Daniel Padilla

The day before the semester began, my childhood friend Daniel Carter asked if he could borrow my private jet. Thinking he'd finally changed his ways, I agreed without a second thought. A moment later, he transferred a single dollar, calling it rent because he couldn't stand the thought of freeloading. The quirky amount said more than words ever could. I smiled and accepted it. On the first day of school, I kept things low-key, taking a cab back to campus. But when I arrived, there it was, my private jet parked right in the middle of the quad. The jet had been decked out in bubblegum pink, and students crowded around, their eyes shining with envy. My heart leapt. For once, I thought Daniel had finally figured it out. Beaming, I braced myself for his surprise. But as I drew closer, my smile froze. Sitting barefoot in the pilot's seat, my seat, was Clara West, the campus' queen bee.

Jennar tak pernah menyangka dunianya akan runtuh saat mengetahui Daniel—tunangan yang sudah menemaninya enam tahun—berselingkuh dengan bosnya sendiri. Hatinya remuk, harga dirinya tercabik, dan seluruh masa depan yang ia rencanakan hilang begitu saja. Berusaha melarikan diri dari luka, suatu malam Jennar mabuk dan pulang ke apartemen Alexa, sahabatnya. Namun di sana, ia justru bertemu Birru—adik sahabatnya yang baru kembali ke ibu kota. Berbahaya, menawan, dengan tubuh atletis dan tatapan tajam yang terlalu mudah membuat napasnya tercekat. Di bawah pengaruh alkohol dan hati yang limbung, Jennar tanpa sadar melewati batas. “Mbak.” tanyanya diantara perhentian. “Mau aku ajari gak?” Jennar menautkan alis. “Ajari apa?” “Aku harus ajarin kamu cara lupa nama Daniel dulu… sebelum kamu menggoda orang lain. Atau, minimal, sebelum kamu nyaris mencium aku lagi.”

Three years later, she is one of Sunridge Care Home's most dedicated workers the one who remembers every resident's favourite biscuit, who sings softly during the morning rounds, who gives love so freely to others that she has forgotten how to receive it herself.

But Daniel notices her the fierce way she advocates for her residents, the warmth she carries like a second uniform. Between demanding shifts, late-night phone calls with her mother in Nigeria, and the quiet wisdom of Gerald, an 81-year-old resident who sees Ada more clearly than she sees herself, love finds a way to clock in right on time. A story about care, connection, and the courage it takes to finally let someone take care of you.

Daniel Snider, an infamous player in the business world was known to reckless, impulsive, self-conceited and irresponsible.

I've been in love for six years, but my wedding has been called off 99 times by the man who claims to love me most, the mafia boss, Daniel Reed. The first time is on a private island off the coast of Sorellia. He promises me a secret wedding. But an hour before the ceremony, he gets a call saying that his new assistant, Emily Jennings, has been taken by a rival family. Without a word, he leaves me behind and sails off into the night. The second time, we're standing at the altar, exchanging vows. His underboss then leans in and whispers, "Emily's in trouble." Daniel tears off his boutonniere and walks out without looking back. Emily has been kidnapped again—this time, near the border district. He leads an armed raid that very night while I'm left behind, becoming the laughingstock in the mafia's VIP lounges. No matter when I schedule the wedding, Emily always ends up in danger. And Daniel always runs to her without hesitation. Eventually, I realize I will never win against the reckless Gen Z assistant who constantly drags him into chaos. After the 99th cancellation, I decide to break up with him and disappear from Valemont. I move out overnight, erase every trace of myself, leaving nothing behind. But I never expect him to go completely mad. He shuts down the ports, searches every villa, and unleashes his entire family's intelligence network just to find me. His eyes burn red like a wild animal on the edge of collapse. "Elara," he growls, "just give me one more chance."

By the third year of my marriage to Daniel Hawthorne, the war had already taken more than it ever returned, and this time it took his younger brother, Thomas Hawthorne. My sister-in-law, Eleanor, collapsed, and in the weeks that followed she tried to follow her husband into death— once with sleeping pills, once by the river beyond the officers’ quarters— only to be dragged back both times, each time clinging to me afterward as though I were the last thing keeping her grounded. I stayed with her, wiped her tears, and whispered that Thomas would want her to live, until the day she received the test results confirming she was three months pregnant, and the grief of losing her husband was slowly softened by the arrival of new life. I smiled too, believing grief had finally loosened its grip. That night, holding my own pregnancy test in my hand and thinking it was finally time to tell Daniel, I passed the study and heard his friend say quietly, “She’s carrying your child. You convinced the doctors to adjust the timeline so everyone would believe the baby belonged to your brother. Aren’t you afraid Margaret will find out?” Daniel didn’t hesitate. “She won’t,” he said calmly. “She loves me. She wouldn’t leave. I won’t let her know.” I didn’t step inside. I didn’t confront him. Instead, I opened the letter I had received weeks earlier— an official deployment order from the international medical corps, assigning me to a frontline war zone— and tapped Accept.

"The Rejected Mate" is a thrilling werewolf tale that takes readers on a journey of love, betrayal, and self-discovery. The story centers around a young werewolf named Amelia, who has always felt like an outsider in her pack. Overlooked and mistreated by her packmates, Amelia has never been able to shift into her wolf form, which only adds to her sense of isolation. Despite all of this, Amelia has always harbored a secret crush on her pack's alpha, Daniel.

It is during her journey that Amelia discovers a rival pack in the area, a pack that has been causing trouble for the neighboring towns. Amelia joins forces with a group of rogue werewolves who teach her how to shift into her wolf form, and she soon sets out to confront the rival pack and prove herself to be a worthy mate. However, when she finally confronts the rival pack's leader, she discovers that he is none other than Daniel's brother, Lucas. Lucas offers Amelia a chance to join their pack and become his mate, but she refuses, still determined to win back Daniel's affections. As tensions between the two packs escalate, Amelia finds herself torn between her loyalty to her old pack and her growing feelings for Lucas. Meanwhile, Daniel begins to regret his decision to reject Amelia and starts to see her in a new light. He becomes suspicious of his brother Lucas and the true intentions of their pack.

Tras la gran guerra entre las tres razas —humanos, dragones y lobos—, las razas del Dragón y del Lobo quedaron bajo una maldición: sus descendientes de sangre pura ya no podían heredar todo el poder. Para preservar la fuerza del linaje, en cada generación el Rey Dragón y el Rey Lobo debían tomar como esposa a una mujer humana portadora de la Bendición. El primero en engendrar un hijo híbrido haría que su raza dominara a los otros dos durante un siglo. En mi vida pasada, me casé con el Rey Lobo, Daniel Vázquez, famoso por su fama de caballero dulce y amable. Antes de que se cumpliera nuestro primer año de casados, di a luz a un hijo medio lobo, capaz de heredar el poder. Desde entonces, Daniel se convirtió en el soberano de las tres razas, y los lobos dominaron el mundo durante un siglo. Mi hermana mayor, Diana Manzur, en cambio, cegada por la imponente figura del dragón plateado, se casó con el Rey del Clan de los Dragones Plateados. Pero él era altivo e indomable; cuando perdía el control, la hirió en el vientre, provocándole un aborto y dejándola estéril para siempre. Diana me envidió con una rabia enfermiza. En una reunión familiar, me apuñaló sin pestañear. Cuando abrí los ojos de nuevo, había vuelto a la noche anterior a la boda concertada por las tres razas. Diana se me adelantó y entró en el cuarto de Daniel para acostarse con él. Ella también había renacido. Pero lo que no sabía era que, en realidad, Daniel era más frío que el hielo y que su mayor placer era torturar a los humanos indefensos.
