Pengkhianatan adalah hal yang tidak dapat dimaafkan. Namun, jika dengan berkhianat dapat memberi keuntungan, lakukanlah. Pukulan dibalas dengan pukulan, darah dibalas dengan darah, pengkhianatan dibalas dengan tipuan. Seorang lelaki tua yang berada di dalam ruangan gelap tersenyum memperlihatkan barisan giginya yang rapi. Sorot matanya tajam, berpakaian serba hitam dilengkapi topi fedora dengan warna senada. "Permainan akan segera dimulai," ujarnya diiringi senyum yang lebih lebar, serta jarinya yang menekan tombol ENTER. Dalam beberapa detik, setiap rumah, gedung, bahkan lampu jalanan kehilangan pencahayaan. Anjing-anjing menggonggong. Suasana malam yang sepi berubah menjadi sangat bising.

Adrienne prides herself for being smart, prim and proper. She doesn’t go against the rules of society and refuse to even take a shot of Tequila. In other words: Conservative. Boring. For just one night, she let lose. She left her eyeglasses, flat shoes, long skirt and knitted sweater behind. In high heels and a dress that accented her long legs and curves, she went to a club by herself and decided to find out what it was like to have a good time. Her night couldn’t even be more perfect when Justin Adams, the city’s most sought after bachelor, a.k.a. most notorious playboy fell prey to the charms she didn’t even know she possessed. Justin was every girl’s dream boat, but he never committed to a woman. He didn't date and didn't do relationships. But what was supposed to be just a one night stand with the City's most wanted playboy became a full-blown secret affair. Soon, she will find out that she's been living her life with all the right intentions... but for all the wrong reasons.

Amitha Kanyaah, setelah mengalami kesialan beruntun dirinya jatuh hati dengan Bos Besar--musuh yang seharusnya ia benci. Lelaki berparas rupawan itu penyebab keluarganya hancur dan hilang, kembali ke pelukan semesta. Lelaki itu yang membuat Akademi menuduhnya berkhianat pada negara. Lelaki itu pula yang menyuruh para bawahannya menyiksanya sepanjang hari juga malam. Lelaki itu pula yang hampir merenggut harga diri dan nyawanya. Bagaimana mungkin Amitha Kanyaah bisa jatuh cinta? * "Bos Besar tidak sejahat itu, Kanyaah. Menyerahlah!" pinta lelaki berjas putih, Domanic Elf. . "Aku tidak mengerti kenapa kamu masih hidup setelah penyiksaan ini. Aku yang menyiksamu saja lelah." Mendesah. "Tidak mau mengakui saja?" tanya Gelegar Awan. . "Gadis sialan. Kamu membuatku ingin merobek perutmu dan memasukan semua ini langsung ke dalam lambung!" umpat Qi Shaoyun. . Amitha Kanyaah hanya memejamkan mata dan menutup telinganya. Dia ingin bertahan. Hingga matanya terbuka, kini bukan lelaki serba hitam atau serba putih yang mendatanginya. Dia mengenakan jubah hijau kelam dengan topi bundar. Terdapat tongkat kecil di tangannya. Dalam satu tatapannya, Amitha Kanyaah membeku. "Setelah hampir setengah tahun hidup penuh siksaan. Haruskan aku menyerah dengan lelaki di depannya! Sungguh memalukan."

I was the sole front desk clerk at a haunted hotel. Welcoming players, checking in on the bosses’ quarters, and slacking off a bit were all part of the job. At least, that was what I thought. It turned out my days were far from ordinary. A blood-drenched little girl in a tattered red dress kept ringing the service bell. Her eerie voice echoed, “Miss, why didn’t you come play with me?” A creepy black cat with glowing eyes wouldn’t stop meowing and rubbing against my legs. And then there was the old woman with claws like knives, cheerfully knitting me a sweater… out of players’ skin. One day, I took a day off to care for my sick mother. That was my biggest mistake. The entire game instance erupted in chaos. Bosses interrogated players, demanding to know where their precious front desk clerk had gone. “Did she abandon us? Is she never coming back?” I ran. They chased. But no matter how fast I fled, their grip on me only tightened. In the end, escape wasn’t an option.

Mate. I froze mid-step, Venom has never said that word before. I've suddenly forgotten the Rogues I was chasing, my whole attention now on the emotions I was feeling. My vision sharpened, focusing on the faint sound of labored breathing just ahead. My heart hammered in my chest as I walked closer, the bond pulling me forward with an urgency I hadn’t felt in decades. The first thing I saw was her hair, a messy dark bun with strands of white, unusual yet unique. She sat curled up against the base of an old tree, arms wrapped tightly around her knees, shoulders trembling. Her thin, tattered sweater barely shielding her from the cold air. She looked... fragile, a word I never thought I’d associate with my mate. Ariel’s life has been anything but easy. Orphaned as a child and left in the care of a cruel stepfather and stepbrother, she’s endured years of emotional and physical abuse. Despite her circumstances, she’s always felt something stirring beneath the surface—an unexplained restlessness, vivid dreams of running under the moonlight, and a deep connection to the forest around her. Zayn, the alpha of the Shadowcrest pack, has spent years searching for his fated mate, the one who would complete him and stand by his side to no avail…he had finally given up on ever finding her. His pack thrives under his leadership, but his heart has grown weary, doubting the Moon Goddess’s promise of a mate. When a chance encounter leads him to Ariel, he’s stunned to discover that the fragile, broken girl is his destined partner—and more than that, she’s a wolf completely unaware of her true nature.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”
