Everyone believed that Leyla, inheriting a slyness from her aunt, adeptly drew in married men while presenting an innocent front. Unexpectedly, she became the infamous playboy Colton's wife after just one intense encounter, causing many to speculate about the motives behind their rushed marriage. Initially perceived as a mere transaction, the nature of their relationship took a turn at a party where an emotional Colton grabbed Leyla's wrist and, with a voice laced with raw vulnerability, asked, "Can you love me a bit more?" It was then she realized the truth-he had been pulling the strings of their relationship from the very beginning.

Chapter 1 Wanna Do It

"Wanna do it?" Leyla Stanley asked, wrapping one leg around the man's waist.

Leyla was leaning against a door as she spoke.

A corridor separated the two of them from the lively banquet hall next door.

In that hall, Leyla's ex-boyfriend was celebrating his engagement with his new partner.

The man heard her clearly and emotion flashed in his narrowed eyes.

He gripped Leyla's waist, seized one of her wrists, and threw her onto the soft bed.

Then he leaned over her with his head lowered. His voice was thick with seduction. "Yes."

Leyla's long hair lay sprawled across the pillow. She leaned in and pressed her rosy lips against his.

The sweet scent of her perfume mixed with the deep aroma of wine, filling the room.

His breath caught in his throat. He held her chin with one hand and his voice grew low and tempting. "Leyla, open your eyes and look carefully... Who am I?"

Wait a minute... Who exactly was he?

The tipsy Leyla blinked her eyes open.

The man was incredibly handsome. His long lashes framed striking eyes, and he had a strong nose and refined features.

What a devilish charmer.

Leyla moved closer, her breath warm against him.

Wrapping her slightly cool arms around his neck, she leaned in and whispered in his ear.

"You are..." Her voice was seductive. "Colton."

He was indeed Colton Quinn.

He was the infamous playboy of Valston, known for his reckless ways. He was a romance expert who never let himself get too attached to any woman.

Colton was also the head of the influential Quinn family.

Colton hesitated for a moment.

Then he kissed her passionately, and the kiss seemed to last forever.

The next morning, Leyla woke up from a nightmare.

Her head was pounding, and she buried her face in the blanket.

What Theo Higgins, her ex-boyfriend, had said last night at the engagement party echoed in her mind, haunting her dreams.

"Leyla is just as loose as Rachael. It was only a fling. I would never marry someone like her."

And just like that, Theo had gotten engaged to someone else.

After the Stanley family had faced tragedy, Leyla had become an orphan and went to live with her aunt, Rachael Yates.

Rachael had married into the Higgins family, so Leyla had moved in with the family.

Over the years, Theo had pursued her without giving up.

Rachael encouraged her to accept him; after all, he treated her kindly.

Feeling a bit moved, Leyla had said yes to Theo's courtship, even though she didn't love him.

In Theo's eyes, she had become loose.

The mocking laughter from the crowd last night still echoed in her mind.

A wave of bitterness washed over her, making it hard to catch her breath.

She forced out a bitter smile.

Tears flowed down her cheeks.

Suddenly, the edge of the blanket was lifted, bringing in a rush of fresh air. A relaxed voice reached her ears.

"Miss Stanley."

Leyla looked up quickly and found a handsome face looking back at her.

His long lashes framed his eyes, and a small mole rested at the corner.

Colton?

Noticing her surprise, Colton spoke in a rough voice, a teasing tone lacing his words. "With that expression, it's as if you you've forgotten what happened last night."

He gently brushed a stray hair from her cheek.

His fingers were slightly cool against her skin, causing her to shiver.

When she noticed the suggestive marks on his neck, her expression changed, and she felt herself blush.

Colton was known as the most carefree playboy in the Quinn family.

And he was... Theo's cousin.

In a moment of reckless abandon fueled by alcohol, she had slept with him.

She frowned slightly, her long hair cascading loosely over her pale shoulders.

Her eyes, which had sparkled with allure last night, were now clear and cold. No longer drunk, she seemed completely indifferent and distant.

To her, sex was just a casual affair.

She wanted nothing to do with Theo.

"Let's just pretend last night never happened, Mr. Quinn." Her tone was cool.

Colton's eyes sparkled with amusement. A carefree smile spread across his face as he suddenly grabbed her chin, compelling her to meet his gaze.

Werewolf

She was hurt. She was bullied and made fun of. And the only hope that kept her going was finding her mate. She has always been weak. Weak to the world. Why? Because she was a lantern. She didn't have a wolf. That's what everyone thought about her. When she found her mate, he wanted her to be his slut and not a wife. She might be an omega, but it doesn't mean she will take disloyalty and betrayal lightly. So she did something that no one in history ever did. She rejected an Alpha. "I, Alexis Clark, reject Brandon Sterling, the alpha of Black mist pack, and consider myself a free soul until I decide so."; Were her last words before she left that torturous place and became a rogue. A rogue that everyone was fearing and finding. Why? Because she was the rogue that has become one of the biggest problems of almost all the packs in the country. She was Alexis Clark. A rogue that rejected an Alpha, stealth food, kill other rogues, and more than that was living with humans and studying with them. What will happen when her case is given to the world's most dangerous alpha, Sebastian Sinclair, who has taken it upon himself to punish this rogue. The one who hated rogues and omega to a level that was beyond understanding. Why? Because his mate was an omega, who betrayed him with a rogue before dying. How will Alexis tackle this alpha, in whose College she was studying and living under hiding for almost a year? What will Sebastian do when he finds out the new girl he had been talking to is none other than the rogue omega that he had decided to kill? "To love you with all my might was my only wish, but you were the only one who gave me endless suffering. So today, I promise myself to not fall for anyone."; A simple saying that both Alexis and Sebastian had vowed upon. Will they be able to find their love amidst all these problems?
