Summary

Thalassa had spent her life slipping through the cracks, always on the move, always in hiding. It was the cost of her freedom, a steep price she paid simply for existing as a lowly human. Born into a family that discarded her without a second thought, her childhood was defined by solitude and survival. But the same people who abandoned her saw her differently once they realized her body held a price. To them, she was nothing more than a commodity, a slave to be traded for profit. That revelation spurred her to flee—to fight for the fragile hope of a normal life. She refused to be a prisoner to anyone’s greed. Yet, in the midst of her struggle, when her path seemed endlessly bleak, she stumbled upon someone unexpected. Someone who didn’t see her as a possession or a burden, but as something extraordinary. They became her shield, offering her safety and a future she had never dared to imagine. For the first time, Thalassa was not invisible but treasured—irreplaceable in someone’s world.

    Aria loves her Master Darius. The Alpha Werewolf makes sure she wants for nothing and is always ready to do whatever it takes to make her happy. Except let her out of the house. What she doesn't know is that her Master Darius wants her to the point of obsession, wants her entire world to revolve around him and he would go through any length to keep it that way. What he didn't count on is for his twin brother to break into his home and take her.
     
    ~~~~~ Excerpt ~~~~~
     
    "Do you know why some vampires prefer human blood, Kristy?"
     
    "We're delicious?" she answers faintly. She feels lightheaded already. She definitely shouldn't have climbed into the car, no matter how intimidating Peter looks.
     
    He makes an appreciative sound, like he's thinking about it already and she should really stop giving him ideas about eating her. "Yes, and your blood isn't mixed with whichever animal Shifters are half of. Shifter blood tastes and smells like animal blood, you see. Vampire blood tastes stale and recycled. Yours, however, is completely untainted. Completely perfect. Just like you, Kristy."
     
    She laughs, a little hysterical, hoping the little noise would ease the tension in the car. "Why am I here, Mr. Peter?"
     
    He sits back and leans his head, eyes closing. Ironically, the sudden absence of his intense scrutiny on her body makes her feel more tense. "Have you thought about our proposition, Ms. Kristin?" he asks.
     
    She thinks proposition is the right word. He doesn't want just her blood. He wants her body and soul too. She nods. "I don't- If it's about the money, I'll find another job. I'll keep working. You don't have to worry about that. I'll- I'll pay you back."
     
    He chuckles. "You can work everyday for the rest of your life and you still wouldn't be able to pay me back everything I'm owed, little one," he says and reaches into the side pocket by the door of the car, retrieving a stack of papers and then putting them in her lap. "Sign these," he says, dropping the pen on top. "From today onwards, you belong to me."
     
    Deep down, she had known this was coming from the day she agreed to take his money. Right now, she's wishing she hadn't signed away her rights so easily, wishes she had looked for alternatives.
     
    It's hard to focus her eyes with the nerves eating away inside her, gnawing uncomfortably under her skin with every inhale. "Should- shouldn’t I read these?" she asks, flipping through the pages without reading anything because her eyes are burning with unshed tears and she's panicking inside, heartbeat going erratic, cold sweat forming on her forehead and fingers trembling so hard that the papers shake in her hands. She has to grip it tighter. Even the paper it's printed on feels expensive.
     
    "You could," he says. "But you have to sign them afterwards anyways. You're already behind on payment and you don't want to know what happens to people who don't pay me back, love."
     
    She is a little bit curious about what would happen to people who don't pay him back, but she also doesn't want to risk a demonstration. Things like 'complete surrender of basic rights'.

    Constance Chatterley lives trapped in a marriage defined by emotional distance and her husband's physical disability, an aristocrat left paralyzed after the war. In rigid postwar England, where class divisions seem insurmountable and female desire has scarcely any voice, Connie begins a clandestine affair with the estate's gamekeeper. What starts as an impulsive encounter becomes a transformative experience in which the body, nature, and passion challenge the social norms and moral barriers of their time.
    
    In Lady Chatterley's Lover, D. H. Lawrence crafts one of the most controversial and groundbreaking novels of the twentieth century. Beyond the scandal that surrounded its publication, the work offers a profound reflection on industrial alienation, the split between mind and body, and the search for lost emotional authenticity.
