Cruel

Humans were living peacefully on Earth for millions and millions of years until the day unknown monsters who called themselves Sulckers, invaded them from beyond space. They were fast, ruthless, and cruel monsters ready to claim earth realm for themselves. Humans were being slaughtered mercilessly by the seconds and civilization came crumbling in the face of the invaders. However, just when humans were on the verge of going extinct and nonexistent, a heaven-sent phenomenon occurred. A small group of humans with awoken special abilities came to light and shared their abilities to the world. Teleportation, fire manipulation, water manipulation, monstrous strength that could move mountains; humans had finally gained the power to fight back. With the combined effort of the small group of humans, the Sulckers were pushed back to their planet, and humanity once again regained control over their planet. Though the battle ended there, the war was not. This war had created many orphans, and among them, Erix had lost everything, even his parents at a tender age. And the only thing he had received from their death was a pale-looking necklace. He was bullied every day at school because of how weak and abilityless he was. However, once the necklace was finally activated, Erix was granted a system, and his whole life was turned around. He completed quest after quest and became more powerful, until one day the system gave him a weird quest he wasn’t sure he could complete. [New quest received] [Control your uncontrollable thirst for human blood. Abstain from human blood, but during this time your HP would keep decreasing by -1HP/1 hour. Quest will be marked complete once you have lost all your HP]

Isabella viu a irmã se casar com o marido, ter o filho que ele desejava e acabar tomando a casa dela. É então que surge Augusto, o playboy mais comentado das colunas sociais, conhecido por escândalos e romances passageiros. Ele aparece com uma proposta inesperada: um contrato. Um casamento de fachada. Para Isabella, seria a chance de recuperar o que perdeu — dinheiro, status e poder — e, talvez, destruir aqueles que a fizeram sofrer.

Em meio a mistérios, intrigas familiares e desejos proibidos, Isabella e Augusto terão de enfrentar sentimentos que jamais imaginaram, amor, lealdade, ciúmes e a difícil arte de confiar novamente.

Connor Waratah, once heir to the powerful Waratah empire, lives a humble life in Melbourne after being cast out by his family, falsely branded a thief, and abandoned when he needed them most. When the family’s loyal retainer, Jimmy Coolabah, arrives to bring him back, Connor rejects the offer, unwilling to forgive their betrayal. Later, at his wife Kirra’s wealthy Kuranda family gathering, Connor makes a desperate public plea for a loan to save the struggling Billabong Elder Care and Children’s Home—the orphanage where he was raised. His appeal is met with ridicule, insults, and humiliation, leading to his ejection from the event. Kirra, furious over the embarrassment, demands that if Connor wants to redeem himself, he must secure a lucrative property deal her family has long been denied. But when Connor returns to the care home to confess his failure, he discovers a mysterious $2 million donation, medical supplies, and toys for the children—courtesy of Jimmy Coolabah. Jimmy also presents him with two staggering gifts: a rare black card with unlimited funds and full ownership of Jarrah Properties, the very company controlling the building Kirra needs. Though Connor refuses the wealth outright, he realizes he now has the power to help both the care home and his wife. Keeping his fortune and new position a secret, Connor visits Jarrah Properties, enduring cruel treatment from an old enemy before revealing to the company president that he is the new owner. Connor orders that Kirra’s family be given fair access to properties without ever knowing his involvement. Determined to restore the orphanage, protect his wife’s pride, and quietly outmaneuver those who wronged him, Connor begins using his hidden influence to change their lives—on his own terms.

“Sarah!” Robin’s voice cracked, raw with betrayal. “After everything I did for you? The bone marrow donation—” Sarah rolled her eyes dramatically, her laughter sharp and dismissive. “Oh, please. Did you really think I cared about you? You were just… convenient.” Marcus moved to stand beside her, draping an arm around her shoulders. “Tell him about the face you made when he thought you actually liked him back. That story kills at parties.” The laughter between them burned through Robin’s veins. Every memory of their time together—every smile, every touch, every whispered promise—twisted into something ugly and false. “You used me…” Robin whispered, the truth finally sinking in. Sarah tilted her head, her expression cold and mocking. “Obviously. Let me spell it out for you, since you’re too dense to get it.” She stepped closer, her voice dripping with contempt. "I only kept you around because your bone marrow matched mine. Now that I'm cured, you're about as useful as yesterday's garbage. But look on the bright side – at least some part of you turned out to be useful. More than we can say for the rest!" After donating his bone marrow to save Sarah's life, Robin discovers their relationship was nothing but a cruel joke. Beaten and left for dead in a kennel of vicious guard dogs, his mysterious family ring suddenly activates, revealing his true heritage as heir to America's most powerful shadow organization! With supernatural abilities and unimaginable wealth as Eagle Industries' new CEO, Robin would show them what happens when you mistake kindness for weakness. After all, when you've been treated like a dog, sometimes you have to bare your fangs to survive!

Por três anos, esperei para ser a Luna perfeita da minha alcateia e dar um herdeiro ao Alfa. Três anos de mentiras, sendo a intrusa no amor de outro casal. Três anos sofrendo a perda do meu bebê e planejando vingança contra o homem que desfigurou meu rosto e destruiu meu ventre. Morrer capturada pela minha própria alcateia ou escapar e sobreviver eram as únicas escolhas, e eu decidi me esconder e viver. O Rei Lycan, Aldric Thorne, o mais sanguinário e cruel líder dos lobos, governava com mãos de ferro. Tornei-me sua criada pessoal, a posição mais perigosa que poderia ocupar, onde um único erro poderia custar minha vida. Mas ninguém do meu passado me procuraria ali. "Sempre submissa, não fale, não ouça, não veja nada, não incomode o Lycan ou morrerá." Eram regras simples de seguir, e achei que estava indo bem até que, um dia, o Rei me fez uma proposta impossível de recusar. — Quer que eu salve essas pessoas? Então entregue-se a mim esta noite. Seja minha mulher. Eu te desejo, e sei que sente o mesmo. Apenas uma vez, Valeria. Só uma vez... Mas não foi apenas uma vez, e a paixão se transformou em amor. Aquele homem frio e indomável conseguiu conquistar também o meu coração. No entanto, quando meu passado volta para me assombrar e a verdade sobre minha origem vem à tona, sou obrigada a tomar outra decisão: fugir do Rei Lycan ou esperar por sua misericórdia. "Sinto muito, mas desta vez não vou perder meus filhotes, nem mesmo por você, Aldric." Meu nome é Valeria Von Carstein, e esta é a minha complicada história de amor com o Rei Lycan.

Tres años he esperado para ser la Luna perfecta de mi manada y darle un heredero al Alfa. Tres años de mentiras, siendo la intrusa en el amor de otros. Tres años para sufrir la muerte de mi bebé y vengarme del hombre que desfiguró mi rostro y destrozó mi vientre. Morir capturada por mi propia manada o escapar y sobrevivir, eran mis dos caminos y tomé la decisión de esconderme y vivir. El Rey Lycan, Aldric Thorne, el más sanguinario y cruel que dirigía a los hombres lobos con mano de hierro, me convertí en su doncella personal, la posición más peligrosa, donde podía perder la cabeza en cualquier momento, en el mínimo desliz, pero nadie de mi pasado me buscaría aquí. “Siempre sumisa, no hables, no escuches, no veas nada, no molestes al Lycan o morirás” eran reglas simples a seguir y pensé estar haciéndolo bien, hasta que un día, el Rey me hizo una proposición que no pude rechazar. — ¿Quieres que salve a esas personas? Entonces entrégate a mí esta noche, sé mi mujer, te deseo y sé que sientes lo mismo, una vez, Valeria, solo una vez… Pero no fue solo una vez y la pasión se convirtió en amor. Ese hombre frío e indomable logró conquistar también mi corazón. Sin embargo, cuando el pasado viene a acosarme y la verdad de mi nacimiento se revela ante mí, debo volver a tomar una decisión, escapar del Rey Lycan o esperar por su misericordia. “Lo lamento, pero esta vez no perderé de nuevo a mis cachorros, ni siquiera por ti, Aldric” Mi nombre es Valeria Von Carstein y esta, es mi complicada historia de amor con el Rey Lycan.
