Chapter 1
"Rumah Tangga Tang, menipu Raja, seluruh keluarga ditahan." Suara nyaring dari seorang kasim bergema, dengan kepala terangkat tinggi, memandang rendah kepada seorang remaja yang berlutut di atas batu sejuk itu.
Itulah bekas panglima yang dahulu begitu dihormati, kini setelah kehilangan kepercayaan Maharaja, dia menjadi serendah debu.
Kuasa, betapa rapuhnya ia.
Dalam kesunyian yang sepi di Rumah Tangga Changning, samar-samar terdengar kekecohan dari Rumah Tangga Xiang dan Rumah Tangga Wuwei. Itu adalah suara jeritan, tangisan, dan makian dari keluarga dan hamba yang ditahan oleh Pengawal Diraja. Walaupun terpisah oleh dinding tinggi, kekacauan itu masih kedengaran jelas.
Pada awal petang, Pengawal Diraja baru sahaja membuka makam puteri sulung keluarga Tang atas perintah Maharaja. Pada waktu senja, Maharaja menghukum seluruh keluarga Tang. Bukan sahaja Rumah Tangga Xiang, bahkan Rumah Tangga Wuwei turut terlibat.
Kemarahan Maharaja begitu nyata, tidak memberi sedikitpun ruang untuk keluarga Tang bernafas atau berunding.
Kasim itu meletakkan sebuah kotak sutera di hadapan Tang Qian, suaranya tetap angkuh, "Marquis Changning, ini adalah hadiah ulang tahun dari Maharaja untukmu. Selepas melihatnya, ikutlah hamba ke istana untuk menghadap Maharaja. Maharaja sedang menunggu di Istana Fengqi."
Tang Qian membungkuk, mengangkat kotak panjang itu, ragu-ragu sejenak, lalu membukanya.
Tidak langsung dihantar ke penjara, kasim yang menyampaikan perintah juga agak sopan, ketenangan Rumah Tangga Changning berbanding kekacauan di rumah-rumah keluarga Tang yang lain sangat kontras.
Di dalam kotak kayu yang diukir indah, terhampar sutera lembut. Kilauan lembut itu tidak dapat menandingi kecantikan sebatang pin rambut magnolia putih yang terletak di dalamnya.
Itu bukanlah gaya yang kini popular di Kota Wutong, kelopak bunga itu jelas telah disentuh beratus kali, setiap lengkungan yang menyedihkan begitu halus, seolah-olah hendak jatuh.
Tang Qian tersenyum pahit, Mo Wuhen akhirnya menemui kebenaran.
Maka terjadilah hari ini, Maharaja begitu marah kerana ditipu.
"Pak Kasim, berikan saya sedikit masa, saya ingin menukar pakaian."
Kasim itu tidak menghalang, "Marquis Changning, silakan."
Setelah sekian lama, Tang Qian akhirnya kembali mengenakan gaun panjang wanita, sehelai gaun merah menyala, begitu cantik sehingga menarik perhatian mana-mana lelaki di Daizhou.
Rambut panjangnya disanggul tinggi hanya dengan sebatang pin magnolia, Tang Qian berlutut lurus, membungkuk memberi hormat kepada Maharaja.
"Hamba Tang Qian, menyembah Maharaja."
Mo Wuhen seolah-olah sedang meneliti dia, Tang Qian dapat merasakan pandangan Maharaja seperti pedang, seolah-olah mengoyakkan gaunnya satu per satu.
"Tang Qian, senyumanmu begitu manis..." Maharaja yang berada di atas takhta, tetapi berbisik menyebut namanya, "Nama 'Qianqian' ini, jauh lebih sesuai untukmu daripada 'Tang Qian' yang dingin dan menjauhkan."
"Hamba tahu telah menipu Maharaja, dosanya sangat besar. Namun, hanya ayah yang telah meninggal dan hamba yang tahu tentang perkara ini. Keluarga Tang yang lain tidak tahu, bukan sengaja menipu Maharaja." Tang Qian mendongak, memandang Maharaja, berkata dengan demikian, "Hamba memohon Maharaja, mengingat keluarga Tang yang setia kepada Maharaja, ayah yang telah mengorbankan diri untuk negara, hanya menghukum hamba seorang."
Mo Wuhen duduk malas di sana, satu tangan menahan kepala, wajahnya tidak berubah, "Rumah Tangga Wuwei, mungkin boleh menggunakan alasan ini untuk melepaskan diri. Tetapi Tang Qian, Perdana Menteri Lin Zhe, nama asalnya sepatutnya Tang Zhe, bukan? Bagaimana mungkin dia tidak tahu, kakak kembarnya menggantikan dirinya untuk mati?"
Mata Tang Qian mulai panik.
Adiknya, Tang Zhe, adalah satu-satunya darah yang dilindungi dengan nyawa oleh ayah dan seluruh Rumah Tangga Xiang.
Kini, dia berada dalam genggaman Maharaja, seperti pedang tajam tergantung di atas kepala, terancam untuk dipenggal kapan saja.
"Maharaja, Perdana Menteri Lin tidak tahu tentang perkara ini. Semua perancangan dan butiran, hanya hamba dan ayah yang tahu. Adik dihantar ke selatan sejak usia sepuluh tahun, tidak tahu apa-apa."
Mo Wuhen tetap dengan wajah yang sama, seolah-olah menikmati setiap perubahan ekspresi Tang Qian, "Jika aku, tetap ingin menghukumnya?"
Tang Qian membungkuk dan berlutut, serendah debu, "Hamba rela menanggung apa saja hukuman, hanya memohon Maharaja, mengingat pengabdian hamba selama bertahun-tahun, melepaskan Perdana Menteri Lin, melepaskan keluarga Tang."
Tang Qian merasakan, Maharaja berdiri. Kemudian langkah demi langkah, perlahan dan dalam, menghampirinya.
Seperti binatang buas mendekati mangsanya, tanpa menunjukkan sikap menyerang.
Mo Wuhen berhenti di hadapannya, lalu berjongkok, menarik Tang Qian.
Jari Maharaja yang dingin dan panjang, menyentuh bibirnya, melukis bentuk bibirnya.
Jelas sekali gerakan yang mesra seperti antara kekasih.
"Melepaskan keluarga Tang? Maka hiburkan aku, Tang Qian." Tang Qian melihat Mo Wuhen yang tersenyum sinis, mata dalam, dengan perasaan yang dia tidak fahami, "Dengan cara seorang wanita."
Dia mulai memahami sedikit.
Bagi Mo Wuhen, dia akhirnya hanyalah alat untuk bersenang-senang.
Hanya itu saja.
Ketika Mo Wuhen tidak memerlukannya lagi, sebagai seorang panglima yang berjuang di medan perang, nilai dirinya kepada Mo Wuhen hanya tinggal sebegini?
Tang Qian kaku di situ, hatinya penuh kesedihan.
Dia tetap tersenyum, dengan sikap menggoda, tetapi matanya penuh dengan kesedihan.
"Terima kasih Maharaja atas belas kasihan."
Tang Qian bangkit, mendekati Mo Wuhen, dengan sikap rendah diri.
Dia berjinjit, hanya untuk menyentuh bibir Mo Wuhen, lalu, dengan canggung dan kekok, menciumnya.
Ciuman, sentuhan, yang seharusnya hanya ada antara kekasih yang paling intim, kini Tang Qian tidak merasakan sedikitpun kehangatan. Dahulu ketika dia masih dalam identiti lelaki, setiap kali menyentuh Maharaja, hatinya akan berdebar, kini tidak ada lagi kehangatan masa lalu.
Dia merasakan Mo Wuhen kaku sejenak, lalu, lima jari kuat mencengkam belakang lehernya.
Dengan begitu dikawal, Tang Qian berhenti, tidak memahami maksud Mo Wuhen, hanya mendongak, memandang Mo Wuhen dengan bingung, berharap dapat meneka sedikit niat dari wajah Maharaja.
"Marquis Changning, adakah kamu hanya berpura-pura?" Lelaki itu berkata demikian, dengan pandangan mendalam, Tang Qian tidak mengerti.
Saat berikutnya, Mo Wuhen membungkuk, merampas nafas Tang Qian.
Berbeza dengan ciuman canggung Tang Qian, ciuman Mo Wuhen membawa makna pencerobohan, seolah-olah ingin meninggalkan tanda pada Tang Qian.
Mo Wuhen memegang lehernya dengan satu tangan, dan memeluk pinggangnya dengan satu tangan. Tang Qian sangat tidak biasa dengan perasaan dikawal ketat seperti itu, tangannya tidak tahu harus diletakkan di mana. Mo Wuhen mencium dia, dalam kekurangan oksigen, dia hampir kehilangan kesedaran, tetapi dapat mendengar degupan jantungnya, seolah-olah akan meletup dalam dadanya.
Dia mengangkat tangan, dengan ragu-ragu menyentuh sisi wajah Mo Wuhen, lalu, merasakan Mo Wuhen berhenti sejenak.
Rasa hilang berat, Tang Qian mendapati dirinya diangkat oleh Mo Wuhen.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
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.

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.
