"Hmm iya-in aja deh biar kau seneng. " Balasnya sambil tertawa. *** Mungkin nantinya tak akan ada yang tahu, bahwa ada seseorang yang selalu melangitkan do'a sendirian, berjuang dengan teguh nya, tanpa adanya sebuah dukungan, ia selalu yakin akan takdir Allah yang indah, Allah tak mungkin membiarkan do'a dan keteguhan dari hamba-Nya itu kembali dengan sia-sia. Meski selalu ada rintangan yang tak segan-segan menghampiri, bahkan terkadang rintangan itu memberi rasa luka di hati. Akankah ia mampu bertahan di atas derasnya rintangan itu? Ataukah perjuangannya akan berhenti sebelum Allah buka pintu do'anya? . Ingat, hal menyakitkan dalam hubungan percintaan adalah;"kita telah kehilangan sesuatu itu sebelum sempat memilikinya. "

'God, I'm late again!' Jane thought as she hurried through the streets. 'Mr. Smith is going to be so mad!' She decided to take a shortcut through some back alleys that she would normally rather avoid. Suddenly, she heard a series of whimpers, thumps, and yelps coming from another alley nearby. It sounded like a dog in pain, being beaten by something heavy 'Maybe if I make a noise, whatever is attacking that dog will get scared and run.' She stopped. She had just peaked her head around the corner and saw not one but two . . . men? . . . standing at the other end of a dead-end alley and overlooking a very large, furry pile of animals that seemed to be twitching. Normally, Jane would have been filled with terror at that moment, but terror was normally reserved for those with something to lose. There was a part of Jane, however, that still clung to the charade that was her life. Her hands began to tremble and her lungs released a scarcely audible gasp. Then the two standing figures turned and faced the end of the alley where Jane was hiding. "I'm going to call the police!" she shouted, lacking anything better to say. One of the figures shook his head and smiled. All his teeth seemed to be far too pointy. "That would be a very . . . terrible . . . mistake," he hissed, his words escaping his mouth like dead air from a pharaoh's tomb. And then both of them headed towards her at an inhuman pace. "No," one of them rasped. "Finish it. I'll get the girl." The other one stopped and snarled some kind of response.

Buong akala ni Sky hindi na siya magkakagusto pa sa isang lalaki, matapos lokohin ng boyfriend niya noon at iwan ng Papa niya para sa ibang babae. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang makilala niya si Zach Villanueva, ang bagong CEO ng kumpanyang pinagtatrabahuan niya. Lihim siyang humanga dito, ngunit malayong magustuhan siya ng boss niyang perfectionist at may mataas na standard. Nang minsang magbiro ang tadhana, sa kasal ng kanyang ina, natuklasan niyang si Zach ay hindi lang basta boss, kundi anak ng lalaking papakasalan ng Mama niya. Stepbrother niya ang lalaking lihim niyang hinahangaan. Mas lalong naging kumplikado ang sitwasyon nang mapilitan silang magsama sa iisang bubong. Sa bawat titig, sa bawat paglapit, at sa bawat paghinga sa iisang espasyo, mas lumalalim ang tensyon sa pagitan nila. Isang tensyon na hindi dapat mabuo… pero imposibleng pigilan. Family by law.

At the company's celebration dinner, the new HR guy slapped a bill on the table—$860 for A/C and venue costs from our last all-nighter. I shot a look at Sherry—my girlfriend, my boss—thinking she'd have my back. Nope. She latched onto HR's arm and said, "Quentin, this isn't your daddy's company. Quit freeloading." And just like that, nine years of busting my ass for this company, and turns out—I was the discount item on the menu.

“I will let you see your family, but you can't leave this palace, Selene. This is home, and I will refine you into a strong she-wolf." “I never want that. You already have Luna by your side; the strongest she-wolf in the Eldoria. You might be wrong; I'm not your mate." Selene interjected as she gently rubbed her palms together. Rayne chuckled softly at the woman's words, and this sounded like music to Selene's ears. The devil was undeniably handsome but cruel in her eyes. “The maids will attend to you; make yourself comfortable. I will come to you tomorrow to officially welcome you as my concubine." He said, rising from the bed, as he watched her shake her head in denial. “I don't want to live here." She rasped. “You are tied to me, Selene. To me and no one else," He declared as he walked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. *** When Selene went to the celebration, she didn't know that would be the last time she would see her family. She was claimed and rejected by the Alpha king but with one condition. She won't be able to gain his heart and will have to become a breeder. What will happen when the Alpha king suddenly discovers she is his true fated mate but she escapes from the palace?
