Direct Indirect Speech

I volunteer to be the mate of Carl Wood, the Alpha of the Nightfall pack, as a direct measure to resolve the conflict between our two packs. He marks me on a full moon night. His gaze is so fervent in that moment that I interpret his look as a genuine sign of his attraction. Carl personally leads the elite fighters across the border two years later. He grabs my head, making me witness the gruesome dismantling of my mother, father, and brother by the pack; his gaze is alight with vengeful satisfaction. "Did your father show mercy during our youth when he destroyed my pack, Aria? Do you truly believe that having you here is enough to make up for this vengeance?" Carl assumes the position as the most powerful Alpha of the northern region, with Selena Hall established at his side as his Luna. I am kept barely alive, imprisoned in the depths of the dungeon in the pack. If I attempt to end my life, Carl retrieves the bones of a relative from the cemetery and incinerates them right in front of me, bellowing with bloodshot eyes, "You're not allowed to die unless I allow you to, Aria!" I immediately cease all resistance after that. Carl's heart was pierced by a silver-tipped arrow during his escape years ago. I had to implore the dark witch to use dark magic and substitute my sound heart for his. There are only three days left before the poison completely takes hold of me.

When Harper wakes up that morning with a headache and prepares to get dressed to go to her little brother's graduation ceremony, she does not imagine that that same day, a handsome gentleman with an enigmatic look and a flirtatious smile will cross her path and that will dazzle her completely as soon as she sees him sitting in that subway car. One thing will lead to another, and in a matter of minutes, a pair of new acquaintances will surrender to their desires, in the bathroom of a subway station. For him, Daniel Ansdell, it will be one more experience, one of so many he has had throughout his life. He is a very confident man, with extensive experience in lovemaking arts, with a strong obsession for sex. He is uninhibited, cheeky and very direct when it comes to asking for what he wants. And although in the eyes of any lady he is perfect, he is not the type of man that a father would wish for his daughter. For her part, Harper is not a white dove, but she is not a veteran in love matters either. Her complicated life has led her to consider a couple of priorities. And having a romantic relationship is not among them. She is a fun woman, without prejudice, but with many responsibilities. Together they will have to face a series of emotions and feelings that will emerge in the midst of a whirlwind of passions. She will not be able to understand why that man awakens her most primitive side. It will be very difficult for him to recognize that she has taken over his thoughts and his will.

Bagaimana rasanya memiliki kekurangan tidak bisa berbicara alias speech impairment dinikahi laki-laki asing yang tampan dan gagah serta mapan, tentu bahagia. Semua telah kuberikan padanya sebagai wujud baktiku sebagai seorang istr berharap pernikahan ini kekal sampai maut memisahkan. "Besok, aku akan menikahi kekasihku." Diawali pengkhianatan suamiku keluar dari mulutnya, membuat baktiku sebagai seorang istri terhenti. Tidak ada istri yang mau di madu, begitupun aku. Pada akhirnya aku menyerah, memilih mengakhiri pernikahan ini tepat satu tahun terlewati. Namun siapa sangka semuanya berakhir bersamaan aku menjebloskan suamiku beserta mertuaku ke penjara.

Seumur hidup aku tidak bisa melupakan apalagi memaafkan perbuatan keji mereka. Lalu bagaimana bila mertuaku meninggal setelah mendekam di penjara, tentunya suamiku siap membalaskan dendam padaku bila bebas. Namun aku merasa bersalah pada anak yang tumbuh di rahimku, tak aku sangka hadir setelah semuanya berakhir. Sanggupkah diri ini bertahan membawa sebagian dari dia yang ku cinta sekaligus benci dititipkan-Nya padaku seorang diri? Disaat hanya ada rasa benci dan dendam di hati kami, sebagai orang tua. Lalu bagaimanakah bila kita bertemu dengan keadaan berbeda menghadapi masalah buah hati kami?

In 1989 an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America, killing over 30,000 people in less than four minutes. In the midst of utter devastation and chaos, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to the school where his son was supposed to be, only to discover that the building was as flat as a pancake. After the unforgettably initial shock, he remembered the promise he had made to his son: "No matter what, I’ll always be there for you!" And tears began to fill his eyes. As he looked at the pile of ruins that once was the school, it looked hopeless, but he kept remembering his commitment to his son. He began to direct his attention towards where he walked his son to class at school each morning. Remembering his son s classroom would be in the back right corner of the building; he rushed there and started digging through the ruins. As he was digging, other helpless parents arrived, clutching their hearts, saying: "My son!" "My daughter!" Other well meaning parents tried to pull him off what was left of the school, saying: "It s too late! They’re all dead! You can’t help! Go home! Come on, face reality, there s nothing you can do!" To each parent he responded with one line: "Are you going to help me now?" And then he continued to dig for his son, stone by stone. The fire chief showed up and tried to pull him off the school s ruins saying, "Fires are breaking out, explosions are happening everywhere. You’re in danger. We’ll take care of it. Go home."
