Puisi 12 Bait

By day, he's Chicago's most powerful billionaire. By night, he's the city's most dangerous protector. Elena Moretti has spent years fighting for the forgotten—rescuing at-risk youth from the violence that claimed her brother's life. She doesn't trust wealth, power, or the men who wield them. So when enigmatic billionaire Dante Salvatore walks into her struggling community center with a check that could change everything, she knows there's a catch. Men like him don't save neighborhoods out of the goodness of their hearts. But Elena doesn't know Dante's secret: by night, he becomes The Sentinel, a masked vigilante dismantling the criminal empire that murdered his sister. As their worlds collide and attraction ignites between them, Elena begins investigating the vigilante whose methods both terrify and fascinate her—never suspecting the man she's falling for and the man she's hunting are one and the same. When a ruthless crime syndicate discovers The Sentinel's identity, Elena becomes the bait in a deadly trap. Dante must risk everything to save her, but when Elena uncovers the truth about the man behind the mask, she's forced to decide: Can she love someone who lives in shadows? And can a man who's spent years seeking vengeance ever truly step into the light? In a pulse-pounding tale of passion, danger, and redemption, two wounded souls discover that the most dangerous risk isn't fighting for justice—it's fighting for love.

Elijiah Kris Bach, a CEO of the Bach Group of Companies, owning chains of hospitals and pharmacies, manufacturing the most trusted medicines and ruling the world of pharmaceutics and the field of medicine, has always been able to let her empire stand alone until she was pestered by the board to agree for marriage of convenience and produce an heir to secure the company's future especially now that her Lolo, the last living owner of the Bachs, is not getting any younger and is suffering from heart complications. After she went home to the Philippines after for almost 12 years, unexpected events with the oddest people she met welcomed her. Everything was too overwhelming especially those hazel eyes owned by a cardiothoracic surgeon in one of her hospitals that are so familiar to her – eyes that can make her feel a mixture of euphoria and a pang of pain. "I'm confident I could heal people's hearts. Including yours," He said but could he really? Could he really heal her cold and broken heart?

They call him the Human Alpha—the most feared man in the werewolf world, despite having no wolf of his own. Shahira's life shattered the night her mate, the ruthless heir of the Moontide Pack rejected her in front of the entire pack for being "too weak." Humiliated and broken, she's cast out with nothing but scars and shame. Then she meets him. Daren Methlock doesn't have a wolf. Twenty-five years ago, his entire clan was slaughtered by a coalition of packs led by Moontide Pack. As a baby, his dying pack performed a forbidden ritual—sacrificing their wolves to save his life. Now, he's stronger, faster, and deadlier than any Alpha who ever lived. And he's spent the last six years hunting down every pack responsible for the massacre. Moontide is last on his list. When Daren's enemies capture Shahira as bait, he saves her—and discovers she's his second chance mate. The bond ignites between them like wildfire, but her ex-mate is Daren's greatest enemy. Loving her means complications. Using her means revenge. But Shahira has secrets of her own. She knows things about Moontide's Alpha—things that could jeopardize everything Daren has worked for. And when she discovers the real reason his clan was massacred, both of them will have to choose: justice or love, vengeance or mercy. Because the night of the massacre, not everyone died. And the one who survived wants Daren's power for themselves. In a world of fangs and fury, the human Alpha might be the most dangerous predator of all.

My Alpha mate secretly marked me for three years. I helped him manage the pack as a Beta and even helped him successfully run for Alpha King. But after the successful election, he publicly announced that his Omega assistant Scarlett was the one who helped him the most. "I'm announcing that 15% of our territory will be placed under Stella's management. From today forward, Stella's position in the pack will be second only to mine." With two simple sentences, he'd erased twelve years of my efforts. But my mate thought I was making a mountain out of a molehill. "I just showed a little extra care for the pack's Omega," he said dismissively. "My body never strayed. You're acting like I committed some unforgivable sin." I turned and left, aborted our child and proposed a mate bond severance agreement. Then, I called a number that I hadn't contacted for 12 years. “I regret it. I am willing to be the Alpha of your pack.”

I marry the comatose heir of Jebony's most affluent family for the ten million dollars in wedding gifts. In the year after the wedding, I undergo 12 rounds of IVF and finally give birth to the Larkin family's successor. When our son turns five, Jacob Larkin miraculously wakes up. The media goes wild, calling me the Larkin family's lucky star. They say I'll live a life of endless privilege. I merely smile—the first look Jacob gives me after waking up is one full of disdain. He even warns me icily, "You're nothing more than a woman my father paid to bear me an heir. Don't kid yourself that I'll ever fall for you! "I grew up with Angela. If not for that accident, you would never have become my wife." I hand him the divorce papers and say calmly, "I'll step aside, then. I'll give you and Ms. Lloyd what you want."

The ice doesn’t lie. Neither does the hunger. Isaac Corres is done being the quiet shadow behind a hockey superstar. When Derek Coleman dumped him in the middle of a championship run, he didn't just break Isaac’s heart—he ignited a war. Isaac isn't looking for a rebound; he’s looking for leverage. And he finds it in the most dangerous man on the ice: Santiago Vega. Santiago is the Warhawks’ Enforcer—a predator in pads, a wolf who doesn't play by the rules and certainly doesn't do "romance." He’s a wall of muscle, cold authority, and suppressed rage. When Isaac approaches him with a proposition for a fake, high-stakes rivalry to humiliate the man who betrayed them both, Santiago doesn’t refuse. He takes the bait with a growl. But the line between strategy and instinct is razor-thin. In the neon-soaked, frozen tunnels of the San Antonio Ice Arena, their deal turns into a scorched-earth affair. Every stare is a challenge; every touch is a claim. Santiago is used to controlling the fire in his blood, but Isaac’s defiance is the one thing he can’t break—or stop craving. As the series heats up and the physical toll of their "arrangement" turns into a primal, 18+ game of dominance and surrender, Isaac realizes the truth: Santiago Vega wasn't looking for a pawn. He was looking for a mate. The cameras are watching. The fans are screaming. And on the ice, where the air is thin and the secrets are lethal, Isaac is about to find out exactly what happens when an Alpha decides he’s done sharing. One goal. Two hearts on the chopping block. And a heat that’s about to shatter the ice.
