Bakudo #99

The shewolves in Shadow Pack all said I was lucky. Alpha Erwin Keller had doted on me alone for eight years. However, the same werewolf who swore he would only ever want to be with me gave me two 'gifts' the day I brought him home to meet my mom, Katie Spencer, to discuss our marking ceremony. The first gift was tying Katie to a chair and having his Beta rip her clothes apart right in front of me. The second gift was deliberately opening the door and letting my dad, Felix Spencer, who had already lost his wolf spirit, run outside. There was pouring rain outside. Felix ran to the edge of a cliff and fell over. Katie was still tied to the chair. She watched Felix die right in front of her. She snapped the ropes like a mad wolf and jumped off the cliff to die with Felix. In a single night, I lost both my parents. I kneeled in a pool of blood and asked Erwin why he did all this. He pinched my chin and sneered. "Lara, did you really think I loved you? I came for revenge!" It turned out that during the territorial war ten years ago, his dad died saving mine, and his mom took her own life afterward. Erwin spent eight years carefully weaving a lie of love. It was all so I could experience what it felt like to lose my entire family. Later, Erwin kept me trapped by his side and tortured me. I tried to kill myself 99 times. He saved me all 99 times. He said we would torture each other until we grew old. What he didn't know was that ten years ago, when his wolf spirit was completely destroyed and he was barely alive, I was the one who begged an Alpha from another pack to place a curse on me so that he could live. In return, I only had eight years left to live. Now, I was seven days away from my own impending doom!

Stefan Wyatt adalah seorang yang berkepribadian tipe Alpha sepenuhnya. Memiliki.karkater yang sadar dan paham atas apa yang dia inginkan tidak mengizinkan orang lain mendikte atau mengatakan apa yang bisa dan tak bisa ia lakukan dalam hidup. Cinta bagi Stefan adalah 99% tentang uang. Wanita-wanita yang mengejarnya hanya bernilaikan seperti sebuah kurs mata uang yang bisa naik dan turun. Jika Stefan masih menginginkannya maka wanita tersebut masih bisa bertahan di sisi Stefan. Jika Stefan sudah tidak menginginkannya maka Stefan dengan mudah akan membuangnya. Audrey Smith, wanita mandiri yang terbuang dari keluarganya, tak pernah menyangka akan terjerat dalam cengkraman Stefan karena percintaan satu malam yang terjadi secara tak terduga. Akankah kehadiran Audrey bisa mengubah segala karakter Alpha Stefan yang selalu ingin mendominasi dalam hal apapun.

Suami CEO-ku berjanji padaku bahwa dia hanya akan mengabulkan 99 permintaan untuk mantan kekasih pertamanya yang terluka dan kehilangan ingatan. Namun, ketika aku selesai menghitung hingga permintaan yang ke-99 dalam hati, aku melihat suamiku berpelukan mesra dengan mantan kekasih pertamanya. Setelah itu, aku tidak lagi membuat keributan, membiarkannya merawat mantan kekasih pertamanya. Aku hanya meminta sebuah gelang kaki bayi darinya, sebagai kenang-kenangan untuk anak kami yang akan segera lahir. Ketika membicarakan tentang anak, ekspresi pria itu sedikit melunak. "Tunggu aku menyelesaikan urusanku. Nanti kita akan pergi ke toko perlengkapan ibu dan bayi untuk memilih barang-barang bersama." Aku dengan patuh menjawab, "Baiklah." Aku tidak memberitahunya bahwa seminggu yang lalu aku sudah meminta pengacara menyiapkan surat cerai. Pada saat ini, kami sudah selesai.

My husband, Damien Falcone, had 99 lovers. And I was the mafia princess men lined up to die for. The day we got together, everyone in our world took bets. They said we wouldn't last three months. But then , everything changed. For me, he wiped his phone clean, built a rose manor, and got down on one knee. Then, on our wedding night, he told me he wanted an open marriage. "Our bodies can play," he said. "But our loyalty? That's just for us." I agreed. Then came his 100th lover, Sophia Ricci. She betrayed our family in an arms deal. Almost got my father killed. But Damien protected her. He even moved her into our home. So, I did what any heartbroken mafia princess would do. I got drunk and woke up in another man's bed. I just didn't know that man was Damien's uncle.

In den nördlichen Werwolfklans gilt eine uralte Regel: Ein Alpha-Erbe darf niemals eine Verbindung mit einem menschlichen Mädchen eingehen. Doch Alpha Kellan Wolfe brach das Tabu – band mit mir eine Gefährtenverbindung. Um mit mir zusammen sein zu können, lehnte er sich offen gegen den Ältestenrat auf, erlitt 99 Peitschenhiebe und wurde drei Tage und Nächte vor dem Altar kniend bestraft. Als sein Hemd blutgetränkt war, lächelte er mich an und flüsterte: „Aelis, hab keine Angst. Ich will nur dich.“ Schließlich willigten die Ältesten ein, dass er mit mir fortgehen durfte – doch nur unter der Bedingung, dass er dem Rudel einen reinblütigen Erben hinterlassen müsse. Seitdem war „Warte“ das Wort, das Kellan am häufigsten zu mir sagte. Das erste Mal bat er mich zu warten, bis eine andere Wölfin von ihm schwanger würde. Also schlief er 33 Mal mit Josepha, bis sie schließlich sein Kind erwartete. Beim zweiten Mal hieß es erneut warten, denn es war eine Tochter – die Ältesten verlangten jedoch einen Sohn. Also schlief er weitere 99 Mal mit Josepha, bis sie wieder schwanger war. Als ich dachte, die Qual sei endlich vorbei, fraß ihre frisch gevierte Tochter plötzlich Eisenhut. Sofort bezichtigten mich alle der Tat. Als ich in die Kühlzelle bei minus zwanzig Grad gestoßen wurde, stand Kellan mit glutroten Augen in der Tür. „Ich sagte doch, warte noch...“ Sein Blick war eiskalt. „Du weißt, was Eisenhut für uns bedeutet. Warum wolltest du mein Kind töten?“ Ach ja ... sein Kind. Mein Herz schrie auf, als riss es mir jemand aus der Brust, während meine Nägel in die Handflächen bohrten. Als sich die Kühlzellentür abermals öffnete, lockerte ich meine blutverschmierten Hände. Diesmal wartete ich nicht länger.

Aku sudah delapan tahun menikah dengan suamiku, Rangga. Selama itu, dia sudah membawa pulang 99 wanita lain ke rumah. Sekarang, aku menatap gadis muda yang ke-100 di depanku. Dia menatapku dengan menantang, lalu menoleh dan bertanya, "Pak Rangga, ini istrimu yang nggak berguna itu ya?" Rangga bersandar santai di kursinya sembari menjawab, "Ya." Gadis muda itu berjalan ke arahku dan menepuk pipiku, lalu berkata sambil tersenyum, "Malam ini, dengarkan baik-baik gimana jadi wanita yang hebat!" Malam itu, aku terpaksa duduk di ruang tamu mendengarkan suara erangan dari kamar sampai fajar menyingsing. Pagi harinya, Rangga menyuruhku menyiapkan sarapan seperti biasa. Aku menolak. Sepertinya dia lupa, pernikahan kami hanya pernikahan kontrak. Dan hari ini, adalah tiga hari terakhir sebelum kontrak itu berakhir.

When she married Harry Slate, she was 22 years old while he was 32. During their three years of marriage, he showered her with endless tenderness and would give her anything she wanted. He said he could pick the stars for her if she wanted, even the moon if she so wished. He spoiled her like she was a precious treasure. The only thing was that he had insatiable demands every night. He would chuckle and refuse to let her go, even when she cried and begged for mercy. She knew Harry had a lot of money and a lot of love—and all of it belonged to her. The day her father passed away, she called him 99 times, yet he declined every single one. The next second, she received a photo taken by her best friend. [Celine, is this your man? I saw him hugging a woman on the streets of Palto.] After tapping the photo and seeing the man and the woman, Celine Quest felt as though she had fallen into an icy abyss. The man was Harry, and the woman was her aunt.

Eu e meu marido, Bernardo Santos, estamos casados há oito anos. Durante esse tempo, ele trouxe 99 mulheres pra casa. Agora, estou olhando pra centésima garota. Ela me encara com provocação e, virando-se pra ele, pergunta: — Sr. Bernardo, é essa aqui sua esposa inútil? Bernardo, jogado na cadeira, responde com preguiça: — É ela, sim. A garota caminha até mim, dá um tapinha no meu rosto e diz com um sorriso: — Hoje à noite, você vai ouvir o que é uma mulher de verdade na cama! Naquela noite, fui obrigada a passar horas na sala ouvindo gemidos. Na manhã seguinte, Bernardo, como sempre, mandou que eu fizesse o café da manhã. Mas dessa vez, eu recusei. Ele parece ter esquecido que nosso casamento é só um acordo. E hoje faltam três dias pra esse acordo acabar.

It's been five years since I started trying to win over Zachary Pierce. I even went so far as to have a child through IVF, hoping it would finally make him care. But no matter what I do, I can never reach 100 percent affection from him. It always stays at 99 percent. Sometimes it even drops lower. One day, exhausted and aching, I go looking for him. As I reach his room, I hear laughter coming from inside. "She still hasn't figured out the egg wasn't even hers. The moment the baby was born, Zach's affection score for her dropped to zero." "So what if she finds out? She should be grateful that her face looks so much like Yvonne's. Honestly, I'm done entertaining her. It's exhausting." At that moment, everything clicks. All the hope I've held onto, every sacrifice I've made, they were all just a joke. I turn away and say to the system, "End this for me. Send me to another world."

Emran yang sedang perang dingin denganku mengunggah sebuah postingan di media sosial. [ Seratus orang pertama yang like dapat uang karena aku baru putus! ] Dalam sekejap, sudah ada 99 repost dan like. Aku tahu dia sedang menungguku mengalah, seperti sepuluh kali sebelumnya, memohon padanya untuk menghapus postingan itu. Namun kali ini, aku langsung repost dan memberi komentar. [ Aku juga mau! ] Kemudian, aku memblokir semua kontaknya. Tiga hari kemudian, adiknya mengirim pesan. [ Tiket untuk pertunjukan kelulusan Kak Emran sudah disisakan buat kamu. Katanya asal kamu datang, dia mau memaafkanmu. ] Aku melirik tiket pesawat di atas meja, lalu membalas. [ Nggak sempat. ] Aku memang benar-benar tidak sempat, karena aku lulus seleksi dan diterima sebagai mahasiswa pascasarjana di Universitas Bajira. Malam itu juga, aku akan terbang untuk mendaftar ulang. Sejak saat itu, aku dan dia terpisah ribuan kilometer, tak pernah bertemu lagi.
