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.

“Kenapa ini? Kenapa rasanya tidak nyaman begini?” gumam Bea dengan suara semakin serak dan lemah. Nigel berjongkok tepat di depan Bea yang bergerak tak tenang. Sebelah alis Nigel terangkat, ia memperhatikan wajah Bea yang semakin memerah. Melihat gelagat tak normal dari tubuh Bea, Nigel pun langsung paham apa yang terjadi kepada wanita cantik itu. “Ternyata kau pun menggunakan cara murahan ini untuk memikat saya,” decih Nigel sinis, “jika bukan untuk membuat wanita parasit itu marah dan kesal, kau tidak akan memiliki kesempatan masuk ke kamar ini. Jadi tidak usah bermain trik murahan ini dengan saya, atau saya lempar kau ke kandang singa saat ini juga. Berdiri dan jangan bertingkah!” desis Nigel memperingati Bea. “Aah!” Nigel terkejut ketika Bea tiba-tiba menarik dasinya. Pria itu sempat terhuyung, sehingga harus menopang tubuhnya dengan tangan di lantai. Dengan posisi itu mata coklat muda milik Nigel beradu tatap begitu dekat dengan sepasang mata hijau Bea. Beberapa detik Nigel diam, seakan terhanyut oleh sinar mata hijau bak danau milik model cantik itu. “T-tolong saya, Tuan. Jangan sakiti saya, tolong antarkan saya pulang. D-dia, pria itu brengsek.” Bea berceloteh tak jelas dengan suara parau menahan lenguhan. Tubuhnya semakin tidak nyaman, bahkan ia terus menarik-narik tali gaun seksinya. “Aah, saya tidak nyaman. Ini panas sekali, tidak nyaman.” Nigel menggeram. Ia mencengkram pipi Bea dengan tangannya. “Saya sudah peringatkan, jangan bermain trik dengan saya. Kau sangat berani sekali. Orang yang lancang sepertimu ini kemarin berakhir tanpa kepala, apa kau juga ingin menyusul?” desis Nigel.

"Can I taste you down there?" He said and I swallowed. "I want to claim you." His words disrupted my thoughts and I inhaled in a sharp breath. "When you fell on my hands before practically falling on the floor, I knew I just had to have you." His deep voice reverberated throughout the empty room. He was sounded confident—no he was confident. "Even if it's for a night." “I want to feel your skin on fire. I want to inhale the sharp of your breath as blood rushes through your body. Tell me bunny, are you wet right now?” He asked and I inhaled sharply. He growled. She was Fire, and he wanted to consume every bit of her. It was supposed to be a one night of fun, letting go and celebrating graduation from college. That was all Emma had bargained herself for. He was Gideon, the owner of the biggest club in New York and few other countries. A typical player? No that wasn't the type of man he was, but that didn't mean he didn't mind having some fun occasionally. Or maybe more than occasionally. What then happens when the one night of fun revolves into a forever when an unnerving situation binds both parties together? Would they be able to make the best out of the situation or would it turn out to be a disaster?

My fated mate, Alpha Kaelen, rejected me seven times. The first time we bonded, he whispered against my ear, his breath hot. “From now on, my soul sings only for you.” But then his first love, the Omega Seraphina, came back for him. And just like that, he rejected me. They shared a mate’s mark from their past. It left her hopelessly addicted to his scent. “I’m sorry,” he’d said. “I have to be with Seraphina. The scent addiction is destroying her. She can’t even shift. Her wolf is weakening.” The first time he rejected me, I slashed a silver dagger across my wrist. I let the blood flow, hoping the pain would make him look at me. It worked. Kaelen was horrified. He left Seraphina for a moment and rushed to my side, holding me, comforting me. The third time, I disguised myself as an ordinary pack wolf. I got an internship at his pack headquarters, just to breathe in the air he breathed. But this time, he looked right through me, as if we were strangers. By the sixth rejection, I had learned how to calmly erase my scent from his suite. I left without a sound. My screams. My surrender. My begging. And what I got in return? Every time he was with her, the full moon would rise, and he’d call me back. Just to play the same sick game all over again. Until now. I heard Seraphina was coming back again. So I handed him the ceremonial dagger myself. He set the date for my return, just like always. He had no idea. This time, I'm the one severing the bond for good. And I am never coming back.
