Introduction
Ia datang dalam pelbagai bentuk dan saiz. Ia boleh jadi indah atau menyakitkan dan segala-galanya di antaranya.
Sawyer dan aku pernah menjadi kawan baik suatu ketika dahulu, sehingga dia mengejar impiannya dan meninggalkan kehidupan lamanya. Termasuk aku. Aku berpegang pada harapan bahawa hidup tidak akan memisahkan kami, tetapi seperti kebanyakan cinta pertama, ia berlaku dan tidak lama kemudian dia menjadi orang asing bagi aku. Apabila akhirnya aku mengumpul keberanian untuk melepaskannya dan memulakan hidup baru, dia muncul semula.
Hidupnya tergantung pada seutas benang dan ini adalah peluang terakhirnya untuk mendapatkan apa yang dia telah berusaha keras untuk. Sekarang dia fikir itu termasuk aku. Dia bersedia untuk memperbaiki apa yang telah hilang, tetapi aku tidak berminat untuk memberi peluang kedua. Malangnya, aku tidak pernah pandai menolaknya, dan walaupun selepas masa kami berpisah, keadaan nampaknya tidak berubah.
Sebenarnya, banyak yang akan berubah. Lebih banyak daripada yang kami boleh bayangkan, tetapi semuanya bermula kali pertama aku menemui cinta.
Sekarang, tiba masanya untuk menemui segala-galanya yang datang selepas itu.

Chapter 1
Mengemas untuk pergi ke kolej ternyata lebih emosional daripada yang saya jangkakan. Tiga bulan lalu, saya pulang dari Ecuador, dan saya tidak merasa sebegini emosional ketika tinggal di sana selama setahun seperti yang saya rasakan sekarang. Bagaimana itu boleh berlaku?
“Bryn!” Saya mendengar suara yang biasa dari bawah diikuti dengan bunyi bayi yang merengek. “Aduh! Tak apa Milly, mak cik B ada di sini.”
Saya keluar dari bilik dan berhenti di atas tangga tepat ketika kakak saya mula naik. “Syukur! Boleh tak awak cakap dengan anak saudara awak? Dia dah buat hal sepanjang pagi.”
Dia menghulurkan bayi yang meragam itu kepada saya, dan saya menerima bungkusan comel itu. “Hai comel! Awak dah susahkan mama ke?”
Anak saudara saya memberi senyuman manis dan menarik rambut kerinting saya. Saya sudah biasa dengan itu sehingga hampir tidak perasan tetapi apabila dia cuba memasukkan rambut saya ke dalam mulutnya, saya terpaksa bertindak. Saya berpusing semula dan membawa Milly kecil ke dalam bilik saya yang kini penuh dengan kotak. Ibu bapa saya berkeras agar saya meninggalkan bilik saya seperti sedia kala, tetapi saya mahu memberi mereka pilihan untuk menggunakannya sebagai bilik tetamu semasa saya di kolej untuk beberapa tahun akan datang. Saya akan pulang pada musim cuti tetapi akan tinggal di sebelah dengan Poppy dan Zac pada masa itu. Saya masih tak percaya mereka membeli rumah itu kerana di situlah Zac membesar tetapi mereka tidak sanggup menjualnya apabila ibunya berpindah bersama suami barunya. Jadi, Zac membeli rumah itu dan melamar Poppy di pintu yang mereka biasa duduk bersama semasa kecil setahun kemudian.
Banyak sejarah di tempat itu, jadi saya senyap-senyap gembira ia tidak jatuh ke tangan keluarga lain.
Poppy masuk ke bilik saya dan terbaring di atas katil saya tanpa peduli ada timbunan baju di bawahnya. “Anak aku benci aku.” Dia mengeluh sebelum mengeluarkan rintihan yang menyedihkan.
“Itu tak betul Poppy! Dia mungkin sedang tumbuh gigi atau sesuatu macam tu.” Saya bercakap manja dengan anak saudara saya membuatkan dia ketawa kecil.
“Ya, mungkin itu sebabnya tetapi dia berhenti menangis sebaik sahaja awak pegang dia. Bagaimana dia boleh lebih sayang awak sedangkan awak berada di luar negara untuk tiga bulan pertama hidupnya? Saya benci awak. Kenapa awak tinggalkan saya pada masa yang penting ini?” Kakak saya...selalu begitu dramatik.
“Awak akan okay, lagipun saya boleh balik kalau keadaan jadi teruk. Awak tahu saya tak akan biarkan awak hadapi semua ini sendirian.”
Dia mengeluh dan duduk. “Tak. Awak berhak ada kehidupan. Cuma...saya akan rindukan awak.”
“Saya juga akan rindukan awak kak.” Saya memeluknya dan dia cepat-cepat memeluk saya kembali.
Kami selalu rapat, dan setiap kali saya perlu pergi, ia membunuh saya, tetapi saya sudah menangguhkan kolej supaya saya boleh buat kerja amal sebagai pembantu jururawat di Ecuador. Saya perlukan pengalaman untuk kredit kajian lapangan saya dan saya mahu menyelesaikannya awal. Lagipun, saya tak bersedia untuk berada di sini ketika semuanya berlaku. Polly mesti nampak ekspresi di wajah saya kerana dia memegang tangan saya dan menggenggamnya dengan lembut.
“Awak tak dengar apa-apa dari dia?” Dia bertanya kepada saya.
Saya tak dapat menahan ketawa dengan idea itu. “Tak. Kenapa saya patut? Dia dah move on, jadi saya pun perlu buat perkara yang sama. Kami akan sentiasa menjadi sebahagian daripada hidup masing-masing kerana awak dan Zac tetapi tidak seperti dulu.”
“Dia dah lalui banyak B, mungkin dia perlukan lebih masa.” Dia memberi alasan untuknya.
“Dia dah ada banyak masa. Lima tahun tepatnya dan masih dia tak hubungi saya. Saya fikir selepas kecederaannya dia akan hubungi dan minta saya datang jaga dia seperti yang kami selalu rancang tetapi tiada apa-apa. Saya tak boleh tinggal.”
“Saya tahu. Zac kata keadaan tak berjalan lancar. Dia tak pasti Sawyer akan dapat tandatangan dengan cara dia sekarang.” Dia menggelengkan kepala dan mengeluh kecewa. “Saya tak percaya dia akan menyerah selepas semua yang dia lakukan untuk sampai sejauh ini.”
Abang Zac, Sawyer, dulu adalah kawan baik saya. Ketika keluarga mereka berpindah ke sini selepas ayah mereka pergi, saya nampak Sawyer sekali dan tahu kami akan jadi kawan. Dia adalah budak kecil yang selalu merungut dan saya adalah sinar matahari yang akan menembusi segala kegelapannya. Bukan dia tak ada hak untuk benci dunia selepas ayahnya pergi, dia baru berusia tujuh tahun ketika itu. Setahun lebih tua daripada saya.
Pada hari mereka berpindah masuk, saya berjalan ke rumah mereka dengan sepinggan kek cawan vegan dan beritahu dia yang saya sekarang kawan dia. Si kurang ajar tu tutup pintu di muka saya. Jadi, Poppy datang bersama saya untuk marah dia, tapi Zac yang buka pintu. Cinta monyet pada pandangan pertama untuk mereka, dan sejak itu mereka tidak dapat dipisahkan. Semua orang tahu Poppy adalah gadis Zac walaupun mereka baru berusia sembilan tahun. Sawyer pula tak nak bercakap dengan sesiapa.
Apa yang saya buat? Saya tak putus asa. Setiap hari waktu makan tengah hari saya bungkuskan dia sedikit makanan dan duduk di mejanya sambil bercakap tanpa henti. Dia akan pandang saya dengan muka menyampah tapi tak pernah bangun dan pergi. Perlahan-lahan dia lembut dengan saya, dan dari situ semuanya jadi lebih baik. Kami jadi kawan baik dan satu-satunya kawan untuk bertahun-tahun. Sehinggalah dia masuk tahun pertama sekolah menengah dan saya tinggal untuk habiskan sekolah rendah seorang diri.
Dia selalu pandai meluncur dan sebab cuaca di sini selalu sejuk, kami akan bina gelanggang peribadi di belakang rumah supaya kami semua boleh meluncur bersama. Sawyer sangat hebat dan cepat-cepat masuk sukan hoki, jadi bila ada ujian pemilihan semasa tahun pertamanya, dia masuk dan keluar sebagai pemain.
Pada mulanya, tiada apa yang berubah kecuali saya tak dapat duduk dengan dia waktu makan tengah hari lagi. Dia akan balik rumah dengan lebam dan kecewa sebab dia seorang yang perfeksionis dan tak pernah puas hati dengan cara dia bermain atau berlatih. Saya akan duduk sebelah dia di atas katil dan balutkan luka dia sambil dia luahkan perasaan. Membalut luka dia selalu jadi tugas saya dan itu buat saya nak belajar perubatan sukan dan terapi fizikal. Rancangan kami adalah untuk Sawyer dipilih oleh pasukan profesional dan saya akan memohon kerja di pasukan yang sama.
Rancangan itu perlahan-lahan mula pudar bila dia semakin sibuk. Tak lama kemudian dia mula bawa rakan sepasukan ke rumahnya untuk berseronok dan berpesta bila ibunya tiada di rumah. Kawan-kawan dia tak suka saya ada di situ jadi saya akan tunggu sampai mereka pergi untuk lepak dengan Sawyer. Kemudian dia mula bagi alasan untuk tak lepak dengan saya, dan akhirnya tutup saya sepenuhnya. Di sekolah dia abaikan saya dan hanya datang ke rumah saya untuk balutkan luka dia sebab saya yang terbaik menurut dia.
Dalam keadaan naif saya, saya terima sisa-sisa yang dia bagi, tapi saya sangat sedih. Jadi, bila Sawyer dipilih oleh kolej yang hebat, saya tak kisah untuk ucap selamat tinggal. Saya pandang dia dari tingkap semasa dia naik ke dalam kereta dan harap dia akan toleh balik cari saya, tapi dia tak buat. Saya tahu masa itu yang saya telah hilang kawan saya untuk selamanya. Jadi, saya putuskan untuk teruskan hidup dan mula perjalanan saya untuk capai impian saya sendiri. Saya masih nak belajar perubatan sukan, tapi saya putuskan untuk buat sebab saya suka, bukan sebab saya nak berada dengan Sawyer selama-lamanya.
Bila saya ditawarkan peluang untuk menjalani latihan praktikal, saya ambil dan tak pandang belakang. Enam bulan kemudian, semasa saya sedang menjalani latihan di Ecuador, saya dapat panggilan dari Poppy yang menangis. Dia kata Sawyer cedera, dan keadaannya tak baik. Dia sepatutnya dipilih awal oleh pasukan profesional tapi tiba-tiba dia cedera dan tak boleh main. Semua impiannya musnah dan saya beribu batu jauhnya.
Saya tak pasti apa yang perlu dibuat tapi saya tak boleh biarkan dia hadapi ini seorang diri, jadi saya hubungi dia. Dia tak pernah jawab atau hubungi saya balik. Akhirnya saya terpaksa berhenti risau tentang seseorang yang tak nak saya dalam hidup dia. Sekarang saya sedang teruskan ke fasa seterusnya dalam perjalanan hidup saya dan cuba yang terbaik untuk tidak fikirkan tentang si kurang ajar pemain hoki yang dulu saya panggil kawan.

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

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.

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—

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…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.

Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.
