Chapter 1
“Kau JUAL aku?” Emma berkata, suaranya penuh dengan rasa jijik.
“Dia bayar $50,000 untuk kau. Apa yang aku boleh buat. Kau dah dibeli dan dibayar,” kata Jane, ibu tiri Emma.
“Aku tak nak kahwin,”
“Oh, ya kau akan kahwin! Dia dah bayar kami! Lepas kau habis belajar di kolej, kau akan kahwin. Aku akhirnya jumpa lelaki yang setuju.”
Jane mengangkat gambar seorang lelaki tua. Botak, gemuk, hodoh. Umurnya sekurang-kurangnya lebih 50 tahun. Emma baru berusia dua puluh satu tahun.
Kemarahan Emma membuak-buak. “Aku ada teman lelaki! Aku bukan milik kau untuk dijual! Kau tak boleh jual Anna kepada lelaki tua ni?”
Sebelum Emma sempat bernafas, Jane menampar mukanya dengan kuat.
“Kau bodoh! Dia dah bayar untuk kau! Dan duit tu dah habis! Kau akan kahwin dengan dia atau aku terpaksa jual rumah ni!”
“Kau patut rasa bertuah sebab ada orang yang fikir kau berbaloi,” Anna mengejek.
“Kau takkan jual rumah ni, dan aku takkan kahwin dengan lelaki tu! Aku akan bayar balik duit tu sendiri!” Tanpa membawa barang-barangnya, Emma melangkah keluar dari rumah dan ke dalam hujan.
Jane memang jahat, tapi ini adalah tahap paling rendah.
Emma telah dijual. Dia ingin menangis dan menjerit pada masa yang sama. Air matanya bercampur dengan hujan, dan selepas seketika dia tak dapat membezakan.
Matt, dia terfikir. Aku perlu jumpa dia.
Berada di sekelilingnya selalu membuatkan segalanya lebih baik. Matt ada cara untuk membuat perasaan buruk hilang. Dia adalah orang yang sepatutnya Emma kahwini selepas tamat belajar. Bukan lelaki tua yang gatal. Dia datang dari keluarga yang kaya. Mungkin mereka boleh bantu dia dengan masalah ini.
Dia melangkah keluar dan berjalan menuju ke asrama Matt. Hujan tiba-tiba berhenti. Sebenarnya, dia takkan balik rumah kalau bukan kerana hujan lebat petang ini.
Perkara terakhir yang Emma mahu buat adalah balik rumah. Itu bukan rumah. Sekurang-kurangnya bukan untuk dia. Dia kehilangan ibunya semasa kecil, dan bapanya sentiasa dalam keadaan mabuk. Dalam salah satu masa yang lebih sedar, bapanya berkahwin semula. Jane pada mulanya baik. Dia datang dengan anak perempuannya sendiri, Anna. Dan pembesaran keluarga nampaknya memberi kebaikan kepada bapanya. Untuk seketika. Tak lama selepas itu, dia kembali kepada cara lamanya. Dia akan mabuk dari pukul 9:00 pagi. Dia tak pernah menyakiti mereka atau apa-apa. Jane yang uruskan itu. Dia adalah kejahatan yang nyata.
Emma telah menjadi hamba di rumahnya. Bapanya hidup dalam keadaan mabuk yang berterusan. Emma tak pasti dia masih ada di situ. Jane mengambil kesempatan ini dan memaksa Emma melakukan segalanya. Jane dan Anna tak pernah mengangkat jari. Kecuali jika ia terhadap Emma.
Pemandangan rumahnya adalah pahit manis. Walaupun ia menyimpan kenangan berharga zaman kanak-kanaknya, ia juga menyimpan trauma mendalam dari penderaan Jane. Hujan sejuk meresap ke dalam jiwanya.
“Hanya masuk dan keluar cepat,” Emma meyakinkan dirinya petang ini sebelum masuk ke dalam rumah. Dia pergi ke pintu belakang, dan berdoa agar ia tak berkunci.
Semasa dia mendekati, bunyi yang biasa menyerangnya.
“Kau ni tak guna! Kenapa kau tak mati saja? Kau tak berharga langsung bagi aku hidup!” Jeritan beracun Jane menggoncang rumah.
Rumah ini dahulunya tempat yang penuh kegembiraan. Kini, kegembiraan itu hanya tinggal dalam ingatan Emma. Rumah itu gelap dan sunyi. Jeritan Jane dan bunyi TV yang berterusan menenggelamkan bunyi Emma yang berjalan dengan senyap. Atau itulah yang dia sangka.
Baru sahaja dia sampai ke biliknya, tangan melingkari pinggangnya.
“Emma! Berjalan dalam gelap! Apa yang kau buat ni?” Anna menjerit sambil tangannya mengeratkan pelukan pada tubuh Emma.
Tubuh Emma menjadi kaku. Ini yang paling dia tak mahu.
Jane jahat, tapi Anna pun tak kurang juga. Dia sering menumpang kekejaman Jane. Anna hidup dengan itu. “Mak! Tengok siapa yang cuba elak kita!”
Jane keluar dari ruang tamu, matanya mengecil memandang Emma.
“Apa yang kau nak?” dia menjerit. Anna melepaskan pelukannya dan ketawa dengan gembira yang jahat.
“Aku nak ambil barang-barang aku,” Emma mengeluh.
“Kau dan ayah kau yang tak guna tu asyik ambil, ambil, ambil! Tak ada seorang pun dari kamu menyumbang apa-apa pada keluarga ni! Aku yang jaga kita selama sepuluh tahun ni! Dan kau! Kau dah jadi beban yang menyusahkan!”
“Aku kerja tiga part time sambil belajar sepenuh masa! Aku bayar kau $500 sebulan! Aku bersihkan rumah ni setiap hujung minggu! Apa lagi yang kau nak dari aku?” Emma balas.
“Harga barang naik. Bukankah kau sepatutnya berpendidikan? Ayah kau letakkan kita dalam hutang yang banyak! Aku dah tak mampu apa-apa lagi!”
Emma sudah penat dengan hujah ini. Dia sejuk dan basah. Dia hanya mahu pergi.
“Aku tak ada tenaga nak buat ni dengan kau. Aku cuma nak ambil barang aku dan pergi —”
Fikirannya terganggu oleh hujan yang tiba-tiba lagi. Dia terpaksa berlari melalui ribut, dan dengan air yang mencurah-curah, dia akhirnya sampai ke asrama Matt. Emma mengetuk pintu, dan menunggu. Pintu dibuka dan dia berharap melihat penyelamatnya di sebelah sana.
“Matt! Aku—” dia terhenti apabila rakan sebilik Matt yang ada di situ. “Oh, maaf mengganggu.”
“Emma, kau basah kuyup. Kau okay ke?”
“Ya, maaf. Matt ada tak? Aku perlu jumpa dia.”
“Dia…” rakan sebiliknya berkata. Tangannya menggaru belakang kepala, dan dia menunduk. “Dia… dia tak ada di sini. Dia keluar sebentar tadi. Katanya dia sibuk dengan… sesuatu.”
Emma rasa bersalah. Matt berada di bawah banyak tekanan dari keluarganya, dan biasanya sibuk untuk memastikan dia memenuhi standard mereka. Dia sepatutnya tahu lebih baik daripada datang tanpa memberitahu terlebih dahulu.
“Oh. Tak apa. Aku faham. Terima kasih. Aku akan cuba hubungi dia nanti,” dia tersenyum dan berpaling untuk pergi.
“Emma?”
“Ya?” Emma berpaling kembali dan melihat rakan sebilik Matt menghulurkan tangan ke arahnya dengan wajah sedih. Dia kelihatan bergelut dengan sesuatu, tetapi menggelengkan kepala seolah-olah dia telah berubah fikiran.
“Tak ada apa-apa. Hati-hati di luar sana, ya?” Dia menawarkan senyuman dan kemudian menutup pintu.
Emma berjalan pulang ke asramanya, berat dengan air, kesedihan dan penyesalan. Basuh baju tanpa pakaian nampaknya, dia bergurau pada dirinya sendiri. Setelah hari yang kelihatan seperti paling panjang dalam hidupnya, dia akhirnya sampai ke asrama. Semakin dekat dia ke biliknya, dia rasa dia terdengar namanya.
“Apa lagi yang boleh jadi hari ni?” dia berbisik pada dirinya sendiri. Semakin dekat, suara-suara itu menjadi jelas.
“Come on, Matt,” suara yang manis dan menjengkelkan berkata. “Kau kena pilih antara kami akhirnya. Beritahu aku, sayang. Siapa di antara kami yang kau betul-betul cintai?”

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

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.
