Alone. Even surrounded by my devoted wolves, I feel alone and forsaken. The legends of my clan say that an Alpha without a mate will wither in time, and weakness will infect him until a stronger wolf will challenge and dethrone him. I cannot allow that to happen. I’ve searched for my mate far and wide, and when I couldn’t find her among my species, I turned to the walled cities of the humans. They are filled with fair, fertile females, but none of them smells or feels like my mate. There is one last thing I can try. The Temple. Can a simple draw of blood match me to my fated mate? I don’t believe it. Until I see her. She is beautiful, fierce… She is untamable. Her scent tells me all I need to know. She is mine.

I came to Alia Terra with my people to find land and create a family. They send me to the marriage temple, where my future mate awaits. I’m unsure of it, just doing my duty, until I see her. My heart strums and suddenly my world wraps around her. Everything about her entices me, makes me want to shield and protect, and do claim her as my mate, as my wife.

If I want to become the next Dragon King, I need a bride. But a bride is easy to find. My brother has chosen one, and now it’s my turn. A soul mate, on the other hand… Over the last few centuries, the existence of perfect soul mates has become a legend. Dragons, just as humans, get bonded and then unbonded. That’s not what I want. While my brother has brought home a bride from a noble dragon family, I want to bring home a real soul mate, and I am willing to look beyond my species. Our father, the Dragon King who’s given us years of prosperity, is retiring. Between my brother and I, he will choose the strongest to be his successor. And that means, the one who has the most loyal, devoted, and brave warrior bride. Only the Temple can find my soul mate. A drop of blood, and I will have my DNA match. It will be perfect. She will be perfect for me, because the DNA test never fails. And when my one true soul mate joins me, we will sit on the throne together and be invincible.

My tiny new wife is a force of chaos bent on turning my life upside down.I am a researcher. I read books, conduct experiments, and live quietly on the fringes of the orc town. All I want is peace, quiet, and a female to satisfy the wild urges of my orc body so they don’t distract me from my work. Getting a human wife through the Temple seems like a logical solution—until I bring her home and she starts sowing chaos. She moves my books, cuts my herbs to make bouquets, and replaces the blessed silence with laughter and song. For such a tiny person, she can be very loud. And opinionated. Worst of all, she does nothing to calm my libido. Instead, she makes my body eager and my mind obsessed. She encroaches on my space, my work, my thoughts, and worst of all, my heart. I hate being out of control, yet with her, it’s all I can be. This cannot go on. Something has to give. The Temple, a matchmaking service for monsters, shifters, and aliens, is open for service.

So next time, I won't make the choice. I'll let the Temple choose for me. I send them my blood, and they will find me my perfect match. A female who will never betray me. Months pass and I hear no word from the Temple. Maybe I'm doomed to be alone. I forget about it and move on with my life. But one night, while I'm on patrol, I hear a scream.

Liches are almost gone, only a handful of us left. I must marry to keep my race from extinction, yet how? No living female will ever stoop so low as to marry a lich. People fear us. They say we are the harbingers of death, bad luck, rot and decomposition. In one last bid to carry out my duty, I request a wife through the Temple. She turns out to be a neglected, sickly thing with trembling hands and downcast eyes, seeking an arranged marriage out of despair. And she’s perfect. Her blushes burn hot, her voice rings with feeling, and her kisses taste like summer. She is life personified, all warmth, light, and sweetness, and I crave her like darkness craves the sun.

I made a drunken bet. The Yule was nigh, and Yule’s the time when Frost men drink mulled wine and dare each other to stupid stunts. My brother bet I’d be too scared to send a blood sample to the Temple, so of course, I proved him wrong. And before I sobered up enough to withdraw my application… Ping! I got matched. So now I have to go up there and explain to the hapless woman who’s apparently my perfect mate that I’m in no hurry to get married. I’m only 54, goddammit! Who even marries so young? Me, as it turns out. I do. Because the bride that fell in my lap like the most perfect Yule present won’t let me leave. She’s a harridan and one hell of a bossy shrew who pummels me with cute, lust-provoking insults, and I… I think I’m in love.

Is there anyone for me? Or am I meant to live and die alone? Krampus. It could be my name, or it could be what my species is called. I don't know. During The Shift, something happened, and I lost my memory. I don't know where I come from; all I know is there's no one like me on Alia Terra. I am unique. Uniquely monstrous. I am hard to look at. I don't know how old I am, either. Old, for sure, but I feel young. Young enough that I have warmth and love to offer, if only I could find someone to accept me as I am. My only option is the Temple, but even as I let them draw my blood for the DNA test, I have no hope they'll find a match for me. Against all odds, they do. And she is beautiful, perfect, so sweet, and... horrified when she sees me. My bride cannot look at my face.

For my birthday, I get the worst gift a bride.My kind lives in the deepest woods of Alia Terra. The humans call us forest giants, but we call ourselves grendels, after our ancestor. We live in small communities, and we'd be happy to have nothing to do with humans, except we need... their females. My brothers are all married, and now it is my turn. I refuse to do it. Human females are tiny, and fragile, and need too much care... I'd rather end up selfish and alone. My brothers say a bride would change me, but I beg to differ. They leave me alone. Until...She comes out of my birthday cake. A gorgeous little thing, with hair like the sun and eyes like the sea, with a body so delicate that I'm afraid to even breathe in her direction.

I'll do anything to make her believe in us. I can't survive another mating season without a mate. For a Lynx as old as I am, I should've been mated years ago, but I haven't had the luck to find my one and only in my community. Lynxes mate for life. I know she's out there, and if she's not of my species, then she must be human. So, I send my blood to the Temple and pray they will find my perfect match. The Temple is never wrong, or so they say. When they find my mate and she does everything in her power to escape me, I'm starting to doubt the accuracy of the DNA test. She's beautiful, feisty, and a little bit shallow, used to being treated like a princess. I need her with all my being. I'm ready to give her the world in exchange for a cuddle. \This is a charity book. The proceeds will go to a cat shelter in Romania. They need all the help they can get for their cuddly and not-so-cuddly kitties. The shelter is called Friends of Cats (Prietenii Pisicilor in Romanian).*
