Alice X Mad Hatter

My name is Themis and I am not supposed to be alive. I survived the hunt, saddled with a husband and still I have to waddle my way through so many things to remain alive at the end of the day. The one person I can count on other than myself is my new husband who saved my life from the get go. And my gift of prophecy. Maybe, just maybe, it is also enough to save the Dar Empire too. My name is Themis and this is my story.

Kinan mengira pernikahan adalah tentang membangun rumah baru. Namun, setelah lima tahun bersama Aris, ia sadar dirinya hanyalah "penduduk kontrak" yang sewaktu-waktu bisa diabaikan. Aris adalah suami yang nyaris sempurna di mata orang lain—mapan, sopan, dan sangat berbakti pada ibunya. Namun di balik pintu kamar, bakti itu menjadi racun yang perlahan membunuh jiwa Kinan. ​Setiap tetes keringat Kinan untuk mengurus rumah dianggap kewajiban yang tak perlu diapresiasi, sementara setiap rengekan ibunya adalah titah raja yang tak boleh dibantah. Puncaknya adalah ketika Kinan menyadari bahwa di balik kemesraan fisik yang mereka lakukan tiap malam, Aris menyimpan rahasia besar: sebuah masa depan yang dirancang tanpa melibatkan namanya sedikit pun. Kinan bukan pendamping hidup, ia hanya fasilitas untuk mempermudah hidup Aris dan ibunya. ​Dihadapkan pada pilihan antara bertahan dalam kehampaan atau hancur untuk merdeka, Kinan mulai meracik "pembalasannya" sendiri—bukan dengan amarah yang meledak, tapi dengan kepergian yang paling sunyi.

My mate is the bravest patrol chief of the Sundara Pack. When the rogue straps a bomb laced with wolfsbane to me, I try to reach him through our mind-link. Once, twice... He blocks me 99 times. The rogue forces me to call for help, and when Aiden Campbell finally answers, his first words come blazing with anger. "Lina Rutherford! You're risking your life over jealousy again? Kate's pet snow wolf has been stuck in a tree for three days! "She loves that wolf like her own child—if I'm late to save it, that's on you! You'll be a murderer!" I laugh so hard that tears stream down my face. That so-called "trapped" snow wolf? It's simply climbed onto a slanted pine tree in the yard so it can lazily sunbathe on the branches. No one trapped it—it just doesn't feel like coming down. "Thank you, Aiden. You're amazing!" There comes a soft, delicate voice through the phone. It's Kate Summers—Aiden's late brother's widow and also his childhood sweetheart. The bomb's countdown ticks down to three minutes. With a calm heart, I send my final message. "In the name of the Moon Goddess, I sever our mate bond." And then, I cut the mind-link.

"You should be running away from me," he whispered against my neck, his deep voice wrapping around me like a black velvet. He was right. I should run— far, fast, and without looking back. But I couldn't. Or maybe didn't want to. Fisting his shirt tightly, I rasped out, "I hate you." A shiver ran down my spine as his lips curled into a devilish smirk, "No, you don't." He leaned in, our mouths a breath apart. "You just hate how badly you want me, Little Muse," he drawled, voice like a tempting sin. ----------- Everyone thought she was paranoid but Iliana Carlos knew the eyes following her everywhere were real.

—Hay algo duro aquí abajo que me está picando. En el auto de la escuela de manejo, para enseñarle a manejar a mi ahijada, hice que se sentara en mis piernas para guiarla personalmente. Pero apenas encendimos el motor, el auto se nos apagó y la carrocería dio un brinco muy fuerte. Esos amortiguadores de mi ahijada se hundieron profundamente en mi entrepierna. Lo que terminó por acelerarme el pulso fue notar que Camila solo llevaba puesta una minifalda cortísima que no le cubría nada.

“You’re mine.” “No,” she corrected, stepping closer until their chests nearly brushed. “I’m your obsession. There's a difference.” Then—again—that wicked, infuriating smirk.

After all, the man I love is already dead a few years ago.
