Anjing Mickey Mouse

It started with a stolen wallet and turned into something neither of them could’ve imagined. What began as a game of cat and mouse has turned into something more. They're no longer just trying to outsmart each other; they’re going deeper, and it’s setting off sparks in all the wrong places. As they get closer, the truths they’ve kept hidden start to unwind, tearing through the lives they’ve built. The illusion of control slips away, and now, everything’s on the line — their lives, their secrets, and their hold on each other. The question is, can they survive it all — or will they destroy each other in the process?

Setelah dipaksa menukar jantung untuk cinta pertama suamiku, aku mati di koridor rumah sakit swasta yang didirikannya sendiri. Saat menjelang ajal, anak lelakiku yang berusia enam tahun menangis dan memohon padanya tiga kali. Pertama, anakku menggandeng tangan ayahnya dan berkata bahwa aku muntah darah. Ayahnya menyeringai dingin dan berkata, "Kali ini akhirnya ada kemajuan, sampai mengajarkan anak untuk berbohong." Lalu menyuruh pengawal mengusir anakku dari kamar. Kedua, anakku menarik lengan bajunya dan berkata bahwa aku sudah mulai mengoceh tak karuan karena menahan sakit. Ayahnya mengerutkan kening dan berkata, "Bukannya hanya mengganti jantung? Kata dokter, tidak akan mati." Pengawal maju dan kembali menyeret anakku keluar dari kamar. Ketiga, anakku merangkak di lantai, menggenggam erat ujung celananya sambil menangis, berkata bahwa aku sudah tidak sadarkan diri. Ayahnya akhirnya marah, mencekik leher anakku dan melemparkannya keluar dari kamar. "Sudah kukatakan, Kiyano tidak akan mati. Jika kamu masih berani mengganggu istirahat Sheilla, pasti akan kulempar kalian berdua keluar dari rumah sakit." Untuk menyelamatkanku, anakku menggadaikan Kalung Penjaga Umur yang paling berharga kepada perawat. "Bibi, aku tidak ingin panjang umur lagi, aku hanya ingin ibuku hidup." Perawat menerima Kalung Penjaga Umur dan bersiap mengatur kamar terakhir untukku. Namun Sheilla, cinta pertama suamiku, menyuruh orang menggendong anjing peliharaannya dan menghalangi depan kamar, lalu berkata, "Maaf ya nak, ayahmu khawatir aku akan bosan tidak bertemu anjing, kamar ini disediakan untuk anjingku."

Annabella has spent her life as the invisible daughter, the "little mouse" her brother mockingly named her. As the Beta's third-in-line heir, she should command respect. Instead, she endures her father Eugene's abuse in silence, documenting everything with hidden cameras while treasuring anonymous gifts from a secret admirer who sees her worth. For three years, she's found solace in Lucious, the second-born Alpha Heir who defies his brothers' cruel jokes to love her openly. But on her eighteenth birthday, everything changes. The mate bond doesn't just snap into place with Lucious; it ignites with all six Alpha Heirs. A legendary sixfold bond, the rarest connection their kind has known in centuries. Before Annabella can process this revelation, her world shatters. Her father didn't just abuse her; he sold her. A contract with the Moon Slashers Pack, half a million dollars, and a plan to rip her from Lucious's arms and deliver her to another Alpha's bed. Her brother Tate, her supposed protector, helped orchestrate it all. When Eugene's betrayal explodes at her coming-of-age breakfast, Annabella's forced first shift becomes a desperate flight for survival. Six mates who failed to protect her now race to prove their worth. A father willing to destroy anyone in his path to power. A mother she believed dead for five years: alive, drugged, imprisoned. And hidden camera footage revealing a conspiracy that spans multiple packs, threatens the Alpha's reign, and exposes a trafficking ring built on selling she-wolves like livestock. The little mouse was never weak. She was waiting for her moment to roar. Six mates. One truth. And chains that are finally breaking.

But today, these two losers harbor a sentient parasite with a sarcastic sense of humor and a ravenous appetite. As the parasite figures out how to control its new human hosts, the focus of its desires grows from delicious cheeseburgers and beer to something much darker and more dangerous.©️ Crystal Lake Publishing
