Karma Akabane Badass

Meu marido Alfa, Ryder, sempre detestou o som de um filhote a chorar. Mas, recentemente, ele começou a cuidar do filhote recém-nascido da minha irmã adotiva, ficando ao lado dele no berçário todas as noites até o amanhecer. Toda vez que Ryder saía do nosso quarto para o berçário, uma dor forte e inexplicável perfurava meu peito. Essa agonia durava a noite inteira, até o amanhecer, quando ele voltava. Eu finalmente tinha chegado ao meu limite. No Festival da Lua Cheia, anunciei na frente de toda a alcateia que estava rejeitando nosso Laço de Companheiro. A conexão mental da alcateia explodiu em sussurros de que a batalha havia danificado minha mente. Uma luz dourada acendeu nos olhos de Ryder enquanto ele me encarava, descrente. — Por eu estar ocupado demais para verificar se você estava bem quando se feriu, você está rejeitando nosso laço por causa de um filhote de seis meses? Eu não o encarei. Em vez disso, meu olhar se demorou na leve marca de batom borrada dentro da gola dele. Minha voz tremeu, mas não vacilou. — Já que você ama tanto o filhote dela, assim que nosso laço for rompido, você poderá ser abertamente o pai.

Aku adalah seorang mahasiswi, sejak aku memahami hubungan antara pria dan wanita, aku tidak pernah kekurangan pria di ranjangku. Tadinya aku berpikir aku akan terus berganti-ganti pria selama sisa hidupku, tapi takdir mempermainkanku. Aku bertemu cinta sejatiku, yaitu pacarku saat ini. Tapi ada sesuatu yang sulit kuungkapkan, karena pacarku tidak mampu...

Aku berpura-pura jadi tukang pijat tunanetra profesional dan memberikan layanan ke rumah pada seorang nyonya muda. Namun, dia justru memanfaatkan kebutaanku, mengurungku, dan menyiksaku selama tiga hari tiga malam. Perasaan itu tidak akan pernah bisa aku lupakan...

Mama menikah lagi dengan orang yang salah. Hidupnya miskin mengenaskan. Saat akan menikah, aku malu mengenalkan mama pada keluarga Ruly, calon suamiku.

Ketika kandunganku menginjak sembilan bulan dan hampir siap melahirkan, suamiku, Arga Baskara, justru memerintahkan orang mengunciku di gudang bawah tanah dan menyuruhku menahan agar bayi itu tidak lahir. Karena istri almarhum kakaknya, Indri Magani, juga diperkirakan akan melahirkan hari ini. Arga pernah berjanji pada kakaknya bahwa anak pertama yang lahir dalam Keluarga Baskara akan dididik sebagai penerus dan menerima warisan keluarga. "Anak Indri harus lahir lebih dulu," kata Arga dengan tenang. "Dia kehilangan suaminya dan nggak punya apa-apa. Sementara kamu sudah memiliki semua cintaku, memberikan harta kepada anaknya adalah hal yang seharusnya." Kontraksi membuatku kesakitan sampai berguling-guling, aku menangis memohon padanya untuk membawaku ke rumah sakit. Arga mengusap air mataku dengan lembut, suaranya rendah dan mengandung bahaya. "Jangan berpura-pura! Aku sudah lama tahu kamu sama sekali nggak mencintaiku. Satu-satunya yang kamu pedulikan adalah kekayaan dan kedudukan." "Kamu sengaja mau melahirkan prematur hanya untuk merebut hak keponakanku... Bagaimana bisa kamu begitu kejam?" Wajahku pucat dan seluruh tubuhku gemetar. Aku berkata dengan suara pelan, "Aku nggak bisa mengendalikan kapan anak ini akan lahir, kelahiran prematur hanyalah kebetulan! Aku bersumpah, aku nggak peduli sama harta, aku hanya mencintaimu!" Arga tertawa sinis. "Kalau kamu mencintaiku, kamu nggak akan memaksa Indri menandatangani kontrak untuk melepaskan hak waris untuk anaknya. Oke, setelah dia melahirkan, aku akan kembali menemuimu. Bagaimanapun juga, yang ada di perutmu adalah darah dagingku sendiri." Arga menunggu di luar ruang bersalin Indri. Setelah melihat bayi yang baru lahir itu, barulah dia teringat padaku. Dia menyuruh sekretaris menjemputku ke rumah sakit, tetapi sekretaris itu dengan suara gemetar berkata, "Nyonya... dan bayinya... sudah meninggal..." Pada saat itu, Arga menjadi gila.

I'm Isa Borgia, the daughter of the most powerful Don in Corvina. My father worries I'll marry the wrong man on a whim, so he arranges for me to be engaged to Luca, the rising heir of the Marino family. It's an arranged marriage, but that doesn't mean I've lost all my say. The very least I can do is choose a ring I genuinely like. So, I go to the mafia auction. When the diamond ring appears as the final jewel of the night, I lift my paddle. Just before the gavel falls, an arrogant voice comes from behind me. "A country bumpkin like you thinks you can compete with me? Do yourself a favor and leave." The auction hall goes quiet for a few seconds. The only sound comes from the camera shutters clicking around the hall. I turn and see a woman in a gold couture gown. Her mouth curves in a casual smile, as if she owns the place. Before I can say a word, the auctioneer rushes to close the bid.
"Sold! Congratulations to Ms. Sofia Lopez for winning the final lot, the Eternal Star!" My brows pull tight, and a hot spike of anger rises in my chest. "You ended the bidding early! Do you even follow the rules here?" Sofia turns around and gives me a once-over, her gaze sharp as a blade. 
"Rules?" She lets out a cold laugh. "Come on. I'm Luca Marino's favorite godsister. Around here, I make the rules!" I can't help but laugh. What a coincidence. So, she's my fiance's godsister. I pull out my phone and call him. "Luca, your godsister just snatched the engagement ring I picked out. How are you going to handle this?"

When my adopted sister, Alayna Ewing, hears that I'm with pup, she specifically gives me the body oil she's made. I accept it with a smile on my face. But later on, I smear the oil all over the belly of the old lady next door, who's diagnosed with a uterine tumor. After all, I have gotten reborn on this very day. In my past life, Alayna had formed a mate bond with Misael Finch, the Alpha of the Darkspire pack. She desperately needed to bear an heir for Alpha Misael in order to strengthen her position as the Luna. Unfortunately, her being an Omega meant that it'd be very difficult for her to conceive. So, she hatched a scheme against me, a newly pregnant she-wolf. Alayna bribed a dark sorcerer to cast a surrogate pregnancy curse on me. As long as I smelled something that she made, the pup in my womb would be transferred into her womb instantly. I spent entire pregnancies caring for my pup meticulously. I even endured the pain of countless shots in order to keep my pup safe. But whenever I was about to give birth, my pup would still end up disappearing. Alayna, on the other hand, gave birth to three heirs who inherited powerful bloodlines from their father. Thanks to that, her position as the Luna was greatly strengthened, and she got to live a lavish and comfortable life. In the end, Alayna had slandered me by claiming that I was overcome by lust during my pregnancy, so I ended up having passionate moments with Rogues. That was how I lost my pup every single time. With my reputation in tatters, I was exiled from the pack and forced to live the remainder of my days as a Rogue. In the end, I froze to death in winter. Now that I'm reborn, I shall grant Alayna her wish, seeing as she really wants an heir of her own. The healers have mentioned that it's their first time seeing such a huge uterine tumor, after all. Oh, I can't imagine what sort of expression Alayna will wear when she finds out that she's given birth to such a big tumor!

Pada hari ketiga setelah kematianku, Sandi Subowo menerima telepon untuk mengidentifikasi jenazah. Dia dengan santai merangkul wanita dalam pelukannya dan berkata, "Mati ya sudah mati, kremasi dulu baru hubungi aku." Tubuhku dimasukkan ke dalam tungku kremasi, dan setelah berubah menjadi abu, staf kembali menelepon Sandi. Dia mendecak tidak sabar. "Baiklah, aku segera ke sana."
