Strawberry Cookie Run

Elara Vance was never a bride...She was a transaction. To save her brother’s life and settle her father’s crumbling debts, she sold herself into a three year "Repayment Marriage" to the coldest man in the city, Julian Vane. For three years, she endured his frozen silence, his public indifference, and the cruel whispers of a high society that saw her as nothing more than a social prop. She played the role of the perfect, submissive wife, hiding her world-class talent and her breaking heart behind a mask of glass. She waited for a spark of warmth, a sign that the man who held her at night felt more than just obligation. Then came the morning after their final night together, the night she thought finally changed everything. Instead of a "good morning," Julian tossed a manila envelope onto the bed. "The debt is paid, Elara. Sign the papers and leave. I’m done with you." Julian thought he was finally rid of the woman he blamed for his past. He didn't expect her to sign the papers with a smile. He didn't expect her to vanish into thin air, leaving his massive mansion echoing with a silence that felt like a curse. But Elara didn't leave alone. She left with a secret, a tiny heartbeat that Julian would never know about. Now, the hunter has become the haunted. As Elara rises from the ashes of her old life to become a woman the world can't ignore, Julian is left to realize that the wife he threw away was the only thing holding his world together. The debt is settled. The game has changed. And this time, he’s the one who will have to pay... with his soul.

It had been seven years since I broke the mate bond with Dark Wood Pack's Alpha, Shane Lewis. I ran a floral boutique in the Neutral Zone. On an ordinary day, a little girl stood at the door and was staring at me in a daze. She looked about six or seven years old. She was very pretty. Something about the curve of her eyes and brows felt strangely familiar, especially those amber eyes. Our gazes met. In an instant, memories flooded my mind like a movie reel. They were memories that had once caused me unbearable pain. I quickly called out to her. "Hey there, kid. Do you want to try this candy? "It's made from primrose. It's very sweet." She accepted the candy and listened as I talked casually. I told her that I used to be the Luna of Silver Moon Pack. I once had a primrose estate. Unfortunately, someone took it from me. I told her I once had a daughter too. She should be about the same age as the girl now. The girl looked curious. "Do you hate the bad people who took your things?" she asked. I looked at her for a long time and smiled. "Not anymore," I said.

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

Three days before her wedding, Aurora Vale, the young heiress of a luxury fashion empire, walks into her fiancé’s office—only to find him kissing his ex-lover.

Now he’ll do anything to win her back. But Aurora isn’t the same woman he betrayed. Between love, revenge, and a secret that could ruin them both— which will she choose?

Stevia Lavanza, gadis cantik dengan kemahirannya dalam memainkan biola. Memiliki tipe idaman laki-laki yang bisa bermain piano. Hingga suatu hari dia menemukan laki-laki itu.

“Ah… uhm..” Sebuah ingatan singkat menghantam Hanna. Alarm KB—ia lupa menyalakannya pagi ini. Di negara Valthera, masa depan setiap perempuan ditentukan oleh implan KB—alat kendali biologis yang menautkan mereka dengan pasangan pilihan pemerintah sesuai DNA. Sistem itu diciptakan demi stabilitas- menekan populasi, memastikan kecocokan genetik, menciptakan keluarga “sempurna.” Tapi kenyataannya jauh dari utopia. Angka perceraian justru meroket. Kehangatan keluarga hilang, berganti hubungan hampa yang hanya patuh pada aturan. Tapi satu kesalahan kecil mengubah segalanya—malam itu ia lupa mengaktifkan implan. Tubuhnya justru terkunci dengan pria terakhir yang seharusnya ia hindari—Profesor Liam, pencipta sistem itu sendiri. Jika aturan dilanggar, implan tidak lagi melindungi, melainkan mengikat. Tubuh akan mengenali pria pertama yang menyentuhnya sebagai pusat loyalitas biologis. Dan yang paling ironis—pria itu kini resmi menjadi kakak tirinya.

Dialah lelaki yang selama ini menguasai mimpinya. “Jangan lakukan ini, Jenderal,” bisik Li Lian. Suaranya gemetar—bukan karena takut, tapi karena hatinya sudah lebih dulu menyerah.

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.

Tonight was the Luna ceremony of Michelle Wright, a pure Alpha descendant. The one who personally placed the Luna crown on her head was Ronan Black, the Alpha of the Sacred Wolf Pack, who had shared my bed for five years. And I, reduced to an Omega, stood like an abandoned spirit in the darkest corner of the altar. To humiliate me, Michelle poured the pure Alpha blood that symbolized honor straight over my body. She accused me of being consumed by jealousy, pointing to a wound she had cut with a silver blade. She even fabricated false evidence, claiming I had consorted with rogues and betrayed the pack. As the Stone of Reckoning displayed my name and the order of exile, and the crowd prepared to drag me away, I lifted my gaze. "Ronan, did you ever consider that your precious Luna might be a fraud who stole my bloodline and claimed it as her own?"
