Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

Cantik itu luka. Bagi perempuan seperti Elea, kecantikan bukanlah tiket menuju kebahagiaan. Sebaliknya kecantikan adalah belenggu yang membuatnya terjerat dalam obsesi dan hasrat seorang pria yang memiliki segalanya. Seorang pria yang menganggapnya properti, bukan manusia. Rendra Adiguna Kartanegara. Nama yang menjadikannya boneka hidup dalam genggaman.

Mertuaku mendatangkan seorang wanita untuk menjadi istri kedua suamiku. Yang lebih parah lagi adalah, wanita itu diakui sebagai adik sepupunya. Di malam aku pulang dari luar kota, aku melihat mereka berdua sedang berhubungan intim dan aku tahu segalanya. Aku akan membalas mereka karena telah mengkhianati aku! Membalas dengan cantik agar mereka lebih menderita daripada apa yang aku rasakan.

Setelah mengetahui kekasihnya berkhianat, Rose memutuskan menghapus semua kenangan yang menyakitkan.

Akankah Rose mampu bertahan di bawah bayang-bayang William?

Dijual oleh ayahnya sendiri demi melunasi utang, Freya, seorang Omega tanpa serigala yang diakui, terpaksa menjadi barang tawar-menawar bagi Raja Logan, Alpha penguasa Northridge yang dikenal kejam dan haus darah. Di bawah kekuasaan sang Raja, Freya bukan dibawa untuk diselamatkan, melainkan untuk dijadikan pembiak—wadah hidup bagi garis keturunan yang terkutuk. Lemah, terasing, dan tanpa hak atas tubuhnya sendiri, Freya dihadapkan pada pilihan kejam: tunduk sebagai properti sang Alpha, atau menggali kekuatan serigala yang tersembunyi jauh di dalam dirinya. Akankah Freya hancur sebagai budak tak bernilai, atau justru berubah menjadi satu-satunya kelemahan Raja Logan yang tak pernah terkalahkan?

Niccolo Morelli—Don Italia, dikenal dingin, kejam dan arogan. Harus merasakan patah hati pada cinta pertamanya. Namun di saat bersamaan, ada wanita yang menarik hatinya. Mengembalikan sikap manusiawi yang sudah lama menghilang dari dalam dirinya.  Siena Sartori—gadis Italia yang besar di Monaco. Ceria, lugu dan ceroboh. Ia sangat menyayangi dan membanggakan keluarganya. Tanpa ia tahu, mereka menyimpan rahasia besar dan menginginkan kematiannya.  Kisah cinta mereka penuh dengan romantis, ancaman dan tragis. Akankah Siena mampu bertahan disaat badai besar menghantam cinta dan kepercayaannya? 

Gadis expired! Entah sampai kapan julukan itu melekat pada diriku. Umurku telah menginjak kepala 3. Di saat semua temanku telah menikah di usia matang tersebut, sementara diriku masih setia menyandang gelar jomblo cap karat. Memiliki wajah yang tidak cantik, tentu tidak sedikit lelaki yang menjauhiku. Apakah wanita tidak cantik seperti diriku tidak pantas dicintai? Hingga suatu hari, kejadian yang tidak pernah aku inginkan terjadi. Ayah memaksaku menikah dengan seorang kakek berusia sekitar 80 tahun. Aku kabur, dan tidak pernah menyangka jika takdir akan membawaku pada seseorang di masa lalu, yang membuat hidupku merasa dicintai  dan merasa diratukan. Namun, ternyata cinta yang aku dapat menjadi sebuah obsesi. Akankah aku mampu bertahan dengan jerat obsesinya?

Her eyes widened in horror. The sound was unmistakable — the snap of a belt buckle, the hiss of it being undone. Then came the crash of fabric hitting stone. Terror exploded in her chest. She struggled violently, chains biting into her wrists until blood slicked her palms. Her chest heaved, heart pounding so hard it hurt. Ezra pressed harder, his knee locking her in place. One hand clenched her throat — not enough to choke, but enough to remind her she could not escape. His breath was ragged, wild, as if possessed. “You feel it too,” he growled against her skin. “Don’t lie to me, Nova. Your body wants this. You want me.” No. No, no, no. Her body burned, but it wasn’t for him. It was the cursed bond, the fire belonging to another. And that other… Her eyes filled with tears. Her lips shaped a silent prayer: Kilian. The bond within her surged like wildfire. Her chest arched, a gasp tearing from her throat. She felt it — claws raking down her soul, a storm breaking in her veins. He was here. He had come for her. *** Nova is a skilled hunter, fierce and independent, yet unaware of her true nature and the extraordinary destiny that awaits her. Humiliated by her fellow hunter colleagues for refusing to kill innocent wolves, she flees — only to be rescued by Kilian, the feared Lycan King. Thrust into his world, she must prove herself and earn her place within his pack, all while navigating the sharp wit, teasing sarcasm, and growing tension between them. Kilian is powerful, commanding, and fiercely protective, yet finds himself drawn to Nova in ways he cannot explain. Their connection develops slowly, charged with banter, challenges, and unacknowledged desire. But Nova is far more special and powerful than anyone could have predicted. Her choices, and the bond she shares with Kilian, will shape the fate of their world — deciding whether to destroy it, or to revolutionize and transform it for the better. As they uncover enemies deeply rooted in their lives, they must rely on their bond, courage, and love to face what comes next.

***Updates are now on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.*** Everything you thought you knew was a lie. The vampire king, Vladimir Sedof, was on top of the world once upon a time. He had his beloved by his side and the vampires following his every dictate. Then one sunny morning, it all goes to hell. He wakes up twenty odd years later to find most of his magic stolen and his beloved murdered. Hell bent on getting revenge on those who left him for dead, he acquires a pawn in the form of Josie Braille. She turns out to be too powerful and not all that useful. Josie Braille just wanted to set her father free. What she gets instead is a world filled with magic, lies and schemes older than she had been alive. In this world where foes and friends wear the same face, she must choose a side and fight for her love. But to do that, she must decide who she loves. Grayson Callahan is a hunter stuck between the rock and a hard place. He has to choose between doing his duty and saving the world from a vampire on the warpath, or saying fuck it and choosing his love. Three lives on a collision course, whose resolution will reign supreme? What they do find in the end is that this was someone else's game entirely and they were all pawns from the very beginning. But when the chips are down and the fate of their existence and everyone they held dear on their shoulders, will Josie’s love win, or will the vampire king sacrifice them all to get his justice? *This book ends on a HFN

I went back upstairs just as Megan came out of the bathroom sporting a pair of my sweatpants and t-shirt that was way too big for her. “I was going to recommend the sweat pants, it might be big around your waist but your ass will fill it out,” I said as she turned to glare at me. “Meaning what exactly?” she asked me. “It’s just that your ass… never mind,” I said. “Are you saying I have a fat ass?” she asked me. “No!” I said quickly. “Then what?” she asked me as she stood with her hands on her hips. “Just forget I said anything,” I said to her trying to hide my embarrassment. “No! Tell me,” she said adamantly. “Fine! Your ass is perfect for… no I can't, I'm going to sound like a pervert,” I said as the pillow flew across my face. “Ryder!” she yelled her face a bright red. “You asked,” I said and ducked at the shoe heading for my face. “You're such an idiot,” she said as she looked at me, “stop looking at my ass.” “Are you wearing my underwear?” I asked her as I saw the edge of my boxers above the sweat pants.
