Barry B Benson

Istri dari mendiang sahabat suamiku mengunggah foto hasil pemeriksaan kehamilan. “Terima kasih atas spermamu yang memberiku kesempatan memiliki anak sendiri.” Aku melihat di kolom suami tertera nama suamiku, Benson. Lalu, meninggalkan komentar tanda tanya. Tak lama kemudian, Benson langsung meneleponku dan memarahiku habis-habisan. “Dia itu seorang janda dan hidupnya kesepian. Dia hanya ingin punya anak supaya ada teman di rumah, biar agak ramai. Masa kamu nggak punya sedikit pun rasa toleransi?” “Lagipula, Celvin itu sahabat baikku. Dia sudah meninggal, jadi wajar kalau aku menjaga istrinya. Ini namanya setia kawan, kamu mengerti nggak, sih?” Tak lama kemudian, janda sahabatnya itu kembali memamerkan foto sebuah apartemen mewah tipe penthouse di Sandona. “Untung ada kamu yang menemaniku, membuat aku kembali merasakan hangatnya sebuah rumah.” Melihat foto punggung Benson yang sedang sibuk di dapur, aku pun berpikir, sepertinya pernikahan ini memang sudah waktunya berakhir.

"What are you going to do?" I asked, panic and desire fighting for control. Dean grabbed my ankle and pulled me to the center of the seat, while Ryan pinned my wrists above my head with a single hand. Liam pulled my face toward his, forcing me to look into the wild, golden glow of his eyes. "Pray, little wolf," he whispered against my lips, as I felt the weight of all three of them over me. "Because until the sun rises, you’re going to find out that three Alphas don't just share a mate... they consume her completely." ---- They found me in the middle of the night, right as I was about to shift for the first time. Something deep inside me craved them desperately, but the fear that being with three Alphas was a fatal mistake consumed me. I ran.

And when everything begins to fall apart… she must choose— love, power, or survival.

I took a shortcut through the alley and watched Dante Marchetti put a bullet in a man like it was nothing. He saw my face. That was the end of my normal life. Within an hour I was in the back of his car being driven to an estate I had never seen before with gates that locked from the outside and a wardrobe full of clothes in my exact size waiting like someone had known I was coming before I did. He told me I wasn't a prisoner but a guest. He said people who wanted to find me were considerably worse than him and that his walls were the only thing standing between me and a conversation I wouldn't survive. Maybe he was right. The problem is the longer I stayed the harder it became to remember which one was true. Because the man who caught me in that alley wasn't the only version of him. There was another one that nobody else seemed to get to see. The one who stood alone in his dead mother's library looking tired in a way that had nothing to do with sleep. The one who had my cat brought to the estate because he heard me crying through a closed door and didn't know what else to do about it. The one who almost smiled when I threw a glass at his head. That version of him was the one I couldn't stop thinking about. I came here as a witness. I stayed as something else entirely. Somewhere between the locked doors, the candlelit dinners and the secrets we started sharing in the dark I stopped wanting to leave. The question was whether a woman like me could survive loving a man like him. I was about to find out.

Qi Abadi: Kebangkitan Wu Xuan Wu Xuan lahir dengan tubuh yang cacat—meridian rusak, tak bisa menyerap Qi, dan dicap sebagai beban Sekte Langit Timur. Dalam dunia kultivasi di mana kekuatan adalah segalanya, ia ditertawakan, diremehkan, dan didorong keluar dari jalan menuju keabadian. Namun takdir berubah saat ia menemukan jimat hitam kuno di Lembah Kabut Mati—artefak warisan Dewa Naga dan Pemurni Dosa. Dalam sekejap, tubuh lemahnya mulai berubah. Qi ungu kehitaman mulai mengalir, dan warisan para dewa yang telah lama terlupakan terbangun dalam dirinya. Dengan langkah pelan namun pasti, Wu Xuan melangkah di jalur tiga warisan: darah naga sejati, seni pemurnian iblis, dan jalan alkemis abadi. Di tengah persaingan antar sekte, kompetisi alkemis, dan kebangkitan Gerbang Dosa, Wu Xuan bukan hanya bertarung demi kejayaan pribadi. Ia membawa nyala kecil yang mampu membakar langit—mengguncang takdir para dewa, iblis, dan kultivator agung.
