Introduction
I hid my identity, wanting only to protect the woman who had saved me — until one day, her family fell into crisis. Everyone came to bully her, take everything she had, and even force her out onto the streets.
I stopped hiding and stepped forward. Anyone who dares to harm her will pay the price!
Chapter 1
"Shit, get the hell off me."
The woman thrust her hips up hard, throwing Jack Caldwell off just as he was about to climax. A sharp pain shot through his groin.
Jack glared at the woman angrily, but she kicked him in the stomach, making him double over.
"What the hell is wrong with you!"
It was hard to believe that an hour ago, this woman had been having wild sex with him in bed, and now she was acting crazy.
"Get out!"
The woman screamed at the top of her lungs for him to get out of the room!
After leaving the military in Afghanistan, Jack had taken a job as a personal bodyguard, and this woman was his first client.
Her name was Annie Simmons, head of a local real estate group, with golden hair and captivating emerald green eyes.
After kicking Jack out of the room, Annie furiously smashed everything in sight.
She cursed hysterically.
This had been her first time.
Last night, it had all happened because her damn assistant had spiked her drink.
She knew what this meant.
The family business was on the verge of bankruptcy and desperately needed a large sum of money to get through this crisis. For that, she had swallowed her pride and agreed to Thierry Henry's pursuit from Henry Group.
In a week, she would be officially engaged to Thierry.
But now she had spent a night with some nobody, her own bodyguard.
She rushed into the bathroom to wash off all the sweat, then broke down crying alone in the bathtub.
After pulling herself together, Annie picked up her phone to give that bitch of an assistant a piece of her mind, only to find the number wouldn't connect.
"With the family business in crisis, Thierry is the only one who can save me. He absolutely cannot find out about this."
Thierry was supposed to return this afternoon to discuss their wedding plans with her.
After what happened, she was already scared and didn't dare to go anymore.
Meanwhile, after being kicked out of the room, Jack immediately received a termination notice from the butler.
Furious, he shouted at the sky several times: "Fuck!"
Looking at the road ahead, he didn't know which way to go for a moment.
Because Annie had reached out to help him when he was at his lowest point years ago, he had stayed by her side protecting her all these years since leaving the military.
"I was homeless, and I owe these years to Ms. Simmons' care. I can't just leave like this."
Thinking of that hot, beautiful woman, Jack stopped in his tracks and turned back.
Annie's situation was pretty bad right now. Jack couldn't bring himself to leave her alone.
He returned to the front door of Annie's luxury villa and rang the doorbell.
Annie, who had just finished tidying everything up, opened the door and looked at the man in front of her: "Didn't I tell you to get lost? Why are you back?"
Jack took off his hat and bowed deeply to Annie.
"Ms. Simmons, I apologize to you. Yesterday I couldn't control myself and made a terrible mistake. I'm willing to take responsibility for this."
Annie looked at Jack with disgust.
"Take responsibility? How exactly do you plan to do that?"
Jack froze, stammering without knowing how to answer.
Annie said insincerely: "I was the one who started it last night. I just felt like having some fun with you. You don't actually think you can marry me because of a one-night stand, do you?"
Jack had followed Annie long enough to know what kind of woman she was.
She had once said she would save her first time for her future husband and only love one person in her life.
Finally, he gathered his courage and said:
"Yes, I want to marry you! I will take responsibility for you."
Annie laughed at him.
Although having Jack around gave her a sense of security, and no thug could withstand his punch, with the family facing a financial crisis, what good was being able to fight? The marriage was no longer hers to decide.
"Dream on."
Annie refused flatly and glared at Jack.
"Then can you not fire me? I still want to protect you."
Annie was surprised he would say that. She hadn't ordered Jack to be fired, just told him to get out of the room. But she quickly realized this was the assistant's doing again.
That horrible bitch was planning to get rid of everyone around her.
Jack was the bodyguard she had personally recruited, the most trustworthy person by her side. Last night, it was because he insisted on staying in the room that things turned out that way.
"Get in the car!"
Annie didn't give an answer but told him to get in the car.
"My fiancé is coming back today. You're coming with me to pick him up. If everything goes smoothly, I won't fire you!"
Jack nodded firmly, vowing to take this task seriously.
Then Annie added:
"The person we're meeting is my fiancé. He's coming to discuss our engagement ceremony with me. What happened between you and me last night was deliberately set up by someone to sabotage this meeting."
Hearing the word "fiancé," Jack's heart sank. He suddenly felt uncomfortable, saying sourly: "Maybe he's the one who set the whole thing up."
Annie rolled her eyes at Jack and said nothing more, pressing the gas pedal and speeding toward the airport.
Soon, the red Ferrari stopped outside the airport.
Today, quite a crowd had gathered outside the airport. The entrance and exit were blocked by numerous bodyguards, as if they were welcoming someone very important.
Jack got out first to open the car door for Annie, gesturing for her to step out.
As soon as she got out, a bodyguard-looking man immediately approached: "Excuse me, ma'am, someone from the Ellis family will be arriving at the airport by plane today. The entire airport has been temporarily sealed off. Please stay away."
"What are the Ellis family doing here!"
Hearing the family name, Jack's reaction was surprisingly strong.
Annie beside him turned pale. She quietly kicked Jack: "You fool, the Ellis family is one of the top ten elite families in the world, with royal bloodlines. Their power is beyond your imagination. They could crush us with a flick of their finger."
Hearing the name Ellis, Jack couldn't help but recall some past events, becoming lost in thought.
If this place was reserved by someone from the Ellis family, didn't that mean she might come too?
Since leaving Afghanistan and returning home after his military service, Jack didn't want to have any connection with his past, especially with that woman.
He didn't want to lose his peaceful life because of it.
He looked toward the airport exit.
The airport was so big—surely he wouldn't run into her, right?

The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

Broken but refusing to surrender, Aria leaves the only home she has ever known. But fate has a different plan waiting for her.
When she crosses paths with another powerful pack, Aria discovers a shocking truth: she has been given a second chance mate. The only problem? She never expected him to be someone who could change her entire destiny.
With a new bond awakening hidden powers within her, Aria is no longer the weak wolf everyone looked down on.
Now she has the chance to make those who hurt her pay.
But when Kael realizes the woman he rejected has become the one person he cannot lose, he wants her back.

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
