Chapter 1
Malam semakin larut, di kawasan pinggir utara luar enam lingkaran kota besar.
Pada waktu ini, musim panas sedang memuncak, walaupun sudah pukul dua belas malam, namun sisa panas dari siang hari masih belum hilang, angin yang bertiup masih terasa hangat.
Di jalan-jalan dan lorong-lorong, bunyi dengungan penghawa dingin kedengaran di mana-mana.
Di lorong yang gelap, kadang-kadang terlihat beberapa ekor tikus berlari keluar. Mungkin kerana cuaca panas, gerakan mereka juga menjadi sangat malas dan perlahan.
Sebagai kawasan dengan kepadatan penduduk luar yang tinggi, apartmen-apartmen di pinggir utara ini padat sekali, setiap bilik diisi oleh seseorang yang bermimpi untuk berjaya di kota besar ini.
Di hujung kawasan apartmen ini, terdapat sebuah bangunan apartmen usang yang hanya setinggi tiga tingkat. Bangunan ini sangat terpencil, dikelilingi oleh timbunan sampah, dan tiada bangunan lain di sekitarnya. Ia berdiri sendiri, kelihatan sangat aneh dari jauh.
Kekurangan kemudahan pengangkutan, keselamatan yang kurang baik, dan persekitaran yang buruk... semua faktor ini menyebabkan sewa di bangunan apartmen ini sangat rendah. Inilah sebabnya mengapa Jiang Xu memilih untuk tinggal di sini.
Sebagai seorang yang baru sahaja tamat pengajian dari universiti, bujang, dan sedang mencari pekerjaan, keadaan di sini sangat sesuai untuknya.
Pada saat ini, Jiang Xu sedang duduk di depan komputer, tangannya mengetik di papan kekunci dengan cepat, mencari pekerjaan yang sesuai di sekitar kawasan itu.
Katil bujang yang kotor, tong sampah yang penuh, tisu yang berkerut... Udara dipenuhi dengan bau khas seorang bujang.
Di atas meja, terdapat beberapa bekas mi segera yang sudah habis dimakan. Jiang Xu merasa lapar, dia dengan santai mengambil satu bekas, meneguk beberapa teguk sup, kemudian mengelap mulutnya dan meneruskan pencarian maklumat.
Bilik yang didiaminya kurang dari dua puluh meter persegi, satu-satunya kelebihannya ialah mempunyai bilik mandi sendiri, jadi dia tidak perlu keluar pada tengah malam untuk menyelesaikan masalah peribadi.
Tiba-tiba, Jiang Xu mendengar bunyi berdesis dari soket di bawah kakinya. Seketika kemudian, bau hangus tercium di udara.
“Bam!”
Skrin menjadi gelap, seluruh bilik tiba-tiba tenggelam dalam kegelapan, penghawa dingin di atas kepala juga berhenti berfungsi.
Jiang Xu meraba-raba mencari telefon bimbitnya, menyalakan lampu suluh, dan melihat asap keluar dari soket.
“Sialan! Lagi-lagi soket ini meletup! Rumah sial!” Jiang Xu mengumpat.
Disebabkan voltan elektrik yang tidak stabil di bangunan apartmen ini, sejak Jiang Xu pindah ke sini kurang dari sebulan, sudah empat soket yang rosak.
Masalahnya, kabel penghawa dingin terlalu pendek, tidak dapat mencapai satu-satunya soket di dalam bilik.
Musim panas di kota besar tanpa penghawa dingin adalah sesuatu yang sangat mengerikan.
Melihat jam di telefon bimbit, Jiang Xu merasa putus asa. Hampir pukul satu pagi, ke mana harus mencari soket sekarang?
Meminjam dari jiran? Mengetuk pintu orang lain pada tengah malam, tidak baik.
Keluar membeli? Pada waktu ini, tiada kedai yang masih buka.
Ketika Jiang Xu sedang bingung memikirkan apa yang harus dilakukan, bilik mulai menjadi panas dan pengap. Tidak lama kemudian, baju singletnya menjadi basah, peluh sebesar biji kacang mengalir turun dari wajahnya.
Bilik tanpa penghawa dingin, seperti bilik sauna.
Jiang Xu mengelap peluh, tidak tahan lagi, dia mengambil kunci dan dompet, membuka pintu dan turun ke bawah.
Di luar bangunan apartmen, suhu lebih panas daripada di dalam bilik. Jiang Xu menyeret selipar, mengelilingi beberapa timbunan sampah, menuju ke kawasan apartmen yang lebih padat di depan.
Walaupun sudah hampir pukul satu pagi, masih ada beberapa restoran kecil yang beroperasi. Banyak penjual makanan ringan dan mi bakar sedang menolak gerobak mereka, bersiap untuk pulang.
Jiang Xu berjalan di antara mereka, terus memerhati kedai-kedai di kiri dan kanan, berharap dengan nasib baik ada sebuah pasar raya yang masih buka.
Selepas sepuluh minit, Jiang Xu berpatah balik dengan kecewa. Kerana tidak dapat membeli soket, dia memutuskan untuk pergi ke kafe siber berdekatan, sekadar untuk menumpang penghawa dingin semalaman.
Namun, ketika Jiang Xu tiba di kafe siber, dia mendapati semua tempat duduk penuh. Dia pergi ke tiga kafe siber berturut-turut, semuanya sama, tiada tempat kosong, membuatkan Jiang Xu sangat kecewa.
Memang benar, bila nasib tidak baik, minum air sejuk pun boleh tersedak.
Jiang Xu berdiri di depan pintu kafe siber, mengelap peluh di wajahnya, dan terpaksa berjalan pulang.
“Resume tak ada balasan... nak guna penghawa dingin, soket meletup... nak guna internet, tiada tempat duduk, apa dosa aku dalam kehidupan sebelumnya!”
Mengingat nasib malangnya baru-baru ini, Jiang Xu merasa sangat tertekan, dia mengangkat kaki dan menendang sebotol air mineral kosong di depannya.
“Bam!”
Botol air terbang, melantun beberapa kali di atas tanah, dan perlahan-lahan bergolek ke depan sebuah kedai yang masih menyala lampunya.
Jiang Xu secara tidak sengaja melihat papan tanda kedai itu, dan tiba-tiba merasa hidup kembali.
Kedai peralatan rumah!
Ternyata ada sebuah kedai peralatan rumah di sebelah apartmen yang didiaminya. Tapi dia ingat tadi ketika dia lalu, dia tidak melihat ada kedai seperti itu.
Tak kisahlah, selagi kedai itu masih buka, masuk sahaja untuk membeli soket.
“Ding ding…”
Jiang Xu membuka pintu, loceng di atas kepala berbunyi, dia melihat seorang lelaki gemuk pertengahan umur yang memakai singlet putih sedang duduk di kaunter, bosan bermain telefon bimbit, tidak menyedari Jiang Xu masuk.
“Bos, ada jual soket tak?” Jiang Xu bertanya dengan tidak sabar.
Lelaki gemuk itu mengangkat tangan, menunjuk ke kanan tanpa mengangkat kepala.
Jiang Xu berjalan ke rak di sebelah kanan, dia segera melihat hanya ada satu soket yang tinggal di rak itu.
Nampaknya nasib masih memihak kepada aku!
Jiang Xu mengambil soket terakhir itu, dengan gembira menuju ke kaunter untuk membayar.
“Berapa harganya?”
Lelaki gemuk itu mengangkat kepala, melihat soket di tangan Jiang Xu, tersenyum dengan penuh minat, “Bro, ini soket dari syurga.”
Jiang Xu terkejut sejenak, dengan malu-malu bertanya, “Ah, kenapa?”
“Kamu fikir dulu sebelum beli, jangan salahkan saya tak beritahu awal-awal.” Lelaki gemuk itu berkata sambil menyipitkan mata.
Jiang Xu merasa lucu.
“Jangan risau, kalau rosak saya tak akan cari kamu, asalkan soket ini boleh bertahan malam ini sahaja sudah cukup.”
Lelaki gemuk itu mengangkat bahu dengan pasrah, lemak di perutnya bergetar, “Baiklah, 50 ringgit, nak bayar dengan WeChat atau tunai?”
“Tunai.”
Setelah membayar, Jiang Xu mengambil soket itu dan meninggalkan kedai peralatan rumah.
Dia tidak menyangka soket jenama biasa boleh dijual dengan harga yang mahal. Namun, beruntunglah dia kerana dapat membeli soket pada waktu tengah malam untuk menyelesaikan masalah penghawa dingin, Jiang Xu tidak mahu memikirkannya lagi.
……
Sampai di rumah, Jiang Xu menahan rasa panas yang menyengat, dengan cepat menyambungkan soket baru ke sumber elektrik, kemudian memasukkan palam penghawa dingin ke dalamnya.
“Beep…”
Udara sejuk mula mengalir keluar dari penghawa dingin, suhu di dalam bilik segera turun.
Jiang Xu menutup mata, menikmati udara sejuk itu, kegelisahan di hatinya hilang tanpa jejak.
Nyaman, sangat nyaman.
Setelah menikmati udara sejuk selama beberapa minit, Jiang Xu akhirnya merasa lega, dia bangun dan menyambungkan kabel komputer ke soket baru, bersiap untuk menghantar beberapa resume lagi.
Menekan butang kuasa, skrin komputer menyala.
“Bzz bzz…”
Ketika di universiti, Jiang Xu sengaja membeli komputer meja, untuk memudahkan bermain permainan dan melayari internet.
Membuka laman web pencarian kerja, log masuk ke akaun peribadi, mencari pekerjaan di sekitar kawasan…
Namun, ketika Jiang Xu melihat kandungan di skrin komputer, dahinya perlahan-lahan berkerut.

Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.

Or just be his.

I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.

Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"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."

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.
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.
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.
