“Are you trying to punish me? I…I don't know how many times I can apologize even if it wasn't my fault that I almost—” “I never asked you to. You do whatever you want, Niya, and I really don't care. Neither should you bother with what I do.” “You're hurt. You're hurt, Alex, and you're acting out. Don't worry we could talk this through. This isn't you.” I try to reach him again but he shoots me a deadly glare that pierces through my skin like a dagger. “Sure it is. You've just never seen me like this. You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you,” his brows grow together. “Now we’ve had enough of your drama. You'll find the papers and enjoy the party or use the fucking door.” He pulls away and my eyes cloud again. My ears and heart find it hard to process what is actually going on. The looks on their faces tell me it is awfully too late—I have already lost everything. “Niya, careful now,” my grandmother slowly tugs at my arm as if that will somehow make everything better. “We have guests. Don’t cause a scene.” A scene? I have literally just seen a whole movie, ma. ************* My name is Niya Kendrick. I’m 25, an author who once believed she had the perfect life. But how quickly can everything I love be stripped away in the blink of an eye? Or worse, what if the life, the family I’ve cherished has always been a blatant lie, a mere fragment of the truth? Now, I’m awake, and reality is far harsher than any dream.

Ia dinikahi, tapi tak dihargai. Pertemuan tanpa sengaja dengan seseorang yang pernah menyukainya di masa lalu membuat Cahaya Kirana jatuh dalam dosa terindah.

Léo, un jeune bibliothécaire urbain en quête de tranquillité, hérite d'une maison isolée en lisière d'une forêt ancestrale. Dès son arrivée, il est tiraillé entre deux présences mystérieuses. La nuit, il est hanté par les hurlements d'une meute de loups et par le regard flamboyant d'un solitaire qui rôde dans les ombres. Le jour, il est attiré par un chant envoûtant provenant du cœur des bois. Il découvre Kael, un Silvanien, esprit gardien de la forêt. Mi-homme mi-cervidé, couronné de bois et d'une beauté sauvage et sereine, Kael représente l'équilibre et la magie vitale de la nature. Leur connexion est immédiate, profonde et sensuelle. Leurs étreintes, souvent dans des clairières baignées de lune ou des sources chaudes magiques, sont une célébration de la vie : le corps de Kael s'illumine à son toucher, et leur passion fait fleurir la flore autour d'eux. Cependant, cet amour naissant est menacé. Elias, le loup-garou solitaire au regard de braise, voit en Léo son "âme sœur", la personne destinée à apaiser la bête en lui. Rongé par une sauvagerie qu'il peine à contrôler, son désir pour Léo est possessif, primal et dangereux. Léo se retrouve au centre d'un triangle amoureux déchirant, tiraillé entre la douceur envoûtante de l'esprit des bois et la passion sauvage et destructrice du loup.

Out on a holiday with my boyfriend, Jack, and my good friend, Eva, a catastrophe occurred. As the floods came, we waited for the rescue helicopter to come. As I fastened the safety rope, I noticed that my metal safety clip had been swapped for a plastic ring. Climbing up the rope ladder, Jack said nonchalantly, "Eva's luggage is heavy. She needs another safety clip, so I gave her yours. You can wait for the next rescue." I replied in a panic, pointing at the water level already past my chest, "But I can't swim!" Jack replied irritatedly, "Naomi, stop causing a scene! You're a strong swimmer, what's a little time in the water? Eva is my boss's relative. If something happens to her, my promotion is gone. Why can't you understand that?" "Which matters more? My life or her luggage?" I reached for the rope ladder when he kicked my hand away. "I've studied the waters. The flood won't rise so quickly. It will at most be at the level of your neck. You won't die!" I said nothing further. Watching the floods rise crazily, I quickly pressed my family's special alarm on my wrist.

"Why can’t you just leave me alone?" Valentina snarled, breath hitching as she shoved against the bark of the tree behind her. He stepped closer, eyes glowing with an untamed hunger. In one swift, possessive motion, he pinned her hands above her head, his lips grazing the pulse at her neck—dangerously close to the spot only a mate should touch. “Because, little wolf,” he whispered, his voice dark velvet against her skin, “you belong to me—and I’m done pretending otherwise.” _______ Stabbed by the man she once loved and betrayed by the friend she trusted most, Valentina was reborn in the ashes of heartbreak. No longer the obedient luna of the Shadow Crust pack, she rises from the shadows to reclaim her life—and her power. But home is no longer safe. Her pack is in ruins. Her father? Bewitched by a mysterious woman named Carmella. And fate? Cruel, as always. Because waiting for her in the heart of the storm is the man she should never desire—Andres Donovan, the cold and dangerously obsessive Lycan King… and her second-chance mate. He watches her with eyes full of secrets, speaks in riddles that echo of a past she can’t remember, and touches her like he’s been starving for centuries. But as enemies close in, alliances fracture, and war brews over the divine blood flowing in her veins, Valentina must decide: Will she fight fate again… Or surrender to the one man who could ruin her—or save her?

Bercerai dan menikah lagi, aku sudah lupa berapa kali aku dan Rangga rujuk dalam pernikahan. Dia pernah memperlakukanku seperti sesuatu yang berharga, tetapi kurang dari setahun setelah pernikahan kami, dia mengajukan perceraian pertama kami. Alasannya sederhana, Sarah akan kembali. “Sarah itu seorang tokoh publik,” katanya padaku. “Aku tak ingin ada yang mengira dia terlibat dengan pria beristri.” Selebritas tingkat rendah itu tidak punya apa pun kecuali pengorbanan ayahnya. Ayahnya dulu rela mati demi Rangga, halangi peluru demi dia, nyawa ganti nyawa. Dan karena itu, Rangga merasa berutang segalanya padanya.

Pertama kali kami berpisah, aku menenggelamkan air mataku dalam wiski dan terhuyung-huyung kembali ke rumahnya dalam keadaan setengah mabuk. Lampu di dalam terasa hangat, Rangga bersamanya. Sementara aku berdiri di luar, menggigil sepanjang malam. Kali kedua, aku mengikuti setiap gerak-geriknya—restoran, lelang, acara amal—hanya untuk ‘tak sengaja’ ketemu dengannya lagi. Kemudian, aku belajar lebih baik. Saat dia menyebut kata cerai, aku akan diam-diam mengepak koperku dan menghilang dari rumahnya. Cinta dan penghinaan telah membuatku terjebak dalam siklus putus-nyambung dengannya yang tiada habisnya. Namun kali ini, ketika Rangga menungguku di Kantor Catatan Sipil untuk menikah lagi, aku tak pernah muncul...

Divorciados y vueltos a casar. Ya ni sé cuántas veces Aaron y yo hemos pasado por lo mismo. Antes me trataba como si yo fuera lo más valioso para él, pero no había pasado ni un año de la boda cuando me pidió el divorcio por primera vez. La razón era sencilla: Vivian iba a regresar. —Vivian es una figura pública —me dijo—. No quiero que nadie piense que se está metiendo con un hombre casado. Esa actriz de cuarta no era nadie si no fuera por el sacrificio de su padre. Le dieron un balazo que iba para Aaron. Una vida por otra. Y por eso, Aaron sentía que le debía todo. Cada vez que Vivian volvía al país, Aaron se divorciaba de mí. Y cada vez que se iba, nos volvíamos a casar. La primera vez que terminamos, ahogué mis penas en whisky y volví a su casa a tropezones, medio borracha. Las luces de la casa se veían cálidas. Estaba con ella. Y yo me quedé afuera, temblando de frío, resistiendo la noche entera. La segunda vez, le seguí el rastro a todos lados; restaurantes, subastas, galas de beneficencia, solo para “encontrármelo por accidente” una y otra vez. Con el tiempo, aprendí. En cuanto mencionaba el divorcio, yo hacía mi maleta en silencio y me iba de su mansión sin hacer ruido. Mi amor y la humillación me mantuvieron atrapada en ese ciclo interminable de rupturas y reconciliaciones. Pero esta vez, cuando Aaron me esperó en el registro civil para volver a casarnos, no fui.
