Big Spender In A Busted Game

I transmigrated into a dating-sim otome game where I was supposed to romance a soft, fragile male lead. I had finally pushed him onto the bed and was just about to make my move when the long-missing system finally popped back online. [Host, I sent you to the wrong game. This is a horror game.] [The man you’re bullying right now is the horror game final boss.] I lifted my head and met a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at me. My smile froze. “Um… you look a little tired. Maybe we should… continue this another day?” He smiled back, calm and terrifying. “I’m not tired. Go on.”

Seorang gadis dari golongan rakyat jelata yang berambisi menguasai jantung Kota Burgundi. Ketika semua meremehkan justru sepak terjangnya membuat sekelilingnya tercengang. Tetapi sayang seribu sayang ketika dunia sudah ada dalam genggaman, Dewi Ambigu melupakan perjanjian sucinya. Sebuah rahasia besar yang harus ia jaga justru di anggap sebagai bualan dan omong kosong belaka. Tamak dan serakah menjadikan keris pusaka miliknya pergi mencari pemilik warangkanya.

“Kau sudah tiba?” tanyanya. Perempuan itu adalah sosok Claretta yang sangat Altair rindukan. “Altair?” ucap Altair. Perempuan itu tertawa kecil dengan menutupi mulut dengan tangannya. “Terdengar aneh jika seseorang memanggilku dengan namaku sendiri,” ujar Claretta. “Mungkin banyak pertanyaan yang akan kamu lontarkan kepadaku,” ungkap Claretta, “tapi sebelum itu tolong Altair, terbiasalah dengan tubuhmu yang baru, aku sudah lelah dengan tuntutan sebagai penerus pengendali Mana, yang aku inginkan hanya bagaimana rasa memiliki seorang ibu.” sambung Claretta. Claretta menengadahkan wajahnya ke langit. “Kau pasti tahu banyak informasi tentang duniaku sekarang karena kau adalah orang yang cerdas dan tangguh,” ujar Claretta lagi melihat wajah Altair. Wajah mereka saling menatap Altair tidak bisa membalas perkataan Claretta Altair yang merasa tidak adil dengan pertukaran tubuh seenaknya yang dilakukan dewa kepada mereka berdua. Muncul perasaan iba di dalam benak mereka masing-masing seperti mengerti rasa sakit, penderitaan mereka dan kesedihan. Claretta mengambil kedua tangan Altair, air matanya tidak bisa dibendung. Dengan tersenyum Claretta berkata,”Mungkin karena aku sudah berada di tubuh seorang wanita jadi perasaanku menjadi lebih sedikit sensitif.” “Maukah kamu merelakan hidup kita yang sekarang?” tanya Claretta dengan harap. Altair menggenggam tangan wanita kecil itu, kini hati Altair menjadi goyah karena sebelum dirinya bertemu dengan pemilik asli tubuh Altair, dia berniat untuk memukul kepala orang tersebut yang dengan sesuka hati meminta kepada dewa untuk menukarkan tubuhnya tanpa izin. Angin sejuk berhembus, menerbangkan beberapa kelopak bunga di sekitar mereka mengibaskan rambut panjang milik Claretta. “Ternyata, aku sangat cantik.” batin Altair. Altair meletakkan tangannya di atas kepala Claretta dan membelai kepalanya seraya berkata, “tidak apa-apa.” ucap Altair dengan tenang. Akhirnya mereka saling mengikhlaskan satu sama lain dan memutuskan untuk menjalani kehidupan mereka sekarang masing-masing, mereka terpisah oleh sebuah cahaya. “Aku akan menjaga ibumu Altair sebagaimana ibuku sendiri karena aku sangat menyayanginya.” ujar Claretta yang hanya terdengar suara.

Dalagita pa lamang ang maganda at matalinong si Helena Montenegro nang maulila siya sa mga magulang. Ganoon pa man, hindi siya pinabayaan ng abuela niya na si Doña Amanda. Itinaguyod siya nito ng buong pagmamahal. Itinuro nito sa kan'ya ang lahat ng aspeto sa buhay kaya naman naging matagumpay si Helena sa halos lahat ng larangan. Isa lang ang hindi niya nagawang pagtagumpayan. Ang usapin ng kan'yang puso, na nalinlang ng lalaking pinagtiwalaan niya. Iniwan siya nitong nagdadalangtao. Pero hindi papayag si Helena na malugmok siya sa kabiguan lalo at magiging dahilan iyon ng kamatayan ng lola niya. Humanap siya ng lalaking mananagot sa kalagayan niya. Kahit bayaran niya ito ng malaking halaga. At iyon ay si Markus Angeles. Isa sa kan'yang ordinaryong empleyado lamang. Si Markus na tinanggap ang alok ni Helena hindi dahil nasilaw siya sa kaginhawahang inalok nito kun'di dahil sa dahilang matagal niya nang minamahal ang babaeng amo. Nagsama sila sa iisang bubong. Hanggang isang araw, natuklasan ni Helena na umiibig na rin pala siya kay Markus lalo at natuklasan niya na hindi siya nagkamali ng pagpili rito. Ngunit hindi nila iyon mabibigyan ng katuparan. May bumalik at dumating na hadlang. Pilit na hahadlang sa kaligayahan nila ang unang pag-ibig ni Helena. At may nakahanda ring sumilo sa puso ni Markus. Sa huli, mananaig ang pag-ibig nila sa bawat isa. At iyon ang magsisilbi nilang kalasag laban sa mga hadlang na pilit pinaglalayo ang kanilang mga puso.

The White Crescent Pack is forever growing and progressing, and we're in dire need of a Luna and an heir. One of you will lead beside me, and we'll create a better tomorrow. May the Moon Goddess watch over you, and keep you safe." *** Alpha Noah Harvey—my godfather, my protector, the man who’s loved me in every way but the one I’ve always wanted. He’s fifty. I’m turning eighteen. And I’ve been keeping a secret for years… one that ignited the moment I learned the truth: He entered the Luna Games. Not as a spectator. As the grand prize. Centuries-old and brutal, the Games are a savage tradition where unmated she-wolves fight in deadly trials for the right to claim an Alpha. I should’ve run. I should’ve looked away. Instead, I signed up the night before my birthday, without my parents’ blessing and with only one goal: Survive. Win Him. Prove I belong beside him. When our eyes locked at the ceremony, everything stilled. One whispered word cracked through the silence: “Mate.” Now I’ll have to bleed and battle my best friends to earn what fate has already declared mine. Because love isn’t a choice anymore...it's war. Read The Luna Games now if you love forbidden desire, deadly trials, and a heart-stopping age gap romance that breaks all the rules. "The Luna Games" is the sequel to "The Accused Mate" but can be read as a standalone!

How I loved to piss her off! For some reason, it only aroused me even more, and, most importantly, her too. Parents always said that meeting your mate is a gift from heaven. Only no one warned that it could become a drug for me. And I certainly didn’t expect that the girl would perceive our connection in a completely different way, and if I strive to be closer, then she only tries to run away from me. Silly, you can't run away from the wolf, he will catch up sooner or later anyway... well, that's even more interesting. Hunting has always been one of my favorite pastimes.
