Chapter 1 Happily ever after

Growing up, my life was filled with love and happiness. I could say I was the happiest kid on the planet. I had everything I wanted and was given the best life anyone could ever imagine.

My name is Kim Ji-an, I'm 18 years old and from South Korea, although I was born in California, USA. My parents met in college. My dad graduated from medical school and became a respected doctor, working for one of the largest hospitals in California. My mom also graduated and became a nurse. A few years later, they got married and had me.

I grew up surrounded by love from both of my parents, and my dream was always to become an artist. I lived the kind of life people only dream of, we had the nicest house in the best neighborhood. I went to a private school, wore the best clothes, and ate the finest foods.

I also had a best friend named Kang Tae hwan. We went to the same school and lived in the same neighborhood. His family, like mine, was Korean, so our families were really close. His dream was to become a singer, and he was an amazing dancer. He taught me how to dance and sing, and we did almost everything together. Life was perfect, and I was genuinely happy. That is, until my 10th birthday.

I still remember that day as if it happened yesterday. It was my 10th birthday, and my mom came home early from work to set everything up for my party. We invited friends and neighbors, and of course, my best friend was there. My dad was running late, and then, out of nowhere, a heavy rainstorm hit. Despite the weather, my mom insisted on going ahead with the party, but I still wanted my dad to be there. He had never missed one of my birthday parties. So, I called him, asking him to hurry up. He said he was with a patient, but he was on his way home.

We all waited eagerly for him to arrive. But just minutes after I hung up with my dad, my mom received a call from the hospital that my dad had been in an accident and he didn't make it.

In an instant, my entire world came crashing down. My mom collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital and she was confirmed to be three weeks pregnant.

It felt like everything I knew was lost in the blink of an eye.

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?
