Dr. Raka Permadi, seorang sejarawan jenius, telah mengubur masa lalunya dalam arsip kuno, lari dari bayang-bayang ayahnya, seorang dalang legendaris yang kematiannya diselimuti misteri. Namun, ketika serangkaian pembunuhan brutal terjadi di Yogyakarta—setiap korban ditata menyerupai adegan tragis dari wiracarita Mahabharata—Raka dipaksa keluar dari keheningannya oleh Kompol Kirana, seorang detektif pragmatis dari Jakarta. Saat Raka menyadari gaya pembunuhan ini adalah tiruan sempurna dari pakem sang ayah, penyelidikan ini berubah menjadi pencarian kebenaran personal.

Namun, Raka segera menemukan bahwa ini bukanlah sekadar pembunuhan. Sang Dalang sedang menyiapkan panggung untuknya, sebuah babak final di mana dirinya harus memilih: menjadi pahlawan dalam lakon mematikan ini, atau menjadi korban berikutnya.

  I spent my whole life trapped in a world of violence, abuse and death--chained to my father’s brutal empire. But when my brother was ripped away from me, I did the one thing I should’ve done a long time ago.   I ran.   I thought I had escaped the nightmare, and finally got to live a normal life. But it all came crashing down the day I was taken by the merciless Mafia king-- Vincenzo Vittore. My father took something precious from him, and now, Vincenzo wants nothing more than to destroy me as vengeance.   Held captive in his mansion, I’m a pawn in his twisted game of revenge. Escape feels impossible, and the worst part? I find myself drawn to the man I should hate with every fiber of my being. He ignites something forbidden in me, something I’m terrified to name.   As secrets from both our pasts surface, I realize there’s no running from this life--Because it’s deeply rooted in my blood.   And the only way out is through death.

Caught between terror of the monster inside him and the risk of not being in a pack, Nate has no choice but to rely on the one person he should presumably fear most: Kieran, the pack’s brutal future Alpha.

Especially not the two loud, tattooed, dangerously ripped football gods who just turned my quiet neighborhood into a nonstop party zone. I'm the President's daughter. Prim, polished, and always under the microscope. One wrong move and the entire country explodes. So dating even one filthy-mouthed, possessive athlete would be political suicide. But craving both of them? Letting their rough hands and cocky smirks shatter every rule I've lived by right in the middle of my father's brutal re-election campaign? That's not just a scandal. That's me signing up to be royally, deliciously, twice as screwed. NOTE: This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real events, people, or places is purely coincidental.

I'm Kennedy, the pack's recognized Luna, and Tyler's fated mate—or so I foolishly believed. That day, the pregnancy test burned in my palm as I traced the tiny life growing inside me, my heart swelling with secret joy. But that joy turned to ash outside the club on that rainy night. Brenda's back—the woman who saved his life, the one he chose without hesitation over me. He grew colder by the day, letting her friends call me a FAKE LUNA to my face, even saying he wanted to reject our mate bond. I clung to my pregnancy like it was my last shred of dignity, terrified that if I spoke up, all I'd hear was his icy command-- "Abort it." He left me soaking in the rain, ignored me when I was burning with fever, and let me be humiliated, let me be pressured. But he forgot— I'm Kennedy, not some fragile vine that bends to his will. He'll pay the most brutal price for that stupid mistake!
