"Aku hanya kasian terhadapmu, pernikahan ini tidak didasari oleh rasa, tapi oleh paksa dari orang tua!" ucap Hazmi pandangannya menatap kosong kearah jendela. "Ketika aku meminta bahagia, Allah mempertemukan kita dan mempersatukan pada ikatan ini!" Hana menatapnya dengan tatapan sendu. Jika, pernikahan adalah suatu kebahagiaan bagi sebagian orang, bagaimana dengan pernikahan yang tidak didasari oleh rasa, tapi takdir mengikatnya begitu kuat. Apa akan berontak menyalahkan takdir?

"Qubool hai(I accept)," I said with great difficulty and a lone tear escaped from my eyes. I looked at my husband and found him smiling at me. His smile was so mysterious and unusual which created a shiver in my whole system. At the time of Rukhsati(sending off the bride), my mother requested to my husband," Please, take care of her." " Don't worry. I will love her and take care of her so much that she will forget her own family," He replied chuckling but I felt something fishy in his voice. Will he really love me and take care of me the way he is promising to my mother? Erina was just a 22-year-old girl when she was forcefully married to a stranger. She is doubtful about this stranger's intention behind marrying her. Will she ever come to know about her stranger husband's intention?

Sieben Mal band ich mich an denselben Alpha. Und sieben Mal zerstörte er unser Band wegen seiner Jugendliebe. Beim ersten Mal schwor er es unter dem Mond: „Astrid, meine Luna. Von diesem Tag an gehören mein Herz und mein Wolf allein dir.“ Doch in dem Moment, als seine kostbare Liana zurückkehrte, verwandelten sich seine Versprechen in Asche. „Kannst du nicht einfach geduldig sein? Du machst sie unwohl, es sieht so aus, als würde sie einen gebundenen Alpha verführen.“ Beim ersten Mal, als er mich zurückwies, verbrannte der Schmerz des zerbrochenen Bandes beinahe meinen Wolf. Sie schickten mich zu den Heilerinnen des Rudels, aber er kam nie. Kein einziges Mal. Beim dritten Mal schluckte ich meinen Stolz als Tochter eines Alphas hinunter. Ich trat seinem Rudel als Niemand bei, nur um seinem Duft nahe zu sein. Beim sechsten Mal kannte ich bereits das Spiel. Ich packte meine Sachen und verließ unser Penthaus ohne ein Wort. Meine Zusammenbrüche. Meine Kompromisse. Meine Hingabe. Für meinen Schmerz bekam ich nur seine mechanischen Entschuldigungen und denselben Verrat. Immer und immer wieder. Bis jetzt. In dem Moment, als ich hörte, dass Liana zurückkehrte, gab ich ihm selbst die Papiere, um unser Band zu lösen. Er setzte einfach ein Datum für unsere nächste Bindungszeremonie, als wäre nichts geschehen. Er hatte keine Ahnung. Dieses Mal brach ich nicht nur das Band. Ich zerschmetterte das Herz, das sieben Mal für ihn schlug, nur um sieben Mal von seinen eigenen Händen zerdrückt zu werden.

Sophia Harvey has spent fifteen years waiting for the boy who promised her the world. But the boy she loved is gone. In his place stands Lucian Grey, a cold, powerful Alpha billionaire who looks at her with nothing but pure, burning hatred. To him, she isn't a gift from the Moon Goddess. She is a curse, a living reminder of a blood feud that destroyed his family. When the mating bond finally snaps into place, it isn't a dream come true. It's a nightmare. Lucian doesn't want her heart, he wants to break her pride. He uses his wealth to strip her of her home, forcing her into his world just to watch her suffer. Between his freezing indifference and his sudden, terrifying bursts of possessiveness, Sophia is drowning. She's tired of begging for a love that isn't there. She's tired of being the only one fighting for a bond that feels like a prison. Now, she’s ready to do the unthinkable. She’s walking away. But as the countdown begins, the air between them thickens with a raw, dangerous tension. Is it hate, or is there a fire buried beneath the ice? The clock is ticking. They have exactly sixty days left before the mating bond is called off forever. Two months to survive each other. Two months to find out if they are truly fated, or if they were always meant to be enemies.

At sixty-five, I got served divorce papers. The same day, my husband Sebastian — decked out in his wedding suit, of all things — popped a handful of sleeping pills in a suicide attempt. For years, we were the perfect couple. The kind of pair neighbors whispered about with envy. I couldn't wrap my head around it. The divorce. The pills. None of it made sense. Not until I found the photo and letter in his pocket.

Shortly after we said "I do," the Family sent my husband, Dario, down to the Mexican border. He told me it was a meat grinder down there—cartel territory. where guys were zipped into body bags every day. He said he had to go—to expand the territory, for the glory of the Family. He claimed it was too dangerous and that his enemies would paint a target on my back, so he wouldn't take me with him. I believed him. I stayed behind in his old, rot-infested house in New Jersey, taking care of his bitter, spiteful parents. I spent my days and nights in the Family's moldy laundromat, washing bills stained with blood. He told me he sent every dime he made down there to the widow of a brother who took a bullet for him. He asked me to be understanding. I never complained. Day after day, I pressed expensive suits in that humid laundromat, waiting for him to come home. It wasn't until the eighth year that a mobster came back drunk. When I asked about Dario, he froze, then sneered at me through a haze of alcohol. "Dario? Are you kidding? He’s been a King in Manhattan for years. He’s the youngest Underboss of the Corleone family." I stood frozen, the iron in my hand burning a hole right through a shirt. "And he got married seven years ago. Biggest cathedral in New Jersey. Half the mob was there to toast the groom..." He pulled a crumpled photo from his leather jacket. Snuggled up against my husband was a woman in a high-end couture gown—the very same "poor, widowed sister-in-law" he had told me about. The next day, I contacted a fixer who specialized in fake IDs. On the application for a one-way ticket to Europe—a ticket to vanish off the face of the earth—I filled in the fake name I had prepared long ago. He trapped me for seven years with a sham marriage. From now on, I’d be done with this damn loyalty.
