Três anos depois da minha morte, meu marido finalmente se lembrou da minha existência. Acontece que a amiga de infância dele teve uma recaída de leucemia e precisava urgente de um transplante de medula. Ele foi lá em casa para me fazer assinar a doação, mas quando chegou, não achou ninguém. Preocupado, procurou os vizinhos e começou a perguntar insistentemente por mim. Uma vizinha olhou para ele com pena e disse: — Você está falando da Carina? Ela morreu tem anos! Mesmo doente, arrancaram a medula dela. Voltou do hospital acabada e não aguentou. Meu marido se recusou a acreditar. Estava convencido de que a vizinha mentia para ele. Ele ficou vermelho de raiva, virou para mulher e gritou: — Se ver ela, avisa: se não aparecer em 3 dias, não pago mais nada para o tratamento daquele bastardo que ela insistiu em criar. A vizinha só suspirou, balançou a cabeça e resmungou baixinho: — Coitada, mas a criança já morreu de fome faz tempo...

No sexto ano de casamento, meu marido não me tocava há três meses. Ele dizia que estava muito ocupado e cansado com o trabalho. Amando-o por tantos anos, acreditei sem hesitar. Mas no meu aniversário, ouvi o amigo do meu marido perguntar a ele em alemão: — Você já terminou com a outra lá fora? Ia lá todo dia, nem sei como seu corpo aguenta. — Sua esposa não se importa com isso? Meu marido soltou uma baforada de fumaça, com uma expressão indiferente. — Faz meses que não a toco. Gabriela Nunes é muito boa na cama, ainda não me cansei, que pena que ela engravidou. — Minha esposa não gosta de crianças, então dei a Gabriela uma quantia em dinheiro para ela ir para o exterior ter o filho em breve. Apertei os punhos. Lágrimas caíram em silêncio. Meu marido perguntou, preocupado, o que havia acontecido. Balancei a cabeça. — O bolo que você fez é delicioso, estou tão emocionada. O bolo era doce, mas para mim, que entendia alemão, o coração estava amargo.

“Do you feel that, Wren? That pull between us?” His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth. “It’s wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for even standing this close. But tell me, little bird—” his breath ghosts against my skin, “—are you trembling because you hate me… or because you’ve wanted this as much as I have?” >>> Wren thought she’d left the chaos of New Orleans behind; the club life, the blood-soaked loyalty, the men who lived and died by their kuttes. Seattle gave her everything she could ever want—freedom, love, a future. But one betrayal sends it all crashing down. Dragged back home by tragedy, Wren finds herself under the watchful eye of Ezra Jax, the vice president of the Raven Reapers MC, and her brother’s best friend. He’s infuriating, dangerous, and far too tempting. But the deeper she’s pulled into his world, the more she realizes that nothing about her past or Ezra, is what she thought. Yet in the chaos of gang wars, debts, and betrayals, he’s the one who never leaves her side. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. And the more he pushes her away, the more dangerous his pull becomes. Because in this world, love isn’t sweet. It’s brutal, bloody, and bound to break them both. When loyalty is everything and love can cost your life, will Wren risk her heart on the one man she was never meant to love?

Alya Pramesti hanyalah seorang gadis desa berusia 19 tahun, yang datang ke kota dengan mimpi sederhana: melanjutkan kuliah, membanggakan ibunya, dan menulis puisi tentang kehidupan. Hidupnya di desa penuh kesucian—senja, doa, dan ladang padi yang menguning. Namun kota ternyata bukan panggung keindahan, melainkan labirin yang keras dan kejam. Biaya kuliah yang menunggak, kos yang hampir jatuh tempo, dan kabar bahwa ibunya jatuh sakit membuat Alya terdesak. Semua lamaran pekerjaan ditolak karena dianggap tak berpengalaman, hingga akhirnya ia berada di persimpangan jalan: menyerah pada mimpinya, atau mengorbankan sesuatu yang paling berharga—kesucian yang ia jaga sejak kecil. Dengan hati hancur, Alya memilih jalan yang tak pernah ia bayangkan: ia rela melepaskan keperawanannya demi bertahan hidup. Malam itu mengubah dirinya selamanya—antara rasa bersalah, kehilangan, dan kenyataan pahit bahwa kota bisa merenggut apa saja, bahkan yang paling suci. Di tengah luka itu, hadir Aditya Mahendra—seorang pria tampan dari kampus, dingin namun romantis, yang mampu membuat Alya kembali merasakan getar cinta. Namun cinta bukanlah pelarian, sebab rahasia kelam masa lalu Alya membayanginya setiap saat.

Ever since I was little, I knew my future mate would be one of two Alpha candidates: Mitchell or Jax. Even with all their Alpha pride, I never once doubted that set future. The pack elders always said it was natural for Alpha candidates to focus on getting stronger and controlling the pack. My mother, Lyra, even told me that every brutal fight they got into was so the winner could give me, their Luna, the ultimate honor. That is, until I and Elara – this Omega stray they'd taken in – got ambushed and captured by our old enemies, the Nightshade pack. Mitchell and Jax only had enough of the life-saving Moonpetal herb for one of us. And they both chose to give it to Elara. To save myself in that fire, I forced a shift. The power surge was too much. The heat twisted my cheekbone, and just like that, I was disfigured. After they dragged me out – like an afterthought – I watched those two future Alphas crying over Elara, who didn't have a scratch on her. "Thank the Moon Goddess, Elara, you're alive." "Once we sort out who's the new Alpha of Blackwood, whoever it is will give you the most honored spot right under the Luna, Elara. Don't you worry. We'll give you the best of everything our pack has, make sure you never suffer again." "Elara, you're the real Luna in our hearts." When I came to, I cut off that ridiculous mate bond for good. Empty promises and a trampled destiny? I was done with it. But after I left, they stayed by my cave every day, begging me to come back.

He stepped closer to me, his breath hot against my neck. “Say it Miss Taylor, and I will make you forget my brother ever existed.” His low husky voice vibrated through my core, my body shivered. The way his intimidating eyes burned into my soul, I knew he meant every word he said. He was yet to touch me, yet my legs wobbled under his mere gaze, my knees too weak to carry my body. That's when it dawned on me; Jaxon West was not a man, he was a walking seduction. Just a single glance from those eyes, and I could feel the wetness between my thighs. ** Ava Taylor has always been in love with her childhood best friend, Liam West, the charming, golden boy who could do no wrong. It was her secret, sadly he didn’t feel the same way for her. After a devastating break up, Ava hopes he could finally notice her. When he receives an invitation to his Ex’s engagement ceremony with his Cousin, he pleads with Ava to be his pretend girlfriend so as to make her jealous. But when she arrives at his Family’s old house, she meets his Magnetic older brother Jax, and things spiral out of control.  Finding her in his brother’s bed, Liam is jealous and realizes his own desire for Ava. Now the two brothers want her, and she must choose between them. But what if she can’t make a choice? What if she wants both of them? The sexy masculine cowboy and the football icon! Sounds like the beginning of a reverse harem. Note: This book contains mature/controversial content. It's not your regular romance book, it might just take a very dark turn! (⁠◠⁠‿⁠◕⁠)

SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK FIVE ~ *If you haven't read books 1-4, I highly recommend starting the series with Alpha Gray and reading the prior books in order (Gray, Theo, Jax, Brock) for context before starting this one* REID : I've always exercised complete control in all things. When it comes to my pack, I'm in control as its Alpha. In everyday life, I follow a schedule and value structure and discipline.

Once he knows the truth, will he even still want me? It's an impossible choice, because no matter which one I make, I may still lose everything…
