Muddy Tree Arm

Dulu Dira hanya ingin sukses bersama orang yang ia cinta. Tapi cinta menghancurkannya lebih kejam dari siapa pun. Dikhianati dan kehilangan segalanya, Dira bangkit bukan untuk cinta—melainkan untuk membalas. Namun, ketika pria baru datang menawarkan peluang dan perasaan yang tulus, Dira dihadapkan pada satu pertanyaan: apakah luka lama layak menutup pintu bahagia yang baru?

I could hear his heart race as he spoke, my head pressed against his chest. “And were you pleased with what you found?” I asked, giving in to the urge to find out exactly what he thought of me. “I found you to be exactly what I had hoped for, after all these years. You’re smart, funny and generally adorable. You drive me insane with your stubbornness. You have a gorgeously alluring figure and a pure, sweet face. Most importantly, you’re someone who I could live with for the rest of eternity.” He squeezed me gently, running his fingers through my tangled hair. *** Seventeen year old Callista is just your average teenage girl, however when she starts to have strange dreams after coming into contact with a mysterious guy in a coma things become complicated: especially when she begins to suspect that he is trying to speak to her through her dreams. Launched into an alternate realm with Greek gods, succubi and all things mythological, Callista struggles to balance her new-found destiny and her life in the human realm.

She walked away from fate. Now fate refuses to let her go. “I’m not doing the ceremony, Tristan. I’m not accepting this bond.” He went still. Voice cold, almost hollow. “You’re the only person I’d burn the fucking world for—and you’re still running.” — Eleanor never believed in fated mates. How could she? Not after her father left her mother and abandoned them—even though they were bound by the mate bond. Not after her first love, Tristan, shattered her heart and married someone else. Not even when her own mate left her and their daughter to chase his “true bond.” Now a single mother hardened by betrayal, Eleanor returns to the Nightshade Pack to rebuild her life—but finds that Tristan is now Alpha… and her fated mate. Tristan has his own scars. The guilt of losing his wife. The pain of pushing Eleanor away. The weight of duty that never stops pressing on his shoulders. He doesn’t trust the bond either. But the pull between them is fierce, primal, impossible to ignore. Eleanor wants a choice. Tristan wants redemption. Fate wants blood, sweat, and surrender. And when old wounds reopen and past secrets rise, they’ll have to decide: accept the bond—or let it consume them.

"I'm getting married Eila." The last sentence that he told me before my whole world crashed.. The man that is once my world is now getting married with his first love.... I was once his lover but never been his first love.

Mikel Rysdale needed an escape after a devastating blow to her heart and lifestyle. The number of people she can trust can be counted on one hand. Escaping to the one place she was free, she finds the most unlikely person to lean on. In his eyes, he was a broken man incapable of rejoining society. Army Veteran Killian returns home to live on his family's land in peace. Happy to see his sister again, he wasn't prepared to welcome a guest. What started as a tolerable relationship, the two found the need to be there for each other. Old wounds are hard to heal especially the ones in your heart. “Who are you?” His question was meant to be gentle but they came out as an angry ogre. She laughed at his question. The first chord of that sweet laugh was now trapped in Killian's mind and heart. Slowly she stood up and walked towards him. She was within four steps of him and her scent was intoxicating. Vanilla and the scent of fruit he had to know of. Up close she was perfection in his eyes. Unconsciously he stepped forward wanting to be close to her for some reason. The pain, the memories none of it was on his mind. His sole focus was on her. “Name's Mikel Rysdale. You can call me Mik for short.”

Ciara thought her relationship with Austin, her boyfriend of six years, had always been solid and full of love. But on the night before their wedding, she caught him and her young stepmother doing something unspeakable. The shock of the moment shattered her heart, yet she didn’t confront them. Rather, she found herself making out with Rowan, the older brother and sworn rival of Austin. The next day, she went through the ceremony confidently, only to humiliate her cheating fiancé by not saying ‘I do’ before leaving him at the altar. As a result, Ciara’s father got enraged and even dismissed her claim of her stepmother’s affair without a second thought. As if that wasn’t enough, she got kicked out of the company. With nowhere left to turn, she sought out Rowan and accepted his offer of an alliance, fueled by a desperate need for revenge against everyone who wronged her. Ciara knew exactly how dangerous Rowan could be. She was well aware of his obsession, his psychopathic behavior, and the risks that came with trusting a man like him. Still, vengeance was all she had left to her name. And if it meant making a deal with the devil and surrendering herself to his darkness, then she would do it, no matter the cost.

"You're mine, Celestine. No one could ever have you other than me, remember that. You're already married to me. That means you're forever stuck to the man you called a devil. You're forever stuck in the devil's arms, Celestine. With no other way out, but death." *** Holy Celestine Marquez is the epitome of beauty, kindness, and brain. She was dubbed to be an angel in her university, not just because of her face, but because of her attitude. Kahit yata lamok ay hindi nito kayang patayin. Even her father thought that she's too innocent for this world, kaya naman nang sabihin ni Holy na gusto niyang maging madre pagkatapos niyang mag-kolehiyo ay hindi na siya pinigilan pa ng kaniyang Ama. Eros Hunter Salvatore is a devil himself. A successful billionaire na talagang hinahabol ng mga kababaihan. Not only that, he's also a know drag racer na siyang dahilan kung bakit mas lalong humahaba ang pila sa kaniya. Pero wala ni-isang babae ang nakalapit sa kaniya ng sobra lalo na at napaka-ikli lang pasensiya niya at madalas ay parang bulkang nag-aalburoto. Well, he wouldn't be called a devil for nothing. Paano kung mag-tagpo ang landas ng dalawang taong parehong magka-ibang magka-iba nang hindi nila inaakalang pareho? Paano kung mapilitan si Holy na pumirma ng isang kontrata na inilahad ni Eros upang mabayaran ang pagkaka-utang ng kaniyang kapatid rito? Mapipigilan pa kaya ni Eros si Holy sa pagpasok nito sa kumbento? Will it be possible for love to grow? Paano kung... isang malaking kasinungalingan lang pala ang lahat? Kakayanin kaya ni Holy ang mga sekretong malalaman niya? Love, betrayal, and a broken heart. Those are just one of the things that you'll experience once you fall in love. Are you still willing to be stuck in the devil's... arms?
