Jangan lupa subscribe ya, biar enggak ketinggalan update bab selanjutnya Ada kalimat yang sampai hari ini masih kuingat. Kupikir rasanya sudah tertanam di benakku. Suatu hari aku mendengar ibu tengah bergosip di warung sayur, hingga kemudian aku datang untuk membeli beberapa bumbu masak yang kurang, wanita itu berkata dengan lantangnya sambil bekacak pinggang. “Duh saya punya menantu kayak sampah!” ucap ibu kala itu. sontak saja semua orang di sana tercengang, tetapi bukannya meminta berhenti. Mereka malah semakin memancing ibu untuk bercerita banyak hal. “Loh kok bisa, Bu? Eh, orang cantik gitu, dibilang sampah, bagaimana sih Bu!” “Alah cantik doang buat apa kalau nyapu enggak bersih, mana ngepel aja maju! Keinjek lagi dong lantainya! Haduh saya tuh tiap hari saya sampai pakai koyo, punya mantu bukannya tambah enak. Malah capek, rumah saya yang bersihin, masak aja sama saya. Dia mana bisa masak? Sekalinya masak malah nyuruh suaminya. Ih najis banget! Bisa-bisanya si Dadan nyari istri yang enggak bisa ngapa-ngapain. Padahal, saya berharapnya Dadan nikah sama Nining, dia juga cantik, pintar masak. Bisa nandur di sawah, angon bebek juga tuh lihat anakannya sudah besar-besar. Lah ini, malah dapet orang kota, saban hari kerjanya maen hp!”

"Hentikan semua ini, Evan! Kamu nggak bisa membodohiku." Grace berdiri di depan Evan, mengulurkan tangannya ke kanan dan kiri. "Aku tahu kamu sembunyiin sesuatu." Evan menyilangkan tangan di depan dada. "Jangan terlalu percaya diri. Dan tolong, tahu posisimu. Aku punya kekuatan untuk taruh orang lain menggantikan kamu." Di dalam ruangan yang sedikit remang itu, ia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya dan berbisik ke telinganya. "Atau, sebenarnya kamu lagi coba merayu aku? Berapa tarifmu untuk satu malam?" Setelah mendengarnya, Grace menampar wajah Evan seketika itu juga. Ia terdiam beberapa saat tidak percaya. Air mata mulai mengalir di pipinya. "Kamu jahat banget, Evan. Aku-benci-kamu," katanya, patah hati. Dia berbalik dari pria itu tanpa basa-basi lagi. Evan menangis juga, melihat sahabatnya pergi. "Maafin aku, Grace. Aku harus lakuin itu. Kita nggak bisa bersama," katanya lemah. ~~~~ Grace dan Evan menjadi teman baik setelah dia menyelamatkannya dan ibunya setelah tabrakan lalu lintas.

I've been in a coma for six months after a car accident. When I finally wake up, the first thing I hear is something sloppy in my hospital ward. My girlfriend, Quinn Simpson, is in here. She's kissing Chad Scott, her true love. Chad looks uneasy as he glances at me every few seconds. "Quinn, don't do this. I heard coma patients can still hear things. If Mateo hears us—" Quinn scoffs, completely unbothered. "So what? He's a vegetable. Probably won't wake up for the rest of his life. It's better this way, isn't it? Didn't you say you liked living on the edge?" They talk trash about me right in front of my face. I can even feel the contempt in Quinn's eyes. When the two of them finally leave, they don't notice the effort it takes for me to crack my eyes open. But the nurse who walks in next does. She sees it immediately and slams the emergency button. Once I start regaining strength, the first thing I do is send a message to my parents. "Mom, Dad, I'll do the arranged marriage."

I had just been discharged from surgery for a collapsed lung when my boyfriend took me to a childhood friend’s birthday party. At the party, he yanked off my ventilator and used it to inflate party balloons. My chest seized violently, as if my lung had been torn open. Justin Miller turned to Sophie Shaw proudly and said, “See? This is so much easier than blowing them up with your mouth.” I gripped the doorframe. I was gasping as my vision blurred. “Justin, I need that to survive! I can’t breathe!” His expression darkened. “Sophie was kind enough to invite you to her birthday party. Know your place! Besides, she put in a lot of effort for this day and spent hours preparing for it. Are you really going to ruin the celebration?” I struggled to speak through the pain. “Is her surprise more important than my life?” I extended a trembling hand toward the ventilator, but Justin waved it aside. He said impatiently, “I already checked. You won’t die from holding your breath for just a moment. Don’t be so selfish!” At that moment, pain stabbed me in the chest, and I used every ounce of my strength to press the emergency call button my brother had given me.

My son accidentally ate peanuts and suffered a severe allergic reaction. I threw away all the anti-allergy medication in the house and even hung up when he called 911 for help. I watched helplessly as his airway swelled shut and he suffocated to death. In my previous life, when my son struggled to breathe, I immediately drove him to the hospital. After an intense rescue effort, he survived, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, my mother-in-law stormed in, furious, accusing me of being a monster and blaming me for nearly killing him. I hurried to explain that he was fine. Yet, when I presented the doctor's report and discharge paperwork, I was horrified to discover that they had turned into a death certificate. My son, who had been resting safely in the ICU, was gone. He had somehow appeared in the morgue. Refusing to accept it, I checked the surveillance footage. However, the footage clearly showed that my son never left the operating room. Instead, it was just me, talking to myself the entire time. I had no idea what was happening. No one believed me. They locked me in a psychiatric hospital. In the end, as my condition worsened, a swarm of frenzied patients attacked me and tore me apart alive.

(Book 0.5 of Her Wolves series) (Lore) (Can read as stand-alone) (Steamy) Once upon a time, long ago, my family and I fell through a hole in the ground. It had happened during a war I could no longer recall. Trapped us in this new place that none of us wanted to be. Separated us from the people we used to love. This world was different. Divided. The inhabitants were primitive. Their designs all but useless. Thus we took it upon ourselves to help them. To guide them into a better age. I had lost track of how long I have been here. But my heart still yearned for home. No matter our effort, this place would never be it for me. Could never compare to the love I had for Gerovit. My husband. The man I needed above all else. Gone for eternity. Until I stumbled upon a humble man from humble origins. He reminded me of the wolves I loved so much. Reminded me that I needed a pack to survive. Sparked something in my chest I had long since thought dead. Axlan. A bull-headed beast that fought me at every turn. Until he was no longer a beast… But the first werewolf on earth. I am Marzanna. The goddess of spring. The creator of life. But you'll better understand me when I say this. I am the goddess all wolves worship and this is how my people came to be.
