Arielle Hayes is a talented journalist with a sharp mind, a stubborn sense of justice, and a paycheck that never matches her worth. When she's assigned to cover a glamorous gala, she doesn't expect to meet Lucien Blackwood - a powerful billionaire surrounded by rumors, secrets, and dangerous success. He's charming, controlled, and hiding something the world isn't meant to see. As Arielle digs deeper into his empire, the line between truth and attraction begins to blur. But in a city where power protects its own, chasing the truth could cost her career, her safety... and her heart. Because some stories change the world. And some stories destroy the people who tell them.

They said the war was over. They lied. We aren't heroes. We aren't a team. We are Unit 069 - five prodigies from different worlds shoved into one cross-wing experiment. The drills are brutal. The instructors are worse. And every morning, someone reminds us that failure isn't just a grade... it's survival. I didn't choose this. None of us did. But the Academy doesn't care. They only care about results. And if we're lucky, we'll leave alive. If not... we'll become the cautionary tale hidden in the ventilation shafts.

Trust is a luxury. Betrayal is a requirement. $30 million is the prize. ""50,000 applied. 100 were chosen. Only one will leave with $30 million." ​The message appeared on the giant screen above the room, glowing in cold white letters. A hundred contestants stood below it, silent. ​Some looked excited. Some looked terrified. Some were already studying everyone around them like predators waiting for the hunt to begin. ​Cameras were everywhere. Hidden in the corners. Embedded in the walls. Watching. Recording. Judging. ​A voice echoed through the massive hall, calm and controlled. ​"Welcome... to Final Selection." ​The contestants exchanged glances. No one knew who was speaking. No one knew where the voice came from. But everyone knew one thing: someone was watching. Someone powerful. Someone rich enough to offer thirty million dollars to a complete stranger. ​The voice continued. "You were chosen from fifty thousand applicants around the world. Only the most interesting candidates were selected." ​A pause. ​"You are now the final one hundred." ​A nervous laugh escaped from somewhere in the crowd. Someone else swallowed hard. Because suddenly the prize didn't feel exciting anymore. It felt dangerous. ​"Over the next weeks," the voice continued, "you will compete in a series of challenges." ​The screen behind them changed. Numbers began counting down. ​100. 90. 50. ​The voice finished its sentence. "Each round, contestants will be eliminated." ​The number on the screen dropped again. ​1. ​A ripple of unease spread through the room. ​"Trust is optional." "Betrayal is expected." ​And then the voice said the one thing that made the room fall completely silent. ​"Only one of you will leave with the $30 million." ​The doors behind them slammed shut. Locked. ​The game had begun......

"Being invisible was my plan... until he claimed me." In Lunar Crest Academy, power isn't given-it's claimed. I thought I could stay invisible, slipping through the halls unnoticed, relying on my scholarship and careful ways. I was wrong. He found me. Marcus Kane. Alpha. Dominant. Feared. Magnetic. From the moment his gaze locked on me, nothing felt safe-or normal-again. Every heartbeat, every shiver, every instinct I tried to hide... he could see it. And he claimed it. One night. One slip of paper. One impossible pull I couldn't resist. I should have run. I didn't. At Lunar Crest, some marks aren't given... they're taken. And from the moment he called me "mine," I realized I didn't want to escape. Will I survive being marked by the Alpha-or will I succumb to what he's awakened inside me?
