 않으면..." 젊은 남자의 고함 소리였다.
이런 광경은 저택에서 자주 벌어지는 일이라, 수약란은 이미 놀랄 것도 없었다.
오히려 그녀 옆의 옥향이 발을 동동 구르며 화를 냈다. "아가씨, 또 이 이유재네요. 이 부인의 동생은 정말... 우리 수가에 얹혀사는 것도 모자라서, 사흘이 멀다 하고 노예들을 때려서 망가뜨리고, 망가지면 일을 할 수 없잖아요, 저택의 수확에도 영향을 미칠 거예요. 게다가 이 사람은 손도 아주 독해서, 거의 매달 한두 명씩 노예를 때려죽인다니까요. 이 부인도 좀 관리를 해야 하는데..."

I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
