The Land Before Time Ali

“Lupakan aku, sih.” “Maaf, aku tidak bisa menjaga hatiku hanya buat kamu,” Suaranya serak menahan tangis meski sebenarnya ia tidak ingin mengakhiri hubungan yang selama ini ia jaga. “Jadi setelah dua tahun aku menunggu Kang Harun kembali, ini balasan yang Kang Harun berikan?" Asih menangis tersedu. Ia sungguh tidak menyangka bahwa usahanya menjemput Harun setiap hari di stasiun selama ini akan sia-sia semata. Harun hanya menunduk menyembunyikan kebohongan yang ia berikan untuk Asih. Ia tidak bisa melihat perempuan yang ia sayangi terluka. Ingin sekali ia memaki dirinya sendiri karena tidak bisa membahagiakan orang terkasih. “Menikahlah dengan pilihan Emak,” Harun segera bangkit dan meninggalkan Asih. Hatinya semakin terluka menyadari keadaan yang tidak berpihak padanya. Lalu, apakah Asih akan menerima permintaan Harun begitu saja?

The explosion wiped out my parents—and their company. All I had left was some insurance cash and a pile of patents nobody cared about. I begged their old partners to back me. Crickets. Then Alex Ross strolled in, played the hero no one asked for, and proposed. Five years deep into our marriage, after my 99th FDA rejection, I finally cracked. I was in the garage when I heard his phone on speaker. Mark's voice came through: "Dude, you're still handing Lily Emma's blueprints before she even files? How many times has she flopped now? Girl's relentless, huh?" Alex? Straight-up ice. "Ninety-nine. She'll quit soon." "You're really tanking your wife to boost Lily's brand? Worth it?" "Lily's launching her new product tomorrow at the Boston Medical Summit. Patent number 100. Watching her blow up from nothing... makes me proud." "But it's all Emma's stuff. Your dad made you marry her for her brain, didn't he?" "Don't bring up my father." His voice turned sharp. "He forced me to dump Lily. I just played along." I sank into the driver's seat, frozen. I wasn't a partner. Just a pawn—revenge bait for his dad and backup fuel for his ex.

I dated my lawyer boyfriend for five years. He canceled our wedding. Fifty-two times. First time? His intern messed up some paperwork. He ditched me at the beach to fix it. I waited all day. Alone. Second time, we were mid-ceremony when he bolted. Heard that intern was getting heat from another lawyer and left me to face the guests and their stares. After that, every time we tried again, there was always some "emergency" with her. Always. I finally hit my limit. I was done. Packed up and broke it off. But the day I left Ainsley? He totally lost it trying to find me.

Dean Romero is not your average Tiger Shifter. He is the king or the Neta of the Island Stripe Pride, operating out of Manhattan. Wanting to avoid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, this Neta elects to spend Christmas at his newly built cabin in a remote section of the Pine Barrens just outside of Maccon City, New Jersey. A town notorious among supernaturals for its Shifter ties. Violet Martinez is a nail technician stuck working on the holidays. Asked to make a house call she has no choice but to drive to an important client’s house on Christmas Eve. She’d much rather be at home curled up with her favorite mug full of steaming spiked hot chocolate and a marathon of old black and white movies to keep her company. Resigned to her fate, she heads out in the wintry weather which has made the drive nearly impossible. Halfway there, Violet’s car spins out on a lonely stretch of road and she slams into a tree, hitting her head on the dashboard. Passing out in the cold with a head injury was not on Violet’s Christmas list, but good thing there’s a Tiger king who just happens to be out for a run nearby. When Dean gets a whiff of Violet’s sugar cookie scent all bets are off. This Neta wants her for his own, but will the dark-haired beauty accept him and agree to be his bride this Christmas?

—Donde hay lobos, hay guerra. Dejando que una sonrisa de satisfacción se dibujara en la comisura de mis labios, miré a la única persona que lentamente había capturado mi corazón: —Puede que sea así... pero va a ocurrir bajo mis condiciones. Corría el año 1952 y a Ashford Wells, de dieciocho años, sólo le quedaba un tortuoso año más en el instituto del Sagrado Corazón. Sólo un año más hasta que pueda abandonar la ciudad de Lonton, y el imposible legado de su padre de ser un Alfa de la manada. Intentando mantener la calma y agachar la cabeza, Ash también tendrá que ignorar las burlas de deportistas como David Hunt, que le dicen que es un bicho raro sin casta.El único problema con las ideas de Ash de abandonar Lonton es que el hombre del saco y rebelde en general, Kenny O'Rourke, tiene una idea diferente de cómo será el futuro de Ash. Una idea que va a sacudir los cimientos de Dustland. "Los lobos de Dustland" es una obra de Claire Wilkins, autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

I've planned seven wedding ceremonies in total, and not once has my fiance, Zachary Gardner, ever shown up for it. The first time, his adopted younger sister, Louise Foster, bursts into tears because she lost her passport at the airport. It was the dead of winter, but he dumped me by the side of the road and left me. The second time, Louise's dog sprained its ankle. Zachary stuffed the ring back into its box and rushed to the animal hospital to accompany her. Every time I argue with him about it, he declares nonchalantly, "We can get married anytime, but I can't let Louise be upset." Everyone around us agrees with him, saying that we're all family anyway, so I shouldn't be so petty. None of them has seen Zachary and Louise kissing fiercely on the dance floor. Today is the seventh wedding ceremony. Once again, he turns to leave after getting a call. I grab the corner of his shirt and say in a choked voice, "If you leave this time, Zachary, I won't marry you anymore." He stops in his tracks and peels off my fingers. "Wait for me," he says before rushing off. What he doesn't know is that this time, I won't be waiting for him any longer.

It was just around that time when the world was screaming "Happy new year!" In the year 2000, Aurora felt the world crumble. The person she cherished the most, the one she loved and supported cheated on her, and finding out, her happiness was taken from her, her soul turned blue, and sadness crept into her eyes. Darkness fell around her like a curtain and death filled her innocent mind. Aurora walked the streets, blank and hoping for things to end. On the other side, Liam Dagon, King of Nuland arrived home from a secret war, heading to his hideout, he bumps into a drained young lady, her dark eyes met his and continued without hesitation, he pulls her away from the road, where their fate begins.

Just because his first love's younger brother accidentally fell into Shadow River, my Alpha mate, Ethan Horn, forced me, the only Spirit Soother of our pack, to go and rescue him. When I sank to the bottom of the river, I chose not to save him. When the man was pulled out of the river, the healer lamented, "If it were a few minutes earlier, Leo might have been saved. What a pity." Ethan's first love, Serafina Pike, had her wolf soul shut off and soon passed away because she missed her younger brother, Leo Pike. From that moment on, Ethan, who had once loved me, hated me to the core. Without giving me a chance to explain, he slit my throat with a silver blade and ruthlessly sealed my wolf soul. Later, he believed the heresy of the witch about soul sacrifice and nailed me and our young daughter in coffins before burying us alive by Shadow River as sacrifices to resurrect his beloved Serafina. In the end, the woman he deeply loved did not come back to life, and my daughter and I died with endless resentment. When I reopened my eyes, I had returned to the night when Ethan forced me to jump into the river to save Leo. I tied up the specially made rope and asked him for the last time, "Are you really sure that you can bear the consequences after I rescue him?"
