Pure Vanilla Cookie Run

Tara und Mike haben sich nicht ausgesucht. Eine arrangierte Ehe verbindet sie und zwingt sie in ein Zusammenleben, das so brennend wie explosiv ist. Sie, kühn, hartnäckig, will diesen Mann mit dem feurigen Blick zähmen, diesen kalten, jähzornigen Ehemann, der seine Verletzungen hinter einer Mauer aus Eis verbirgt. Er, geplagt von seinen Ängsten, zerfressen von Eifersucht, kämpft gegen die Unruhe an, die diese aufsässige Frau in ihm weckt. Zwischen Auseinandersetzungen und Anziehung wird ihr Alltag zu einem Schlachtfeld, auf dem jedes Wort eine Waffe und jeder Blick eine Provokation ist. Tara will ihn verstehen, ihn zwingen zu lieben. Mike will sich vor ihr schützen, aber am Ende brennt er vor Verlangen nach ihr. In diesem Krieg, in dem sich Liebe und Hass umschlingen, findet der wahre Kampf woanders statt: zu lernen, Vertrauen zu schenken, zu respektieren, zu heilen. Aber wenn zwei verletzte Seelen aufeinanderprallen, kann man wirklich auf Frieden hoffen … oder nur die Asche einer unmöglichen Liebe ernten? Die Herausforderungen einer Prinzessin

Aku yang bekerja di unit rahasia ditugaskan oleh atasan untuk mengantarkan dokumen ke perusahaan kakak perempuanku. Begitu aku melangkah masuk ke kantornya, seorang pekerja magang menghalangi jalanku. "Kamu asisten baru itu?" Orang itu mengamatiku dari ujung kepala sampai ujung kaki, lalu akhirnya memfokuskan pandangannya pada dokumen di tanganku sebelum mencibir, "Kamu sudah mau jilat Bu Arabella di hari pertama kerja? Apa kamu bahkan nggak bercermin?" Pada saat ini, aku baru menyadari bahwa dia menganggapku sebagai saingan asmaranya. Namun, kakakku juga tidak pernah memberitahuku bahwa dia memiliki pacar. Sebelum aku bisa menjelaskan, sebuah tamparan keras sudah mendarat di wajahku. "Cuma aku yang boleh jadi asisten Bu Arabella! Jangan harap kamu bisa jadi pacarnya!" Dia menjambak rambutku dan menyiramkan teh panas ke wajahku. "Kamu masih begitu muda, tapi malah mau hidup dengan andalkan perempuan dan merayu wanita kaya? Hari ini, aku akan gantikan orang tuamu beri kamu pelajaran!" Aku meringkuk di lantai dan masih mati-matian melindungi map dokumen dengan tubuhku. Tindakan itu benar-benar membuatnya marah. Dia merebut map itu dan merobeknya hingga hancur di depan seluruh karyawan perusahaan. Dia bahkan dengan tidak malunya berkata kepada kakakku, "Bu Arabella, asisten barumu cukup bernyali dan mencoba merayumu. Tapi jangan khawatir, aku sudah beri dia pelajaran."

In my tenth year of being the Luna of the Nocturne pack, the first love of my mate, Alpha Stellan Caldwell, returns to the pack. With a bouquet of dead wolfsbane in her hands, Nigella Starveil barges into the anniversary of the mate-bonding ceremony between Stellan and me. "Stellan, I still remember you telling me that you're willing to endure all types of poison in the world just for my sake. Does that promise still count?" Before Nigella finishes her sentence, Stellan, my powerful yet distant Alpha, feels his expression change instantly. He doesn't even bother sparing me a glance. All he sees is the bouquet of dead flowers that are equally deadly to Nigella. Stellan rushes up to Nigella and swipes the bouquet out of her hands roughly, not caring about the fact that everyone is staring at him right now. Silence befalls the hall instantly. From my position behind Stellan, I know right away that I've been reduced to the biggest laughingstock in the Northern Territories. The fact that Stellan doesn't hesitate to protect Nigella becomes the biggest insult that humiliates me to no end. It turns out that ten years of companionship and shared struggles are nothing compared to the bouquet of dead wolfsbane in Nigella's hands. After that, Nigella shoots me a smug and contemptuous look while rubbing her reddened wrist. "Do you see now? This is proof that he loves me. You've already tried to do your part as the breeding machine, so you can now retire from your position." In the past, Stellan had barged into the forbidden lands in search of Nigella. He almost got shredded into a thousand pieces there. But now, he's still willing to humiliate me in public just for her sake.

Today is the death anniversary of Jordan Willis, the Alpha of the Moonshadow Pack. He's also known as my dead mate. My name is Sasha Calhoun, a she-wolf who descends from a family with a weakened bloodline. I'm also the current Luna of the Moonshadow Pack. In a world where the bloodline purity determines the status quo of werewolf society, I seem to exist solely to enter a marriage alliance with Jordan, the Alpha who comes from the most elite family with a pureblooded heritage. This is a political trade meant to strengthen Jordan's position in his family as well as reassure the Elder Council. A year ago, Alpha Jordan sacrificed himself in a blazing inferno while on a mission. I become the most pitied she-wolf in the pack who has to keep the only light on in my empty home. At the same time, I need to protect the only flicker of hope in this pack. As I carry a bouquet of white lilies, which were Alpha Jordan's favorite flowers when he was still alive, I approach his grave. The pup in my womb seems to have picked up on my emotions, for it kicks me gently. I can feel the hum of a powerful and pure-blooded lifeform from the movement. It's the lifeblood of a pup destined to become the future powerful Alpha. Even though I'm still carrying the pup, I still feel reassured and proud. But the next thing I know, I spot a wolf sinking down to one knee far away on the horizon. He appears to be proposing to my younger sister, Winnie Calhoun. Even though there's more than 300 feet between us, I can still smell the Alpha's familiar scent, which seizes me by my heart. After all, I had once immersed myself in that particular scent for countless days and nights in the past. That Alpha… is actually Alpha Jordan, who supposedly died one year ago! I instinctively clutch my belly, my palm caressing the newly-developed heartbeat of my unborn pup. Then, I call the pack guards.

In Crestmoon Pack, strength is measured by bloodline… and worth is measured by gender. Philipa Kadel is born different—an Alpha female in a world where only males are allowed to shine. While her elder brother Kaden is worshipped for the power he should have, Philipa is punished for the power she actually possesses. Trained in secret. Silenced in public. Ignored by her father, despised by her mother, and denied every right she earned. Until the night she finally proves them wrong. But instead of pride, Alpha Kadel gives his daughter a gift she will never forget— he sells her off as a mate to the most feared, cold-blooded Alpha in the region… days before Christmas Day. Disappointed, and determined to escape her arranged maririage, she ran off to the deadly all male academy in the entire northern region with a tital disguise, where she became the target of the academy most ruthless student. What started as a hateful-bully relationship between them slowly turned to a heated passion. And the mate she ran away from, was her school bully.

We will only believe she is changed for the better when she is dead.” So why was it that when they saw me lying in a pool of blood after shielding a hostage, they finally cried?
