Mata Hazel Prilly

“Bumi ini nyaris musnah. Tapi, bukankah itu lebih baik?” ucap gadis muda dengan tatapan kosong. Beberapa kali ia mengumpat dan memukul kepalanya. Tapi ia sadar, semuanya tidak akan sama seperti yang ia harapkan. Ia berpikir dan mulai tertawa, akankah semua yang terjadi, biarlah terjadi begitu saja. Tidak perlu ada perubahan. “Hahaha, untuk apa aku membantu mereka? Jika memang mereka mati, bukankah itu takdir?” ucap gadis itu sekali lagi. Bulir air mata tak bisa terhentikan kali ini. Saat itu, berpasang-pasang mata mungil menatap dengan penuh harap. Namun, gadis muda itu hanya bisa menyalahkan dirinya atas apa yang telah terjadi. Ia sadar, semua hal berharga dalam hidupnya sudah tidak ada. Ia sadar, bahwa apa yang ia lakukan bertahun-tahun lalu, akan berakhir seperti ini. Namun apa daya seorang gadis muda yang hanya ingin membuat semuanya baik-baik saja. Yang ia tau, di dalam lubuk hatinya hanya ada tekad untuk terus berjuang. Ya, inilah mimpi Liana, gadis muda itu.Cover edit by Canva, background by pexel.

"I rather get dragged in the mud with chains by moving horses or be beaten with a club with nails on it than lose my virginity to you," she spat, looking at him with hate in her eyes, hoping her eyes conveyed the degree of contempt she felt when she spat out the words. Anger and disbelief flashed in his eyes. She was going to be the first woman that would ever reject him, and in such a preposterous manner. He stood up and went over to her while she gummed her back to the wall, having no other room to step back. He gripped her chin with his strong palm, forcing her to look at him, his wicked grey eyes bore into her hazel ones. "What if it's your only ticket to freedom?" "As I said, I rather die." He quickly shoved her onto the bed and she scooted away as he moved towards her. "I am Eros Castillo, leader of the El dragon gang, you dare not reject me, nobody rejects me," he said in a low husky voice, his eyes five shades darker, his countenance grim and dangerous.

"You're a woman. Where's your brother? I would like to talk to him." She rolled her eyes, raising her pistol at him, fear crossed his hazel eyes. "Being a woman doesn't make this gun any less deadly. So if I were you, I would watch what I say because, to me, your life means nothing," Natalia told him firmly.

Di bawah meja pengacara yang sedang menyusun surat cerai, jariku yang lembut meraba jauh ke dalam relung jiwaku. Aku memejamkan mata, seolah bunga yang lama kekeringan kini disirami embun manis, terbang melayang dalam nikmat yang memabukkan. Tiba-tiba, kursi empuk di bawah pinggulku berubah menjadi tubuh pria yang tegas dan kuat. Tangan pria itu mulai menyentuh kulit putihku dengan penuh kelembutan...

Di tengah terpaan musim dingin, Seren Eira menemukan pria tampan yang tergeletak di jalanan. Pria itu hampir membeku terbungkus selimut salju. Dengan belas kasih, Seren membawanya pulang dan memberinya nama "Theron", karena dia bilang tidak memiliki nama. Theron bukanlah pria biasa. Meski parasnya begitu tampan, dia dianggap "idiot" atau "setengah-setengah" oleh orang-orang sekitar. Sampai suatu malam, segalanya berubah. Theron yang polos dan lugu tiba-tiba berubah drastis. Pria itu memancarkan aura mengerikan yang tak pernah Seren bayangkan. Seperti predator yang membuka mata setelah tidur panjang. "Siapa kau?" gumam Seren gemetar. "Tak ingat? Padahal wajah ini seharusnya sulit kau lupakan." Mata Theron berbinar dengan ekspresi asing yang terlihat untuk pertama kali. Mulut yang biasanya sedikit terbuka seperti orang bodoh, kini membentuk lengkungan seringai kuat. "Pergilah." Menyaksikan sosok asing yang ada dalam diri pria itu, Seren merasa bulu kuduknya berdiri. "Ke mana aku akan pergi? Apa kau ingin membuang 'lintah' yang telah menghisapmu selama ini? Bukankah kau sangat senang saat aku menjilatmu hingga kering?"

“Where’s that bastard?” My eyes snapped toward the woman storming into the room like a hurricane. “I couldn’t stop her, Mr. Darian!” I waved the guy away and studied the woman whose hair looked like it had gone through war, clearly fighting her way up here. My brothers looked just as entertained as I did confused. “Which bastard?” “My bastard of a husband! Where is Darian Freeman?” My brothers burst out laughing like they’d just witnessed the world’s finest comedy show. I, however, failed to see the joke. She smoothed her wild hair, fixing those hazel eyes on me. “Tell me where he is. I swear I won’t kill him. I just want to shove these papers down his throat,” she said, waving the papers in my face. “There must be a mistake,” I said, still trying to piece this insanity together. “Oh stop feeding me fairy tales! Where is that son of a bitch?” “Are you insane? There’s clearly a mistake here! I am Darian Freeman and I am one hundred percent sure I am not your husband!”

Mate or be killed. Our world has become a dangerous place, ruled by the ruthless Soul Keepers—demon-like creatures that take pleasure in thrusting us into the mate hunt. Every five months, two shifters are selected, one male and one female, and they are cast into the treacherous Woods Of Abyss together. There, they must fend off beasts and scavenge for food, but there's one crucial rule: both shifters must mate before the five months expire or face elimination. My name is Hazel Bonfire and my life is turned upside down when I'm chosen for this brutal hunt. Unfortunately, the male selected to join me is none other than my step-brother, Ashton Rider. Thrown into a perilous forest, we must depend on one another for food, shelter, and warmth. Ashton is painfully aware that his mate can see everything unfolding between us, and each time he betrays her for the sake of the hunt, it destroys a piece of him. . .I hate what it's doing to us—all of us. I hate that we do not have a choice. But more than anything, I hate that I'm beginning to feel things for Ashton that I know will destroy the relationship we once had. . . forever.
