Hook Island Monster

Mon père est le Bêta de la meute, et notre famille possède une tradition qui consiste à marier une fille à un Roi Alpha. La veille du mariage, pour sauver ma demi-sœur, j'entre dans le Nid Sauvage, un lieu de rassemblement pour les loups solitaires. Le lendemain, pendant la cérémonie de lien de compagnon, une vidéo de moi en train d'être violée par des loups solitaires est montrée au public. Le roi Alpha, furieux, refuse de me marquer, et ma demi-sœur Emma devient la Luna à ma place. Je deviens une salope aux yeux des membres de la meute, et ils exigent que je sois exilée pour satisfaire les loups solitaires jour et nuit, oubliant que je subis leurs représailles pour protéger la meute ! Alors que je souffre au point de m'effondrer, Antoine, le frère du roi Alpha, me fait la cour : « Sophie, je t'ai toujours aimée en silence, et au nom de la lune, j'aimerais être ton compagnon permanent. » Très émue, je choisis de devenir sa compagne. Un an après le mariage, le médecin de la meute me dit que je pourrais concevoir un petit loup-garou. Je suis impatiente de voir Antoine, mais je surprends accidentellement une conversation entre lui et son subordonné. « Antoine, à l'époque, on a aidé les loups solitaires à s'introduire dans la meute, et a utilisé Emma pour piéger Sophie dans le Nid Sauvage, et a même laissé les loups solitaires diffuser la vidéo où elle était violée. Sophie est si gentille avec toi maintenant, nous avons fait quelque chose de mal à ce moment-là, non ? » Antoine soupire : « Il fallait la sacrifier pour qu'Emma puisse épouser mon frère. » « Elle a tellement souffert, je passerai ma vie à me rattraper. »

Seven years ago, it was love at first sight when I met Lucas Yates, who was still a nameless thug at the time. For him, I chose to leave my wealthy family. After seven years of dating, he throws me a grand wedding the day he finally becomes the head of Devil's Advocate, a mafia organization. On the day of our wedding, his childhood friend, Yelena Jackman, crashes the venue. She confesses her love for Lucas, but he rejects her without any hesitation, vowing he will only ever love me in this life. Just as we're exchanging rings, Lucas' enemies show up to cause trouble. When he sees the gun pointing at me, he lunges forward to protect me without a second thought. Yelena, who should have run, takes three bullets while protecting Lucas and falls into a coma due to severe blood loss. Overwhelmed by guilt, Lucas sends her to the best hospital in the world. I have the same blood type as Yelena, so in the attempt to save her life, I donate so much blood that I go into shock. Guilt leaves me with sleepless nights. Every day, I pray she'll wake up. I'm even willing to look after her for the rest of my life if I have to. Lucas keeps comforting me, saying that I don't need to feel so guilty, as Yelena did all of it of her own volition. He says he'll take up the responsibility of making it up to her. I'm extremely grateful to Yelena for saving Lucas and allowing me to have such a wonderful husband. However, on the day of our third wedding anniversary, I receive a mysterious message. "Lucille, you shameless homewrecker! I'm his lawfully wedded wife! If you know what's good for you, you'd better scram and go as far away as you can. If you don't believe me, you can always head to City Hall to see just who is registered as Lucas' lawful wife!"

A young, beautiful she-wolf moves into the house opposite mine. She always strikes up conversations with me, her tone filled with enthusiasm. "You and Mr. Howl have such a great relationship. Even after seven years of marriage, he still kisses you goodbye when he leaves. It’s so sweet." She blinks playfully before continuing, "I have a friend who constantly complains about his mate. He says every time he kisses her, it feels like he's kissing a fat pig. Her scent disgusts him, and he can't even get hard when she's around. "And at night… just the sight of her belly rolls and sagging skin makes him want to throw up." I don’t particularly like this she-wolf, but I still offer her a polite smile. That night, however, when my mate kisses me, he suddenly freezes—then pushes me away and runs to the bathroom to vomit.

Le jour du mariage, mon fiancé a fui et a épousé ma petite sœur. Au mariage, alors que j'étais gênée, Guillaume s'est mis à genoux et m'a demandé de l'épouser. Dans ma ville, tout le monde connaissait Guillaume - un célibataire d'or, le rêve de toutes les femmes célibataires. Pourtant, il a passé la bague à mon annulaire et m'a avoué : « Je t'ai toujours aimée en secret. Merci à Dieu de me donner cette chance de passer le reste de ma vie avec toi. » Nous nous sommes mariés. Il était toujours bon avec moi, et tout le monde savait que Guillaume ne tomberait jamais amoureux d'une autre personne que moi. Jusqu'à ce que, sept ans plus tard, je découvre par hasard son atelier. Il avait peint des milliers de portraits d'Inès, ma sœur. Chaque tableau était une déclaration d'amour pour Inès. L'homme que j'aimais priait Dieu avec ferveur : « Tant qu'Inès reste heureuse, je sacrifierais tout, y compris ma vie. » Sept ans d'amour n'étaient qu'un mensonge. Inès était toujours celle qu'il aimait. Alors, je me retirais. Dans trois jours, je partirais. Je leur souhaitait, à lui et à Inès, un bonheur éternel.

My fiancé leaves me jilted on our wedding day and marries my sister. As I stand there, feeling humiliated, William Sterling gets on one knee before me and asks me to marry him. Everyone in my city knows of him—he's an elite bachelor and every woman's dream. Yet now, he slips a wedding band onto my ring finger and confesses his love for me. "I've always loved you, and I thank the heavens for giving me the chance to spend my life with you." We get married, and he treats me well. Everyone knows that he won't fall for anyone other than me. Everything changes when I accidentally enter his studio in the seventh year of our marriage. I see that he's painted thousands of portraits of my sister, Ivy Winslow. Each one is a tender confession of his love for her. The man I love with all my heart earnestly prays to the heavens and utters his wish. He's willing to sacrifice anything for Ivy to be happy, including his life. It turns out what I thought was seven years of love was nothing but a lie. Ivy is the one he's loved all along. If that's the case, I'll back out. I'll leave in three days, and I hope he and Ivy can be happy together.

On my birthday, my husband, Adrian Grant, suddenly showed up with my adoptive younger sister, Bella Reed, and her child, Tia Reed. When it was time to head out, he naturally arranged for Bella to sit in the front passenger seat. Then he turned to me and said calmly, "Tia gets carsick easily. The back seat is full of stuff. Since you're healthy, just take the bus." Our friends immediately chimed in, one after another, "You're the older sister. Taking care of your niece is only right." Four cars were heading out, yet not one seat was left for me, the supposed main character of the day. I sat on the bus, swallowing my grievance, and saw Adrian and Bella interacting ambiguously in the group chat. They were even talking about topics I knew nothing about. When I opened the newly sent video, nothing except leftovers remained on the table prepared for me. Adrian even treated the birthday cake I had carefully prepared as dessert, spoon-feeding it to Bella and her daughter. Someone finally couldn’t stand it anymore and asked whether this was appropriate. Adrian, who was carefully wiping Bella’s mouth, didn’t even look up. "We’re all family. Julia won’t be angry." At that point, our seven-year marriage came to its end.

Everyone knows the legend of the Minotaur. But that's all it is to them - a myth. And even then, the myth only tells the tale of a monster slain by a hero. Has anyone bothered to ask the supposed monster for his side of the story? Of course not. And I should know. I am that "monster." I am Asterion, The Minotaur, and the first of my kind. And this is my story. You can decide for yourself who the monster truly is.

When the sky ignited in crimson and bombs obliterated Segunda Island in 2080, death was only the beginning. The fallen didn't stay dead—they morphed into savage, bloodthirsty beasts. Terrified survivors barely hold on, hunted by horrors that wear the faces of those they loved. Jane Fortalejo, the last from a dynasty destroyed overnight, is forced to ally with strangers from the island's shadowed underbelly. Driven to expose the sinister truth behind the apocalypse, Jane will risk her life, sanity, and the fragile alliances she forms. What really brought ruin to Segunda? And can the last survivors escape a fate worse than death itself?

For twins Ethel and Elise, the line between dream and nightmare was always thin—and on Paron Island, it has been completely erased. Their idyllic gap year, a sun-soaked mosaic of beach bonfires and reckless abandon, is shattered in an instant. A "project," as the panicked news reports cryptically call it, has gone horrifically wrong, releasing a pathogen that reanimates the dead with a singular, gruesome purpose: to feed. The sisters' bond, once defined by shared secrets and sibling rivalry, is now their only anchor in a world drowning in blood. Driven by a raw, primal instinct to protect each other, they join forces with a few other fortunate—or unfortunate—souls who survived the initial onslaught. Together, this makeshift family must navigate the ruins of their former paradise, where every shadow hides a potential threat and every human sound could be a lure. Ethel, the more cautious sister, finds a hidden strength in strategy, while Elise's impulsive nature becomes both a weapon and a liability. But their fight against the decaying hordes is only the surface of the terror. Whispers of a coordinated presence, of supplies that go missing too conveniently, and of strangers who seem to know too much, point to a more insidious truth: the island's collapse was not a random tragedy. They are being hunted by something that thinks, that plans, that wears a human face. As their hope for rescue dwindles, Ethel and Elise are forced to confront the ultimate horror—that in the midst of an apocalypse, the most monstrous creatures of all are still human.
