Apocalypse Z

Aku menikah diam-diam dengan Bos Matt. Setiap kali dia tidur dengan kekasih masa kecilnya, dia berjanji akan memberiku pernikahan sungguhan di depan lima keluarga. Selama lima tahun, Matt sudah berjanji padaku sebanyak 99 kali. Selama 99 kali itu pula, dia meninggalkanku di altar. Pertama kalinya, itu karena kucing pemenang penghargaan milik Cecilia mati. Untuk menghiburnya, Matt menunda pernikahan selama tiga bulan. Aku berdiri sendirian di altar dengan mata memerah dan berusaha menenangkan para tetua keluarga. Kedua kalinya, Cecilia mengamuk di kasino dan menghancurkan vas antik bernilai triliunan. Matt mengalihkan jet pribadi yang seharusnya digunakan untuk pernikahan dan bergegas ke tempat itu dalam semalam untuk membereskan kekacauannya. Setiap kali tepat sebelum pernikahan kami, kekasih masa kecilnya Matt itu pasti selalu mengalami keadaan darurat. Aku menangis, berteriak, dan bahkan menodongkan pistol ke kepala Matt. Namun, dia hanya menekanku ke dinding dan membungkamku dengan ciuman yang dingin serta kasar. "Dia itu cuma pelampiasan, kamu adalah Nyonya Tanjung sesungguhnya. Jaga sikapmu." Setelah yang ke-99 kalinya, aku akhirnya muak. Aku mendorong berkas itu melintasi meja. Dengan tinta yang masih basah, segel Keluarga Tanjung dicap di bagian bawah berkas itu. "Pernikahan kita, aliansi kita ... sudah berakhir."

I was a princess of the sea. And the moment I saw the werewolf Alpha, Dominic, I fell. Hard. I wanted to be his mate. To be part of his world. So I sacrificed everything I was to the Moon Goddess. But he locked me in the pack's isolation room for three days. To "think about what I'd done." All because I didn't rush to help his childhood friend, Harper. She took a dive at the pack banquet, and the room erupted in laughter. Harper cried and collapsed into Dominic’s arms. "Marina must be jealous of how good you are to me. She used her outsider magic to make me fall in front of everyone!" As he locked me away, Dominic's eyes were full of disappointment. "I've spoiled you, Marina. And now you're using my love as a weapon against my own people. Three days. When you're ready to submit, you will contact me through the mind link and apologize. Only then will I let you out." But he didn't know the truth. Burning sage soothes a werewolf's spirit. But for a mermaid, it’s poison. The smoke scorched my lungs. The poison flooded my veins. I suffocated in that sealed room. And no one ever knew.

Meu marido, o Sr. Damien, me deu as pérolas de sua falecida esposa no meu aniversário e eu as usei no jantar. Meu enteado Leo, enfurecido, me jogou vinho tinto. Virei a piada da festa. — Vadia! — Ele falou com os dentes cerrados. — Acha que usar as joias da minha mãe te faz virar ela? Ele me encarou, seus olhos frios como gelo. E então ele gritou: — Saia da minha casa. Só que a mãe dele morreu quando ele ainda era um bebê. Eu que o criei. Alguém falou mal de mim pra ele. Disseram que eu matei a mãe dele. Agora ele acha que sou uma golpista que enganou o meu marido? Ele nunca me enxergou. Ele só enxergava o fantasma da Krista. Meu coração não partiu. Ele despedaçou. Eles não me amavam. Nunca se importaram. Então eu fui embora. Então por que, depois que finalmente fui embora, eles voltaram rastejando, implorando para eu voltar?

The year was 1934; I was twenty-two years old. I never thought of myself as anything special. I was barely making it through the Great Depression. There were many days I lived off of scraps. I was the king of odd jobs, just enough to get by. I had done it all, from being a field hand to a miner. It all changed one night when I stumbled across a traveling circus, Cirque du Lune. I had never seen such a sight. Instead of the usual menagerie, this circus was overrun with wolves. There was one performer who caught my eye; it was as if an angel had descended from heaven on a silk ribbon.

I was once the strongest warrior of the Cedar Pack. I was Alpha Killian’s fated mate. But Bianca, an omega who had always secretly loved Killian, saw her chance. While I was leading a team to claim new territory, she lured a pack of rogues to ambush me. They severely wounded me and left me for dead in a marsh. She sold our secrets to the rogues. Then she framed me for the slaughter that followed. Everyone thought I betrayed Killian and left. Killian believed it too. Bianca played the part of the gentle woman who saved him. She became his new mate. Three years later, my body was found. The moment Killian saw the pup inside me, his wolf went feral. His eyes bled red.

I sacrificed my legs to marry my cousin’s boyfriend, but they replaced me with a different bride on the wedding day!

For ten years, I bled for my fated mate, Damian. I forged him into an Alpha. I built his pack from nothing. But on the eve of our Blood Moon ceremony, he chose her. He made his first love, Isla—the one who abandoned him—the High Priestess. Not me. He thought I was just some rogue with a knack for magic. He thought he could drain my power, cast me aside, and claim Isla as his true mate. But he forgot who I am. I brokered the treaties. I negotiated the trades. I built the wards that kept them all alive. He and his pack hailed Isla as their savior. They groveled at her feet. They tried to get rid of me. Their plan? Force me to escort a demon to the Abyss of Exile. But he never knew my secret. I'm no rogue. I am the youngest daughter of the Alpha King. I am royalty. So I gave them what they wanted. I walked away. They only started to panic when my wards shattered and their lands were overrun.
