Feral Hearts Game

The night of our engagement party, I found my best friend playing a dangerous game with my fiancé. The casino on our family's private yacht was where I found them. Clara was sitting on the lap of my fiancé, Killian, the Falcone family heir. Killian held a sharp family dagger, its tip snagging the thin strap of her dress. The blade traced a path along her collarbone. The slightest pressure would snap the silk. It was a dangerous, intimate scene. I stepped forward with a frown, but Killian just scoffed. "It's just a little game to liven things up, Principessa. Don't be so tense." Clara's eyes narrowed, her voice dripping with false sweetness. "We're just playing a traditional family game. The knife game. You don't mind, do you, sweetie?" I was about to speak, but Killian's expression hardened. "We just got engaged and you're already trying to control me?" So I said nothing. I just drew my custom pistol from its holster on my thigh. "So, it's a game," I said. "Then let's play for something real."

At twenty-two, Danielle Hartford struggled to manage the matrimonial firm she inherited from her mother. A surprise email from Vincent Cromwell requesting her agency for their services seemed like the blessing she needed. However, when the seventy-two-year-old Cromwell demanded a bride for himself, Danielle was disappointed. She had expected it to be for his drooling hot grandson, Knox Zachary Cromwell, the one she nurtured a crush on. Knox tried everything in his power to stop his grandfather from getting married to produce an heir. When nothing worked, he proposed a deal to Danielle to give him a male heir in return for a huge amount of money. Her love for him, her need to save her business, made her give in. However, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Soon, Vincent Cromwell married against his grandson's wishes. Thinking it was an underhanded ploy, Knox destroyed Danielle’s business. Danielle left the city forever with her daughter, handing him his male heir. Would Knox ever realize what he had done?

I transmigrated into a dating-sim otome game where I was supposed to romance a soft, fragile male lead. I had finally pushed him onto the bed and was just about to make my move when the long-missing system finally popped back online. [Host, I sent you to the wrong game. This is a horror game.] [The man you’re bullying right now is the horror game final boss.] I lifted my head and met a pair of blood-red eyes staring straight at me. My smile froze. “Um… you look a little tired. Maybe we should… continue this another day?” He smiled back, calm and terrifying. “I’m not tired. Go on.”

She walked away from her cold, loveless marriage... only to discover she carried the one thing they would stop at nothing to claim. Alina Hart never imagined her life would become bound to the Vaughn dynasty, Atheria’s most powerful family, where legacy mattered more than love.

By evening, a betrayal had a name: Natasha Fairfax, the socialite his mother loved, ready to take the place Alina never really had. Alina left, vanishing into the town of Marlowe. She soon learned she hadn't just left a husband; she was pregnant with the heir the Vaughn's would one day come for. Six years later, she returns. She is no longer the discarded wife, but a strong woman with her own power, her own name... and a secret that could destroy their empire. The Vaughn's want their legacy. Sebastian wants the truth. Natasha still wants her place. Alina wants only one thing: to protect what is hers. Their dynasty demanded an heir... she became their reckoning.

“Kau sudah tiba?” tanyanya. Perempuan itu adalah sosok Claretta yang sangat Altair rindukan. “Altair?” ucap Altair. Perempuan itu tertawa kecil dengan menutupi mulut dengan tangannya. “Terdengar aneh jika seseorang memanggilku dengan namaku sendiri,” ujar Claretta. “Mungkin banyak pertanyaan yang akan kamu lontarkan kepadaku,” ungkap Claretta, “tapi sebelum itu tolong Altair, terbiasalah dengan tubuhmu yang baru, aku sudah lelah dengan tuntutan sebagai penerus pengendali Mana, yang aku inginkan hanya bagaimana rasa memiliki seorang ibu.” sambung Claretta. Claretta menengadahkan wajahnya ke langit. “Kau pasti tahu banyak informasi tentang duniaku sekarang karena kau adalah orang yang cerdas dan tangguh,” ujar Claretta lagi melihat wajah Altair. Wajah mereka saling menatap Altair tidak bisa membalas perkataan Claretta Altair yang merasa tidak adil dengan pertukaran tubuh seenaknya yang dilakukan dewa kepada mereka berdua. Muncul perasaan iba di dalam benak mereka masing-masing seperti mengerti rasa sakit, penderitaan mereka dan kesedihan. Claretta mengambil kedua tangan Altair, air matanya tidak bisa dibendung. Dengan tersenyum Claretta berkata,”Mungkin karena aku sudah berada di tubuh seorang wanita jadi perasaanku menjadi lebih sedikit sensitif.” “Maukah kamu merelakan hidup kita yang sekarang?” tanya Claretta dengan harap. Altair menggenggam tangan wanita kecil itu, kini hati Altair menjadi goyah karena sebelum dirinya bertemu dengan pemilik asli tubuh Altair, dia berniat untuk memukul kepala orang tersebut yang dengan sesuka hati meminta kepada dewa untuk menukarkan tubuhnya tanpa izin. Angin sejuk berhembus, menerbangkan beberapa kelopak bunga di sekitar mereka mengibaskan rambut panjang milik Claretta. “Ternyata, aku sangat cantik.” batin Altair. Altair meletakkan tangannya di atas kepala Claretta dan membelai kepalanya seraya berkata, “tidak apa-apa.” ucap Altair dengan tenang. Akhirnya mereka saling mengikhlaskan satu sama lain dan memutuskan untuk menjalani kehidupan mereka sekarang masing-masing, mereka terpisah oleh sebuah cahaya. “Aku akan menjaga ibumu Altair sebagaimana ibuku sendiri karena aku sangat menyayanginya.” ujar Claretta yang hanya terdengar suara.
