Guoba Standing Up

I thought I was just a broke college girl with a traumatic past and too many cigarettes. I didn’t know I was born to lead a pack. I didn’t know I was being hunted. On the night of my twenty-fourth birthday, everything changed. One second I was at a club, pretending life didn’t suck. The next, I was being dragged out by a stranger with ocean-blue eyes, thrown into a black SUV, and told I was a werewolf. Apparently, I’m not just any werewolf—I’m the heir to a powerful bloodline, the only survivor of a massacre, and the center of a prophecy that could bring down one of the darkest witches in history. Now I’m stuck in a mansion full of secrets, locked behind doors I didn’t ask for, and shadowed by an Alpha who looks at me like I’m everything he’s ever wanted—and everything he’s not allowed to have. They say I belong here. They say I have power. But I didn’t ask for a bond I don’t understand, a fate I don’t believe in, or a love that might just break me.

Setelah enam tahun menikah dengan Farel, aku akhirnya hamil anaknya. Namun, dokter tampak sangat terkejut setelah mendengar nama Farel Merza. "Nyonya Keluarga Merza sudah melahirkan seorang putra di rumah sakit kami dua tahun lalu. Saya ingat dengan jelas, beliau adalah seorang artis terkenal dan sangat serasi dengan Pak Farel." Aku tidak percaya dan segera berkata, "Apa yang kamu katakan? Kami sudah menikah secara resmi dan punya akta nikah!" "Nggak mungkin saya salah. Pak Farel adalah sosok terhormat dan memiliki hubungan yang sangat baik dengan istrinya. Beliau selalu menemani beliau dalam semua acara ...." Perawat di samping ngobrol, "Sekarang ada aja orang di dunia ini. Bahkan berani sebut sebagai istri Pak Farel. Nggak takut diusir dari kota ini ya?" Aku meninggalkan rumah sakit dengan sedikit harapan. Namun, aku benar-benar hancur ketika pengacara memberitahuku bahwa akta nikahku adalah palsu. Mataku berkunang-kunang. Aku tidak bisa lagi mendengar suara di sekitarku. Aku akhirnya mengerti. Dia tidak pernah menjadi suamiku, dia juga sama sekali tidak mengharapkan anak di dalam perutku. Aku menghubungi nomor telepon rumahku. Aku bersumpah akan membuat pembohong tak berperasaan ini masuk ke neraka!

Aku adalah pembunuh paling terampil sekaligus penasihat kepercayaan sang bos mafia, Alexander, dan juga istri rahasianya. Namun, selama lima tahun pernikahan rahasia kami, dia tidak pernah mengizinkan putra kami memanggilnya "Papa". Dia selalu berkata bahwa keluarga-keluarga musuh terus mengawasi kami dan aku serta putra kami adalah satu-satunya kelemahannya. Semua itu, katanya, demi melindungi kami. Aku memercayainya, lalu diam-diam membantunya mengurus seluruh urusan keluarga, sampai cinta pertamanya, Bella, kembali dengan seorang anak laki-laki berusia lima tahun. Dia bahkan memesan seluruh taman bermain hanya untuk mereka berdua bermain seharian. Hari itu adalah ulang tahun putraku. Dia dengan keras kepala menunggu papanya pulang, memeluk kue yang perlahan meleleh di tangannya. Saat itu, harapanku benar-benar hancur. Aku menelepon seseorang dan berkata pelan, "Tolong hapus identitasku dan Leo. Hapus semua informasi tentang kami." Namun, ketika aku dan putraku benar-benar menghilang, bos mafia yang berkuasa itu justru menjadi gila, menyisir seluruh dunia, dan mencari jejak kami tanpa henti ....

While Selena tries her best to make it up to Lucine Yane, Lucine doesn't appreciate her efforts. Not only does Lucine accuse Selena of being jealous and stealing their parents' love, but she even sets her sights on Zachary. With everyone standing against Selena, even Zachary advises her, "Lucine's about to marry into the Chiton family soon. It's only right that we make it up to her as best as we can." Hence, he even takes a family photo with Lucine and buys a necklace for her—the limited-edition necklace that should have been Selena's.

After risking my life to save my Alpha heir mate Ethan and his father from the devastating rogue attack, I devoted three years to watching over him. I stayed by his side through his physical rehabilitation until he could shift again, selling my handmade healing potions to cover the pack's financial shortfalls. I never left, never gave up, handling everything personally until the Northern Pack finally reclaimed its position at the top. But on the night of the victory celebration, standing beside him was his first love—the woman who had once abandoned him. A reporter held up a microphone and asked, "We heard Miss Victoria left you three years ago to go overseas. Now that she's back, how do you feel about her?" He smiled softly, his gaze tender as he looked at the woman beside him. "She is the most important person in my life." That night, I had a lawyer draft the mate bond severance papers. Since she's the most important, I'll step aside.

Faustina "Austina" Villacorta was fond of reading reincarnation stories. As a full-time actress, this hobby also helped her enhance her memory. It was a usual hectic day at work. She was in the backseat of the car, reading the book her PA bought for her. She had no idea that such a typical day would be her last. When she woke up, she found out that she reincarnated into the last book she was reading. Not just that, she was also soon to be the wife of a mafia boss. She became the substitute wife as Rendyl Revamonte! Everything seemed so unreal.

After that, you're free." The male lead who was also known as the merciless Mafia Boss. "How's my daughter?" The oh-so-called rich father. To survive in her new world, she must do everything-even if it means putting her life at risk. Will she successfully end this one-year contract with her limbs intact and without being discovered to be nothing more than a mere reincarnated substitute wife of the mafia boss?

Born to the royal family of the White Fur Park in the kingdom of Alacia, Emal was a seventeen years old teenage boy of the royal family of the pack. Powerless and wolfless unlike every other wolves in the pack, he was constantly bullied by his peers and family. He tried everything in his power to be like everyone—if at all he couldn't be more than them as required by his royal status, all to no avail. Not until he met her. A torrential rain that calms a wildfire. A tiger that makes friend with it's hunter. She is Arya, the one with two shocking identities. The last bloodline of the most powerful beings to ever exist who are believed to have gone extinct. They became the closest friends ever, always standing up for themselves and protecting each other. They stick together always like a kangaroo and it's newborn. Slowly, he discovered himself, his powers began to awaken. But an unforseen gust of wind created distance between them. It's yet to know if they will end up killing each other under the deceptive game of destiny! One protects, the other kills! Who will decide the victory after all? The trial begins anyway.

Fresh from a business trip, my husband swept me into his arms and pulled me toward the bathroom for a passionate shared bath. As our lips met in a dizzying kiss, I noticed something odd out of the corner of my eye: the toilet lid was down. Seven years ago, after reading an online article claiming that men urinating while standing could splash bacteria onto the seat, he insisted we always keep the lid up for hygiene's sake. In all our years of marriage, it had never been lowered until now. A chill ran through me. The bathroom was pristine, not a stray hair in sight. But then I noticed the shower's water temperature was set five degrees higher than the 98.6°F he always preferred. Men preferred cooler water, and women warmer. In an instant, I realized that Nick Doyle had betrayed me.

“Strip.” He ordered simply, his eyes boring tentatively, “I'll not give you the liberty of picking up your clothes if you will not do as you're told.” “You married me to get revenge on me!” I spat, angrily. “You are not supposed to have any carnal knowledge of me, I won't let it happen.” He smiled. The same smile that cuts across his lips yet doesn't reach his face. “You want me to have sex with you?” “Isn't that what you mean by stripping?” I asked, confusion boldly written on my face. A loud, dry mocking laugh from him almost made me wish for death. “No wife.” He whispered, standing up from the bed towards me. “I don't want to see any of my properties on you in my house, I want you tattered and extremely void, I want to see what you will do when you're all bare before me.” I stumbled backwards at the hatred in his voice. “I want to see you at your lowest, Now strip!”
