In addition to the disqualification of Writer Benefits, STARY reserves the right to claim indemnification and pursue any other legal or equitable remedies (including but not limited to, a claim for refund of all Writer Benefits bonus) against the violating Writer. Since 2019, with an original aspiration to help those who dream of being a writer, Stary has launched a series of welfare programs to encourage writers to chase and reach their writing dreams. Through four years of hard work, we have made great progress. We witness a lot of novice gradually become experienced writers and share their works with readers worldwide. Under such circumstances, the current welfare program needs a revision not only to match the growth of the writing families but also to provide professional writers with more opportunities. Therefore, Stary is about to add a new Writer Advancement Program and corresponding writer welfare from January 1, 2023, which is expected to inspire passionate writers to create more fascinating works. Writer Advancement Program Writer Advancement Program and Corresponding Welfare To meet the general demand of writers, we plan to launch a Writer Advancement Program and corresponding welfare. Specifically, the writer’s previous revenue to the platform will be calculated based on initial credits, with which writers can reach higher grades and receive corresponding welfare. Illustrations From January 2023 onwards, the platform will give writers corresponding credit and set up corresponding share rewards based on the personal revenue earned from all signed works under the contracted writers' names. In other words, the individual income earned by the writer from January 2020 to the present will be calculated as initial credit and decides the writer's starting grade. The Writer Advancement Benefits are calculated independently based on the royalty income of the English work in that month, without interfering with each other The advance plan and bonus are as follows: Writer Advancement GradeWriter CreditRoyalty Rate PlusStary Merkurius5,000,000+2.5% Calculation * 1 Credit = 100 Coins, the current month's credits = total credits of previous exclusive works+ total credits of previous non-exclusive works* 50% (Calculation Period: From the first day to the last day of the month and the current month's credits will be updated on the first day of the following month). * Writer Advancement Grade calculation duration: On the last day of each month, the performance of the work, the type of contract, and the status of the contract will all be considered and generate the corresponding credits. Accordingly, the writer grade will be adjusted and displayed on the first day of the following month. writers will be notified by inbox and can check the details of the amount of advance welfare that has taken effect in the bill. When writers accumulate certain credits, they will reach different grades and credits, receiving corresponding welfare. The specific rules are as follows: For already signed works The month the writer advances, the ongoing work with the highest income will receive the advance welfare corresponding to the current Grade, and the specific figures will be reflected in the total income for that month. Provided a writer has several ongoing works. Work B,C: the ongoing works; Work A: the ongoing work with highest income; Work D,G: newly signed works with Stary. For example, a writer advances from Bronze to Silver on February 1, 2023, and she has three ongoing works, A, B, and C, already signed. The work A income in February is $5,000, ranking top among the three in February. Then work A can get an extra bonus in February: $5,000*0.5%=$25. The bonus details will appear in the February billing statement first but will be subject to a certain review period before being withdrawn. For newly signed works For new works signed with Stary after the writer has advanced, from the month of signing, the work will receive the advance welfare corresponding to the current grade, and the specific figures will be reflected in the total income for that month. For Example, a writer advances from Bronze to Silver on February 1, 2023, and signs a new book (work D) with Stary on February 10th. Her work D's income in February is $1,000, then work D's extra bonus in February is $1000*0.5%=$5. Namely, work D can get an extra $5 advance bonus in February. The situation that may affect the credits The writer advance system and the corresponding benefits are a special program set up by Stary in order to maintain a good partnership with writers and to motivate creators to be more professional. Therefore, there are also requirements for writers. a. Have a regular update: If all works under the writer's name stop updating for more than three months, Stary has the right to call off the advance of the writer's welfare grade. Subsequently, each time the writer hasn't updated for three months, he or she will descend one grade. b. Have a cooperation with the platform in a friendly manner: If a writer violates the contract or violates the rules of the platform, Stary will lower the welfare grade of the violator depending on the severity of his or her action. For examples If a writer advances from Silver to Gold on June 1, 2023, and work A is the highest earning work among all ongoing works under her name. Then she signs a new work G with Stary on June 5, then work A and G will receive a 1% monthly welfare bonus starting in June. If a writer descends from Gold to Silver in October 2023, her advance welfare for books G and A will be reduced from 1% to 0.5%, but work D will remain unaffected for the time being. If she subsequently descends from Silver to Bronze , the advance welfare for books A, D and G will be reduced from 0.5% to 0%.

The moment Ezra saw his brother taking his last breath the only thought floating in his mind was revenge. He found out that Kendrick died due to his mate rejecting him. No matter how much tried to convince, plead nor even beg did she change her mind on the matter. Kendrick tried to hold on for his clan but ultimately in the end he could not, and his life was lost due to the rejection. Larisa Dankworth of the Snowmoon clan was the ex-mate of Kendrick. Ezra wanted to know everything about her. Regardless that she was a member of one of the most clans he said, “I plan to turn their entire clan into ashes, I will those responsible for my brother’s death and make them pay for his sufferings!” Immediately Ezra was asked to take over the alpha position of Bloodmoon clan from his brother, but he denied as the funeral for his brother had yet to happen. He was reminded that in order to avenge his brother he needed to be in a powerful position and have the powers to do so. After the funeral, he took the Alpha position. His first decision as Alpha was to claim Larisa as a chosen mate, even those he never thought he was never aware of his fated mate. Why? “A simple death would be painless for her, so I wish to torture her and her entire clan every single day before they meet their miserable end!” Unbeknownst to Ezra when Larisa’s parents were killed and her aunt and uncle, the Beta couple took over as she was just a child. Her life since then has been utterly miserable When she found out about the death of Kendrick was heartbroken to learn of the death of Kendrick. What Ezra doesn’t know is that Larisa didn’t want to reject Kendrick at all, she was forced to. Her Aunt Raquel wanted her own daughter to become the mate of Kendrick and tortured Larisa to force her to reject Kendrick. Suddenly within moments after finding about his death her door is slammed open and a stranger stride in asking if she is Larisa and takes her from her room. It Is Ezra and explains to her Aunt Rachel that he is claiming her as his mate, and he is taking her. Larisa has a ray of hope that Ezra is saving her, not realizing she is going from one prison to another. The moment she was in Bloodmoon, she realized she wasn’t being rescued at all. She is locked up in a room once again. Ezra begins to feel a pain in his heart and begins to question why. His childhood from Storm says that the pain he is feeling is because of his or his mate is in some kind of trouble. Suddenly now he has this pain that shows he has this hint of the existence of an actual mate. As he tries to force claim Larisa, she informs him that as an Alpha he cannot do so, she must agree to it. He plans to come up with a way to do so and decides to not feed her. However, the moment he looks into her eyes, he gets the feeling that she is his fated mate! Instead of backing down and making her his mate, he refuses to. He refuses to back down from his word and wants to serve her with immense torture until she breaks down and begs him for marking. All the while her Aunt Raquel is dancing with glee that Larisa’s life is far worse than before. She thinks that Larisa is too innocent to plot anything and won’t reveal the truth about the rejection. Completely feels she got away with it all. In fact, Raquel is already planning with her daughter Enya that after Ezra kills Larisa, she will make Enya his mate. They want to ensure that Larisa’s mouth stays shut forever. Larisa is still refusing to eat or drink. Ezra has gone to the length of going to torture her pack members in front of her so that she accepts him and gives permission to mark her. Reluctantly she agreed. AT that time is when Ezra notices her scars and begins to question. Shortly after their sister Serah arrives, to exact her revenge on Larisa for Kendrick. Poor Larisa, who has done nothing wrong, is treated with maliciousness by everyone, but Ezra seems to question it. Even though Serah wants to kill her. The scars on her don’t make any sense, even though she lies about how she got them. He knows she did and if she lied about that, what else did lie about all this time? What is she hiding? I became billionaire's wife after one night stand! "ABIGAIL WINCHESTER, GET OUT OF THE HOUSE!" My mom died and my dad fell into my scheming bestie's trap. They kicked me out of the house while I was pregnant. And my bestie, the culprit showed off her joy and sucess right in front of me. “Enjoy your flight, don’t bother to write.” “F*ck you!” I showed her my middle finger and left without looking back. Five years later, I was back with my daughter Mia. I had to find the baby's father and made sure my father and stepmother to get the punishement they deserved. But my boss seemed to pay too much attention to me. He was not only the company's CEO but also the only heir of the Billionaire Greenwood Family, Manson. "Are you available tonight, for a date, with me?" He was so handsome like a Greek God. My heart was thumping. "BOSS?" "It's Daddy!" My daughter jumped out from his back.Amber’s mother was killed right in front of her eyes by rogues when she was thirteen. She made a vow to herself that she would become stronger, fight and become an Elite Warrior in her pack. She is the daughter of the Gamma for the Shadow Winds pack. As she has grown, she watched her older sister, Regina, goes to college for her dreams to become a pack doctor and ultimately meet her mate. Then to what Amber seems as if just drops out and gives up her dream to have pups. “I shake my head, “If I found my mate.” I say mockingly, “And he made me give up everything I worked for to pop out pups, I would die.” While Amber doesn’t want a mate, her wolf Lilith desperately does and tries constantly to get Amber to see what good a mate could be. On her Elite Squad testing day, this throws a hitch in their relationship. Her cousin Deacon stops by with her grandfather and a scent is attached to him that drives Lilith nuts, constantly distracting her. So much so that Amber is relegated to the Delta squad. Amber begins to dream of silver wolves, unbeknownst to her and her mates that their wolves are contacting one another in the dream world. “Don’t you recognize your own, mate,” She responds. “I’m Lilith. I can’t wait to meet you,” She grins and disappears into the fog surrounding us. Skylar and Tyler of Nightstar pack visit have a chosen mate, Savannah, though Tyler would rather have his fated mate. They were raised by an uncle who blurred their vision and understanding of mates, especially Skylar’s views. When they reach Shadow Winds, Amber’s scent is everywhere, and they know it. They can’t help but look for her. However, Amber hides until she must set foot in front of them. The moment she does, she runs. After some time, her Uncle Henry, the Alpha commands her to come to a meeting where she must meet and speak with her mates. This meeting did not go well. At all. Tyler wants her but Skylar does not as he informs her the twins already have a Luna. She is needed only to keep their wolves. If she does not go with them back to Nightstar, they will start a war and destroy the pack. She refuses to destroy her pack or cause harm to an innocent, so she reluctantly gives in. However, she makes it explicitly clear that she will find a way to reject them legally and within bounds without causing a war between the packs. Upon arrival at Nightstar her eyes are opened on many levels. She learns that their pack is welcoming of female warriors. She meets her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and both greet her warmly. However, of course Skylar ensures she meets Savannah as soon as possible. As both twins her kissing Savannah realizes just has unwanted and unneeded, she really is by these two. Alpha Victor meets with her and asks her to fight and give them a chance to realize that a fated mate is better than a weak and pathetic chosen mate. HE offers Amber the ability to train his warriors and she takes him up on this. She also realizes that the twins are weaker than they realize and will play on their weakness. Women are far superior and stronger than men realize. #Dreame #werewolf #alpha #mate #luna #novel #bookworm #reading #book #lovestory #romance **********: 75 75 " 'Come on, kiddo. Let's go home.
