Chapter 1
"린하오, 우리 세족수 버려"
장모님 왕숙펀이 거만하게 발로 고급 홍목으로 만든 세족통을 툭툭 차며 말했다.
"잠시만요 어머님, 이 그릇들 다 닦고 버릴게요" 부엌에서 고개 숙여 설거지하던 린하오가 큰 소리로 대답했다.
"네가 귀머거리냐? 내가! 말했잖아! 당장 내 세족수 버리라고! 두 번 말하게 하지 마!" 왕숙펀은 오늘 집에 돌아와서부터 기분이 몹시 언짢았고, 얼굴이 시커멓게 변해 있었다. 이 쓸모없는 린하오가 말을 듣지 않으니 더욱 속이 탔다.
린하오의 몸이 세게 떨렸고, 가슴속에서 화가 치밀어 올랐다. 이를 꽉 깨물고 주먹을 세게 쥐었다. 그가 입을 열기도 전에 거실에서 그의 아내 선시옌의 목소리가 들려왔다.
"린하오, 엄마가 말씀하시는데 못 들었어? 굳이 엄마를 화나게 하려는 거야?! 빨리 가!" 선시옌의 목소리는 극도로 차가웠고, 어조에는 짙은 혐오와 실망감이 묻어났다.
선시옌은 외모가 준수한 미인으로, 키는 168cm에 하얀 피부와 아름다운 얼굴, 긴 다리를 가졌다. 지금 발을 씻고 나서 길고 곧은 하얀 다리에 오일과 바디로션을 바르고 있었다. 그녀는 고개도 들지 않고 부엌에서 설거지하는 린하오에게 소리쳤다.
"정말 쓸모없는 놈이야, 뭐 하나 제대로 못해! 시옌아, 오늘 내가 왕 아줌마네 가서 마작 했는데, 걔네 사위는 큰 회사 임원이더라. 차도 있고 집도 있고. 왕 아줌마가 얼마나 뽐내던지, 콧대가 하늘을 찌를 정도였어! 아이고, 이 쓸모없는 놈을 보면 화가 치밀어! 큰 남자가 매일 집에만 있고, 밖에 나가서 일할 줄도 모르고. 매일 설거지하고 밥하고 빨래하고, 가정부 같아. 그 설거지, 닭한테 쌀 한 줌 주는 게 너보다 낫겠다! 진짜 개만도 못해! 못난이! 쓸모없는 놈! 차라리 개를 키우는 게 나을 거야!" 장모님 왕숙펀은 말할수록 화가 나서 결국 발로 세족통을 세게 차버렸고, 세족수는 바닥에 쏟아졌으며 고급 홍목 세족통도 거실 바닥에 나뒹굴었다.
옆에 있던 선시옌은 깜짝 놀라 부엌을 향해 큰소리로 외쳤다.
"린하오! 우리 엄마 화나게 하려고 작정했어? 빨리 와서 바닥 닦고 세족통 정리하고 엄마한테 사과해! 너랑 결혼한 게 내 인생 최대의 실수야! 지금 너한테 시집온 걸 정말 후회해!" 선시옌도 화가 나 있었다. 린하오 이 쓸모없는 놈이 그들 집에 들어와 일 년 동안 일하러 나가지도 않고 매일 집에서 빨래하고 밥하고. 정말 체면을 다 구겼다. 그녀는 밖에 나가서 친구들에게 린하오 같은 쓸모없는 사람과 결혼했다는 말을 차마 할 수 없었다! 말하면 창피할 뿐이었다!
부엌에서 막 세제를 짜서 앞치마를 두르고 손으로 그릇을 닦고 있던 린하오의 몸이 세게 떨렸다. 가슴속의 분노를 더 이상 억누를 수 없었다. 화가 치밀어 올라 방금 씻은 접시를 세게 바닥에 내던졌다. 접시는 바닥에 떨어져 산산조각이 났다.
그는 접시를 쳐다보지도 않고 소리쳤다. "다들 닥쳐!" 린하오가 거실에 있는 모녀에게 갑자기 큰소리로 외쳤다.
왕숙펀과 선시옌은 린하오가 화내는 모습을 처음 봐서 순간 얼어붙어 말을 잇지 못했다.
린하오는 주먹을 꽉 쥐었다. 그래, 그는 선가의 데릴사위였지만, 더 중요한 건 그가 옌징의 숨겨진 명문가의 상속자라는 사실이었다! 그런데 왜 그의 높은 신분에도 불구하고 선가의 데릴사위가 되었을까?
그것은 린하오가 고등학교 때 선시옌과 같은 반이었기 때문이었다. 그 당시 린하오의 가문은 그를 단련시키기 위해 방치 상태로 두었다. 매일 적은 생활비만 주었고, 그 시절의 린하오는 배고픔에 시달렸으며, 얼마 안 되는 생활비마저 불량배들에게 빼앗겼다. 반 친구들 중 아무도 그를 신경 쓰지 않았지만, 오직 선시옌만이 그를 불쌍히 여겨 자주 자신의 도시락을 나눠주었다. 고등학교 시절의 순수한 시기에 린하오는 선시옌을 좋아하게 되었다.
대학 졸업 후 가문을 이어받은 린하오는 본래 난장시에 와서 선시옌을 찾아 평생의 영광을 안겨주려 했다. 그런데 마침 일 년 전, 선시옌의 아버지가 위독해져 임종 직전에 딸에게 돌봐줄 사람이 없을까 걱정하며, 또한 선시옌이 선가의 재산을 물려받을 수 있도록 사위를 들이기로 했다. 그래서 린하오는 번거로운 과정을 생략하고 바로 데릴사위가 되기로 했다.
결혼한 이 일 년 동안, 린하오는 자신의 가문의 엄청난 권세를 이용해 몰래 선시옌에게 닥칠 많은 문제들을 해결해주었다. 그는 선시옌이 아버지를 잃은 슬픔에서 벗어나지 못할까 봐, 이 일 년간 자신의 사업을 포기하고 오직 그녀 곁에서 그녀를 돌보는 데 전념했다. 빨래하고 밥 짓고, 모든 면에서 최선을 다해 돌봤다!
린하오는 자신의 헌신을 선시옌이 알아줄 거라고 생각했지만, 누가 알았겠는가, 그의 세심한 배려가 돌아온 것은 한 번 또 한 번의 무시와 강물처럼 쏟아지는 모욕이었다! 이제 그는 갑자기 깨달았다. 예로부터 개처럼 비굴하게 구는 사람은 좋은 결말을 맞지 못한다는 것을! 그의 마음은 완전히 식어버렸고, 이제 더 이상 연기하지 않기로 했다! 모든 것을 공개하기로 했다!
물론 그는 여전히 선시옌을 사랑했지만, 선시옌은 이미 그의 마음을 철저히 상처 입혔다. 린하오는 깊게 숨을 들이쉬고, 수놓은 앞치마를 풀어 싱크대에 던진 뒤 거실로 걸어갔다.
이때 거실에 있던 왕숙펀이 정신을 차리고 바로 화를 냈다. 바닥의 세족수도 신경 쓰지 않고 바로 린하오 앞으로 다가와 얼굴에 분노를 가득 담고 린하오의 코앞에 손가락을 들이대며 소리쳤다. "너, 너, 너, 너 뭐라고 생각하는 거야! 개자식! 감히 우리 선가의 물건을 깨다니! 누가 너한테 그런 배짱을 줬어! 용기 있으면 시옌이랑 이혼하고, 우리 선가에서 꺼져! 이제부터 우리 선가와 인연을 끊어! 앞으로는 서로 상관하지 말자!"

My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
"So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers.

The Shadow Of A Luna
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.

No one could resist the charming Adrian, and I joined his mysterious pack hidden deep in the desert.
The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
