Being an adopted  twice was never easy for Nikki, she was grateful for the second time but is it enough to save her adopted parents from the embarrassment and be a substitute bride to the guy who hates her with so much passion.

******
My head is reeling. I look at my parents, they look confused too. I'd be too if I am in their shoes. They must be torn between saving their company or giving away the only man their daughter ever loved to another woman. 

I run my hands to my face. 

"What's the deal anyway?" I surrender. "Y'all said substitute bride. How hard can it be to stand in the altar in an hour or two?" I shrugged my shoulder. 

"Who says about just standing in the altar?" Alex lean on my ear. "Baby you have to fulfill whatever obligation that comes after the word bride." He said loud and clear enough for all the people in the room to hear.

Basilisk by SmlAlwaysOriginal
7 parts Complete Mature
He's just an Omega. Well he was just the second child, only boy, of the last Alpha Basilisk that lived. His father insisted on him having an arranged marriage, after all a link to the last Alpha would be a powerful thing. So he's dressed up, primped, polished and put on display for a Ball. His father hopes to find someone that will understand the complexity of the political ties. He was just hoping to find someone that he didn't get completely annoyed by. But then, things never go quite as planned. Love strikes but complications ensue. How does he find his happily ever after? Excerpt: "I told you to smile." My sister says poking me in the side. "Tell you what, let me pick your husband and I'll smile all you want." I snap at her. "Dad, how many more are there?" I complain. "Hush and smile." He says smiling as the next Alpha, yet another wolf stepped up. I could understand that people wanted the best for their races but I was not just a means to an end. To my relief I noticed that the line of limos had ended. Ten more smiles to strangers and I quickly hurried toward the nearest empty sitting room. Dropping down I groan and sigh. "You aren't done yet." My sister says standing arms crossed in front of me. Ellie was a very protective big sister but at times like this when duty was the important thing, she was a pain in the butt. "I just wanted a minute to sit and relax. I've been standing there for hours." I see her take a breath and relax. "I know this isn't what you wanted, or easy on you at all but you understand why it's being done like this, don't you?" "I understand and despite how offensive it is to be given away like a puppy for adoption, I've been good haven't I?" "Yes, but you could be a little friendlier to them."
Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️ by ZaynismRules

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.
