Onions_and_Cheese
It wasn’t a beautiful day at Ackashic Senior High, ASH for short, yet a warm sense of happiness lingered in the air. It was graduation day. And yet… Saitou felt tired. Tired of routine. Tired of a life that moved in circles. He wanted something different, something that would tear him away from this monotonous life. That wish was granted one quiet afternoon, while he was casually talking with his best friend. “When is he going to depart?” “Tomorrow.” A cold voice answered from the other side. Saitou wasn’t your typical teenager. He was a young, cold-hearted, egoistic, gun for hire. The next day, he departed for Great Britain, entrusted with a mission: to protect it. But as time passed, doubt crept in. Was that truly his mission? Or merely a mask, concealing something far "greater"?

Dark bargain: The Wolf's Bride

DARK BARGAIN The Wolf’s Bride Her father sells Rose to a monster. The beast calls her bride—then bows as if she is royalty and whispers, “Found you." At sixteen, Rose is traded to Prince Lucien to save her dying sister, the one person she cannot bear to lose. Hidden in an ancient forest, Lucien’s mansion holds a vanished bride, a locked west wing, and a silver collar restraining something monstrous. By night, Lucien becomes a black wolf. Beautiful, cold, impossibly old, and somehow familiar with Rose’s name, he claims to protect her while watching her like prey. He offers tenderness with one hand and tightens the leash with the other, insisting he wants only what was promised—though every glance suggests he has awaited Rose long before she was born. As their dangerous attraction grows, Rose uncovers a buried bargain, a blood curse, and a ritual planned for the next full moon. Lucien says it will save them both, but refuses to name the price. Her blood may free him, yet kill her—and leave her sister without the cure Rose was promised. Someone is lying. Perhaps Lucien is telling the truth in the most dangerous way possible: giving Rose just enough of it to make surrender feel like her own idea. Before the altar claims her, Rose must learn why she was chosen and decide whether saving her sister is worth surrendering her freedom, her future, and the part of herself Lucien is awakening. He may want her heart, her blood, or both—and the more fiercely he tempts her to trust him, the less certain she becomes that his desire is a weakness she can use. She must choose whom to betray, and whether the monster she fears is the only one who has ever offered her a choice. Some bargains are inherited. The most dangerous are made before you’re born.
