Stay Strong Demi

Dad is famous for being a total simp over Mom in the elite society. Naturally, he views Callie Archer, the stepdaughter whom Mom has brought with her, as his own. But Callie is afflicted with a severe case of walking phobia. Her feet couldn't touch the ground at all. Only when she's stepping on my back can she roam around in the house freely. So, whenever Callie looks in a certain direction, Mom will press my head down and force me to crawl toward Callie to serve as her doormat. The doctor issues a warning to my family that my spine is severely contorted. So when Callie wants to admire the flowers in the yard while wearing a pair of spiked shoes again, I can't endure the pain anymore, so I shiver slightly out of instinct. Callie ends up losing her balance and falling to the ground. She bawls like a baby afterward. Mom rushes over immediately before kicking me in the gut, her high heel lodging into my flesh. "It's extremely rare for Callie to be willing to leave the house! Why must you ruin her mood? Can't you just be more understanding and play your role as a doormat for the sake of your sister's illness?" Meanwhile, Dad scoops Callie into his arms, his heart bleeding for her plight. He coaxes her gently, telling her that he'll buy her new dresses later. I can only curl up on the ground while hacking up blood. But Dad just thinks I'm playing the pity card. He commands his men to throw me into the basement. Apparently, I can only be released once I've learned to stay stationary when I'm supporting Callie. As I clutch my broken ribs, I feel my tears flowing down my face as well as the blood from my injuries. I'm sorry, Dad. Next time, I will definitely not move a muscle, just like a corpse.

I bought a breathtakingly handsome and sculpted werewolf slave from the magic black market. His rock-hard abs were on full display, and his deep V-lines pointed straight down into his tight, low-slung pants. But once I got him home, it was clear something was very wrong. A low, suppressed growl rumbled constantly in his throat. He stared at me with his golden wolf eyes, looking like he wanted to tear me apart and devour me whole. His body burned like a walking furnace. I thought he had wolfsbane fever and frantically contacted the seller. The seller was silent for three seconds after hearing my description. [My dear witch, is it possible he isn't sick, but just...hungry?] [The kind of hungry...that makes a werewolf want to pin you to a wall and sink his fangs into your neck to mark you?]

Scarlett is a twin of Oliver that was born to Alpha's parents. She and her twin possessed unimaginable abilities aside from being a wolf. This became an issue especially after a prophecy arose concerning their powers as well as the troubles that were involved. To cage their powers, Scarlett's mother sent her to a town thereby splitting the twins. However, it seemed that trouble lurks even in the dark. With a power-lusting witch on her neck that would stop at nothing to get control of her power, fate drove Scarlett right into her mate's arms, an Alpha that would fight to the end of the world on behalf of his mate. It then became a fight between the league of Alphas led by Luna. Would they succeed in their mission? Will Scarlett and Oliver's power be accepted eventually? Find out.

Alenya Vale has always been ordinary, or so she thought. Soft, curvy, and painfully underestimated, she never imagined that her human life was hiding a deadly secret. The truth? Alenya carries Null Blood, an ancient, extinct power that can erase magic on contact. Curses unravel at her touch, alpha commands bounce off her like sunlight, and even the most violent god fragments falter in her presence. To the supernatural world, she’s priceless. To the gods, she’s a threat. Thane Raelthorn is the heir of the most powerful wolf clan in Vaelora, and a demi-god slowly being consumed from within by a god fragment. His magic rages uncontrollably, destroying everything he touches, and every mate who comes near him suffers. Until the night he collapses at Alenya’s feet. The moment she touches him, the madness stops. For the first time in years, the wolf-born prince can breathe, think, and feel. Only she can silence the divine parasite clawing at his soul. Thrown into a world of wolf clans, arcane houses, and divine ruins, Alenya must navigate a realm that suddenly sees her as both savior and target. Assassins, jealous she-wolves, and monstrous god fragments are hunting her, and Thane will do anything to keep her alive. Soft and sarcastic, underestimated and overlooked, Alenya is more than she appears and her curves hold the power to topple gods and change destiny itself. Thane is more than he appears too, brutal, beautiful, and on the edge of madness, he is hers, whether she wants him or not. Fated mates. Dangerous magic. Divine predators. Only together can they survive a world that wants them dead and a destiny that wants them united.

After the 100th failed fertility treatment, my husband, who had been previously diagnosed with a low sperm count, spoke coldly. “Lucy is very fertile. She gets pregnant after our first time, unlike you. You just can’t conceive.” Lucy was my adoptive sister. While holding her hand, he laid out three options for me. I could either ignore their affair and retain my title as the CEO’s wife, take the ten million dollars and disappear, or walk away with nothing at all. The whole town knew how proud I was. They also knew how deeply I loved him. They surely expected me to be mad with jealousy and choose honor over compromise. But I neither cried nor made a scene. I calmly slid the check back across the table. “The child will call me Mom. I’ll stay and be Mrs. Carter.” After all, this was my third time to live such a life. The first time, I chose to leave with nothing but my dignity. The second time, I took the money, but had to live in shame. Both decisions ended in tragedy. For the third time, perhaps three of us could just... make it work.

J'étais la fille de l'Alpha de la Tribu Ashford – la louve la plus belle de tout le territoire du Sud. Les Alphas faisaient la queue pour me courtiser, et je ne daignais accorder un second regard à aucun d'entre eux. Jusqu'à ce que ma meilleure amie me lance un défi : « Sera, je te propose un pari. Tu crois pouvoir faire tomber mon frère Kieran amoureux de toi ? Si tu gagnes, je te donne le collier de lune de guérison de ma mère. Si tu perds, tu me passes cette voiture de sport en édition limitée que tu aimes tant. » D'innombrables belles louves avaient essayé de se glisser dans le lit de Kieran. Toutes avaient été froidement refusées. La toute première nuit après avoir accepté le pari, j'ai sauvé Kieran d'un empoisonnement à l'argent, et j'ai passé le reste de cette nuit à m'enlacer avec lui pendant qu'il brûlait de fièvre et de chaleur. Pendant les deux années qui ont suivi, il est devenu de plus en plus obsédé par moi. Sur la longue table de conférence de la salle de réunion de la tribu, il m'a plaquée sur les documents. Dans chaque pièce de son domaine privé, nous avons laissé des traces de notre passage. J'ai fini par tomber amoureuse de lui au cours d'innombrables moments intimes. Jusqu'à la nuit où j'ai accidentellement surpris sa conversation avec l'aîné de la tribu. « Alpha, il est temps d'annoncer qui sera Luna. » La voix de l'aîné était basse et délibérée. « Mlle Seraphina est à tes côtés depuis deux ans maintenant. Selon la tradition de la tribu... » « Assez. » Kieran l'a interrompu. « Elle et moi, on s'amuse juste. » L'aîné est resté silencieux un moment. « Et ton premier amour ? Quand vous vous êtes séparés, elle a demandé deux ans d'intervalle pour essayer d'autres compagnons. Ces deux ans sont écoulés maintenant. N'est-il pas temps pour elle de revenir ? » « Oui. » La voix de Kieran s'est enfin adoucie. « Il est temps pour elle de revenir. » C'est à ce moment-là que j'ai réalisé : son soi-disant véritable amour était ma demi-sœur. La personne que je détestais le plus au monde. Pendant deux ans, je n'avais été que son cobaye parce qu'il voulait essayer quelqu'un d'autre. Je me suis retournée et je suis partie sans hésiter. Mais cet Alpha puissant est devenu fou, il a parcouru tout le monde des loups-garous pour me retrouver.

Adrian had fallen into his brother's trap. Stripped of his Alpha title, he was exiled from the pack. On the road into exile, he was ambushed by rogue wolves. Broken and hopeless, he stopped fighting altogether, ready to die. As Adrian's kept lover, I was about to abandon him and run for my life — until a flood of glowing comments rolled across my vision. [The villainess is finally showing her true colors. Once she's gone, there'll be nothing stopping the hero and heroine from meeting.] [But she doesn't know the hero is still alive. When he reclaims his Alpha title, the first thing he does is exile everyone who ever betrayed him — the villainess included. She gets torn apart by rogue wolves in the end, and honestly, she deserves it.] My blood ran cold. Before I could even think, I threw myself into the rogues and took a claw strike meant for him. Adrian stared at me in disbelief. I turned back to him, forcing a grin through the pain. "Adrian, don't you dare die on me — who's going to keep me fed?"

Aku menikah tujuh kali dengan wanita yang sama. Demi cinta pertamanya, dia juga bercerai denganku tujuh kali. Saat pertama kali menikah, dia berkata kepadaku, "Aku hanya akan mencintaimu seorang dalam sisa hidupku." Namun, setiap kali cinta pertamanya pulang ke negara ini, dia langsung mengubah narasinya, "Bisa nggak kamu lebih dewasa sedikit? Apa kamu harus buat Roderick menanggung tuduhan menggoda istri orang?" Saat perceraian pertama, aku mengiris pergelangan tanganku untuk memaksanya tetap tinggal. Aku dibawa ambulans ke rumah sakit, tapi dia bahkan tidak datang menjengukku sekali pun. Saat perceraian ketiga, aku merendahkan gengsiku dan melamar sebagai asisten di perusahaannya, hanya agar punya kesempatan untuk lebih sering melihatnya. Saat perceraian keenam, aku sudah belajar untuk membereskan barang-barangku sendiri dengan patuh dan pindah dari rumah pernikahan kami. Sikapku yang kehilangan kendali, semua pengorbanan dan kepatuhanku ... hanya berujung dengan keputusannya untuk rujuk denganku berulang kali. Trik lama itu terus-menerus digunakannya berkali-kali. Sampai kali ini, setelah aku menerima kabar bahwa cinta pertamanya akan segera kembali, aku sendiri yang menyerahkan surat perjanjian cerai ke tangannya. Seperti biasa, dia menetapkan waktu untuk menikah lagi denganku. Namun dia tidak tahu, kali ini aku akan benar-benar pergi.
