LOGINAlpha King Maddox nips at my ear. “Do you like that, little flower?” I moan an answer as his other hand slides my nightgown down off of my shoulder so his mouth comes down on me, his tongue lapping at my sensitive skin. ***** I''m just his breeder, traded for a debt. But can I convince King Maddox I could be more--so much more? *Isla* When my pack Alpha takes me to the castle to see the king, I have no idea he's trading me for a personal debt. Scared and alone, I contemplate what might happen to me and miss my family. But then I meet King Maddox. His reputation for being cruel is a contrast to the care I see deep in his eyes. Is it possible he could develop feelings for me? A poor girl brought to the castle to complete a task? I am just a tool to him after all. Or am I? *Maddox* After my wife died, I had no intention of falling in love again, but I need an heir. A simple solution presents itself in the form of a beautiful girl, given to me in exchange for a debt. But the more I get to know Isla, the more drawn to her I am. Is it possible she's just the one to make me forget the tragic night my wife died... a night I take full responsibility for? With pressure from other Alphas to marry one of their daughters, and rumors that Isla isn't who she seems to be, my decision will not be easy. But then, I'm the Alpha King. My decisions are never easy. I hope I make the right one. Because Isla is starting to get under my skin--I want to be on top of hers. Forever Season 5 now available!

“KYAAAAAAAA!”
Hal yang terakhir lelaki itu dengar adalah teriakan memekakkan telinga dari berbagai sisi. Ia terperanjat, terbangun dari tidur pulasnya dan langsung menoleh ke sana-ke mari untuk mengetahui ada ribut-ribut apa sebenarnya.
Hanya saja, apa yang ia lihat diluar dugaan. Begitu matanya terbuka, cahaya putih menyilaukan terlihat, seketika pupil mengecil dan ia mengernyit.
Namun sedetik berikutnya … semua gelap.
Gelap gulita bak seluruh cahaya di bumi menghilang.
“A-apa?!” lelaki itu, pria 29 tahun bersetelan putih-hitam dengan name tag Bima Farhan D. pada seragamnya berceletuk. Ia terkejut setengah mati dengan apa yang terjadi.
Cepat, ia mulai memperhatikan sekelilingnya. Kelereng hitam itu menyapu kegelapan dalam hitungan detik. Sayang ia tak menemukan secuil petunjuk dimana dia. Bahkan mana atas mana bawah pun tak tahu. Ia coba lagi lakukan scanning, tapi hasilnya sama. Hanya hampa yang menyapa.
Sampai di suatu titik, terdapat sesuatu melayang di depannya. Bentuknya seperti jendela opsi dalam game. Agaknya mirip sekali dengan hasil tampilan projector di tempat kerja.
Namun tulisan yang berada di dalamnya membuat ia menegang.
[You're dead. Do you want to stay alive?]
[Yes] [No]
What?! Apa-apaan ini?! Lelaki itu menganga. Dalam benak, ia menduga ini prank. Mungkin dia sedang disekap atau dijadikan bahan penelitian.
Tapi … entah mengapa rasanya real.
Menjulurkan tangan, insting bertahan hidup Bima bekerja. Tanpa menunggu lama, ia raih cahaya biru yang tunjukkan kata-kata 'Yes'.
Sedetik ia mengagumi fakta jika pendaran cahaya itu mampu ia sentuh. Namun detik berikutnya, seluruh kekaguman Bima terhempas. Entah mengapa dunianya jumpalitan, ia seperti dilempar ke atas, tendang kanan kiri dan dihempas ke tanah.
Semua berputar. Berputaaar. Berputaaaar.
Ia ingin muntah, tapi tak kuasa. Ingin pingsan pun tak bisa. Rasanya Bima sudah mabok, mabok tapi masih waras.
Tiga menit kemudian baru semuanya mereda. Meski hanya sesaat.
Karena yang berikutnya ia rasa adalah guncangan hebat. Guncangan yang makin lama makin kencang. Ia tak nyaman. Ia ingin tahu apa yang membuatnya begini.
Namun sekeliling masih gelap gulita.
Sampai di satu titik, dia merasakan keanehan ketika ada seseorang di belakang dirinya.
Seketika Bima membuka mata. Betapa dia terkejut ketika di atasnya ... di atasnya ada seseorang sedang memandangnya lapar.
W-what? What the hell?!
Bima menegang. Kelereng biru tubuhnya membelalak, napasnya tercekat, wajah putih di sana pun memucat. Selayang pikir memenuhi benak. A-apa yang terjadi? Kenapa tiba-tiba—dimana dia? Siapa orang ini?!
Namun belum juga Bima selesai dengan keterkejutan yang melanda, orang itu kembali bergerak mendekatinya. Semakin dekat. Sosok maskulin itu mencengkeramnya dengan kuat.
What the fuck?! Apa yang terjadi?! Sakit! Sakit sekali!! Bima ingin berteriak. Namun dia hanya bisa membuka mulut, tanpa suara keluar dari pita di tenggorokan. Ia pun segera berbuat sesuatu, tangannya mencakari alas, berusaha membawa tubuh menjauh.
Sayang, entah mengapa, ia kesulitan bergerak. Tenaganya seperti tersedot, atau menguap. Ada sesuatu dari dalam tubuhnya seperti disedot paksa. Napas bahkan sampai tersendat, erangan demi erangan meluncur.
Erangan yang entah bagaimana di telinga Bima, jadi begitu asing.
Suara siapa itu?
Keanehan-keanehan yang menumpuk ini membuat Bima takut. Ia kembali berusaha kabur. Cepat tangannya terangkat, meraih bahu sosok yang mencengkeramnya.
Sayang, tak ada tenaga di sana. Ia kalah.
Bahkan si lelaki berambut kuning itu tertawa melihat melihat usahanya yang sia-sia. Dirinya tampak mengenaskan.
"Ah … Hentikaaan! Lepaskan aku!"
Bima meronta. Namun ia tak bisa kabur. Tangan besar membuatnya diam, tak bisa bergerak banyak. Gerak demi geraknya seperti pukulan lembut tak berarti. Ia bak wayang sedang lelaki asing di depannya adalah dalang.
Orang itu bahkan tertawa melihat jerih payah Bima. Ia tersenyum miring sebelum mendorong Bima dan memposisikan diri.
Menit-menit berikutnya, Bima hanya bisa pasrah dengan apa yang terjadi.
"Tuan Kiel, kau lucu sekali. Kau harus lihat bagaimana wajahmu sekarang. Apa harus aku lakukan ini terus menerus agar kau mengetahui dimana posisimu, hm?"
Bima terengah, telinganya berdengung. Kemampuan pendengarannya turun separuh lebih. Ia tak mendengar apa yang orang itu bicarakan.
"Duke Vaseo itu anjing dan kau adalah penerus anjing, Tuan. Ingaaat kau tak memiliki power yang sebenarnya"
Bima tak paham. Dia juga tak mau mengerti. Manusia entah siapa itu jelas menekankan suatu nama yang katanya anjing; Vaseo? Paseo?—uh, merk Tissue? Entah, Bima tak ingat.
"Kau melewati batas, anjing harusnya bertingkah seperti anjing, patuh! Paham?" orang itu berseru seraya mengangkat pinggang Bima lebih tinggi dan berbuat sesuatu yang DAR! membuat Bima makin tak waras. Bima hanya bisa terengah, tubuhnya panas. Buram, semua buram.
"TUAN KIEL JAWAB AKU!"
Teriakan demi teriakan terdengar. Sayang, Bima setengah sadar, apa yang ia rasa membuat telinga seperti auto memfilter suara-suara tak berarti.
Setidaknya sampai tiba-tiba gendangnya seperti mendengar suara mesin [[Welcome to Deel's System]].
Bima membelalak. Dia tergugu, tak mengerti. Sayang, tanpa ia bisa berkomentar, suara mesin yang sama mengikuti [[Memories synchronization: start]].
Dalam waktu yang sangat cepat, Bima terasa tersedot dalam pusaran yang dipenuhi dengan puing-puing cuplikan video. Dia bisa melihat sesosok lelaki berambut pirang mentah berdiri tegak, sendiri, tersenyum ke sana-sini di segala episode. Ia adalah putra Gilbert yang digadang-gadang menjadi penerus Dukedom Vaseo.
Ketika melihat wajah itu … entah mengapa ada rasa bila anak naas itu adalah dirinya. Dia, Kiel dei Vaseo.
[[DING!!]]
Bima mendengar suara lagi, seperti sistem berikan notifikasi. Matanya yang memburam melihat cahaya pelan-pelan berpendar di ujung matanya. Setelah itu suara cempreng khas anak kecil menggelegar, [[Halo Host! Perkenalkan, aku sistem yang akan menemanimu. Name’s Neo. Kau sudah mati di dunia nyata dan kini akan berpetualang di berbagai dunia bersamakuuu~]]
Huh?
HUUUH?!
Mengikuti suara, muncul ngengat dengan ekor seperti lampu pijar terang— kunang-kunang—di depan Bima. Keterkejutan merajah lelaki Indonesia yang kini menjadi Kiel itu. Mukanya memucat.
Tapi belum juga dia kembali dari keterkejutan ... kunang-kunang itu berkata lagi, [[Oh Host! Untuk menyelesaikan suatu dunia, host harus melakukan dua hal: SATU, host harus membuat harem minim 3 orang dan mendapatkan cinta mereka. DUA, host harus melakukan slebewslebew—maksudku ‘itu’ bersama mereka.]]
Bima menganga mendengar penjelasan itu.
Bima tak heran dengan kondisi tiba-tiba tertransmigrasi begini, tapi tunggu dulu! Syarat menyelesaikan dunia ini apa tadi? Hah?! Bukan kedamaian dunia atau semacamnya?!
[[Kalau mau menjadi penguasa dunia juga boleh, tapi kalau dua syarat tadi diabaikan ya sama aja Host tak akan bisa mati. Restart deh~]]
Hah?! Bima terhenyak sekali lagi. Otaknya berpintal cepat.
Jadi … selain dua yang disebutkan Neo, masih ada yang ketiga untuk bisa berpindah dunia: dia harus ‘mati’. Tapi kalau belum membuat harem dan melakukan ‘itu’, dia tak bisa mati.
Hah?! PERMAINAN SETAN MACAM APA INI GUSTI?!
[[Haha. Sans, host. Host sudah memiliki tabungan poin atau koin kok sekarang. Orang yang sedang bersama host sekarang termasuk dalam daftar harem meski bukan male leads. Dan host sudah menaikkan intimasi dengannya, nanti coba cek di tabulasi missions ya host~]]
Bima menegang mendengar hal ini. Kepalanya seketika pusing tujuh keliling. Informasi yang ia dapatkan terlalu absurd.
Detik berikutnya ia klimaks dan pingsan.

OakleyPrincess Juliette is… beautiful. That’s the first thing I noticed about her after the shock of seeing Princess Naomi and Prince Fennec wore off. I haven’t spoken to either of them as it stands, but Juliette scooped me up and whisked me away, and after several hours spent in her quiet presence, I’m wondering if it had less to do with me needing some serious help and more to do with putting distance between herself and her traveling partners. The sunset burns a sharp gold as it fades through the trees. The fire in the center of the clearing is bright now against the backdrop of inky dark forest all around us. I’ve maintained a safe difference from Ian and his family, and I think it’s wise. I can feel the tension between him and Naomi, especially. Juliette doesn’t seem to care that everyone is fighting. “They look better already,” she says, angling my hands in the direction of the firelight to get a better view of the horrible burns turning my skin to leather. “I do have a heal
IanFennec turns my hand over to inspect the blistering on my palms, but I’m watching Juliette tend to Oakley a few yards away, against the far side of the sunny, but smoke scented, clearing. Both women are kneeling, and Julie is taking extra care while braiding Oakley’s hair. “That’s her, then?” Fennec asks, his silver eyes searching mine until I finally meet his gaze. I nod, at a loss for words. My three cousins arrived less than twenty minutes ago, and Naomi immediately took control. I can say with certainty this was the first time I wasn’t happy to see her. It’s not that we didn’t need her. We did. Badly. But her arrival was during a moment when things finally felt somewhat right. “Do the clothes fit?” Fennec says, tugging on my shirt. “You’re only an inch taller than me. I figured it would be fine.”“It’s fine. Thank you.” My throat feels torn raw. He follows my gaze to Oakley, who has fresh bandages on her hands, and the wound on her face has already healed to a shocking s
OakleyAlpin steps into the water. He’s naked. Totally, completely naked. It doesn’t matter. His skin is scorched to a crisp, all shades of red, blue, and black. His arm hangs at an awkward angle from his left shoulder, useless. But in his right arm, he brandishes what I believe is an axe. I push upright, swaying as my body rejects the sudden movement. He slowly moves in my direction. I suppose if he were in better shape, I’d be dead by now at his hand, but neither of us are at our best, and that is in my favor. I brace myself on a tree, taking several painful, burning breaths. My legs refuse to cooperate, even staring death in the face. Alpin can’t speak, which I realize within seconds as his battered face catches a single beam of moonlight breaking through the smokey sky. His jaw is completely dislocated. His teeth are shattered–a bloody, uncanny mess. He went through hell. He deserved it. I take a step away from him, and my legs immediately buckle. I flail, but my hand slips fr
OakleyI’ve seen plenty of people shift into wolves. It’s such a common occurrence that it’s not something I dwell on. Some people are very dramatic about it, shifting in an instant and letting their clothing fray to ribbons. Others take their time, stretching and loosening up before stripping naked and neatly folding their clothes. It’s not violent or painful. It’s a simple, little pop, and all of a sudden, they have four legs instead of two. This is different. This is bloody and grotesque. This is painful, and it’s happening right above me. My scream is swallowed by a sucking sound that shatters the air around us. Ian’s pain radiates through me, forcing my heart to beat like a quick, frantic drum. His skin turns an inky, swallow green before melting away and revealing his new form. Perhaps his true form. “Don’t move!” Wren shouts, holding his hands out in surrender as Ian, now fully seated in his beast form, his wings expanded as far as possible in the snug, low-ceiling room, lif
KennaA sharp scraping sound pulls my attention from the book in my lap. I blink then whirl in the chair I’ve been lounging in for the better part of three hours to find my cousin Ryan dragging a massive grill across his back patio. “What the hell are you doing?” I ask. “Dinner.” He grins then picks
EvanderI’ll give credit where credit is due and admit that Kenna is fast. She darts across the grassy expanse of wide open farmland at a speed I hadn’t expected, and I find myself jogging to try to catch up to her.She cuts between two barns and disappe
EllaIt’s odd seeing Ryatt in plain clothes. He doesn’t fit here, I realize, as I watch him turn his gaze from the strangers seated nearby back to the water all around us. He’s been silent since we walked onto the ferry that runs between the isles and Maatua. I wish I could take a peek into his mind,
AvivaRyan’s hands are huge. He can cover each of my breasts entirely. He can curl his thumb and forefinger around my wrists without issue. He could break my neck into splinters without even feeling the damage he’s doing.For a moment, I feel that rush o
