Introduction

Being tricked by her vicious sister, Victoria Collins saved a mysterious man. The next day , she was forced to marry an ugly cripple for her younger sister.
Unexpectedly, the rumored ugly man turned out to be handsome and noble and was the one Victoria saved. However, he offered to use hundreds of billions of dollars in exchange for her divorce after a hundred days. A hundred days later, Victoria filed for divorce. After she left, Edmund Haines realized that he loved her deeply. He chased her and pushed her against the wall. "Honey, how dare you escape after secretly giving birth to my child?"
Divorce was easy, but remarriage was difficult. From then on, Edmund started to work hard to chase his wife.

Chapter 1

"Victoria, I prepared a birthday gift for you. Enjoy it."

Seeing Xenia Collins standing by the bed laughing wantonly, Victoria Collins couldn't resist at all.

She didn't know what Xenia had added to her drink. At this moment, although she was awake, she couldn't speak or move.

She could only lie motionlessly on the bed.

When Xenia left, she turned off the light, and the room was dark.

"Boom!"

After a long time, the door was opened.

Victoria felt a cold breath attacking her.

"Help me, and I will repay you."

The man's voice was deep and hoarse as if from another world.

Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, his tall figure staggered to the bedside.

At this moment, Victoria seemed to have stopped breathing.

"Help me."

In the darkness, Victoria couldn't see the man's face but only saw his eyes, which revealed a deep coldness and nobility.

Victoria didn't know what happened, and she passed out.

The next morning.

A middle-aged woman in a formal suit walked to the Bugatti on the side of the road and carefully knocked on the car door.

After getting permission, the woman gently opened the car door and got into the car.

She said respectfully, "Lord Hahn, I have found out that the girl who saved you last night is Xenia Collins, the second daughter of the Collins family."

"Are you sure?"

The voice of Lord Hahn was cold and clear, but it was magnetic.

"Yes, Miss Collins is wearing the Dragon Ring that you lost last night. I asked her, and she admitted that she saved you."

The light in the car was thin, and the man's face was not clear. He had a pair of sharp cold eyes with a noble aura. He said, "Arrange someone to the Collins family to propose marriage. I want to marry her."

The usually calm woman showed obvious shock on her face as she said, "Lord Hahn, there are many ways to repay her. Besides, you couldn't help yourself last night. Your status is high, and you should think twice about your marriage..."

Facing the man's warning eyes, the woman hurriedly ended the topic.

She said regretfully, "I will do it now."

When Victoria woke up, it was the afternoon of the second day.

She was no longer in the hotel but was thrown into the flower pond by the roadside, and her clothes were in a mess.

Lifting off her clothes, she saw bruises all over her body, and she felt pain from every pore in her body.

Victoria couldn't help but shed tears.

She never imagined that she would lose her virginity on her twentieth birthday.

When Victoria came to Beachside Villa, Xenia and Lacey Collins were sitting on the sofa in the living room. They were wiping tears while talking.

Xenia was the person who plotted against Victoria yesterday, and she was also Victoria's half-sister.

Lacey was Victoria's stepmother.

"Mom, look!"

"Victoria, you're back!" Lacey's eyes were full of worry a second ago, but at this moment, her face showed joy.

"Why are you back now? I've been calling you all day, why didn't you answer?"

Victoria rolled her eyes at Lacey. She picked up the vase on the windowsill and threw it at Xenia's face.

However, it missed.

The vase hit Xenia's chest heavily, and then it bounced to the ground and shattered.

Even so, Xenia still gritted her teeth in pain and looked maliciously. "Are you crazy?"

"You are crazy! You know what you have done. I will destroy your hypocritical face today and avenge myself!" Victoria became furious after losing her virginity. She picked up a knife and rushed towards Xenia.

Victoria had had enough of it.

For fourteen years, Victoria had been abused and lived an inhuman life in this family. She had always been bullied and teased by Xenia. Today, Victoria wanted to seek justice for herself.

"Stop!"

A roar came suddenly.

A fat middle-aged man strode up to Victoria.

He was so eager to protect Xenia that he grabbed Victoria by the hair and threw her down.

The man used all his strength, and Victoria lay heavily on the ground, with blood streaming from her nose.

Victoria couldn't get up for a while. She saw that the person beating her was her father, Edward Collins.

"Victoria, what are you doing? Xenia just played a prank on you, but you fought her like a shrew. You are too mean."

Edward angrily stared at Victoria, whose face was covered in blood, and showed disgust in his eyes.

"It's just a prank?"

Victoria was in pain, but at this moment, she laughed ironically.

"If Xenia and I switched identities, and tricked her like she did to me last night, you wouldn't just say it is a prank, but would hang me up and whip me, right?"

"You..."

Edward was speechless for a while.

Xenia took the opportunity to kick Victoria's back forcefully.

Victoria, who was propped on the ground with her hands and hadn't gotten up yet, fell heavily on the ground again. She spat a mouthful of blood from her mouth, and her back hurt.

Victoria bit her lips tightly, not letting herself shed a single tear.

Edward was Victoria's biological father.

When Victoria was young, Edward was very kind to Victoria.

Fourteen years ago, Lacey drove Victoria's mother crazy. Lacey had an affair with Edward, and she came to this house with their daughter Xenia. After that, Edward seemed to be a different person.

Edward treated Lacey and Xenia kindly, but he always maltreated Victoria. Victoria often suffered from domestic violence.

From then on, Victoria's biological father was dead in her heart.

She never shed a tear in front of Edward again.

"You are both my daughters, but why are you so annoying?" Edward was still aggressive.

Lacey stood in front of Edward.

"Edward, you know that Victoria has been rebellious all the time. Calm down and stop beating her. If you beat her to death, who will replace Xenia to marry into the Haines family?"

As if a pot of cold water had been poured over her head, Victoria was deeply shocked.

"This morning, the Haines family proposed a marriage, asking Xenia to marry Mr. Haines. Your father and I tried our best to convince the Haines family to let you replace Xenia."

Looking down at Victoria from a high position, Lacey had a smile.

"You know that the Haines family is a powerful family in Seaside City, so this is a good marriage. You and Mr. Haines will get married in six days."

Victoria immediately understood.

Lacey wished Victoria could disappear from this world. In the past, even if Victoria lost contact for a month, Lacey would never have called her.

Today, after Victoria woke up in the flower pond, there were more than a dozen missed calls from Lacey on her phone.

Lacey contacted her to let her replace Xenia and marry someone.

Everyone in Seaside City knew that Mr. Haines was a cripple who was terminally ill and would die at any time.

Lacey and Edward wanted to use Victoria to curry favor with the Haines family.

I never applied to the Academy for Magical Beings and Creatures.

Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself.

The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.

Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.

Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.

Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.

"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood 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 me—he 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 surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but 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 precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and 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 pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
