Nox Shadow
Chapter 1
Hari yang panas terik membuat Regina Valrose merasakan seolah-olah dia mungkin menguap.
Sehelai reben merah menutup matanya, dan ketika dia cuba untuk menanggalkannya, satu tangan menghentikannya. Ketakutan dan ketegangan mencengkam dirinya ketika dia bertanya, "Siapa kamu?"
Orang yang berdiri di depannya tetap diam.
Tetapi genggamannya pada pergelangan tangan Regina semakin kuat, buku-buku jarinya menjadi putih, urat-urat di belakang tangannya menonjol, menunjukkan kemarahannya yang terpendam dan keinginan untuk memiliki.
Usaha Regina untuk menjerit hanya menjadi rintihan yang lemah.
Kedekatan itu membuatnya sangat menyedari panas yang membara dari tubuh lelaki itu.
"Philip?"
Suaranya yang ragu-ragu menyebabkan mata lelaki itu menjadi dalam dan gelap, ruangan dipenuhi dengan ketegangan yang berbahaya.
Tiba-tiba, dia mula mencium Regina. Ciuman-ciumannya semakin kuat, semakin terdesak.
Regina merasakan dirinya hanyut dalam gelombang keinginan yang seolah-olah tiada penghujungnya.
Musim sejuk di Oriant ditandai dengan hujan lebat yang tidak berhenti selama seminggu penuh.
Regina bergegas masuk ke Peace Club, mencari perlindungan dari hujan yang tidak henti-henti.
Sambutan hari jadi Philip Sterling sedang berlangsung dengan meriah, dan mungkin beberapa tetamu masih belum tiba, kerana pintu bilik peribadi itu sedikit terbuka, memperlihatkan sedikit suasana kegembiraan di dalamnya.
Ketika Regina mencapai pintu, dia melihat Philip bersantai di sofa, rokok di tangan, berbual santai dengan rakan-rakannya. Kebetulan, perbualan mereka beralih kepadanya.
"Tuan Sterling, apa yang terjadi dengan teman wanita kamu? Dia lewat pada hari yang penting begini."
Dalam kalangan mereka, istilah "teman wanita" jarang digunakan.
Wanita datang dan pergi dalam hidup mereka, dan tidak jarang mereka mempunyai beberapa teman pada masa yang sama.
Semua orang menyedari perkara ini, tetapi mereka seolah-olah menganggap Regina berbeza bagi Philip.
Lagipun, dia sangat mirip dengan Claudia Sharp dan telah berada di sisi Philip selama bertahun-tahun.
Didorong oleh khabar angin baru-baru ini, seseorang tidak dapat menahan diri daripada bertanya, "Tuan Sterling, adakah benar kamu akan berkahwin dengan Regina?"
Soalan itu menggerakkan sesuatu dalam hati Regina.
Dia telah bertemu Philip semasa tahun kedua di kolej, dan sudah enam tahun sejak itu.
Dia menunggu jawapannya dengan sedikit harapan.
Philip dengan santai menghembuskan asap rokok dan menyindir, "Saya sudah bosan dengannya. Saya tidak cukup gila untuk berkahwin dengan seseorang yang saya sudah jemu untuk seumur hidup.
"Saya tidak tahu apa yang keluarga saya rancang. Saya memang akan berkahwin, tetapi dia tidak boleh menjadi isteri saya."
Kebanyakan perkahwinan ini adalah persekutuan, dan wanita yang akan menjadi isteri Philip harus datang dari latar belakang yang sesuai dengan keluarganya.
Regina berdiri kaku di pintu, kata-katanya bergema seperti petir di telinganya.
Regina menutup matanya, menahan kesakitan, dan menolak pintu terbuka. Mengabaikan pelbagai pandangan, dia berjalan terus ke arah Philip.
Dalam saat pandangan mata itu bertemu.
Ekspresinya tetap acuh tak acuh dan sinis. Dia tidak peduli jika Regina mendengar kata-katanya.
Regina, sebaliknya, kelihatan tidak terkesan. Dia tidak lupa tujuannya berada di sini hari ini. Dia bahkan tidak sempat untuk marah; sebaliknya, dia dengan tidak sabar bertanya kepadanya, "Kamu berjanji kepada saya bahawa kamu akan melawat Tasha hari ini. Saya menunggu kamu di hospital sepanjang hari, tetapi kamu tidak muncul."
"Regina," mata Philip penuh dengan rasa benci. "Kau dah berada di sisiku bertahun-tahun, tapi kau tak pernah maju. Hari ini hari lahirku, dan kau nak aku jumpa orang yang sedang nazak pada masa yang sepatutnya gembira. Betapa kurang ajarnya kau."
Regina merasakan seluruh badannya menjadi sejuk, menatapnya tanpa bergerak.
Dia mendengar Philip mengatakan bahawa dia sudah bosan dengannya dan tidak pernah terfikir untuk menikahinya. Dia menghina neneknya, orang yang paling menyayanginya, dan merujuk kepada neneknya sebagai orang yang sedang nazak.
Regina tidak tahu bila lelaki yang pernah menyelamatkannya itu perlahan-lahan menjadi seorang yang asing baginya.
"Keadaan Tasha semakin teruk, dan dia sangat ingin jumpa kau."
Kata-kata Regina dipotong oleh rasa tidak sabar Philip.
"Regina, kau dah habis? Janganlah jadi penyebab rosak majlis."
Regina cuba membuat satu usaha terakhir. Dia mencapai gelas Philip. "Kau dah minum terlalu banyak; tak baik untuk kesihatan kau, kau..."
Philip tiba-tiba mengangkat tangannya, dan gelas itu pecah di lantai!
Bunyi yang kuat segera membungkamkan bilik peribadi itu. Philip sangat marah, dan semua orang menahan nafas, sangat takut.
Fikiran Regina kosong, tangannya yang tergantung di sisi mengepal menjadi tinju, tetapi ekspresinya tetap tenang.
"Ada salah faham antara kita akhir-akhir ini?"
Philip hanya merasakan bahawa dia sangat sukar untuk dihadapi malam ini, dan dia merasa sedikit terganggu. Kata-kata yang telah lama disimpan akhirnya terkeluar. "Kau nampak sepertinya, tapi kau bukan dia. Selepas bertahun-tahun, aku sedar yang aku masih tak cinta kau.
"Selama bertahun-tahun, kau mungkin tertanya-tanya mengapa aku tak pernah menyentuh kau. Bukan sebab aku tak sanggup, cuma sebab aku tak mahu."
Dengan air mata di matanya, Regina memandangnya dalam diam.
Hanya pada hari ini Regina mengetahui bahawa Philip mempunyai cinta pertama yang sangat dia cintai, dan dia hanya pengganti yang tidak masuk akal.
Yang lebih tidak masuk akal adalah semua orang sudah lama tahu, dan dia adalah yang terakhir mengetahui.
Tetapi kenapa dia mengatakan bahawa dia tak pernah mahu menyentuhnya?
Bukankah Philip yang berhubungan dengannya malam itu?
Dihina di hadapan orang ramai, Regina tidak mahu mengungkit peristiwa lalu di hadapan begitu ramai orang. Dia menahan kepahitan di hatinya dan hanya berpaling.
"Baiklah, aku takkan ganggu kau lagi, tidak pernah lagi."
Dia melihat Regina pergi. Terdengar bisikan dan gosip mengenainya.
"Tuan Sterling, bagaimana kau boleh begitu kejam? Dia kelihatan sangat sedih. Takkan kau tak nak pujuk dia?"
"Kenapa?" Philip benar-benar mabuk malam ini. Badannya sudah penat, dan emosinya sudah tidak terkawal lagi. Dia menggelengkan kepala dengan berat dan berkata dengan acuh tak acuh, "Dia akan kembali juga."
Philip memang hebat, dengan kuasa, dan tampan.
Selama bertahun-tahun, banyak wanita telah terlibat dengannya, dan Regina hanyalah salah seorang daripada mereka.
'Dia akan kembali.' Philip menutup matanya, merasa terganggu dan gelisah dalam fikirannya.

Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
"So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers.
