Anna's POV

My gut feeling came true about us not getting along, when Janet opened her mouth and the first words that came out of her mouth were, "So she's the damsel in distress that you saved, Sir?"I sucked in a breath and a pang of hurt hit me deep into my heart, but I did not have the right to be upset when what she said was true.

However, she must not be the one who should be saying that since she was not the one who saved me.

I asked my pain and met Alex's eyes.

He saw my face then glanced at Janet.

"Language. Janet. This is not your personal dormitory. So please be professional." He snapped at Janet.

Disagreeing with her behaviour. His voice came out tight and stiff.

Janet almost rolled her eyes. She jerked her head at me.

"You are going to work under me. Alongside with other interns." She told me. She handed Janet the file that she entered inside the room with and gave my dress a glance over.

"I'm going to show her around." She told him.

"Okay." He said and turned to look at me.

"She will be your head and you will work under her. If you have any problem then you can talk to her. Have a great first day at work." He told me.

He was so polite. It was hard to believe. I was so grateful that people like him existed.

I gave him a small but professional smile

"Thank you, Sir." I replied. He gave a nod and immersed himself in his work.

"I'll lead the way." Janet muttered, like she was bored of our pleasantries.

With that, she turned on her heels and headed out of the room, with me following after her.

My stomach was churning because I was really nervous. Maybe, it was because I never worked in a job like this. Especially with a company, who had such a big name in the market.

My nervousness only increased when Janet led me to one of the biggest rooms where many people were working.

Honestly, at that point I felt like pooping.

Everyone seemed older than me and it did not help that none of them looked friendly.

I swallowed hard.

It did not look good.

Janet clapped her hands twice to draw everybody's attention to herself. Everyone stopped doing what they were doing and gave her the attention she asked for.

"Everyone, listen here. This is Anna. She is a new intern and will work here from now on. Treat her nicely." She announced. The whole crowd listened and nodded their heads to Janet. I could tell it by the looks of these people that they respected Janet.

Or was it fear?

In any case, I should maintain my distance from her and stay out of her way. Messing with her could mean trouble. And I had enough of getting in trouble.

With Janet's last words, all of them got back to what they were doing and resumed their work leaving both of us alone.

"So how much did you learn in your college?" She asked me directly. Her voice completely tone less. Her straight forwardness was a bit too much for me to take. Especially on the first day of work.

"I ... My work ..." I cleared my throat.

"I've done fitting,measurements and stuff. I have done Pattern Making & Garment Construction." I told her. I stumbled in my words a little before I got the words out. She gave me a passive look and pointed to the one section of the collection of dresses.

"I can't give you anyserious work without the supervision of a senior. Therefore, go to that section of loose fitted dresses and adjust them accordingly. If you find it difficult, feel free to ask any of the employees or me, for that matter. However, since I am leaving, you have to ask the employees."

"I will be back to check on you soon." She told me before gesturing for me to go on. It was a bit surprising for me, because our interaction went way better than I thought it would. She spun around and left me alone with a bunch of strangers.

I closed my eyes and brought myself together.

'You can do this. You were one of the brightest students in the class. You could go through this. You will try your best and you will learn.'

I gave myself a pep talk and got to work.While I worked, nobody paid me any attention.

It was like I was not even there or more like I was one of them. It seemed pretty different then the time when, not so long ago, I was introduced to all of them. When their all-collective attention was on me.

It did not matter though I was actually glad that I did not get any special attention since I had a serious doubt that I could handle that.

I got to work.

I kept on working and working and working. Until I lost track of time. But my work came to a halt when I realised that I was stuck in a problem.

One specific difficult dress fitting. I found it difficult.

This was what I was dreading to face.

I glanced around me to catch a glimpse of Janet but could not find her anywhere.

How was I supposed to go on if I could not find somebody to help me with it?

I almost gave up my hope, and I was thinking of finally asking someone for help when my eyes met a cute guy. He gave me a smile and raised his eyebrows, as if asking what was wrong.

I pointed at my work and he walked over to help me with it.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi." I replied to him politely. He looked around at the dress that I was working on.

"So what's the problem?" He questioned.

I told him that I was finding it hard to fit this material on this dress.

"Let me take a look." He said and helped me with the fitting, telling me how to do it properly. He literally solved my problem in minutes. I was really grateful for his help.

"Thank you." I told him and gave him one of my big smiles. His smile turned into a flirty one and he reached out and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"You know, you're really pretty." He said to me. His voice sounded a bit rough.

I almost recoiled from his sentence but controlled myself from doing so. He had helped me a few seconds ago, after all.

The least I could do was to not reject him blatantly.

I gave him a small but Professional smile before taking a step back. He noticed the action but did not comment on it.

"I really need to get to work. This is my first day and I don't want to mess things up." I told him. My message was clear that I did not want his attention and wanted to get back to work.He glanced at my lips before smirking in an arrogant way.

"Sure. I will see you around." He said and went back to his place to work. From then on, I noticed him glancing my way from time to time, but I ignored him. Instead, I chose to focus on work.Few minutes later, I heard someone calling my name.

"Anna Ried. Who's Anna Ried?" An unknown voice called out to me.

My head was occupied with work hence I was not able to hear who was calling me.

My eyes searched for the source of the voice and came to settle on a person. By the look of his outfit, he looked like a receptionist.

I raised my hand to draw his attention to myself. He did. His eyes settled on me.

"I am Anna Ried." I told him. He jerked his head and subtly asked me to come outside. I did.

"Boss is calling you. Go to his office." He told me. Just as he told me, a loud beep sounded across the floor.

"It's lunch time. You should hurry, if you want to have time for lunch." He instructed me before the source of the voice and came to settle on a person. By the look of his outfit, he looked like a receptionist.

There was one problem with that question, I did not have any money for lunch. So I did not have to hurry.Anyway, I reached my boss's office and knocked on his door.

"Come in." He said. I did. I opened the door and walked inside. He was working on a file. Right after a few seconds, he closed it and looked at me.

"Get ready. We are going outside for lunch."

Continue to next part

I stood alone at the marble altar, the silence of the temple pressing against my eardrums. It was my Mating Ceremony, but the groom was missing. My phone buzzed with a notification: a livestream of my mate, Alpha Cain, skipping our union to welcome my sister, Eris, home. In the video, he held her like she was fragile glass, captioning it: "True power recognizes true power." When I returned to the Pack House, humiliated, I wasn't met with an apology. I was met with a slap from my mother. Eris, feigning a powerful "Alpha Aura," claimed my mere scent was poisoning her. To "save" her, my family locked me in my room. But the true betrayal came when I overheard their hushed whispers through the door. "Use Vera," my mother said, her voice chillingly practical. "She recovers fast. We can drain her blood weekly for Eris. She can stay as a servant to raise Cain and Eris's pups." My blood ran cold. They didn't just neglect me; they planned to harvest me like livestock. They thought I was the weak Omega they exiled to the North years ago to peel potatoes. They had no idea that in the North, I wasn't a servant. I was Commander V, a warrior forged in ice and blood. I reached under my bed and pulled out my black tactical duffel. "Screw the meatloaf," I whispered. I wasn't just leaving. I was going to war.

For three years, I played the part of a simple housewife for my husband, Cedric. I buried my true self-Eleanor Curry, heiress to a massive security firm-to be the quiet wife he claimed to love. Then a chemical plant exploded. In the chaos, Cedric shielded his teammate, Cassidy, and left me behind in a collapsing building. "Forget her," I heard him tell his men. "She' s useless. A dead weight." I survived, only for him to force me, while I was injured and feverish, to donate blood to Cassidy for her "severe" injuries. But then I overheard them laughing in the next room. Her injuries were a lie. It was all a "little lesson," he said, to teach me my place. As my own wound reopened and bled through my gown, I reached for the hidden device in my bag. "Falcon reporting." A gravelly voice answered instantly. "Welcome home, little bird. We've been waiting."

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

9.0

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

Reborn Queen: The Billionaire's Dangerous Asset

9.2

I died as the "Queen," an elite assassin who leveled criminal syndicates, only to wake up in a damp trailer smelling of rot and stale tobacco. My new body belonged to Arleen Brewer, a malnourished teenager with a failing heart and a life defined by systemic poverty. A flickering blue light in my mind identified itself as a System, offering a devil's bargain: survive this life, and I could resurrect my dead brother, Dusty. To earn his return, I had to endure my alcoholic stepfather’s rage and a body so weak it struggled to even stand. At my elite prep school, the rich kids treated me like a walking corpse, covering my desk in trash and mocking my heart condition. Even my fiancé, Shen Wenyu, publicly branded me as "unstable" and stood by while the school's golden boy tried to humiliate me. They expected me to wither away, but they didn't realize a wolf was now wearing the sheep's skin. I shattered the bully’s nose with a metal tray and tore up my engagement contract in front of a stunned auditorium, only to be met with immediate threats of lawsuits and expulsion. I didn't understand how the original Arleen survived this suffocating injustice without breaking, but as the Queen, I was ready to turn this school into a war zone. Then Hale Clemons, the most dangerous man in the city, cornered me outside the principal's office. He saw through my mask, realizing his very presence was the only thing keeping my failing heart from stopping. "I’m not buying your loyalty," he said, handing me a gold-embossed card. "I’m investing in a weapon." I took the deal, ready to use his power to bring my brother back and bury everyone who ever looked down on Arleen Brewer.

Blood Moon – Story Description Blood Moon is a dark, thrilling tale of forbidden attraction, supernatural rivalry, and the fine line between predator and prey. Set in the seemingly ordinary Silver Hollow College, the story unfolds in a world where vampires and werewolves secretly coexist alongside humans, each hiding their true powers while battling their own instincts, rival clans, and the pressures of legacy. In this shadowed world, every glance can hide a threat, every conversation can carry hidden meaning, and every full moon can unleash the beast within. At the heart of the story are Catrine Nella, a powerful young vampire, and Edwardo Zee, a disciplined yet conflicted werewolf. Catrine is sharp, cunning, and deadly, raised under the constant pressure of her ambitious step-sister who insists she feed on human blood to grow stronger. Catrine's natural talents in both magic and combat make her a force to be reckoned with, yet she struggles with morality, identity, and her own desire for control. Edwardo, on the other hand, is torn between his instincts as a wolf and the manipulations of his ruthless step-brother, who demands that he become a killer to claim alpha status. Edwardo wants to be a true alpha, not through bloodshed, but by protecting others and leading with honor-an ambition that sets him apart from his family and makes him both a target and a misfit among his kind. The story begins with a violent, electrifying encounter between Catrine and Edwardo in the forest during the full moon. Both are drawn by their own impulses-Catrine performing a vampire ritual, Edwardo struggling to control the wolf within-and the resulting clash is fierce, brutal, and unforgettable. This first meeting ignites a dangerous rivalry, with each recognizing the other's extraordinary abilities while also sensing something forbidden and magnetic between them. Though enemies by instinct and heritage, the connection they forge amidst conflict sets the stage for a tension-filled enemies-to-lovers narrative that drives the series forward. As the story unfolds, Silver Hollow College becomes a battlefield not just of physical strength but of intellect, cunning, and emotional power. Catrine and Edwardo test one another constantly-through subtle glances in class, tense encounters in crowded hallways, and increasingly dangerous confrontations in the forest. Each battle pushes them further, revealing vulnerabilities and strengths, and slowly transforms their relationship from animosity into fascination, grudging respect, and eventually, desire. Amidst this, both characters are confronted with the pressures of their families. Catrine's step-sister threatens her with weakness if she does not feed on human blood, while Edwardo's step-brother pressures him toward ruthless dominance, creating a constant tension that challenges their morality and tests the limits of their powers. At its core, Blood Moon is a story about choice and identity. It explores the struggle between instinct and conscience, power and restraint, hatred and attraction. It examines what it means to be strong-not just physically, but emotionally and morally-in a world where strength often comes at the cost of humanity. Through fast-paced action, supernatural intrigue, and the slow-burning, dangerous pull between Catrine and Edwardo, the story blends romance, suspense, and fantasy into a gripping narrative. It is a saga of blood and moonlight, of predators and secrets, of rivalry and passion, and of two young supernatural beings whose lives are forever intertwined by fate, desire, and the power of the Blood Moon.
