Dokter berkata, aku hanya sisa tiga hari. Gagal hati akut. Satu-satunya harapan adalah uji klinis yang sangat berisiko, peluang terakhir dan paling tipis bagiku untuk bertahan hidup. Namun, suamiku, David, malah memberikan kuota yang tersisa kepada adik perempuan angkatku, Emma, yang juga merupakan ibu baptis putriku. Kondisi penyakitnya masih dalam tahap awal. Dia bilang itu adalah “pilihan yang tepat” karena dia “lebih pantas untuk hidup.” Aku pun menandatangani dokumen untuk menghentikan pengobatan dan meminum obat pereda nyeri berdosis tinggi yang diresepkan oleh dokter. Ganjarannya adalah organ dalamku akan gagal berfungsi dan aku akan kehilangan nyawa. Ketika aku menyerahkan perusahaan perhiasan dan rancangan desain yang telah aku kerjakan dengan susah payah kepada Emma, ayah dan ibu memujiku karena menjadi “kakak perempuan yang baik”. Ketika aku setuju untuk bercerai dan membiarkan David menikahi Emma, David mengatakan “akhirnya aku bersikap perhatian”. Ketika aku membiarkan anakku untuk memanggil Emma dengan sebutan ibu, anakku bertepuk tangan dengan gembira dan berkata, “Emma adalah ibu yang lembut dan baik.” Ketika aku memberikan semua hartaku kepada Emma, seluruh keluargaku menganggapnya wajar dan tidak melihat sesuatu yang aneh pada diriku. Aku sangat penasaran, apakah mereka masih bisa tertawa setelah mendengar berita kematianku?

Aria never thought the forest behind her house was anything more than a place to breathe.

Kai is next in line to lead the Blackthorn pack, and he knows what Aria is before she does: rare, powerful, and exactly what their enemy wants. If Darius gets to her first, she won’t just be claimed — she’ll be used as a weapon. But Aria isn’t anyone’s pawn.

Aria must decide if she can trust the bond growing between her and Kai — before the next pull drags her across a line she can never uncross.

The uprising killed the royal Cardinal family. The Cardinals were magic wielders and had ruled for over five hundred years with an iron fist. Eventually, the humans waged war against wielders and shifters. They overthrew the crown, branding all non-human beings as Unnaturals and leaving them to fend for themselves in a broken world. Ida has spent those last ten years since the uprising sold from one household to another, never able to repay her indenture. The situation, although not ideal, has offered her a second chance at life. A life in hiding was better than no life at all, and she did not wish to suffer the same fate as others of her kind. Sold into the services of Duke Kestrel, she meets a seductive yet mysterious Lord Alexander. Already in his thirties, Xander cares very little for his title and responsibilities. He should have been married years ago, but no woman appears to please him. Many assume he is simply difficult, but not all is what it seems. Xander carries the weight of being a shifter, unable to find his mate in this new kingdom. After a chance meeting between them, Ida becomes overwhelmed by Alexander's mixed signals. She dares not succumb to her inner feelings. Letting Xander in would mean opening up about what she truly is, and she is determined to keep her past hidden. Xander, however, has other plans. He intends to get his mate by whatever means necessary. When both their lives intertwine by fate, a new quest emerges fraught with danger as they encounter all walks of life trying to tear them apart. Can their love survive, or is there a more sinister plot afoot?

My girlfriend called me frantically out of the blue, saying her mother's water had broken. She begged me to take them to the hospital. But I lazily hung up the phone and turned away, buying myself an ice cream bar instead. In my previous life, her mother had also gone into labor late in life. I had risked everything to rush her to the hospital, running twelve red lights, pushing my car to the limit until the fuel gauge nearly burst. Yet, despite all that, her mother had lost the baby. Worse still, she turned around and accused me of killing the baby. My girlfriend had hated me for it, blaming me for her mother's inability to have children again. That very night, she and her shameless relatives took over my family's house, forcing my parents into such anger and despair that they ended up in the hospital. My company went bankrupt, and as if that weren't enough, I was beaten so severely that both my legs were broken. In the end, I fell into a deep depression and took my own life. But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself reborn. This time, I uncovered the secret her mother had been hiding.
