Our Contract Engagement Ends Soon

ObsidianOrbs
The life of a manager is never easy, especially if the artists you are managing have a knack for getting into trouble with the media. Adding an unwanted husband to this mixture would surely bring nothing but chaos into her already hectic life Therefore, Demi, a pragmatic young lady, knew that rather than crying over her problems, it was better to find a quick solution. When a sudden marriage proposal landed on her lap, she knew that she had to do her best to avoid finding herself in a troublesome situation. Thankfully, the man chosen by the elders seemed to disagree with these arrangements just as much as she did. Contract marriages were quite common in their social circles so when Demi proposed a contract engagement instead, the man readily agreed. For two years now, they had pretended to be a loving pair while meeting their relatives yet could not stand each other when they were alone. The perfect couple aura around them was nothing but a calculated move, an act to please them. Now as the end of the contract comes closer, Demi was worried how her elders would react. Will they accept that her engagement was nothing but a sham? Will she be able to cope with the guilt that she had tricked her favorite elder? However, more than these thoughts, what worried her the most was the unexpected change in the man's behavior towards her and their engagement. "What if I say this engagement cannot end this way?" The man who had cornered her, whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her sensitive spine. Unsure of how to respond, Demi could only look into those dark eyes which were now staring right back at her. Why did he seem so reluctant to put an end to this pretense when he was the one who had personally drafted their contract in the first place? Will Demi be able to peacefully break off this engagement when the contract ends? Or will that man hold onto her so that she never escapes his clutches? NOTICE: This is a trial book!!!

Wolf Princess Sold to the Dragon King

"Take me instead." Three words. Guinevere Lunaris trades herself and saves 300 lives. Tied. Gagged. Underestimated by a mile. They chain her to a tree in the snow. Mistake. While running for her life, she meets a stranger in the dark and tells him to hide so he isn’t killed. Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown. The man she just told to hide in a hole is Maddox Drakencrest, High King of Velkaris. Ruler of an entire continent. Maddox hears his dragon say ‘mate’ right away. But her wolf is silent. More and more Alpha Kings enter the hall. She catches the tail end of her father’s toast and chokes on her wine. "—leave here with a virgin bride." An auction for her hand turns into a full-out bidding war. Maddox wins. 750 million in gold, three dragon fleets, and an urn full of the bastard who chained her the day before. Every force in Velkaris is betting against a wolf on a dragon throne. The Elders say the queen must be a dragon rider, which is impossible for a woman without dragon blood. The king's half-brother agrees with them, but his solution is a civil war and taking the crown for himself. If his brother’s rebellion wins, Maddox dies and she belongs to him. If the elders win, she goes back to the father who sold her. Neither is happening. Her wolf calls Velkaris home. She's not giving it up. They expect Guinevere to behave like a good little wolf princess and play along with their political games. She says bet.
