“We’ll be entering a contract marriage?”... more>>

Melissa, an omega and an illegitimate child of the Rosewood County.

Her only family and the only one who was ever on her side—her mother—had passed away.

“…This is not the Count’s funeral hall.”

“I couldn’t be certain because your pheromones were too light, but it’s true. You’re an omega.”

At that point in her life, Melissa was about to become the wife of an old marquis. It was a sacrifice she had to make for the sake of her family.

However, Ian appeared in front of her and gave one final choice that she could make.

“The contract’s main stipulation is very simple. Give birth to an alpha who will become the household’s successor.”

The contract marriage that began as such was like a sweet, sweet melody.

Knowing that one’s life was about to be devoured, but nonetheless addicted to that sweetness—unable to escape. <<less

Lea, who was executed after committing every imaginable atrocity.... more>>

Having returned to the past, she vows that in this life, she will live for him alone.

If it were for atonement, she was willing to offer up everything she had.

Money, status, her guiding ability. Even her most intimate secret…

***

As she reached her breaking point, memories from the vanished past to the present flashed rapidly through her mind.

The guilt and anguish she had been suppressing burst forth like a dam breaking.

“I’m sorry. Truly, I was wrong.”

She begged him without even knowing exactly why he was angry.

“For what?”

Even as she wept pitifully like a child, Calix didn’t bat an eye.

Instead, the mouth that had been tightly shut slowly relaxed.

“E-Everything.”

She felt overwhelming remorse toward him. For everything… including the fact that she had come back to life.

“No, Lea.”

Calix denied her words as he slowly closed the distance.

His movements were cautious, like a predator driving its prey into a corner.

“Your real sin…”

He reached her at last, and with an expressionless face, extended his hand slowly.

The moment his hand brushed her trembling, rounded shoulder, he pulled her into his arms.

“…is that you kept your true identity hidden all this time.”

Only after Lea was in his embrace did he let out a languid laugh, and in a voice filled with possessiveness and ecstasy, he whispered,

“How dare you be so insolent. You were mine from the very beginning.”

As he stroked her fox ears with his fingertips, his gaze darkened, fixed on the pendant of the collar she wore.

The pendant that marked him as the owner of this fox. <<less

Sia, who always lamented, ‘Why am I the only one without a cat?’, ended up chasing after a stray cat—only to be transported to another dimension.

The place she arrived in was the Pelles Empire, the land of cat werebeasts.

Though she was initially frightened after being dropped into an unfamiliar world, that fear quickly faded as she basked in what felt like a paradise for cat lovers.

Then, she encountered a strikingly beautiful black-maned male cat…

***

She looked down at the cat nestled quietly in her arms, gazing back at her. She had seen many cats since arriving here, but this was the first time she had encountered one with heterochromatic eyes.

“Black fur and odd eyes? Oh, you’re just too charming.”

Sia sat down on a nearby chair and lifted the cat in her arms to meet his gaze. Staring blankly at the strikingly handsome feline face, she couldn’t help herself and kissed him.

Nox’s gold and blue eyes widened in utter disbelief.

“Hehe, I didn’t mean to! You’re just so handsome that I kissed you without thinking!”

He had been too stunned to react properly for a while now. He was experiencing more new things in a single day than he had in his entire life.

“If I could be the butler of a cat as handsome as you, I’d gladly spend my entire salary on you. Please, will you live with me?”

Just like she had always done with stray cats, Sia asked for his permission as if making a marriage proposal.

However, she failed to notice something—the cat’s tail had stiffened straight up.

Sia had no idea.

She didn’t know that all the cats she had encountered in this world were actually cat werebeasts who could shift into animal form.

She didn’t know anything about the ruthless wild instincts that lurked beneath their cute exteriors.

Caught off guard by her words, Nox let himself get swept up in an emotion he couldn’t name, and closed his eyes.

It was a complex feeling, but the decision was simple.

Nox answered with a long, drawn-out meow.

He would allow it.

Yes. He would be with her. <<less

The Pink Rabbits are a mysterious clan with the gift of foresight. One day, while living peacefully in the wilderness, they are kidnapped by the Golden Lion Clan. Ruby, who discovers the gruesome scene too late, sets out to find the Black Wolf Tribe to rescue her people.... more>>

* * *

Ivan, the leader of the Black Wolf Tribe, harbors one secret that he keeps from the entire tribe.

“Damn!”

Once again, he was fleeing into the mountains to escape the torment that haunted him every night. In his panic and unable to see anything, he stepped on something soft and squishy.

“Ouch!”

For a moment, he lost his balance, but thanks to his agility and quickness, he managed to land unharmed, only to be caught by his tormentors.

“Get lost, don’t come near me!”

Just as he was about to be forced to climax in this embarrassing situation that he didn’t want to show anyone, he saw something with red eyes crawling quickly towards him.

“What the hell!”

Horrified at the sight of the scattered hair and the ruby red eyes, Ivan tried to back away, but was blocked by a tree.

Thump.

“Are you insane? Let go!”

While Ivan froze in shock, Ruby, with sparkling eyes, shouted energetically while looking at the carrot.

“Delicious carrots, I’ll eat them!”

Nom–

“Aaah!”

“Hehe, carrot…”

A brutal scream and a satisfied mumble merged together. <<less

I am tired of being judged solely by appearance.
I wore the mask that they had made for me, showing only what those people wished to see.
Whenever I attempted to remove this forced mask, I was invariably met with such disappointment in their gazes.
As it was becoming increasingly burdensome, that’s when I met her.... more>>

Leila von Este.

Though she was born as the empire's only hyper-dominant omega,
She was entangled in the scandal of being 'the omega forsaken by the gods'.
Her unkempt and gloomy black hair, poorly maintained, framed her eyes…
Which shone like a beautiful rainbow but, tragically, could not see.

While her situation was indeed pitiable, to me, her misfortune became my sole refuge—my succor.
She was truly the perfect omega bestowed upon me by the gods.

...And it had to remain that way forever.
Even if it meant capturing her and locking her away should she dare to think of leaving my side. <<less

I sacrificed my own life to save my husband, who was my first love.
I thought I could finally be free from this foolish love after I’ve died, but…... more>>

Why is it that when I opened my eyes again, I found myself in someone else’s body?
Even worse, I transmigrated into a novel?

And why is my ex-husband here, too?

He became the S-Class Esper who was obsessed with the female lead—enough that he would eventually commit treason against the Crown Prince, who was the true male lead.
More than anything else though, why did I suddenly manifest the abilities of a Guide?

…Ah, whatever. I died anyway, so that should be the same as a divorce, I guess.

* * *

“My wife, did you think that I wouldn’t recognize your guiding?”

Why do you remember me.
Why are you looking at me like that, not the female lead? With those eyes so full of obsession and madness.
You weren’t originally this kind of man.

He approached me at a languid pace, watching closely as I was at a loss for words.
His saunter was slow and elegant, as though he was a lion approaching his prey—even so, he could not hide his thirst and hunger. No, it’s not as if he was even trying to hide it.

As he finally arrived in front of me, he raised one hand and held my chin. With his thumb, unceremoniously, he rubbed my lower lip.
At the familiar action, I felt myself shudder. He had always been rather rough whenever he received my guiding.
His delighted expression was slightly distorted.

“Ha…”

The moment his skin touched mine—the moment I started guiding him—he let out a deep, drawn-out sigh. His hot, thick breath clung to my eyes and lips.

I felt a warm hand touch my back, and he soon pulled me close to him forcefully. With my body pressed entirely against his, I couldn’t hide my surprise as I glanced up at him.
Then, when he opened his previously closed lids, his blue eyes looked at me as though he’d been waiting.

With his lips so close to the tip of my nose, he turned his head obliquely as he crooned.

“I’ve been looking for you for such a long time, Honey.” <<less
