But when she unexpectedly crosses paths with her late CEO son who is stunningly attractive and her new travel companion, her world turns upside down. Join them on a journey of self-discovery, adventure, and the possibility of love. Will Halsey's walls come down, or will she continue to resist the allure of romance?

Chapter 1 My Lifestyle

°Halsey°

As the sun rises, I grab my favorite mug and sip on a steaming cup of coffee that was made in my office, while I prepare for whatever awaits me through out today.

You might be wondering why I'm having my early morning coffee in my office.

The role of a general manager and CEO was been played by me ever since Mr. Dawkins, the president and CEO of this company passed on. It's been a tough experience for everyone who knew him including I.

Throughout the day, I found myself engaged in conversations with my lower staffs, brainstorming innovative strategies which made me have less time for myself. Although I do the most in that aspect.

Resuming work before my colleagues was my top priority as promised to late Dawkins on his death bed, it's my ritual to inspect every administration office and HR office in order to detect hidden documents, damages or record of spoiled goods we produce.

Amidst the hustle and bustle, I make sure to stay connected with my loved ones as much as I can but go ghost mode in terms of relationship topics my mother always managed to bring up during video calls. It is not worth the struggle of planning at this stage in my life. This thought alone was what made my mum fear me the most and reject most expensive gifts I give to her as she expects it from her imaginary son in-law. "Halsey, you can't carry your father name for long till you age" she would always say to me when I explained to her why I have not showed her to 'my man'.

As the day winds down, I tie up loose ends, reflecting on the achievements and challenges of the day. But it's not just about work; it's about finding balance. So, before I head home at a very inhumane time, I make sure there are no files left hanging for the day and remind myself of another hectic day at work.

FYI: this is just the beginning okay? Relax and I don't mind new ideas in the comment section but I want no negative people aight? (⁠^⁠_⁠^⁠メ⁠) love y'all!!

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?
