Nightmare Island

A young, beautiful she-wolf moves into the house opposite mine. She always strikes up conversations with me, her tone filled with enthusiasm. "You and Mr. Howl have such a great relationship. Even after seven years of marriage, he still kisses you goodbye when he leaves. It’s so sweet." She blinks playfully before continuing, "I have a friend who constantly complains about his mate. He says every time he kisses her, it feels like he's kissing a fat pig. Her scent disgusts him, and he can't even get hard when she's around. "And at night… just the sight of her belly rolls and sagging skin makes him want to throw up." I don’t particularly like this she-wolf, but I still offer her a polite smile. That night, however, when my mate kisses me, he suddenly freezes—then pushes me away and runs to the bathroom to vomit.

Seven years ago, it was love at first sight when I met Lucas Yates, who was still a nameless thug at the time. For him, I chose to leave my wealthy family. After seven years of dating, he throws me a grand wedding the day he finally becomes the head of Devil's Advocate, a mafia organization. On the day of our wedding, his childhood friend, Yelena Jackman, crashes the venue. She confesses her love for Lucas, but he rejects her without any hesitation, vowing he will only ever love me in this life. Just as we're exchanging rings, Lucas' enemies show up to cause trouble. When he sees the gun pointing at me, he lunges forward to protect me without a second thought. Yelena, who should have run, takes three bullets while protecting Lucas and falls into a coma due to severe blood loss. Overwhelmed by guilt, Lucas sends her to the best hospital in the world. I have the same blood type as Yelena, so in the attempt to save her life, I donate so much blood that I go into shock. Guilt leaves me with sleepless nights. Every day, I pray she'll wake up. I'm even willing to look after her for the rest of my life if I have to. Lucas keeps comforting me, saying that I don't need to feel so guilty, as Yelena did all of it of her own volition. He says he'll take up the responsibility of making it up to her. I'm extremely grateful to Yelena for saving Lucas and allowing me to have such a wonderful husband. However, on the day of our third wedding anniversary, I receive a mysterious message. "Lucille, you shameless homewrecker! I'm his lawfully wedded wife! If you know what's good for you, you'd better scram and go as far away as you can. If you don't believe me, you can always head to City Hall to see just who is registered as Lucas' lawful wife!"

Selene was a long-lost princess that grew up with her immortal parents in the world that she has after finding her on a stormy night. She was a beautiful and smart woman that dreamed to full fill her life as other normal people do. However, she won't have to do that because her destiny was chasing her. She needed to find the truth behind her personality as she found out that her destiny in this world was too elusive, for her. Until the time came and she found the world where she belong after a long journey. And from the new world where she was, she meet a man that she needed to avoid from the beginning according to her destiny. But her heart and her eyes seemed to be bounded on him. Do love matter despite of truth that she may know in the future? Is she able to make her destiny right for love or she will go to the flow of her revenge for the man that made her past life miserable?

Some fairy tales have happy endings, some have tragic ones, but there are also some fairy tales that never really end. Let's say, the story of a crown prince who was never crowned, a younger brother who pursued pseudo revenge, a lotus princess who never became a lotus flower, or the story of siblings who were banished without breadcrumbs. For a long time hanging around without any certainty, the tales accidentally unite to achieve the same goal. Being in the same side. Fight against the same enemy. Seize the happy ending, because the darkness doesn't deserve it.

Mon père est le Bêta de la meute, et notre famille possède une tradition qui consiste à marier une fille à un Roi Alpha. La veille du mariage, pour sauver ma demi-sœur, j'entre dans le Nid Sauvage, un lieu de rassemblement pour les loups solitaires. Le lendemain, pendant la cérémonie de lien de compagnon, une vidéo de moi en train d'être violée par des loups solitaires est montrée au public. Le roi Alpha, furieux, refuse de me marquer, et ma demi-sœur Emma devient la Luna à ma place. Je deviens une salope aux yeux des membres de la meute, et ils exigent que je sois exilée pour satisfaire les loups solitaires jour et nuit, oubliant que je subis leurs représailles pour protéger la meute ! Alors que je souffre au point de m'effondrer, Antoine, le frère du roi Alpha, me fait la cour : « Sophie, je t'ai toujours aimée en silence, et au nom de la lune, j'aimerais être ton compagnon permanent. » Très émue, je choisis de devenir sa compagne. Un an après le mariage, le médecin de la meute me dit que je pourrais concevoir un petit loup-garou. Je suis impatiente de voir Antoine, mais je surprends accidentellement une conversation entre lui et son subordonné. « Antoine, à l'époque, on a aidé les loups solitaires à s'introduire dans la meute, et a utilisé Emma pour piéger Sophie dans le Nid Sauvage, et a même laissé les loups solitaires diffuser la vidéo où elle était violée. Sophie est si gentille avec toi maintenant, nous avons fait quelque chose de mal à ce moment-là, non ? » Antoine soupire : « Il fallait la sacrifier pour qu'Emma puisse épouser mon frère. » « Elle a tellement souffert, je passerai ma vie à me rattraper. »

Le jour du mariage, mon fiancé a fui et a épousé ma petite sœur. Au mariage, alors que j'étais gênée, Guillaume s'est mis à genoux et m'a demandé de l'épouser. Dans ma ville, tout le monde connaissait Guillaume - un célibataire d'or, le rêve de toutes les femmes célibataires. Pourtant, il a passé la bague à mon annulaire et m'a avoué : « Je t'ai toujours aimée en secret. Merci à Dieu de me donner cette chance de passer le reste de ma vie avec toi. » Nous nous sommes mariés. Il était toujours bon avec moi, et tout le monde savait que Guillaume ne tomberait jamais amoureux d'une autre personne que moi. Jusqu'à ce que, sept ans plus tard, je découvre par hasard son atelier. Il avait peint des milliers de portraits d'Inès, ma sœur. Chaque tableau était une déclaration d'amour pour Inès. L'homme que j'aimais priait Dieu avec ferveur : « Tant qu'Inès reste heureuse, je sacrifierais tout, y compris ma vie. » Sept ans d'amour n'étaient qu'un mensonge. Inès était toujours celle qu'il aimait. Alors, je me retirais. Dans trois jours, je partirais. Je leur souhaitait, à lui et à Inès, un bonheur éternel.

Serta berjuang melawan musuh yang sama. Rebutlah akhir bahagia itu, karena kegelapan tidak pantas mendapatkannya.
