Chapter 1
Sudut Pandang Elona
Sinar matahari sore yang keemasan menembus melalui pepohonan tinggi yang berjajar di sepanjang jalan saat aku berjalan menyusuri jalan yang sudah familiar menuju rumah Crislynn. Crislynn telah menjadi sahabatku sejak kami berusia enam tahun. Kami tinggal di jalan yang sama, dan mereka sangat ramah ketika aku dan ayahku pindah ke sini dulu. Ini adalah lingkungan yang mewah, tetapi fasad berkilauan dari rumah-rumah besar itu tidak sebanding dengan mimpi-mimpi yang tumbuh di dalam diri kami. Dengan jantung berdebar, aku mendekati rumah yang sudah akrab ini dengan arsitektur elegan dan taman yang terawat. Aku mengangkat tangan untuk mengetuk pintu, perutku bergejolak dengan kegugupan.
Pintu terbuka dan memperlihatkan Crislynn, rambut cokelat kemerahannya tergerai di bahunya. Mata hijau cerahnya menyiratkan sedikit kenakalan saat dia tersenyum padaku. "Elona, kamu tepat waktu. Ayo masuk!"
Kami duduk di dapur. Aku duduk di bangku bar di meja dapur sementara Crislynn menuangkan jus anggur untuk kami. Kami berada di tahun terakhir sekolah menengah. Tahun depan, kami akan memulai babak baru dalam hidup kami. "Ayahku pergi untuk menghadiri beberapa pertemuan, jadi aku bosan," kataku saat dia meletakkan jus anggur di depanku. Ayahku bekerja di bidang real estate, tapi aku selalu bersyukur untuk waktu yang dia luangkan bersamaku. Kami memiliki hubungan ayah-anak yang sangat baik yang tidak ingin aku rusak.
"Aku sedang mencari-cari informasi tentang perguruan tinggi yang akan kita tuju," katanya sambil meletakkan jus kembali ke dalam kulkas dan kemudian berbalik padaku. "Sangat sulit memilih perguruan tinggi mana yang harus aku lamar. Jurnalisme adalah impianku, dan aku tidak ingin meninggalkan ayahku di sini. Aku khawatir tentang dia," katanya dengan nada khawatir.
Aku merasa kasihan padanya, dia juga dekat dengan ayahnya. Ketika aku pindah ke sini, aku beruntung bisa bertemu ibunya, Estelle. Crislynn mirip dengan ibunya, tapi dia memiliki mata hijau hutan milik ayahnya. Ibunya meninggal tiga tahun lalu, dan itu sangat sulit bagi mereka berdua. Ibuku meninggal ketika aku berusia lima tahun dan pada titik ini, aku tidak ingin memikirkannya karena aku seharusnya menghibur sahabatku.
"Aku yakin dia ingin kamu menjalani hidupmu dan bersenang-senang." Aku tersenyum lemah padanya.
"Kamu tahu bagaimana dia menenggelamkan dirinya dalam pekerjaan dan aku akan menyarankan dia untuk mulai berkencan lagi, tapi aku sangat meragukannya," dia menghela napas berat.
"Itu adalah pilihannya setelah semua," aku menyesap jusku. Aku harus mengakui bahwa aku punya sedikit rasa pada Pak Crane, tapi tidak cukup untuk membuatku benar-benar mengejarnya.
"Aku rasa kamu benar," katanya.
"Aku memikirkan sesuatu yang mungkin akan aku kejar sebagai pilihan karier," kataku sambil meletakkan tanganku di gelas.
"Tolong, ceritakan!" dia selalu sangat ingin tahu.
Aku tersenyum gugup. "Yah, aku banyak memikirkan masa depanku belakangan ini. Aku ingin mengejar karier di bidang modeling."
Mata Crislynn membesar, campuran antara terkejut dan antusias. “Wah, Elona!” dia terperangah. “Kamu punya penampilan dan kepercayaan diri untuk itu, tidak diragukan lagi. Tapi kamu masih sedikit pemalu.”
Aku tidak bisa menahan diri untuk tidak merah padam mendengar kata-katanya. “Terima kasih, Crislynn. Aku hanya sedang meneliti agensi dan berbicara dengan orang-orang, dan aku benar-benar percaya aku bisa melakukannya. Aku tidak akan pernah tahu jika tidak mencoba, dan mungkin rasa malu itu bisa hilang. Aku masih memikirkannya, tapi untuk sekarang, tolong jangan beri tahu siapa pun sampai aku benar-benar memutuskan dan berbicara dengan ayahku tentang ini.”
Senyum Crislynn semakin lebar. “Aku janji, aku tidak akan memberi tahu siapa pun. Aku tidak ragu bahwa kamu akan hebat, Elona. Dan aku akan mendukungmu di setiap langkah.”
“Itu sangat berarti dan kamu tahu aku akan melakukan hal yang sama untukmu,” aku tersenyum.
“Tentu saja. Sekarang, tinggal membuat ayahku kembali ke dunia kencan,” katanya. Kami mendengar pintu depan terbuka dan tertutup, dan aku tahu siapa itu. Jantungku berdebar kencang di dadaku karena perasaan gugup dan antusias ini.
Tiba-tiba, aku tegang ketika mendengar suara Pak Crane di belakangku, “Selamat sore, anak-anak,” katanya, dan Crislynn tersenyum padanya dari balik bahuku.
“Hai, ayah. Kamu pulang cukup awal,” katanya. Pak Crane muncul di sampingku saat aku sekilas melihatnya. Pak Crane memang sangat menarik, dengan fitur tajam dan karisma yang sepertinya terpancar begitu saja. Seolah-olah dia terbiasa dengan sorotan, bahkan di dalam rumahnya sendiri.
“Bagaimana kabarmu, Elona?” Dia menatapku dengan mata hijau hutan yang kadang menghantuiku dalam mimpi. Aku berdehem.
“Aku baik-baik saja, Pak Crane.” Aku tersenyum dan menunduk pada jusku. Aku merasakan panas yang merayap ke pipiku. Aku belum pernah merasakan ini sebelumnya.
“Itu bagus untuk didengar,” jawabnya, dan suaranya sangat lembut. “Apakah kamu sudah meneliti universitas mana yang ingin kamu daftarkan?” dia bertanya pada Crislynn sambil berjalan ke lemari, dan dia meraih ke atas untuk mengambil gelas. Aku memperhatikan otot-otot rampingnya melalui setelan Armani hitam tiga potongnya. Itu tidak membantu juga.
“Ya, aku sudah melihat-lihat, tapi kami juga punya PR. Kami harus menulis esai. Apakah Elona boleh menginap untuk makan malam? Ayahnya sedang menghadiri rapat dan ini malam Jumat. Aku bisa memesan pizza untuk kita,” katanya.
Ketika mataku menemukan Pak Crane lagi, dia sedang menyesap air dari gelasnya sambil menatapku dengan intens sampai dia berhenti menyesap. “Itu baik-baik saja dengan saya, sementara itu, saya punya beberapa pekerjaan yang harus diselesaikan di ruang kerja,” katanya sambil berbalik dan meletakkan gelas kosong di wastafel dan berjalan pergi.
Jantungku berdebar kencang, dan untuk pertama kalinya, aku benar-benar melihatnya, bukan hanya sebagai ayah Crislynn, tetapi sebagai seorang pria. Dan saat matanya bertemu dengan mataku sejenak, aku menyadari dengan terkejut bahwa rasa suka kecilku padanya ternyata jauh lebih dari sekadar itu.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
