Crimson Tears

KRISTINA YSABELLE CRUZ, an orphan who grew up in Wysteria Hope Orphanage, struggled to survive after she was criticized for her lack of strength despite shifting at a young age of 16. She almost lost her sanity if not for the existence of her childhood friend, the same man who she loved for years. LAURENCE GABRIEL ALFARO, the son of the Crimson Snow Pack’s Alpha. A man who yearned for greater power. He has everything in life except for one thing—a mate, his luna. He took advantage of Kristina’s feelings for him; he brought her to his bed and had a one night stand with her. When nothing seemed to go wrong, an unfortunate event turned Kristina and Laurence’s life upside down. Will they still stay committed to one another if it turns out that they weren’t actually fated mates? Who would dare to fight against the Moon Goddess’ will? How would Kristina live without the presence of Laurence, the father of her triplets?

Five years ago, Sera Blackwood walked away from the only man she ever loved—and the pack that wanted her dead. Now she's back in Crimson Hollow, and Dante Silverclaw, the alpha who let her go, isn't the same broken wolf she left behind. He's harder. Colder. And he has exactly thirty days to find a mate before the pack council forces him to marry someone else. Someone who isn't his true mate. When a series of brutal murders rocks the supernatural community, Sera finds herself working alongside the man who still owns her heart. But the killer isn't just targeting random victims—they're hunting wolves who know the truth about why Sera really ran. As the blood moon rises, Sera must choose between protecting the secret that could destroy Dante's pack or claiming the second chance at love that might cost them both their lives.

"What if I am jealous?” he whispered in my ear. “What if I can’t stand that my father gets to be the one who beds an absolute goddess while I’m stuck being her stepson?"His scent surrounded me and there was nowhere for me to escape."I want you, Aria. I can’t stand the thought of you being my stepmother.”I felt his strong hands caress my back, reaching for the zipper of my dress and slowly beginning to undo it. Before I knew it, the crimson dress had fallen to the ground, revealing my body clad only in black lace lingerie...***Yesterday I was still an illegal healer, born and raised in the slums, struggling to pay rent.Today I am to marry the wealthiest Alpha in Romulus City.

"I can give you what you want, professor," I said, my gaze trained on him. He moved closer to me until my back hit the wall. Then his gaze dropped to my lips, his golden eyes taking on a crimson hue. "And what's that, Miss Nightbourne?" He said, his voice dropping to a heart-racing whisper, sending shivers down my spine. "Me." ... Drugged and forced into a premature heat, Clarissa ends up in bed with Jaxon, her fiance's uncle. And eventually, she discovers that she's pregnant. Betrayed, branded a traitor, exiled, broken, and alone, she soon discovers a dangerous secret-her bloodline is more than just powerful. She is the last heir of the Lunar Throne. To uncover her potential, she must attend the Werewolf Academy. At the Academy, she must fight for her birthright while facing ruthless enemies, dark prophecies, and the forbidden pull of her mate-now her professor. Will she be able to find the justice she so desperately seeks?

Both of them stood before me, both men whom I loved and my heart could not choose even if it wanted to. “You are mine” Alexander said, his eyes filled with longing and lust as he looked at me. “You have only ever belonged to me and you know it” Ethan said. The first drop of tears rolled down my face, how on earth did a woman love two men?

Azalea Steffani Leandra adalah seniman muda berbakat yang menjalani hidup sederhana dan teratur hingga suatu malam kejadian yang tak terduga pun terjadi, tanpa sengaja dan tanoa diminta ia menjadi saksi pembunuhan di galeri tempatnya bekerja. Pelaku pembunuhan itu adalah Lucas Zander Maxime, bos mafia dingin dan berkuasa dari keluarga paling ditakuti, The Obsidian Crown. Dalam dunia Lucas, satu aturan tak pernah dilanggar: saksi harus dihilangkan. Namun, aturan itu runtuh ketika Lucas teringat permintaan terakhir ayahnya yang sekarat—melindungi seorang wanita bernama Azalea, tanpa alasan dan tanpa penjelasan, hanya peringatan bahwa jika Azalea mati, semuanya akan hancur. Maka alih-alih membunuhnya, Lucas memilih menyandera Azalea, mengawasinya dari dekat, dan diam-diam melindunginya. Keputusan ini sekaligus ia manfaatkan untuk menolak perjodohan yang telah diatur keluarganya dengan Seraphina Caldwell, pewaris keluarga mafia ternama The Crimson Veil. Kepada dunia mafia, Lucas menyatakan ia memilih wanita biasa daripada wanita berdarah mafia. Namun kebenaran tidaklah seperti itu, perlahan semuanya terungkap dan jauh lebih berbahaya daripada yang dibayangkan. Jejak masa lalu, dokumen tersembunyi, dan nama yang dihapus dari sejarah keluarga Caldwell mengarah pada satu kenyataan mengejutkan: Azalea adalah pewaris sejati keluarga Seraphina Caldwell—putri yang selama ini dinyatakan hilang dan sengaja disembunyikan demi melindunginya dari dunia mafia. Lucas baru menyadari kebenaran itu setelah ayahnya meninggal, memahami bahwa perintah melindungi Azalea adalah amanat terakhir yang krusial. Seiring waktu, tugas perlindungan berubah menjadi ikatan terlarang yang dipenuhi hasrat, ketakutan, dan pengkhianatan. Azalea jatuh hati pada pria yang seharusnya ia takuti—penyelamat sekaligus ancaman. Sementara itu, The Crimson Veil tak akan menerima penolakan perjodohan dan siap menumpahkan darah untuk merebut kembali pewaris mereka. Di tengah kekerasan dan rahasia kelam, Azalea harus memilih: melarikan diri dari takdir, atau menerima kebenaran tentang dirinya dan pria berbahaya yang berdiri di sisinya.

"Whether you like it or not! You need to abort the baby! I don't need your fucking mercy Iris! You don't have to project yourself as a victim!" Lucas's eyes were flares as he stared at me deadly. He wants to slay me from his sight. He treats me as a trash. An unclean wife. "After you got everything? This is what you do? You'll abort the child? You're ruthless Lucas. You're a monster." I hardly hits him on his chest with my hands. I'm angry with him. He cheated on me. He made such a fool. He plays my heart. My eyes watered with tears as I hits him on his chest with my hands constantly. He wants to hurt him with all my might. I wants hurt with my hands to make him realize the truth. I couldn't help but hit him on his chest as I cried. What he did was painful. He thinks of me as a thing, that after he used and got everything from me, he just throws me away. My femininity meant nothing to him. He ruthlessly restrained my hands. My tears just fell down. I feels like my heart is being stabbed at this moment. I thought he was my happily ever after? But I was wrong! The man I adored was hurting me. He broke my heart after all. "Stop being a fool Iris. Nothing can blame but you. Because you wanted what happened to us. You are the only one that wants," His eyes widened at me with anger. His heart feels hatred for me. He ruthlessly choked me at my neck. I just looked up at him, catching my breathe. My tears are falling. "You need to abort the baby. You will do it to protect my identity Iris."

"I'm six weeks pregnant," spoke a woman behind him, caressed her flat abdomen. She looked at him coldly, tried to meet his gaze. "My child needs a father. He needs you, Klaud!" "Abort the baby," he coldly replied and looked deeply into her weary, sullen emerald eyes. He gulped, guilty of everything that had happened that night. "My reputation will be in vain, Dianna. I... I can't bear to lose the company I've built for so many years!" Tears flew into her cheeks as she listened to him. She never thought he was a type of cold-hearted man who was willing to abort his child, his own flesh and blood. Dianna turned her back at him and quickly wiped the tears from her eyes. Her heart shattered into tiny pieces as she walked away from the man who captured her heart since that night. "Forgive me, honey, your daddy is a jerk. We don't need him and he will never see you, never!" She whispered with bitterness in her voice and regretted for sleeping next to Klaud Anderson, an alpha and Dianna's possessive master

"So many promises, so many dreams. They all broke today," his voice resonated. "Your promise of loving me till the last breath of your life, your dream of becoming my wife and giving birth to my children….they all are shattering today, princesa," tears rolled down from her eyes at his words which made him wrap his arm around her waist. "Ssh …. don't cry. Maybe not love but I do feel sympathy for your tears as I had been living with you for so many days," he uttered while wiping her tears with his knuckles. "Besides, I am not that heartless so let's ease up your heartbreak a bit. Okay?" He uttered. "So not in front of this world but I can please you like a husband pleases his wife behind closed doors and…." He thrusted his face closer to hers. "On my bed…. just like last night where you let me devour every inch of your skin, princesa," She teared up more because that was the truth. She had actually surrendered her everything to him last night. Her heart, her soul, her body…. everything to him with no shield last night. She gave him the virtue of her body but only to let him taint it with his sin which she was believing as his love. Feeling him wrapping his arm more firmly around her waist, she found him untying the knot of her night robe. "So, how about I make you forget about your heartbreak by taking you to my bed?" he rasped in her ear, completely untying her night robe and his next words crushed her soul cruelly. "As I am sure that would be the best way to cure the pain of a prostitute's daughter and her deceitful love,"

"Who thought this day would come so soon when…." He uttered, peering into her grey eyes which were aggressively shedding tears of pain and hatred. "Aereza Kensley would get willing to submit herself to me so easily," a sinful grin formed on his face as his ember orbs roamed all over her naked body which she had stopped covering. Getting to his feet, he walked closer to her. Standing just before her, he clutched a tendril of her hair and witnessed that hatred blazing in her watery eyes for him. "Why this much hatred when you have willingly come here to give yourself to me, bellissima?' his hoarse voice turned dangerously amiable. He knew she had come here to submit herself to him just because of her grandmother's life and safety which was captured in his hand. "Get on my bed and spread your legs wide for me,"She clenched her jaw and squeezed her eyes shut, hearing him whispering those words in her ear. Fresh wave of tears filled her eyes. He watched her obediently getting on his bed and laid there while opening her bare and trembling legs for him. His grin turned more sadistic as his gaze devoured her nakedness before climbing on top of her. He found her eyes were tightly shut. "Won't you look at me with those fearless eyes of yours anymore?" He whispered against her mouth before clutching her jaw aggressively. Forcing her head upward, he finally saw her tears burning eyes glaring at him. "You will forget about this hatred of yours for me after this night, bellissima," he cooed against her mouth, pinning her both hands above her head. Their eyes remained fastened with each other, pressing their naked bodies against each other. "And this is just its beginning, mate,"
