The Consigliere Who Chose Everyone but Me

The Consigliere Who Chose Everyone but Me

I'm a mafia princess with crippling social anxiety. My fiancé, Rocco Falcone, is our family's consigliere. He’s the exact opposite of me—extroverted, effortlessly charming, a master at reading and bending people. He's supposed to be my protector. My only link to the outside world. Tonight was the charity gala for my late mother. I was hiding in the darkest corner, a mask covering my face. Rocco was supposed to give the speech. My speech. He never showed. [Emergency. Sorry. Skip the speech, I know you hate the attention. Driver will take you home after the auction. Don't wait up.] Then I saw Livia’s new post. It was a picture of Rocco, draping his suit jacket over her shoulders. He was looking down at her, his eyes full of a tenderness he never showed me. The caption was a gut punch: [No prom date, so my big bro saved the day! Couldn't have done it without him! ] The cold hit me. Bone deep. He ditched a memorial for my dead mother... to take his stepsister to a university dance? The guests began whispering and sneering that I, the famously awkward, socially crippled princess, couldn’t even force a word out. I stared at the whiskey I’d ordered for him. The ice in my glass was melting. Just like the hope in my heart. When I got back to our empty penthouse, my screen was lit up with missed calls and texts from Rocco. The last one came in thirty minutes ago: [Aurelia, trouble at Livia's prom. You know how she gets. Couldn't leave her. Your mother's gala means everything. I'll make it up to you, I promise. Next time will be perfect. Trust me.] I didn't reply. An engagement held together by "next time." Was a promise like that even worth keeping?

Tuan Muda Tersembunyi Pulau Alcatraz

Tuan Muda Tersembunyi Pulau Alcatraz

Malam ini adalah malam tahun baru, saat semua orang merayakan pergantian tahun, 2019 ke 2020. Namun di laut lepas, sekitar lima puluh kilometer dari pusat kota Metropolis, sebuah kapal nelayan kecil terombang-ambing di tengah badai dahsyat. Perahu kecil milik Norman Ferdian terangkat tinggi, dihantam gelombang hingga terbalik. Di atasnya ada dirinya dan putranya yang baru berusia empat belas tahun. Dua hari sebelumnya mereka berlayar menangkap ikan, berharap kembali tepat waktu untuk merayakan tahun baru, namun takdir berkata lain. Ketika Nathan tersadar, tubuhnya basah kuyup dan terasa berat. Ia terbaring di pasir dingin sebuah pantai asing. Di sampingnya terbujur kaku sosok ayahnya, Norman Ferdian. Tak lagi bernapas, tak lagi bergerak. Wajah Nathan memucat, tangannya gemetar memegang tubuh ayahnya. Tangisnya pecah, diiringi angin laut yang pekat. Di sekitar, ia melihat sebuah wilayah yang gelap, sunyi, liar, asing. Tidak ada tanda manusia, hanya ombak dan ranting patah dipukul angin. Ia tidak tahu di mana ia berada, dan ketidaktahuan itu membuatnya semakin takut. ... Lima tahun berlalu. Di lautan sekitar pulau terpencil itu, kapal nelayan perlahan mendekat. Asap tipis dari tengah pulau menarik perhatian mereka. Pulau itu dikenal sebagai pulau misterius yang berbahaya, katanya tidak berpenghuni, menyimpan banyak kisah orang hilang. Tiba-tiba seorang pemuda lusuh berlari menuruni bukit. Tubuhnya kurus namun berotot, pakaian compang-camping, rambut panjang dan janggut lebat, memegang busur sederhana. Ia menembakkan panah api ke tumpukan kayu kering, menyalakan api unggun besar sebagai sinyal bagi kapal. Para nelayan terkejut. Nathan menunjukkan kartu identitas ayahnya dan makam Norman di pinggir pantai. Mereka mengerti bocah ini bukan pembohong. Dengan hati berat, mereka mengajak Nathan naik kapal. Nathan menatap pulau itu, mata yang tidak lagi sama. Lima tahun di tempat ini bukan hanya membuatnya bertahan, tapi mengubahnya menjadi sesuatu yang berbeda. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi pada Nathan? Bagaimana ia bisa bertahan selama lima tahun di pulau liar itu?

Depois de um Casamento de Mentira, Tornei-me a Donna do Rei do Submundo

Depois de um Casamento de Mentira, Tornei-me a Donna do Rei do Submundo

Assim que engravidei, fui aclamada como a mulher mais preciosa do submundo. Meu marido, o novo Don da família Jenkins, fechou uma ala inteira de um hospital particular para meus exames, enquanto meu pai, o Don dos Collins, convocou todos os chefs com estrelas Michelin de Nova York para a mansão, apenas para que eu pudesse escolher o que desejasse comer. O bebê que eu carregava estava destinado a ser o único herdeiro das duas mais poderosas famílias mafiosas. Mas no dia em que iríamos assinar os papéis garantindo a herança do meu filho, os dois desapareceram. — Surgiu um assunto familiar urgente. — Disse meu marido, Vincent, beijando minha testa. — Podemos finalizar a herança da criança quando voltarmos. Não há pressa. Pouco depois que eles partiram, recebi um link para uma transmissão ao vivo anônima. A voz do meu pai veio do vídeo, mais fria do que eu jamais tinha ouvido. — Você está dizendo que seu contrato de casamento com Evangeline nunca foi válido. Isso não torna a criança uma bastarda? Vincent, relaxado em um clube, soltou um anel de fumaça. Acomodada em seus braços estava minha meia-irmã, Sarah. — Evangeline sempre teve todo o amor e carinho. Seu filho nunca vai precisar de nada. — Sarah foi ridicularizada por seu status durante anos. Preciso consertar as coisas para ela, dar ao nosso filho um nome legítimo. Naquele momento, meu coração se apertou, e eu mal conseguia respirar. Então meu celular vibrou novamente. Era uma mensagem de texto: [Bem-vinda ao lar da família Gallo, minha rainha.] [Só me confirme, e a criança que carrega terá o nome Gallo e se tornará o herdeiro mais poderoso do submundo americano.]

Left Behind by My Alpha and Our Twins

Left Behind by My Alpha and Our Twins

When I was surrounded by the rogue pack far from our territory, I mind-linked my mate, Alpha Luke, begging for help. He refused me fifteen times—and finally, he blocked the link entirely. In the end, I collapsed from exhaustion and lost consciousness, my wolf howling in despair. When I woke up in the infirmary, Alex, the commander of the Werewolf Tribe, was sitting quietly beside me. He was the one who had received my desperate mind-link. He led his warriors, crushed the rogues, and saved me from the jaws of death. Looking into his worried eyes, I no longer hesitated. I took a deep breath and said with unwavering resolve: “Alex, I’ve made up my mind. I’ll go to the Northern Territory for training. I leave in 2 days.” Ten minutes later, Luke barged into the room with Kristy—his so-called adoptive sister—and our twin pups trailing behind. Before anyone could speak, he kicked the door open and pointed at me, shouting with cold fury: “You staged this stunt just to outshine Kristy? Do you realize how much warrior strength you wasted just to feed your vanity? You are not worthy to be a Luna!” My elder son, Chris, gave me a sharp glance and scoffed: “Where’s the wound, Mom? You look perfectly fine. Did you fake this just to get attention?” My younger son, Collin, stared at me, eyes filled with disappointment. He shook his head slowly and whispered: “Mom, did you lie to us again… just because we care about Kristy more?” Kristy gripped Luke’s hand, her voice trembling with fake innocence and tears falling down her cheeks: “I’m sorry, Christina… I won’t celebrate my birthday again. Please… stop causing trouble for Luke and the twins.” I clenched my fists, restraining my furious wolf, and stopped Alex from standing up for me. I watched the four of them turn and leave without a second glance. Then, I turned to Alex and said, with icy clarity: “This time, I have no hesitation, no regret. I’m leaving. I’ll go with you to the Northern Territory. And I won’t eat my words.”

Mixed-Race Sister Saved Alpha Brother

Mixed-Race Sister Saved Alpha Brother

I was a stray pup. At five years old, several elite warriors captured me and threw me in front of the Alpha heir, Lucas. I heard his wolf talking to Lucas in his mind. "Lucas, this damn little thing is a hybrid of a werewolf and an evil witch. The prophecy shows she will be extremely vicious in the future, even killing your Mate. For the Moon Goddess, you must kill her now to protect your future Luna." Lucas agreed carelessly. But when he saw me, he froze. "Seriously? Dude, you’re saying this tiny thing is a homicidal maniac? How vicious can she be? Cursing the future Luna with a lollipop?" I tugged the corner of Lucas's expensive shirt, and looked up. "Big brother, I'm so hungry." He looked at my body, starved to just bones, and hesitated. "Anyway, the mate hasn't appeared yet. Might as well let her eat first. Even when we execute rogues, we usually let them eat their fill before killing them." His wolf replied, "Makes sense... but after she's full, you can't hesitate again!" From that day on, he raised me, this mixed-race brat, like a little sister in his pack. For over a decade, he and his wolf plotted countless times how to kill me, but always found various excuses to postpone the execution. Until I was 16, my brother was injured and lying in the healing center, but his wolf, having lost its will to live after being rejected by its mate, was unable to heal itself. The healer said my brother was going to die. I didn't try to stop him; I just found that playboy from school who had harassed me. I forced him to send my brother a mind link. "Alpha, I just wanted to say, Emma's body is really... really banging. I'll take good... care of her for you." I even chimed in through the mind link with a flirtatious whine. "Jason, don't be like that, Lucas will get mad... stop it." Less than half a second later. An earth-shattering roar came. "Son of a bitch! Jason, get the fuck away from her!" "If you touch a single finger on her, I'll tear you to shreds!"
