As the son of Zephyr and Avani, Ancalagon is the last pure dragon. Because of his time in a scientist’s laboratory, he not only has the air and earth elements, but also fire and water, making him the only dragon in history to have all four elements. However, the scientist created a flaw in Ancalagon's DNA. If he isn’t claimed by his mate, he could lose his humanity. Eliane is the daughter of Oliver, the scientist who tortured Ancalagon. She, herself, was experimented on, never seeing the outdoors until the night the dragons came for Ancalagon. When Ancalagon tried to rescue her, Oliver snatched her away and for months he tortured her in the same way that he'd tortured Ancalagon. Eventually, Eliane believed that Ancalagon left her to suffer at her father's hands. When she finally escapes, Eliane runs, trying to hide from all supernaturals. She begins having blackouts, large periods of time where she has no recollection of what happens to her. It’s during one of these blackouts, that she meets Snow, another dragon. They become friends and begin helping each other, protecting each other from the bad hybrids who are hunting them. When Snow shifts, telling Elianne that his name is Iniko, he leaves a strange mark on her, his image over her heart. It forges a deeper connection between them and when the bad hybrids capture him, she runs to the elemental dragons for help. What will happen when Ancalagon realizes that his brother has been claimed by his mate? How will Eliane react when she realizes that Ancalagon has been searching for her all this time. Will she be able to heal his broken DNA and help him regain his humanity, or will she leave him, breaking what's left of Ancalagon?

The world plunged into a new Ice Age. As the frozen apocalypse spread, 95% of humanity perished. In his first timeline, Cyrus Knovell's kindness cost him everything. The people he had helped betrayed him and left him for dead. Fate, however, granted him a second chance. He awakened one month before the world froze, gaining a dimensional ability that let him store anything without limit. Now he hoarded supplies by the billions and built a fortress no one could breach. While others shivered, starved, and traded their dignity for a morsel, Cyrus lived in comfort. The desperate came begging. The manipulative vixen: "Cyrus, let me into your shelter, and I'll be your girlfriend, okay?" The spoiled rich heir: "Cyrus, I'll give you all my money for just one meal!" The greedy neighbors: "Cyrus, you shouldn't be so selfish. You should share your supplies with us!" Cyrus remembered their betrayals. Lounging in his steel fortress and savoring his private paradise, he sneered, "Your survival has nothing to do with me. I'd rather feed the dogs than feed you."

It was the apocalypse. A zombie apocalypse. We should've been running for our lives, but my girlfriend, Yvonne Brown, refused to. She wanted to buy as much time as she could for her incompetent childhood friend, Yves Claude, to hop into the last helicopter that would take survivors away. But the retreat was our group's only way to survive in this apocalypse. Yves was not showing up anytime soon. I had no choice but to knock her out and drag her into the chopper. And Yves, the one she could never seem to forget, died in the swarm of undead. I, however, survived thanks to what I did. Yvonne and I lived happily in a safe zone. And then that fateful day came. I was going to take over the territory and lead humanity on an attack against the zombies. The night before that decisive strike, Yvonne spiked my water with anesthetics. When I was caught helpless, she tossed me into the horde of zombies. The swarm of undead tore my flesh open, and the pain killed me. Yvonne? She stood on the wall coldly, a sneer decorating her lips. "Yves could've lived, but you took that chance away from him! You selfish monster, you killed Yves! I will make you suffer what he suffered! You'll pay for it with your life!" Death took me, but it tossed me all the way back to the day of the retreat. The day Yvonne adamantly insisted on waiting for Yves. Well, if she was so happy to live through a world like this with her friend, who am I to say no? I would grant her that wish, even if she would end up as zombie food.

"Kau pikir aku mau menjadi istrimu?" Rose tertawa mencemooh. "Not in milions time." "Ya, Rose. Kau akan menggantikan Rosa! Aku tidak butuh dirimu menjadi istriku karena aku hanya perlu kau berdiri di sana menggantikan Rosa!" Ucapan Robert penuh penekanan. "Kau tahu apa yang terjadi jika menolakku? Pertama, aku akan menjaukan Kenzie dari jangkauanmu, kedua, aku akan membuat Romeo ayahmu di deportasi, ketiga, aku akan menjual dirimu ke rumah bordil!"

จาก 'ลูกหมาตกขี้โคลน' ที่เขาว่าในวันนั้น สู่ 'เมียเด็ก' ที่เขาทั้งรักทั้งหวงในวันนี้

Pada kehidupan sebelumnya, demi sahabat baikku, abang dan calon suamiku bersekongkol untuk menghancurkan perusahaanku. Ketika melihat aku yang gulung tikar berdiri di tengah hujan deras, mereka berdiri di samping sahabat baikku sembari mentertawakanku. “Rose, kamu seperti seekor anjing saja!” Saat aku membuka mataku kembali, aku kembali ke acara tender proyek pada tiga tahun silam. Awal berdirinya perusahaan pada kehidupan sebelumnya, abang dan calon suamiku memperingatiku. Mereka tidak mengizinkan aku memanfaatkan kekuatan Keluarga Tiara dan Keluarga Qindara. Katanya, perbuatanku tidaklah adil bagi orang lain. Namun di balik itu, mereka justru menggunakan berbagai alasan untuk memberikan proyek kepada sahabat baikku demi mengembalikan senyum manisnya. Saat aku terlahir kembali, aku melihat mereka berdua sama seperti kehidupan sebelumnya, diam-diam mengambil proyek yang seharusnya menjadi milikku kepada sahabat baikku. Akhirnya aku pun telah patah semangat. Sewaktu mereka mengetahui kabar aku hendak ke luar negeri, abang dan calon suamiku memasang kembang api semalaman demi merayakan akhirnya terbebas dari beban sepertiku. Namun pada acara tender Grup Arkava pada tiga tahun berikutnya, aku menggunakan statusku sebagai istri presdir berpidato di atas panggung. Kedua mata mereka berdua malah memerah.

Aku terpaksa menikahi pacar adikku yang sudah berbadan dua sebagai bentuk tanggung jawab keluarga, karena adikku meninggal seminggu sebelum pernikahannya. Kuhina, kumaki-maki bahkan kusiksa mental dan batinnya, tak kuturuti ngidamnya karena dialah penyebab semua kekacauan terjadi. Kupikir dia hanya akan menangis dan tak berani padaku, tak kusangka dia justru ....

I’d just left a creative meeting when a TikTok video popped up on my feed, slamming my company. The title: "Stay Away! This Austin startup is incredibly cheap. The perks are a joke." The video showed off the pour-over coffee from Austin's hottest independent cafe and pastries from a top-tier French bakery. The same ones I’d just had my assistant, Sam, hand out. I frowned. In the company's Slack channel, I tagged everyone. "@here Any suggestions for this afternoon's Happy Hour?" Leo, the new Gen-Z intern, replied instantly with a voice note. “Asher, with all due respect, these snacks with gluten and dairy are so unhealthy.” “A truly visionary company would hire a private chef to customize raw, vegan bites for everyone's dietary needs. That's what respect looks like.” I laughed. It was an angry laugh. The company's daily snack budget was $25 per person. For an Austin startup, that was top of the line. I typed back: "Since it's impossible to please everyone, the snack perk is canceled. I'll convert the budget into a cash bonus for all of you." Less than five minutes later, the TikTok caption was updated. "UPDATE: Y'all, I can't make this up. I made a suggestion about dietary inclusivity, and my toxic boss just canceled all the perks! This is how toxic bosses act. Can't handle a single piece of feedback!"
