Introduction
Albert selalu menganggap bahawa Yvette, yang patuh dan memahami, tidak akan meninggalkannya seumur hidup. Tidak sampai Yvette benar-benar pergi, menghilang begitu menyeluruh sehingga Albert tidak dapat menemuinya walaupun dengan segala usahanya, barulah dia benar-benar merasakan penyesalan.
Bertahun-tahun kemudian, mereka bertemu semula. Yvette sedang bergurau senda dan menggoda dengan orang lain.
Seseorang bertanya kepada Yvette, "Kenapa perkahwinan pertama kamu berakhir?"
Yvette menjawab, "Kerana menjadi balu."
Tidak dapat menahan dirinya lagi, Albert melangkah ke hadapan, menyudutkan Yvette ke dinding: "Yvette, adakah kamu benar-benar fikir saya sudah mati?"

Chapter 1
[Yvette, berita besar! Violet dah balik!]
Mesej daripada kawan rapatnya, Sylvia Evans, membuatkan Yvette Orlando terpana.
Violet Swift adalah cinta pertama Albert Valdemar.
Albert bersama Yvette pada masa itu. Dia baru sahaja selesai mandi dan keluar dari bilik mandi dengan tuala melilit pinggangnya. Yvette cepat-cepat menyimpan telefonnya, takut dia nampak apa yang dia sedang lihat.
Badan Albert membawa bau gel mandian yang sama seperti Yvette. Dia berkulit sawo matang dan berotot. Sebaik sahaja di atas katil, dia tidak membuang masa, tidak memerlukan banyak usaha untuk memikat Yvette. Tubuh mereka bersatu dengan sempurna.
Pada waktu pagi, Yvette bangun dengan rasa dahaga, badannya sakit seolah-olah telah dihancurkan. Merasakan kekosongan di sebelah katil, dia berpaling melihat Albert sedang berpakaian.
"Awak nak pergi?" dia bertanya.
"Ya," jawab Albert.
Cahaya hangat di bilik hotel itu menggariskan figura jauhnya. Yvette diam-diam memerhatikan dia berpakaian, tidak berkata apa-apa untuk menahannya. Dia tahu sangat bahawa dia hanya teman tidur Albert.
Sudah dua tahun sejak Albert mula kembali ke Luken, selalu mencari Yvette untuk rutin mereka: makan malam, menonton wayang, dan kemudian tidur. Kadang-kadang, mereka terus ke langkah terakhir tanpa melalui dua langkah pertama.
Dia hanya melihat sisi ghairah Albert di atas katil.
"Hadiah ada di atas meja," kata Albert, kata-kata terakhirnya kepada Yvette.
Dia berpaling dan pergi, pintu tertutup lembut dengan bunyi klik.
Yvette membuka hadiah dari Albert, sebotol minyak wangi yang dibungkus rapi, tetapi ia membuatkan dia berkerut dahi. Albert telah memberinya minyak wangi yang sama tiga kali, tanda jelas ketidakpeduliannya terhadap Yvette.
Pada saat itu, Yvette membuat keputusan. Dia mengeluarkan telefonnya dan mencari profil Albert di Instagram, kontak yang dia labelkan dengan titik. Setelah berfikir panjang, dia menaip beberapa perkataan: [Jangan jumpa lagi.]
Sambil melihat mesej yang telah dihantar, genggaman Yvette pada telefon mengeras. Selepas beberapa ketika, Albert membalas dengan satu perkataan sahaja: [Okay.]
Balasan Albert itu seperti bunyi loceng tengah malam dalam kisah dongeng, menyedarkan puteri palsu dalam kasut kristal palsunya. Yvette tidak dapat menahan diri daripada mengejek dirinya sendiri, 'Apa yang aku harapkan?'
Albert adalah kapten termuda di cawangan North Airlines di Luken, tampan dan berada, putera impian kepada semua wanita muda di syarikat itu. Yvette hanyalah salah seorang daripada banyak "wanita muda" di pusat perubatan cawangan Luken.
Bahkan Sylvia tidak tahu tentang hubungan Yvette dan Albert. Yvette tidak tahu bagaimana untuk memberitahu Sylvia, tetapi sekarang tidak penting lagi. Dia tidak perlu berkata apa-apa pun.
Seminggu kemudian, ketika hampir waktu untuk habis kerja, tiada pesakit di pejabat Yvette. Dia duduk di hadapan komputer, menulis rekod perubatan, apabila Sylvia tiba-tiba meluru masuk.
"Yvette! Albert ada di sini!"
Sambil Sylvia mengelip mata dan memberi isyarat, seorang figura tinggi membuka pintu. Dia memakai uniform yang kemas dan kelihatan sangat menonjol.
Yvette secara naluri melihat ke atas dan bertemu dengan mata biru dalam Albert. Dia tetap tanpa ekspresi, tetapi dalam sekelip mata, sedikit kejutan terlintas di matanya. Selepas satu atau dua saat, pandangan mereka yang terkawal dengan tenang berpindah dari wajah masing-masing.
Wajah Albert membawa rasa detasmen dan dingin yang tidak kelihatan, seolah-olah kabus tebal memisahkannya dari dunia luar.
Pada saat itu, Violet muncul dari belakangnya dan duduk terus di hadapan Yvette.
"Saya cuma cedera ringan, tapi awak berkeras nak bawa saya jumpa doktor. Saya pernah cedera lebih teruk di sekolah penerbangan; saya boleh rawat sendiri."
Violet mempunyai nama yang lembut, tetapi dia seorang wanita yang tegas. Dia memakai uniform juruterbang, kelihatan ceria dan berani. Baru-baru ini, dia menjadi agak terkenal dalam syarikat sebagai juruterbang wanita pertama dalam sejarah cawangan Luken.
"Hai, Dr. Orlando," kata Violet sambil menghulurkan tangannya yang cedera.
Albert terdiam seketika dan berkata kepada Yvette, "Dia ada luka pada tangannya."
"Saya faham."
Yvette tidak lagi memandang Albert tetapi menumpukan perhatian pada merawat luka Violet. Juruterbang tidak dibenarkan mempunyai kecederaan yang serius, dan nasib baik, lukanya kecil sahaja.
Selepas Albert dan Violet pergi, pejabat kembali tenang, dan Sylvia akhirnya tidak dapat menahan diri untuk mula bergosip.
"Memang keterlaluan! Lukanya kecil sangat; kalau dia datang sedikit lewat, mungkin dah sembuh. Memang cinta pertama itu paling berharga. Mereka dah putus dua tahun lepas, tapi dia masih ambil berat. Albert biasanya dingin, tak sangka dia boleh begitu prihatin. Nampaknya semua bergantung pada orangnya," kata Sylvia, "Tapi saya dengar Albert ada wanita lain dalam dua tahun ini. Sekali, masa pemeriksaan kesihatan, jururawat-jururawat di jabatan kita kata dia ada tanda gigitan cinta di badannya. Dia ada hubungan tapi tak umumkan. Saya rasa teman wanitanya salah seorang perempuan murahan yang tak ikhlas."
Kata-kata Sylvia membuatkan Yvette berasa malu. Dia tidak mahu mengakuinya, tetapi dialah "perempuan murahan" yang dimaksudkan oleh Sylvia.
"Kau rasa Albert akan berbaik semula dengan Violet?"
Yvette mengemas mejanya. "Mungkin."
"Bosannya bergosip dengan kau. Aku nak pergi berbual dengan rakan sekerja lain."
Tidak lama selepas Sylvia pergi, pintu dibuka semula.
Yvette menyangka Sylvia kembali dan mengerutkan dahi. "Apa lagi sekarang?"
"Saya cuma nak pastikan berapa kerap ubat ini perlu ditukar."
Tubuh Yvette menegang.
Bukan Sylvia yang kembali; ia adalah Albert. Dia berasa sedikit canggung, tetapi cuba untuk kekal tenang dan menjelaskan secara profesional kepada Albert tentang penggunaan dan waktu penukaran ubat itu.
Keadaan menjadi sunyi seketika. Bilik klinik itu berbau kuat dengan pembasmi kuman, dan lampu terang memancarkan bayang-bayang pada mereka, sengaja mengekalkan jarak.
Albert memegang ubat itu tetapi tidak pergi, hanya merenung Yvette dengan penuh makna. Matanya seolah-olah menembusi fikiran Yvette, membuatkan dia berasa tidak selesa.
"Kau tak ingat? Perlu aku tuliskan?" katanya.
Albert menggerakkan bibirnya perlahan dan bertanya, "Kau sihat kebelakangan ini?"
Yvette tidak menyangka dia akan bertanya sesuatu yang berkaitan dengannya. Dia terkejut, dan selepas beberapa saat, dia menjawab dengan suara perlahan, "Saya sihat."
Albert mengangguk dan pergi.
Ketika Yvette melihat pintu tertutup semula, dia merasakan campuran emosi. Baru sahaja dia hendak duduk, dia perasan sehelai kertas di lantai. Yvette mengambilnya dan menyedari ia adalah resit yang Albert tercicir. Dia mengeluh perlahan dan mengejar Albert.
Albert tinggi dan menonjol dalam orang ramai. Yvette cepat menemukannya. Ketika itu, dia sedang bercakap dengan Violet di sudut koridor. Yvette menghampiri dan terdengar Violet sedang marah-marah padanya.
"Kau dulu tak pernah bercakap dengan perempuan secara sukarela. Kau banyak berubah sejak kita putus. Walaupun kau beritahu aku yang sebenarnya, aku takkan marah. Adakah Dr. Orlando teman wanita kau selama dua tahun ini?"
Langkah Yvette terhenti, dan jarinya yang memegang resit itu secara tidak sedar mengetat, meramas kertas nipis itu.
Saat berikutnya, dia mendengar suara dalam Albert yang familiar.
"Tidak."

I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.

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. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

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.
