Chapter 1
Chapter 1
Here comes Nalzen Villarreal. The rich and spoiled brat heiress of Villarreal Company.
She will always get what she wanted. Partying like no tomorrow and hanging out with her friends.
She got the looks, talent, and brain. She got it all, except for being spoiled and stubborn.
Until one day.
Her life changed...
Her parents died in a car accident.
Leaving the last will. Stating, that she can take over and manage the Villarreal Company as a married lady.
Her Uncle Alberto will be the acting President and CEO until the day she will get married.
But she doesn't like the idea of her Uncle being the CEO of their company.
Though they are blood-related, she can't give her whole trust in him.
She needs to get and own what she deserves.
Her boyfriend Nathan went to Germany before her parents died.
Their company is not doing good. They need to settle it as soon as possible.
How can she ask Nathan to marry her?
This is not the right time to get married.
She wants Nathan to propose, without being forced.
She hides it all from Nathan. Not only that, but she wants to avoid disturbing him. Furthermore, she will solve her problem alone.
Her best friend Nica suggested hiring a fake husband.
And she knew a private and famous Club that offered it privately.
The Bird's Eye Club is very popular in terms of renting handsome boys.
But in Nalzen's case, it's a husband for rent. And much more expensive than you could imagine.
But she doesn't care. She still got her precious jewelry that is worth a fortune.
Her decision is final.
And she is truly thankful to Nica for helping her.
Today, she will meet her husband who costs her a fortune.
She will be going to see soon, the husband that she rented...
She felt nervous and excited at the same time.
Bird's Eye Club
Aaron Montgomery
"What! Are you joking?" I asked him unbelievably.
I just can't believe why he chose this kind of business. A dirty business to be exact!
But his club is doing perfectly fine and is very famous here in the City of Manila.
The luxurious Club which designed beautifully with a theme of Spanish designs from the 1960s.
The design looks old but elegant that matches the handsome boys for rent at the club.
"No, I'm not joking at all! You're taking a vacation for two months, right? It's just like you are practicing being a husband." Arthur answered desperation is written all over his face.
Practicing my foot.
"Seriously, Arthur. Don't you have any employees out there?" I feel like laughing out loud but seeing Arthur's worried face, I choose to keep quiet.
"It's a peak season, All of them are fully booked," he explains.
Fully booked? Sounds funny!
"Huh, the peak season of a rented husband? I just can't believe this," he is giving me a headache.
And my head started to ache for this friend of mine!
"You are the only rented husband, all the boys are just for fun. You know, those old matrons. You must be thankful that this client is young and rich." he added.
That rings a bell. Who is this young and rich girl?
She must have lots of money to play.
Those young spoiled brats of the new generation.
"Wow, so I'm lucky. But still, my answer is no. I declined, I don't have time for a game like this." I walk out the door but stop when Arthur shouts, sounding desperate.
"I will give you my private resort in Batangas!" He shouted.
Sounds interesting...
I stop walking and turn around.
Man, he is serious!
I know that his private resort is one of the tourist attractions here in the Philippines. And he will give it to me? So this topic is getting serious.
"This can be your gift to Andrea. You know she loves the view in there," he is tempting me to take the bait.
And he sounds encouraging, should I give in?
"Seriously?" I asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I am serious. The client has paid already. And because it is a special case. The payment is worth a fortune." Arthur explained.
"A fortune, how about- I pay you instead? So, no problem anymore." I suggested.
Arthur's face became sour.
"We already signed the contract. They will sue me. And I don't want that to happen, my reputation in this industry will be ruined!" Arthur's face seems serious this time.
I'm not familiar with this kind of business as he said, and I don't have any intention to join.
"Please, it's only for two months. Thereafter, you are free." He begs again.
Arthur is my best buddy and friend. And this is the first time he asked for a favor.
"Okay, I agree, but I will take the resort. Prepare the contract and transfer it to Andrea's name." I am a businessman after all.
My fiancée, Andrea, loves his beach resort so much. There's still a benefit, being a husband for rent.
"Thank you, bro." Arthur is happy.
Nalzen
I was very shocked while looking at the Greek God beauty in front of me.
He is very handsome!
He is not fit to work in this kind of job.
But we cannot judge people. We don't know what they are going through.
I am spoiled and stubborn, but I respect their private life.
Anyway, Bird's Eye Club is very famous nowadays, especially with the handsome boys that they have.
Many old matrons and single ladies are renting their boys just for you know...
But my case is different from theirs.
I need a husband to inherit my family's business.
"Hello Ms. Nalzen, This is Aaron, your rented husband." I guess, this is the owner of the club.
His name is Arthur if I'm not mistaken.
I need to tell him my rules that he needs to follow within two months.
Especially if we are in front of the public.
"Nice to meet you, Aaron, here are the rules that I make. It is only implemented if we are in front of other people. We need to pretend. You know, being sweet with each other, something like that." I explained.
He just, smirk?
"No problem," he accepted the papers and started checking them.
"By the way, our wedding is on Sunday. So, anytime now or tomorrow, you can move into my house." I remind him.
His smile turns to a frown.
His angelic face turns into a devil one.
What is happening?
"Wedding?" He asks surprised then look at Arthur.
"You didn't tell me about this wedding thingy?" He asked, disbelief showing all over his face.
Nica is not here. I don't know what kind of deal she and Arthur agreed to.
I need to answer on behalf of Arthur, as he is speechless at the moment.
"Aaron, there's nothing to worry about. It is just a fake wedding. I just need to show and prove to my uncle that I got married." I told him.
But he frowned even more.
"Yeah, I know, but it is still fake and not real. I thought we just have to pretend without a real wedding involve." He answered.
Disbelief is showing on his handsome face.
Oh well, it is still a wedding with a stranger. I understand him, but we already paid. And the wedding should push through whether he likes it or not!
"I'm sorry, but this is the only way to prove that I am getting married for real. And I already paid, You are mine for two months." I'm trying to control myself from being angry.
Aaron laugh.
"Tsk, I just can't believe this, Arthur. But yeah, I already signed that fucking contract. There's nothing I can do," he is so arrogant!
"Aaron, mine your words." Arthur chimed in.
Afraid of my possible reaction.
I feel rejected. How could he turn me down?
I am Nalzen Villarreal. Every man wants to be with me!
How could he?
"Having a wedding is the most important of all. Don't worry, there is no photographer, no media, nothing at all. Just a close family of mine and my Uncle's family. The wedding planner, photographer, and everyone who is involved, including you, are only pretending. I have a boyfriend and I don't want him to know that I will marry another man, although it's fake I still don't want him to know. So don't you worry, the whole plot and scenario are all fake, including the characters?" I'm glad that I manage my anger gracefully.
Hopefully, My lengthy explanation will convince him.
"Yeah, right, we are just a character in this drama that you rich people played." He said with disdain in his words. And anger radiating all over his face.
But I don't care at all! He is mine as I already paid him. There's nothing he can do anymore.
"Let me remind you, Mr. Aaron, that you are just a husband for rent, yet acting like a decent man. I am your Master and you are my slave for two months. Don't worry, I will let you go after the contract has ended."
That's it. I cannot control my anger any more!
He just laughed.
He is crazy. And I need to bear with him for two months.
Will things go well?
I don't know...

Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
The Alpha Of The Shadow Pack And His Mute Luna
Vanessa, the mute runt of a cursed litter, has only ever known cruelty and abuse. Her voice stolen by a witch’s spell, her freedom crushed by a brutal father, she’s been promised to a monster she doesn’t want. But fate intervenes when she’s left for dead—bleeding, broken, and bound—only to be rescued by Alpha Alfred of the Shadow Pack.
Alfred, fighting against a generational curse that has doomed his brothers to remain wolves forever, never expected his fated mate to be a fragile girl on the brink of death. But the moment he breathes in her scent, everything changes.
Together, they must confront the past, survive betrayal, and uncover the true key to breaking the curses that bind them. Will their bond be strong enough to save them both?
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
Iron And Glamour Just Don't Mix
Well… Sometimes you just might turn out to be right.
It turns out, the fae stole my little brother. In his place? A pixie with boundary issues and a talent for home repairs.
I’ve spent my life taking care of everyone else. So when my baby brother is taken, I don’t hesitate. I walk straight into a faerie mansion and make a bargain with its infuriatingly charming master.
Kie is everything you’d expect from a dangerous fae, beautiful, political, and entirely too amused by me. Power wrapped in a smirk. Sensual, mischievous, and far too aware of the effect he has on people. He agrees to help me find my brother.
For a price.
Now I’m bound by a faerie bargain and navigating a world of glamour, manipulation, and ancient rules I definitely should have learned sooner, enchanted forests, political games, magical contracts, and a fae lord who treats seduction like a perfectly reasonable negotiation tactic.
Iron is how I keep people out.
Glamour is how he draws them in.
And apparently, they just don’t mix.
Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.
When he grabbed my jersey in that locker room and kissed me in front of twenty cameras, it wasn't a mistake. It was the moment the line between hatred and obsession finally snapped. The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...
The First Female Alpha
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
Tango with the Alpha's Heart
“He met her at the Alpha training camp,” he said. “She is a perfect suitor for him. It snowed last night, indicating that his wolf is happy with his choice.”
My heart sank, and tears made their way down my cheeks.
Alexander took my innocence last night, and now he is taking that thing in his office as his Luna.

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, she’s 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 doesn’t 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?
.
"I’m 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 she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
