Introduction
My name is Four, yes four, like the number. Of course, it wasn't always my name, but since I was brought to the auctions, it has been what I've been called and what everyone knows me as.
Long ago, I was the proud daughter of the alpha and luna of Blue Moon, but after our pack was brought to ruin, I became one of many awaiting their fate.
You see, in this place, we are no longer people. Instead, we are just things waiting for the day we are bought and given our purpose in life, whether it be a slave, a mistress, a breeder, or worse, an offering.
For years, I've waited for the day that I am bought and given my meaning for living, but so far, it hasn't happened.
the auctioneers say it is because of my eyes. They say that they remind the buyers of the devil and that they fear that if they buy me, I will do nothing but bring ruin to them and their packs. That is, until the day he found me and took me out of this place after saying one thing.
"You with those eyes like a blade have brought ruin to me and because of that you must spend your life atoning."
After that, he became my purpose, my meaning, and with each passing day, I grew more and more greedy. How long will these pleasant days last, especially when conspiracy is rising and betrayal is around every corner?
Will the worries that those who never bought me turn out to be true, or will the odds be defied?
Chapter 1
[Pandoraâs POV]
âGet up!â The voice rings out around me, startling me from the light doze that Iâve just managed to obtain. âGet up, now!â
Gasping, I feel my collar being yanked and then Iâm crashing to the ground. My eyes fly open and when I look up, I find Geoffrey, my guard staring down at me with a look of amusement.
âAbout damn time.â He growls, tugging my chain again. âGet your ass up.â
âIâm up,â I hiss, lifting my hands and taking in the scrapes on them. âWas all of this even necessary?â
As I speak, I slowly stand so that he can see the injuries on my skin. To no oneâs surprise, he smirks and a look of pride flashes in his dark eyes that causes a grimace to rush through me.
âIf you got up the first time this wouldnât have happened.â He points out, unhooking my chain. âCome on.â
He doesnât wait for me to respond before he begins to pull me forward, leading me out of my cell and into the hall that is already lined with others like me.
They stand stiffly, their faces expressionless, their eyes hollow. Itâs the norm here in this place, but everytime I see it it unnerves me.
Iâve lived here for the past seven years, waiting, and hoping that I would be able to become free, but no amount of hope ever brought my wish to fruition. By this point, I was beginning to think that maybe it would never happen since no one wanted to buy me.
You see, Iâm cursed, at least, that is what they say about me. With my white hair and golden eyes, I stand out too much. And even though you would think that someone would buy me because of these features, they avoided me.
Maybe it was because of the rumors that surrounded me. That I was a demon in wolves clothing waiting for my chance to destroy whoever bought me. That I was the reason my entire pack was destroyed. That I brought bad luck to anyone I crossed.
You see, I wasnât always a prisoner of this place. I was once the proud daughter of the Crimson Moon pack. My father and mother were the alpha and luna of said pack and because of that I was next in line to take over. At least, that was what was supposed to happen, but in the end, I never got the chance.
One horrible night my pack was attacked. Everyone I knew and loved was killed and I was taken.
Even now, I remember that day like it was just yesterday, no amount of years that passed made it disappear from my memory and honestly, I didnât want it to disappear anyway. It was a night that I should remember since everyone died while I was unable to do anything to stop it.
Iâm sorry. I think silently, my heart squeezing painfully, my breath hitching. Iâm so sorry.
âMove it,â Geoffrey huffs, tugging me out of my reverie. âStop dragging your feet.â
âSorry,â I huff, trying to not fall. âMaybe if you didnât go so fast, I couldâŚAH!â
I donât get to finish my words before Iâm crashing forward, my body hitting the ground, and my head bouncing against the cement.
âShit,â I hiss, attempting to get up only to be dragged.
âI told you to keep up.â
Itâs all Geoffrey says, before continuing to move while I work myself back to my feet and when we finally reach our destination, the bath maids are already waiting.
âWait,â I hiss as Iâm led to the tubs that are meant for those who will be up for auction. âWhy am I being brought here?â
Since I never sold, the madam tended not to bother with bathing me. Instead, she would just keep me chained to the side so that I could watch the others be sold off while I remained.
âThis is your lucky night.â A smooth, sweet voice purrs and when I turn I see the madam. âYouâre the star of the evening.â
Star? What was she talking about? What was happening?
With each passing minute I could feel my fear growing.
âI donât understand,â I say. âWhy would IâŚâ
âMake sure that she is extra clean.â The madam orders, ignoring me completely. âOtherwise, it will be your head.â
âOf course,â Geoffrey chuckles. âWe will make sure that she pleases our guest and returns everything to us that she owes.â
âWhat?â I gasp, still not understanding what was going on. âWhat does that mean?â
Of course, I knew what it meant. I knew what happened at these auctions, but for them to being saying such things about me just didnât make sense.
âCome along, mutt,â Geoffrey orders, tugging me again. âStop dilly-dallying. If you think youâre going to get out of being auctioned if you waste enough time, youâre wrong.â
âNo!â I gasp, beginning to fight. âNo! I donât want to!â
Even though I knew that fighting wouldnât get me anywhere, I still couldnât stop myself from trying to stop Geoffrey from taking me any further.
âBe obedient.â Geoffrey growls, pulling my chain roughly so I crash to my knees in front of him. âYou donât want your buyer to see you covered in injuries, do you?â
âWould it mean that my value is lessened?â I challenge and immediately regret it as the madamâs fingers twist into my hair and pull.
âListen here, you vile little creature.â She growls, lifting me so that we are eye to eye. âIâve wasted a lot of time and money on you and itâs time that you return all that to me.â
âI didnât ask you to.â I growl.
Instantly, the madams free hand finds my cheek and my head is snapping to the side while my ear rings and the taste of blood fills my mouth.
âUngrateful, wretch!â She snarls, her eyes flashing dangerously. âI do hope that your new owner properly beats you into submission because if you were sticking around here, I would do it myself.â
âI wonât have a buyer,â I tell her, my lips twitching into a sneer of amusement. âNo one ever buys me! Thatâs why Iâm still here.â
"Not this evening." The madam's smile is all triumph now, cold and razor-edged and absolutely certain. "This evening, you will be bought. Your buyer made very specific arrangements to ensure you become his tonight." She shoves me toward the tubs with casual violence. "Now get your ass moving."
And just like that, the world tilts again.
Someone wants me.
Someone has arranged to buy me specifically.
The question isn't whether I'll be sold anymore.
The question is: why?

Reborn To Rule: I Will Seize The Throne!
He paused, his gaze never leaving mine.
"And I don't share what's mine."
â

When I opened my eyes again, I was five years in the pastâbefore the betrayal, before my death and before the beginning of it all.

His Lethal Obsession
He didn't respond but moved his eyes around the room, scanning the place.
"Wha...what are you doing here?"
His icy blue eyes returned to me, sending shivers down my spine. Then further dropped to my dress and then back to my eyes.
"The shit going on downstairs, what does it mean?" he asked, making my legs as weak as they are eager to flee.
"It's....it my wedding,"
He scoffed darkly. "Excuse me?"
I swallowed. "I am......getting married,"
He let out a humorless laugh, looking away and giving me lesser comfort. He looked at me with a demonic frown.
Terror washed me.
"Every single motherfucker/human being here, be it adult or child, including you, will burn before that happens,"

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been gloryâblood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend meâhe sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrenderâdive into the waves and never surfaceâbut the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precisionâbecoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding strangerâand my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me payâand take back everything that was stolen from me.

Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, sheâs spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesnât bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"Iâm keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though sheâs already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "Youâll hurt her."
"Sheâs ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
