Ever since I was a child, I had always been poor. Every time I came home from school, I would be met with the sight of my father busying himself in the kitchen. From my earliest recollection, I would always remember my father wearing his old factory uniforms in the house. His hair was snow-white and he had very dark skin. He would usually smoke cheap cigarettes and the car he drove around was a Santana which was a real wreck. Despite all our hardships, my father threw himself into his work for 18 years and raised me to his best abilities, and I ended up not disappointing him as I managed to get into a very good university. Because I came from poverty, I had to work a part-time job in order to pay the high tuition fees. I knew my classmates must've looked down on me because I was so poor, but I did my best to not let that bother me. On the day of my 18th birthday, my father announced that he was going to give me a birthday present and that he would bring it to me in person. That day I saw my father in a new light. My father's coarse snow-white head had turned shiny black. He had replaced his tattered clothes with expensive Givenchy suits, and he even wore a Patek Philippe watch around his wrist. The old Santana was now a limited edition Rolls Royce. I stared at my father with bewildered eyes and asked him in an incredulous voice, "Dad, is our family really the richest in the world right now?" My father took out a Mayan Sicars cigar worth $500,000, lit it, and blew out a smoke ring. "Son, I know you've suffered a lot for the past 18 years, and I feel ashamed that I couldn't have provided more for you. I want you to take this ten million as pocket money first. You can ask me for more later if it's not enough!"

Chapter 1 Swallowing His Pride To Borrow Money

"Garry, You can go now. I don't have any money to lend you and I don't want to see your face ever again."

Shelly's eyes were full of scorn.

Garry Smith lowered his gaze to the ground, his eyes full of grief and helplessness.

Shelly Brooks was his first love.

They attended the same university.

"You always do this. Every time you make a mistake, you come to me for money. What do you think I am? Your wallet?"

"No, you must listen to me. This time..."

"I've had enough!"

Shelly couldn't bear to listen to his explanation and interrupted him immediately.

She turned on her heels, made her way into her family's restaurant, and slammed the door behind her.

A cold voice could be heard from beyond the closed door.

"Garry, Can't you just go to work and make money on your own? Piece of crap!"

Garry let out a heavy sigh and headed in the direction of his school.

Garry was born into a poor family.

His parent could only give him a bit of pocket change once every month.

While in the dormitory, Garry accidentally broke a roommate's Nintendo Switch, which nearly six hundred dollars.

The classmate wanted him to pay for the damage within the week.

"Garry, one week has already gone by. I want you to pay me back now!"

"I'm so sorry, Larson. Can you please give me some more time? I don't have any money right now."

"Really? Why don't you ask your family for it if you don't have the money on you? Are you an orphan or something?"

Larson's voice was oozing with sarcasm.

"If both your parents are dead, I can think about giving you some more time."

Garry's face reddened out of anger.

"Let me make myself clear to you. I don't like having my things damaged by others, especially by the likes of you, a poor person!"

Larson sneered and lifted a foot to give Garry a hard kick.

Garry was filled with anger and grievance, but he couldn't do anything to Larson who was stronger than him.

With staggering steps, he walked out of the dormitory.

As he was walking on the busy street, he felt very aggrieved and confused.

He had no idea what he had done wrong.

Why was Larson treating him so viciously?

"Just because I don't come from a rich family?"

'If my family has money, will Shelly and Larson treat me differently?'

Suddenly A Rolls-Royce car came to a stop right in front of him.

The door opened and out came a figure he did not expect at all.

"Dad? Is that you?"

Garry stared at the middle-aged man with surprise and disbelief in his eyes.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
