Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post.

THERE’S NO ALPHA

This story revolves around a desperate clan of different species of wolves and mysterious beings who have a common interest in destroying a strong Beta, Guyong, who is feared by other wolves — his pack members and other pack members. Jiah and her clan are on the run to get their members complete, as it has been said — they must find their complete clan before they would be able to fight Guyong effectively. Jiah and her few clan members, Sungmin and Yula, struggle to unveil hidden truths that help them discover themselves and their other clan members. However, Jiah is tied to her fated mate, Sungmin, who is an Omega, and he is also part of her clan. Yula, on the other hand, was a very good friend of Jiah. She is now a member of her clan too. Destiny brings them together, but Guyong tries to scatter and destroy them one after another because he knows that if he doesn’t stop what has been written, Jiah and Sungmin will destroy him in the future — his clan and the bloody empire he had built over the years. He sources different means to eliminate them or stop the future from surfacing.
