Mentahan Background Merah

"Sakit, Gavin... lepaskan!" "Kau yang memancingku, Aruna. Jangan salahkan aku kalau malam ini aku tidak akan memberimu ampun." Hanya butuh satu kesalahan di hotel tiga minggu lalu untuk mengubah Aruna dari seorang Creative Director yang tangguh menjadi budak gairah pria yang paling ia benci. Gavin Dirgantara—calon suami adiknya sendiri—tidak hanya merenggut kesuciannya, tapi juga menanamkan benih yang kini mulai berdenyut di rahim Aruna. Di bawah intimidasi tubuh Gavin yang perkasa, Aruna kehilangan kuasa atas raga dan napasnya. Setiap sentuhan pria itu adalah racun yang membakar, menghapus jejak apa pun yang pernah ada di hidup Aruna sebelumnya. Gavin sangat dominan, sangat ahli memetakan setiap titik lemah di tubuh Aruna hingga wanita itu terpaksa mendesah di tengah kebencian yang mendalam. "Kenapa wajahmu pucat? Takut rahasia kecil kita di perutmu ini ketahuan?" bisik Gavin dengan seringai pemenang. Kini, dengan dua garis merah di tangan yang gemetar, Aruna sadar bahwa ia telah masuk ke dalam jebakan tanpa jalan keluar. Gavin tidak hanya menginginkan tubuhnya, tapi juga ingin mengikatnya selamanya melalui janin yang tak seharusnya ada. Saat hari pernikahan sang adik tinggal menghitung hari, sebuah pilihan maut menanti di depan mata. Haruskah Aruna menghancurkan kebahagiaan adiknya dengan sebuah kejujuran yang menjijikkan, atau membiarkan dirinya menjadi pemuas nafsu sang adik ipar selamanya demi menjaga nama baik keluarga?

Suamiku … seorang komandan resimen yang telah menikah denganku selama sepuluh tahun, kutahan di luar ruang duka anak kami. Bukan tanpa alasan. Sebelum mengembuskan napas terakhirnya, anakku meninggalkan tiga permintaan terakhir. Permintaan pertama … Untuk sementara waktu, jangan beri tahu ayah tentang kematiannya. Dia takut ayahnya akan bersedih. Permintaan kedua …. Masakkan makanan kesukaan ayah, lalu mintalah ayah menemaninya merayakan ulang tahunnya yang terakhir. Dan permintaan ketiga …. Jika ayah tak datang, maka pastikan, benar-benar pastikan, jangan pernah biarkan pria itu muncul lagi di depan makamnya. Jadi, setelah anakku tiada …. Meski hujan deras mengguyur di luar aula duka. Meski pria itu berdiri dengan mata merah dan tubuh gemetar. Meski tangisnya pecah histeris di balik pintu ruang duka …. Aku tetap tak membiarkannya mendekati anakku. Bahkan selangkah pun tidak. Tiga hari lalu, Yuda Saloka menghabiskan semalaman bersama cinta pertamanya. Bersama anak perempuan itu, mereka menyalakan kembang api. Saat pulang, dia membawa sebuah tas sekolah baru. Katanya … sebagai pengganti karena telah melewatkan ulang tahun anak kami. Tapi dia mengerutkan kening, tak mengerti alasan air mata di sudut mataku. “Cuma ulang tahun saja, ‘kan? Nanti juga bisa dirayakan lagi.” Saat itu, dia belum tahu … Anak kami … yang baru berusia lima tahun … telah meninggal karena asma. Dan takkan pernah lagi punya kesempatan menyambut hari pertamanya bersekolah.

Detective Adrian Cross built his reputation on one principle: criminals don't escape justice. Especially not the ghost from his past—Damien Salvatore, the mafia kingpin who shattered his heart ten years ago and now runs the most dangerous criminal empire in Los Angeles. Their love story began in high school hallways and ended with silence when Damien's family ripped them apart, because Adrian's orphan background is not worthy of their dynasty. Adrian promised himself he would never be vulnerable again. So he became untouchable and brilliant. The LAPD's rising star. Until Damien's face appears on his assignment briefing, and every carefully constructed wall crumbles. To Adrian, this isn't just another case, it's personal. Adrian will stop at nothing to put his first love behind bars, but what happens when their cat-and-mouse game reignites a connection that defies logic and law? Every arrest Adrian makes, every operation he leads, only draws Damien closer to a devastating truth: the detective hunting him is the only person he's ever loved. As bodies pile up and betrayals multiply, Damien makes an impossible choice that will force Adrian to answer one question: Is justice worth losing everything twice? In a city where loyalty is currency and love is leverage, two men will discover that some evidence can't be buried, and some hearts refuse to be captured.

My husband was the leader of the rescue team. As I was trapped in a cave and surrounded by a pack of wolves, I desperately called him over and over. Yet, he hung up on me every single time. When the fire nearly burnt out and the wolves got closer, he finally called me and angrily accused me, "Can you stop wasting public resources? I'm the rescue team leader first, and then your husband." In the background, I heard a soft, feminine voice saying, "Howard, my arm has a cut. Can you take me to the hospital?" I was familiar with that voice. It was my husband's first love. Ever since her husband died, she clung to him. And my husband... He didn't just tolerate it; rather, he seemed to enjoy it. A wave of despair washed over me as I ended the call. My hands were trembling, and I tried to call the police, but before I could, the leader of the wolves pounced on me. I fell hard to the ground, and the rest of the pack, sensing the signal, ran toward me at an extraordinary speed. I didn't stand a chance to fight back, and in mere moments, I was ripped into pieces. Before my consciousness slipped away, I struggled to glance down at my lower abdomen one last time, and my lips quivered. "My baby, I'm sorry I failed you…"

Jace is a wanted criminal. Out of sheer luck or fate, as most people would say, he landed a job as a household manager—a position that didn't require a background check, which felt like a miracle. However, he soon finds himself drawn to the quadruplet bosses he serves. Damon, Peter, Jacob, and Garrett were the first quadruplets in the Bloodlust Pack to survive. Before their birth, quadruplets were seen as abominations and were to be killed immediately after birth. It was only because their mother, the Luna, and their father, the Alpha, had tried for years to have a child but to no avail that they were allowed to live. This brought about mixed feelings among the members of the pack, especially the elders. The quadruplets lived their lives trying to prove to everyone that they weren't abominations. For every good deed other members of the pack accomplished, they had to do ten times more to gain acceptance. What happens when they discover that they have a mate, and not just any mate, but a human male mate?! Will they accept him? Remember, they are already hanging by a thread in their quest for full acceptance into their pack. Will being gay jeopardize all their years of hard work? What about Jace? He is a victim of abuse but somehow was convicted of murder. Is he in the right mental state to fall in love? Let’s say he eventually does fall for the quadruplets—will he accept them, knowing they are werewolves? Even if he does accept the fact that they are werewolves, who will he choose to mate with? If the quadruplets accept Jace, what comes next? Can they fight against their pack for his sake?

"You like that?" he whispered, taking my earlobe in his mouth, and my lips parted. My breath came in short bursts, and everything blurred at the feel of his tongue on my index and middle fingers. He began sucking on them while his left hand slipped under my shirt, and a loud moan escaped me. My back arched of its own accord as his fingers began to rub circles around my rock-hard nipples, teasing them and another puddle moistened the already damp surface as my legs took on a life of their own and spread wider. …….
