Zombies 101 소설 & 이야기

Traci has spent years being treated like she's nothing. Beaten, overworked, despised by the very pack she calls home. Survival stopped being a goal a long time ago. It became the only thing. The annual warrior tournament is coming. Packs across the kingdom are sharpening blades and sharpening rivalries, all chasing power, status, a name worth something. Tensions are already running high. Zayden and Raiden took the throne at sixteen. Their parents died suddenly and the kingdom fell to two boys who had no business ruling yet. They figured it out. Now everyone fears them. But the elders and the kingdom alike keep pushing the same message: find your fated mate, produce an heir, do it before your enemies smell blood. The twin Alpha Kings are strong. That doesn't mean they're untouchable. When Traci finds out there's a plan in motion to have her killed, she doesn't get a choice about the tournament anymore. She's being pushed into an arena by people who expect her to die in it. What they don't know is who she actually is. Secrets have a way of coming out. Hidden enemies have a way of stepping into the light. The kingdom is about to find out the truth about a bloodline everyone assumed was gone. The last White Wolf doesn't stay hidden forever.

The night I died, my whole family was busy celebrating my twin sister Elena's eighteenth birthday. Everyone thought Elena was going to die the next day. We're elves. My father worked as a clan guardian, and after Mom gave birth to Elena and me as twins, she stopped working altogether. We should have been a happy family. But from the moment we were born, Elena and I were bound by a witch's curse. Because Elena came into the world one minute before me, she took the full weight of it onto herself. She was never supposed to live past eighteen. From the day we were born, Elena was the family's treasure. Mom and Dad treated me like I owed her something. New toys went to her first. New dresses were always her pick. Every night, Mom would sit in Elena's room for at least an hour before she'd turn off the light. I always fell asleep alone. One night I had a nightmare and ran barefoot to find Mom. She was holding Elena and didn't even look up. "Go back to bed. Stop making a fuss." I kept telling myself: she's dying, of course they're kind to her. But every time I let something go, that splinter in my chest pushed a little deeper. Then the day the curse was supposed to take effect finally came, and naturally, that was the day my stomach cramped so badly I could barely stand. Mom and Dad didn't hesitate. They shoved me into the cellar and locked it from outside. I crouched on the stone floor with the smell of mildew everywhere and knocked on the door over and over. "Mom... Dad... my stomach really hurts, I can't even stand up... let me out, please..." One sentence came back through the door. "Your sister is dying tonight! Can you just give us one day? One day!" "But... Mom... I'm scared..." Nobody answered after that. The cellar went quiet. My eyelids grew heavy. My last thought was: if I were the one dying of a curse, would they come hold me too.

Ethan Chancer, a programmer, spent years working overtime and smoking through countless late nights. Then he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. He had only six months left. Not wanting to become a burden to anyone, Ethan chose to divorce his wife and quietly handle everything on his own. But he never expected one disaster after another to come crashing down on him. He was mistaken for a thief. His car was smashed while parked downstairs. His new boss misunderstood him. On the subway, he was accused of secretly filming someone. Even a simple trip to the public restroom at the park ended with an old woman trying to scam him. Ethan had always been timid and easy to push around. But in the final six months of his life, he finally found a courage he had never had before. Whoever crossed him, he fought back. No mercy. No backing down. No compromise. With newfound courage and a few clever tricks, he stood up to school bullies, put his boss in his place, exposed the people who framed him, won a 100-million lottery jackpot, and even caught the eye of a beautiful lawyer. And just then, his ex-wife received a hospital report. She was pregnant.

On the day Nerissa Reese regains her hearing, she also finds out that her boyfriend, Samuel Judd, hasn't exactly been completely loyal to her. After dumping him and slapping the other woman a couple of times, she agrees to replace her stepsister, Jennifer Reese, and marry Lincoln Hamilton, who is rumored to be ruthless and volatile. Everyone says he's severely ill. They claim he's a violent man and that once she marries him, she'll live like a widow. But on their wedding night, he grips her by the waist and presses her against the floor-to-ceiling window. "I heard you think I can't get it up." Over the next three days, Nerissa is taught a lesson that leaves her legs weak. She now knows that rumors can never be trusted. Later on, at an event, a red-eyed Samuel begs her to take him back. Lincoln slowly pops a few pills and munches on them, saying, "Fetch me a knife, Albert. I feel a breakdown coming on, which means I can plead insanity even if I rip his heart out." Everyone fears him for being an unpredictable demon. She's the only one who knows about the burning love for her that is hidden beneath his aggressive demeanor.

Eva was an orphan who was despised by the pack she lived in. Believed to be cursed, she was an unwanted member of her pack.

Unfortunately, her plan was discovered, and she was forced to watch as her friend and her friend's older brother were killed right in front of her.

She wanted to right the wrongs Eva had been put through and lead her back to her family, which she had been taken from long ago. Now that Eva has been brought back from the dead, she will learn who she is and how to use the power she holds. But what if wanting to right the wrongs that she's been put through keeps her from accepting her second-chance mate? Does she let go of the hate? Or will the desire to punish the ones responsible for her pain make her go too far?

In a deserted bathroom... Right as Adam is rushing into a full-blown rut, triggering his own latent heat... This chance encounter will blossom into a love story neither of them had dared to anticipate, driven by lust, and forbidden by family to the point of punishment. They think they will be able to keep their blossoming love a secret, but their school is smaller than they think, and the very girl who rejected Revon wants Adam to herself. And she will go to any length to make sure that no one stands in her way. Especially if that person is carrying Adam’s child.

Five years ago, I disappeared without a trace, leaving my mate Alpha Rene Beck to believe I was dead. Now I've been found. And Rene isn't the young man I left behind anymore. He's stronger. Colder. Crueler. More dangerous. The kind of Alpha who can command a room with a single look, and make my body remember exactly what it felt like to belong to him. But for him now, I am just his runaway mate who shattered him and vanished without explanation. And he is just the Alpha who calls my 4 years old boy a bastard, who has no idea he's looking at his own flesh and blood. He drags us back to his pack and informs me that in four months he's marrying my half-sister, the woman who helped ruin my life. I should hate him. I should fight him. Instead, every accidental touch, every growled warning reminds me why walking away from him nearly destroyed me. Rene says he wants revenge. So he keeps me close. Too close. Close enough to feel the heat of his body. Close enough to hear the possessive growl in his throat whenever another male looks at me. Close enough to remind us both that the mate bond between us never truly died. No matter how much he wishes it had. The more he tries to make me suffer, the harder it becomes to ignore the hunger still burning between us.

“No! Cassian, wait…” Angela moans, panting hard after an earth-shattering org*sm. “This is... this is very wrong.” She lets out, battling her overwhelming desires, and rationality as her palm pushes against the taut chest of the man above her. "It's forbidden." she gasps. “Tell me you don't crave this as much as I do, and I promise I won't disturb you ever again,” Cassian mutters hoarsely, lust and desire burning in his eyes, as he looks down at Angela's flushed face, her eyes mirroring his, and her body quivering with need beneath him. “Take me,” she purrs, and he doesn't waste time claiming her… ~~~~▪•♤~~~•♧•~~~♤▪•~~~~ Angela thought she was crazy for having a crush on her brother.

The goddess must be crazy, she thought, for allowing such an abomination. She's force to reject her brother or be sent abroad, a decision her parents claims is the right one. However, it seems she wasn't the only crazy one; Cassian, her brother, wanted her for himself, and he was willing to go against everyone to keep her.
