Shadow Amnesia

“I don’t belong to YOU, Maverick.” “Kitten, you’ve been MINE the second you stole my attention.” *** Him crossing paths with me was no accident. Falling in love with him was never part of my plans. It happened almost immediately. Maverick Quinn was like a dream come true. He entered my life like lightning in the darkest parts of my nightmares. I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame, craving his touch more than my lungs craved air, knowing he was slowly becoming my weakness. Flawed by my past, he brought out the worst and best of me without trying. But Maverick has a secret and everyone knows that secrets hold immense power.

"I love it when you say my name, printsessa, how long has it been? Two-" "Three years." I snap unintentionally wishing I could take the words back. A sly grinspreads across his angelic-looking face, "You've been counting." He states in a cocky tone. I place my hands flat on his chest, and I shove him away. "Still a cocky son of a bitch I see." I hiss, hating the way he makes my body burn with fever. Slowly panting through my parted lips, I realise that he is shirtless, his gold skin and sinuous muscle put on full display for my eyes to feast upon. His eyes look darker than I remember, smouldering with carnal intent. The perfect curve of his lips etches with cruelty. He's so hot with lust and anger that it should be a crime. He's sin in human form and he makes me want to be a sinner. "And you're still a stuck-up printsessa holding a grudge." He snarls, throwing his hands in the air --- Today was meant to be one of the happiest days of my life. Today, I was turning twenty-one and everyone whom I love dearly has shown up to celebrate it with me. Including the one man in my life who should be off-limits; forbidden. Things quickly turn sour, the air smells of death, gun powder, and vengeance. CAUSING my heart to still with fear, loss, and panic. When I realise the one man I vowed to hate forever, is the one person I can rely on to keep me safe. I must build a wall around my heart, and pray like fuck, that he doesn't break through it. My name is Zeynep Volkov, and this is my story about survival, deception and a love triangle that no one saw coming.

LUNA: My entire life, I believed I was a simple human with a desire to assist shifters at the hospital where I work. But I could never have foreseen what fate had in store for me the moment I laid eyes on Blazes. For anyone of us. As soon as our worlds collided, all we could see was each other, and our destinies were soon intertwined by a curse that revealed my true identity. Mated to two shifters, it is up to us to break the curse placed on their pack before their demise is written in stone. BLAZE: With every male born into my pack, I can feel my grip on reality slipping, and I know that time is running out. As the future Alpha, it is my responsibility to track down the witch who has caused all of our sufferings and compel her to either break the curse or accept death. It was not part of the mission to find my mate, but it turns out that she is the only one who can save us, and she quickly becomes my addiction… My every desire… Mine. We are bound by our curse. And our passion will only lead us to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession, beyond our limits. SAFFRON: I can see how Blaze regards our mate, and I refuse to kiss the ground she walks on as he does. My body aches for her, I cannot deny it. Unfortunately for me, my wolf is loyal to the point of willing self-destruction to protect her. And when the time comes for us to fulfill our destinies and break the curse... Will I be able to succumb to my temptation and then turn it off like a dripping faucet once the ritual is over?

“You should hate me,” He said softly, his cold gaze searching her warm eyes. She just looked up at him, a tired smile on her face. “I'm done. I don't have the strength to hate anyone anymore.” “Then you'll learn,” He murmured. “I'm not the kind of man you survive loving.” ****** Yara is born without a wolfㅡ an outcast to her own pack. Betrayed by her own family, she is banished and falls into the arms of the one man she's never supposed to meet. The lycan king. The one who everyone fears. She's his second chance. He's her last. But fate has a cruel way of playing and the stakes begin to get higher. Will they prevail? Or will the truth tear them apart before they can?

There is no Prince Charming in my world. Only beasts who claw and fight their way through the masses to get to the top. I was always told that I was a prize. A treasure to be cherished. My lineage was a desired treasure, a prize worth spilling blood for. Many would stop at nothing to claim the honour of being the one to leave their mark upon me, to impregnate me and forever intertwine our fates. A child born from me would possess a level of power that surpasses anything they have ever experienced or witnessed. I could never fully comprehend it until Ace Ripley came into my life revealing secrets that would forever alter my way of life. He was a man whom I believed to be our sworn enemy and when he takes my virginity, that's when everything changes and this brutal, ruthless man decides that he wants to keep me for himself. His to worship. His to pleasure. His to corrupt. Even if that means going to war with his best friend. My father. --- "She is mine, Nathanial. If you want to keep up this bullshit engagement to my son for her, fine. But come Saturday, I will be the one putting my ring on her finger. I'll be the one who gives you grandchildren, and it will be my name she takes. I will also protect her from everything and anything in this life that tries to fuck with her or hurt her. You've been warned, now you need to accept that is happening and there is no way in hell I am backing down from this.”

I was a soldier's wife. Less than two years into our marriage, I asked Lucian Summers for a divorce because I found a little handmade bracelet at home. It was not mine, and Lucian had never bought me cute little trinkets like this before. Lucian scoffed and said, "All because of that little thing?" I could not be bothered to explain this time, so I replied coldly, "Yeah. It's exactly because of that little thing."

Tanpa disangka-sangka, Nur yang baru tiga bulan bekerja di rumah majikannya, mengetahui sebuah rahasia besar di rumah itu. Ia berupaya mengumpulkan barang bukti untuk melaporkan sang majikan ke polisi. Tanpa barang bukti, laporan Nur tak diterima oleh kepolisian.

"Mas, lebih baik kita bercerai saja, kita jalani hidup masing-masing. Dengan begitu kita tidak perlu saling menyakiti lagi," ungkap Siti Latifa pada Harsa Ishara, melalui notifikasi pesanya. Harsa yang tadinya memang ingin mengunjungi keluarga kecilnya di rumah mertuanya itupun, mendapati notifikasi pesan dari Latifa seperti itu segera merealisasikan niatnya, tanpa berkabar terlebih dahulu. Harsa tiba di rumah orang tua Latifa. "Astagfirullah!" ucap Siti Latifa. Siti Latifa menyingkirkan dengan cepat tangan kekar yang melingkar di perut yang memeluknya dari arah belakang tubuhnya. Ia sangat terkejut, kesadaran cepat ia kuasai, sehingga tidak sampai membuat kegaduhan di pagi buta seperti ini, di rumah kedua orang tuanya. "Mas Harsa? Mengapa dia bisa ada disini? Kapan dia datang?" guman Siti Latifa sembari berusaha mengumpulkan kesadaran. Ia lekas beranjak dari posisinya yang kini sudah berubah pada posisi duduk. "Sayang, kamu mau ke mana?" tanya Harsa pelan. Tanpa merasa bersalah sedikitpun, dan dalam keadaan mata yang nampak masih terpejam, namun, satu lengan Harsa berhasil menahan laju sang pujaan hati untuk tetap berada di posisinya. Harsa berharap, sang istri, Siti Latifa, yang kerap dipanggil Ifa, itu, urung meninggalkannya. Karena, sejujurnya ia masih sangat merindukannya. Dengan memejamkan mata malas, sesaat Latifa berusaha meredam rasa yang sulit diartikan saat ini, akhirnya ia memilih sambil meredam kekesalannya dan masih tetap pada posisinya, duduk di tepi tempat tidur dan urung  hendak beranjak dari tempat tidur tersebut. Ada rasa bercampur aduk dalam hati Siti Latifa saat ini, antara rindu, kesal juga benci, ketika mengingat perlakuan suaminya terdahulu kepadanya. Namun, saat ini tentu bukan waktu yang tepat untuk mendeskripsikannya. Sungguh rasanya Latifa ingin pergi saja menghindari Harsa lebih dulu pada saat ini, jika tidak ingat akan membuat kegaduhan di rumah orang tuanya.
