"Kali, what have you seen?" The other warriors crowded around Kali and I. They were craning their necks to catch a glimpse of the captive. They had never seen such a being before. "Destruction looms over us all! He must be killed. The warrior must be killed." Kali rushed to get the blade but I grabbed her arm and stopped her. "No. In as much as we are a warrior tribe of women. We are not savages. We must investigate this." "Suprema Sequoia, please you must listen to me. No good can come out of this. Men can never be trusted. Their hearts are full of darkness and evil. They poison and corrupt the ways of nature. He must die!!!" I was confused. I could only grasp one strange word from all Kali had said. "Men? What do you mean by men?..."

Di dalam bus tidur saat perjalanan pulang di hari liburan, aku yang memang memiliki hasrat tinggi tidak tahan ingin memeluk boneka silikon khusus yang baru aku beli untuk memuaskan diri. Setelah kembali dari toilet, lampu bus sudah dimatikan dan seluruh kabin gelap gulita. Aku meraba-raba masuk ke dalam tirai ranjangku. "Jangan di sana. Kamu terlalu besar. Nanti rusak." Tanpa banyak bicara, pria itu mengangkat kakiku di bahunya. Benda panasnya yang besar menekan bagian intimku. Aku menggelengkan kepala tidak karuan, napasku tersengal-sengal, air mata dan liurku bercampur menjadi satu, menetes ke seluruh lantai. "Aku salah. Cepat masukkan." Benda keras itu langsung menusuk ke dalam. Aku sampai memutarkan bola mata karena terlalu nikmat. "Kalau terus dipegang, ini akan berakhir sampai penetrasi penuh."

I've been married to my Mafia Boss husband for 15 years. When we first got married, he couldn't even afford a ring, but I didn't care; I loved him. I hid my identity. I secretly used my family's influence to help him build his empire from scratch, and I even bore him two children. His adopted sister always mocked me, calling me an old-fashioned housewife and saying I wasn't good enough for him. To avoid embarrassing him, I always endured it. Until our 15th anniversary, because both me and his adopted sister wore red dresses, he told me to stay in the kitchen: "Sofia's right. That red doesn't suit you. Don't come out until the banquet actually ends. Stay in the kitchen. I don't need the Dons from New York seeing you and getting the wrong impression." I was completely heartbroken and didn't argue anymore. I dialed a number I hadn't made in 15 years: "Principessa?" "It's me," I said, my voice steady. "Tell those old fossils on the Council... Isabella Corleone is coming home."

I grew up with a plan. I already knew from the very beginning that my whole life would revolve around reclaiming the territory that rightfully belonged to my father's name. I wouldn't stop until I got it back, even if that meant playing a game of seduction with Alpha Maddox, the ruthless Alpha of the Dark Forest Pack, to get my way in. But what I didn't see coming was Xander Trevino — Alpha Maddox's brother and his new Beta. Xander was cold, dismissive, and my fated mate. His being distant and unbothered by me should have made it easier for me to put my game into action, but it didn't. Because every time we collide, sparks fly and I am left weak to my core. Being weak was not part of the game. ***** This book is a spin-off novel from the Alpha Blood Circle Series but can be read as a standalone.  ***** Follow me on my I G and F B for updates and teasers - author.cassa.m
