Hall Hebat

"Daniel... Please help... I'm dying..." "Are you doing this so I'll stop my wedding with Eleanor? Come on, Emma, you're being inconsiderate!" ***** I died, but when I opened my eyes, I was standing before Daniel in a hall packed with prestigious people, holding an engagement ring, and ready to tie the knot with Daniel... I was back to three years ago, when I first got engaged to Daniel. In my past life, I gave my all to the people around me, but still got broken. My adopted parents forced me to absorb the life of their missing daughter... I always wore her favourite dress, eat her favourite meal, learned to act and speak like her, and even answered her name. Still, I didn't complain, but once they finally found her, they abandoned me. I was going to take everything and pretend I was fine, but where I drew the line was when my sister asked my fiancé, Daniel to marry her in order to make her wish come true. He agreed, I threw his ring away, but before I could leave, my sister murdered me in cold blood. I thought it was all over, but here I am, standing before Daniel, ready to get engaged to him again. This time, I won't make the same mistake again...

Ketika masih kecil, aku pernah menyelamatkan seorang anak laki-laki tetangga. Namun saat dewasa, dia berubah menjadi seorang pria obsesif sekaligus bos besar yang mendominasi. Dia memaksaku tetap berada di sisinya selama 10 tahun dan memaksaku menikahinya dengan alasan mengobati nenekku. Dia melakukan segala cara untuk mendapatkan hatiku, tetapi aku tetap tidak tersentuh olehnya. Pada akhirnya, dia marah dan mencari seorang wanita yang memiliki kemiripan denganku sebagai pengganti. Mereka memamerkan kemesraan di depan semua orang dan membuat orang-orang berpikir bahwa bos besar itu akhirnya menemukan cinta sejatinya. Namun suatu hari, wanita itu membawa sekelompok orang dan menyerbu masuk ke vila. Dia mematahkan jariku satu per satu, menggores wajahku hingga penuh luka, melucuti pakaianku, dan mempermalukanku di depan umum. "Operasi plastik jadi mirip wajahku saja sudah cukup keterlaluan. Kamu malah niruin aku melukis? Hebat juga kamu ini. Aku mau lihat, ke depannya kamu mau gimana lagi godain pria!" Saat aku muntah darah dan hampir sekarat, Derrick baru datang terlambat. Wanita itu menarik rambutku dan menyeretku ke hadapannya dengan bangga, "Sayang, wanita jalang ini sembunyi di vila ini untuk godain kamu. Aku sudah buat dia nggak bakal bisa lakuin itu lagi!"

Aku pernah menyelamatkan nyawa Theo, sang Ketua Keluarga Luca. Saat peluru hampir menembus tubuhnya, akulah yang berdiri di depannya dan menahan tembakan itu. Sebagai balas budi, aku menggantikan kakakku menjalani pernikahan politik. Namun pada malam pengantin kami, Theo lebih memilih pergi mabuk-mabukan dan tak menyentuhku sedikit pun. Dengan polosnya aku percaya suatu hari nanti aku bisa meluluhkan hatinya. Tetapi belum genap lima tahun, Theo datang menemuiku sambil menggandeng seorang anak kecil yang sangat mirip dengannya bersama kakakku. “Anna membesarkan anak di luar negeri sendirian, dia sudah terlalu banyak menderita. Aku harus menebusnya,” katanya sambil menyerahkan surat cerai kepadaku. “Kau sudah menduduki posisi nyonya Keluarga Luca selama bertahun-tahun. Sudah waktunya kau mengembalikannya padanya.” Saat itu aku baru tahu, ketika Theo meninggalkanku sendirian di malam pengantin kami, ternyata ia pergi menemui kakakku dan menghabiskan malam bersamanya. Aku mengeluarkan hasil tes kehamilan yang awalnya ingin kujadikan kejutan. Namun ia langsung merobeknya. “Aku tidak membutuhkannya.” Kata-kata sedingin es itu menjadi awal dari akhir hidupku. Aku dipaksa naik ke meja operasi. Pendarahan hebat terjadi dan dua nyawa pun hilang sekaligus. Ketika aku membuka mata kembali, peluru itu kembali mengarah ke tubuh Theo. Tetapi kali ini aku berbalik, dan mendorong kakakku ke arahnya.

Furrowing my brows in curiosity as the guards pulled my cell door open, I groaned in pain as one of them roughly pulled me up by my hair before leading me to the meeting hall, the mouthwatering smell of my mate filled me up as I remembered our night together. However, my smile froze seeing his hands wrapped around another. Feeling my gaze on him, he turned around to look at me and I could feel frozen from his cold stares, it’s cold steamer slowly sipping into my heart. My eyes widened with unspoken questions as I felt a tear rolled down my cheek. As if to answer my question, Alpha Claws turned to his new lady and sank his teeth in her neck, marking her as his mate, shattering my heart and my world. “Thinking all of her struggles had ended with the meeting of her mate, his heart-wrenching rejection broke not only her heart but also her dreams. Filled with pain, it’s only a little damage a weak omega could cause, especially not when her life is in danger. Amidst a second heartbreak, almost dead, she discovers she is the legendary nature goddess and is saved by her first mate. Will she accept him after all he made her go through or will she reject him after uncovering his true agenda for her? What happens when she discovers he is not who he said he is? What of his marked mate?”

Laila Jones has spent eight years building a quiet, beautiful life for herself and her daughter, Malaya. After her high school boyfriend caved to his racist grandfather and chose football and family approval over her and their unborn baby, Laila left Ohio, moved south, and raised Malaya on her own. Now Malaya is eight, there’s a daddy–daughter dance coming up, and her one Christmas wish is simple—and heartbreaking: she wants to meet her dad. Going home for the holidays was hard enough. Running into Jordan Hall, now the golden-boy quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals, is worse. He’s famous, gorgeous, and acting like he has the right to look at her with regret. Laila is ready to avoid him, yell at him, or both. What she doesn’t know is that after his grandfather’s death, Jordan discovered every letter she ever sent—proof that she kept their baby, begged him to come, and raised their daughter without him. The truth wrecks him, and this Christmas, he’s determined to fight for the family he should have had all along. But Laila isn’t interested in being anyone’s redemption arc. Especially not while his nasty fiancée is calling her a liar to the press and the internet is tearing her apart. As secrets unravel and emotions explode in front of cameras, Laila and Jordan have to decide what matters more: anger, pride, and old wounds…or the little girl who still believes Christmas wishes can come true.

When I'm seven months pregnant, my mate, Kayden Booker, brings me to a celebratory party hosted in the Darkwind pack. Vera Walker, a Beta warrior, purposefully splashes red wine onto my gown. She also accuses me of smelling like a Rogue. I shove her away, only for her to collapse to the floor. Kayden immediately picks Vera up before slapping me in the face. "You're just a plaything to warm my bed, and yet you have the gall to touch what's mine?" That night, the video of me doing a lap dance while heavily pregnant is projected to the pack's public monitor, all thanks to Vera. The comment section is filled with the wolves' lewd chuckles and mocking comments. As I hide outside the door, I listen to Kayden and his subordinates' conversation. "She's just a human being who's meant to carry my pup. I'm going to abandon her when I get sick of her." "Only the Moon Goddess knows if that pup inside her womb is a bastard pup or what." "Vera is right. Women like her should be groomed." The wolves laugh among themselves. "Alpha Kayden, that woman sure is hot! Will you give her to us and let us have a taste?" Kayden replies icily, "Once she gives birth to that wretched pup, you can do whatever you want to her." Laughter fills the conference hall once again. I pull out the silver dagger that I've been tucking under my pillow. Then, I scratch out the countdown timer on my calendar.

When I was in college, my mom had terminal cancer, and our family company collapsed due to heavy debts. Just when I was at my lowest, my childhood friend Zach Hall rushed back from overseas. For seven years, he stayed by my side and helped me heal. …Until the night before our engagement ceremony, when I was diagnosed with terminal stomach cancer. I wanted to tell Zach, but instead, I overheard a conversation between him and the lead surgeon who had operated on my mother. "Zach, your fiancee's mother could've been saved back then. But you stopped me from treating her, just so Jessica could get that poor woman's corneas. If Jessica is the one you love, why marry your fiancee?" "I do feel guilty toward Annie, but I don't regret it. It was the only way for Jess to pick up a brush again and keep chasing her dreams." Through the crack in the door, I saw clearly the tenderness on Zach's face when he mentioned Jessica. "What if Annie finds out?" the surgeon asked. Zach fell silent, rubbing the band on his ring finger. "I don't know. I've already decided to marry her. I'll love her, protect her, and spend the rest of my life making it up to her." The pain hit me so hard at that moment that I almost collapsed, as if my heart was being ripped out.

I only wanted to survive senior year. Keep my head down, graduate, and leave Blackthorne Academy behind. But the moment I stepped through its iron gates, I became prey. The Academy is wrong in every way—no mirrors in the dorms, wolves howling during study hall, and strict orders to never leave your room on red moon nights. And then there are the four Alphas who have marked me with their eyes, their obsession, and their danger. Ronan Veyr, the storm-eyed heir destined for the crown, who recoils at my touch yet can’t seem to stay away. Cassian Drax, the golden boy trickster whose dangerous smile hides a ruthless streak. Malachai Frost, the untouchable prodigy who shadows me like a silent warden. And Professor Adrian Vale, the man who looks at me as if I’m a memory he can’t bury. They shouldn’t want me. I have no wolf, no pack, no power. But whispers of a legacy trail me through Blackthorne’s haunted corridors—a bloodline strong enough to crown kings… and dangerous enough to kill for. Strange visions tear through my body whenever one of them is near. My strength is rising, my secret unraveling, and I’m beginning to understand why my mother died to protect it. Because I am not wolf. I am something older. Something every Alpha was born to obey. And if I want to leave Blackthorne alive, I must decide: Will I let one of them claim me— or will I rise to command them all?
