My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles. Villagers are fearful of my grandfather. I am fearful of him too. Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me. Even grandfather is afraid of me. ... My name is Chen Shi. The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

That year, The first time Jiang Xu saw Zhou Qingyue, he instantly fell for this girl with twin ponytails who had the sweetest smile. For her sake, Jiang Xu did a lot. He knew she liked bubble tea, so he saved his breakfast money to buy it for her. She loved small trinkets, so he tricked his parents into giving him extra money under the pretext of buying textbooks. Alternatively, he used the money he saved up during New Year. Whenever Zhou Qingyue was on cleaning duty, he would help her clean up. If she struggled with homework, Jiang Xu would stay up late, devising the best study methods for her. She wanted the latest phone. So Jiang Xu would spend weekends playing online games at the internet cafe, leveraging his skills to farm gold. After a while, he had made more than two thousand yuan and bought her a new phone with it. All he got in return was a lukewarm thank you. Countless confessions were rejected with the excuse that she wanted to focus on her studies. He believed that if he showered her with enough sincerity, he would eventually touch her heart. After they graduated from university, she said she wanted to start a business. So Jiang Xu gave her the two million yuan his parents had given him for a house, in secret. She became successful, only for him to see her nestled in the arms of another man. Devastated, Jiang Xu experienced reincarnation. This time, he swore not to make the same mistakes. He only then discovered, there was a treasure girl in his class. Her father was destined to become the richest man in China. But currently, her family is quite poor. Jiang Xu to her father: "Father-in-law, as you know, I've been without a spouse since childhood."

She’s a brilliant venture capital executive, driven, intelligent, and fiercely committed to achieving financial freedom through her own efforts. He’s a handsome, highly educated, and capable man, but with one fatal flaw—he’s always looking for shortcuts, including marrying into wealth. When she finds out she’s become his "target," she feels powerless to resist, torn between her rational mind and her emotions. But one extravagant gala turns her world upside down. He appears as the heir to a prestigious family, exuding an aura of cold authority and unshakable composure that commands attention. Standing amidst the crowd, she’s frozen in shock, silently mocking herself for mistaking this man—so deeply rooted in privilege—for a pretty boy chasing her financial support. Overwhelmed with shame, she quickly makes her exit, only to find him leaning casually against a Lamborghini outside. A teasing smile plays on his lips as his eyes lock onto hers. “Running away already, darling?” he asks, his tone light but provocative. In this city where power and wealth intertwine, their story begins—a clash of pride and sincerity, and perhaps, a love reborn from misunderstanding.

"Yes," My voice came out as a whisper. He had the utmost determination and care in every movement. He's still staring into my eyes, and I can't look away from him either. "You're in heat, Phoenix. You're going to be okay. I'll never let you be in pain; that's my promise to you." His words are like a purr, vibrating through me. He curls his fingers up inside me, causing my breath to hitch and a moan to escape my quivering lips. I know this entire situation is wrong, but even the effort he is putting into pleasuring me is barely easing the pain I feel, and I'm terrified of him stopping.  "Thank you." I practically squeezed the words out of my throat. I was sincere with my words, but they definitely came out in a whimper. He nodded and increased his speed. I have no idea how the most intimate thing had somehow turned into a mission, one that he was clearly taking very seriously as his thumb brushed across my clit, causing me to moan louder. "That's it. You're okay, Phoe," he whispered, acting like he was just doing his job, but I could feel that this was more to him. --------------- Phoenix was adopted by humans as a baby.

Von der Flucht um deine Sicherheit und der Einschreibung in eine Schule voller Psychopathen ... bis zur Inanspruchnahme durch einen geistesgestörten Alpha-Prinz? Ja, du bist tot besser dran. - . - Jules' Leben war perfekt, bis seine gesamte Familie plötzlich ermordet wurde und er der einzige Überlebende war. Ein Retter sprang ein, weil er immer noch in großer Gefahr schwebte, und das führte dazu, dass Jules eine neue Identität annahm und über Nacht zu einem völlig anderen Menschen wurde - und sich bei Carnivals einschrieb, einer angesehenen Schule für übernatürliche Wesen, die nur aus Jungen besteht. Auf Carnivals lauern Monster in den dunklen Gängen, und die Starken machen Jagd auf die Schwachen. Entweder wird man zum Raubtier oder zur Beute... und ein Blick auf Jules - ein Junge, der zu hübsch ist, um gut zu sein, mit einem schlanken und zierlichen Körperbau - machte klar, dass er von den Raubtieren bei lebendigem Leib gefressen werden würde. Hier kommt Blaze, ein Wolf, der jedem Raubtier in der Schule einen Schauer über den Rücken jagt, ein wahnsinnig heißer Alpha, der genauso gefährlich und gestört ist, wie es die Gerüchte behaupten. Er warf einen Blick auf Jules und entschied auf der Stelle, dass Jules zu ihm gehörte. *** Ich wich einen Schritt zurück und meine Augen weiteten sich noch mehr, als mein Blick auf das Grinsen fiel, das seine Lippen umspielte. Blaze lächelte nie, und wenn er es tat, bedeutete es nie etwas Gutes. Mein Herzschlag beschleunigte sich, als ich noch mehr nach hinten kletterte und mein Atem stockte, als er begann, den Abstand zwischen uns zu verringern. Im Handumdrehen war ich mit dem Rücken an die kalte Wand gepresst, und da wurde mir klar, dass ich in die Enge getrieben und gefangen war, wie eine echte Beute... von keinem Geringeren als Blaze, als ich dachte, dass mein Leben nicht mehr schlimmer werden konnte. Er überragte mich mühelos und strahlte so viel Dominanz aus, dass ich meinen Kopf nach hinten neigen musste, um in seine dunklen Augen sehen zu können, und mein Atem stockte, als sich unsere Blicke trafen. Er beugte sich vor, und ich schloss sofort die Augen, während ich den Atem anhielt und darauf wartete, dass er zuschlug. Ich hatte all die schrecklichen, endlosen Gerüchte über ihn gehört. Er war ein Alpha-Prinz, in dessen Gegenwart sich jemand wie ich niemals aufhalten sollte. Als ich spürte, wie seine kalte Nasenspitze über meine Kehle glitt, öffnete sich mein Mund und ich stieß ein erschrockenes Keuchen aus. Er holte einen langen, hörbaren Atemzug, und ich spürte, wie mir ein Schauer über den Rücken lief, während ich noch steifer wurde und die Verwirrung meinen Verstand vernebelte. Was geschah hier? Warum tat er das aus heiterem Himmel? Oh mein Gott... er war wirklich ein gestörter Alpha, wie alle sagen! *** DIESES BUCH IST AB 18 JAHREN FREIGEGEBEN!

In a peaceful village, nestled in a valley surrounded by forests, lived a little girl named Claire. She had recently moved into an old house with her mother, after her parents had separated. The house, an ancient dwelling full of history, had a melancholic air, but Claire loved it for its tranquility. Deep down, she hoped that this new life would one day ease the pain of the separation. One winter evening, while playing alone in the living room, Claire noticed a pale, translucent figure standing near the window. It was a little boy, perhaps around her age, dressed in clothes from another era, gazing at her with sad eyes. He seemed lost and solemn. As Claire approached him, she felt an odd sense of calm. The figure slowly faded as she reached out to touch him. The next day, Claire searched for clues about this apparition. Through the old papers in the house, she discovered the story of a boy named Jules, who had lived there long before her. He had died in a tragic accident, taken too soon at the age of eight. His parents, overwhelmed by immense grief, had divorced after the loss of their child, unable to bear their shared sorrow. Jules's appearances became more frequent, and Claire began talking to him. She learned that, even in the afterlife, Jules could not find peace. He was troubled by the separation of his parents and could not bring himself to leave this world without trying to reconcile them. Claire understood that the little boy was seeking help, hoping that someone—an ordinary child like herself—could bring his parents back together and heal their broken hearts. Each night, Claire and Jules talked for long hours. She explained her own situation, the pain she felt from not seeing her father as often, the sadness of seeing her mother so lonely. Jules listened attentively while sharing his story and confiding his wish to reunite his parents. He told her, "If only they could love each other again, everything would be fine, Claire. I don’t want to see them separated in the afterlife." Gradually, Claire took the idea seriously. She began talking to her mother about Jules and his appearances, and soon, she had the courage to write a letter to her father, asking him to come back, even just for a moment, so that the family could be together, if only for an instant. One weekend, the miracle happened. Her father, touched by Claire’s letter, agreed to come and spend time with them. Claire felt as though Jules’s presence guided her every step. As the day went on, a strange but powerful sense of harmony filled the house. The tensions eased, and even though Claire’s parents knew they were not meant to be together, a new peace settled between them. That evening, after dinner, Claire found herself alone for a moment in the living room, watching the remnants of Jules’s shadow. He stood there, smiling faintly, his eyes filled with gratitude and happiness. He had not disappeared, but he seemed calmer, as if he had found peace. He gently faded away, before dissolving into the light of the fireplace.

From fleeing for your safety and enrolling in a school filled with psychopaths… to being claimed by a deranged alpha prince? Yeah, you’re better off dead. • . • Jules’ life was picture perfect until his entire family got murdered all of a sudden, with him being the only survivor. A savior swooped In because he was still in immense danger, and that led to Jules taking on a new identity and becoming a completely different person overnight— and enrolling into Carnivals, a prestigious all-boys school for all supernatural beings. In Carnivals, monsters lurk the dark hallways and the strong preyed on the weak. You either become a predator or a prey… and from one look at Jules— a boy too pretty for his own good, with a slender and petite build, it was obvious that he was gonna be eaten alive by the predators. Here comes Blaze, a wolf who sends shivers down every predator’s spine in the school, an insanely hot Alpha who was as dangerous and deranged as the rumors claimed. He took one glance at Jules and decided there and then that Jules belonged to him. *** I inched backwards, eyes widening even more as my eyes zeroed in on the smirk tugging at the side of his lips. Blaze never smiled, and whenever he does, it never meant anything good. My heartbeat quickened as I scrambled backwards even more, breath stuttering to a stop as he began to narrow the distance between us. In no time, my back was plastered against the cold wall and that was when it hit me right in the chest that I was cornered and ensnared, like an actual prey… by none other than Blaze, when I had thought my life couldn’t get any worse. He towered over me effortlessly, emitting so much dominance and I had to tilt my head backwards for me to be able to meet his dark eyes, and my breath hitched when our eyes locked. He leaned down and my eyes snapped closed at once as I held my breath, waiting for him to strike. I’ve heard all the horrifying, endless rumors about him. He was an Alpha Prince whose presence someone like me should never be in. When I felt the tip of his cold nose glide over the length of my throat, my mouth fell open to release a startled gasp. He dragged in a long, audible breath and I felt a shiver rattle down my spine as I grew even stiffer, confusion clouding my mind. What was happening? Why was he doing this out of nowhere? Oh my gosh… he really was a deranged alpha like everyone says! *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+!

"What the hell, FENG YUANSHENG? Your men just attacked my business rival! I had my own plans for him," she demanded, her voice sharp and biting.

A Detty December Love Story is a tale of love, longing, and emotional complexity that explores the raw vulnerability of two people caught in the fleeting magic of a Lagos holiday romance, torn between the reality of what’s to come and the depth of what they share. Ezinne, a fiercely independent woman who’s spent her life avoiding love and emotional entanglements. Her carefully constructed world is upended when she meets Chike, an irresistible Nigerian-Juju boy (IJGB) on vacation in Lagos for the festive season. What starts as an impulsive one-night stand sparks a whirlwind romance that forces Ezinne to confront feelings she’s spent years suppressing. In the vibrant chaos of Lagos’ festive season, Ezinne and Chike’s paths continue to cross at brunches, beach parties, and concerts, each encounter deepening their connection. Despite the undeniable chemistry between them, Ezinne is determined not to let her emotions get involved, knowing that Chike will soon leave for his life abroad. As much as she tries to push him away, Chike’s charm and sincerity wear down her defenses, making her question if this is something more than just a holiday fling. Chike, however, isn’t content with just being another chapter in her life. He’s falling for her, and he’s not ready to let go. As the days grow closer to his departure, Ezinne’s resolve begins to falter, but fear of heartache holds her back. With every kiss, every shared moment, and every tender word, their connection grows harder to ignore, leaving her torn between the certainty of their inevitable goodbye and the longing for something deeper that neither of them expected. Ezinne tries to convince herself that this is just a fleeting romance, a beautiful but transient chapter in her life. But Chike’s confession of love, followed by a final kiss before he leaves, changes everything. Can their love survive the distance? Or will the weight of goodbye leave their hearts shattered? In the end, the story asks: Does love have to end when the season does?

Secretly Captivated was a somewhat annoyingly low-profile Internet CV (Character Voice). In all of his life, he had only dubbed in two radio dramas, yet he stably sat on his throne of the number one CV in the Internet dubbing circle. He was romantic, gorgeous, charming, and touching. When he spoke, you would think that he was looking at you with a somewhat smiling expression in his eyes that made you hold your breath. Would you fall in love with a person because of his voice, regardless of his appearance, age, or family background? Would you fall in love with this person without the slightest hesitation solely because of his voice? If you asked Mo Lan questions like these, she would definitely say she would while nodding her head without the slightest hesitation. Mo Lan believed that the first time she met Gu Yemi was on the high-speed railway that was driving towards Hangzhou when she had kindly reminded him that the railway train already reached the station. However, the first time Gu Yemi met her was actually very late at night in a train on Line 2 of the Nanjing Subway. Afterward, the Internet dubber CV Secretly Captivated who had already mysteriously hidden away for three years announced that he would begin acting in new projects and became active in the Internet dubbing circle again. And after that, he announced that henceforth, he would withdraw from the circle again. Actually, the fact that Gu Yemi only briefly retired in order to find that girl who made a smiling expression from the corners of her eyes to the tips of her eyebrows when talking about him was probably not even known by Mo Lan. Afterward, he told her that in the second half of his life, he only wanted to be captivated by her. With these sincere words, he offered to give me his only and eternal life in the Internet dubbing circle.

De huir por tu seguridad e inscribirte en una escuela llena de psicópatas... ¿a ser reclamado por un desquiciado príncipe alfa? Sí, estarías mejor muerto. • . • La vida de Jules era perfecta hasta que toda su familia fue asesinada de repente, siendo él el único superviviente. Un salvador apareció porque aún estaba en inmenso peligro, y eso llevó a Jules a adoptar una nueva identidad y convertirse en una persona completamente diferente de la noche a la mañana —e inscribirse en Carnavales, una prestigiosa escuela solo para chicos para todos los seres sobrenaturales. En Carnavales, los monstruos acechan los oscuros pasillos y los fuertes se aprovechan de los débiles. O te conviertes en un depredador o en una presa... y de una mirada a Jules —un chico demasiado bonito para su propio bien, con una figura esbelta y delicada, era obvio que iba a ser devorado vivo por los depredadores. Aquí viene Blaze, un lobo que envía escalofríos por la espina dorsal de cada depredador en la escuela, un Alfa increíblemente atractivo que era tan peligroso y desquiciado como los rumores afirmaban. Él echó un vistazo a Jules y decidió ahí mismo que Jules le pertenecía. *** Me fui hacia atrás, los ojos aún más abiertos mientras me centraba en la sonrisa que tiraba de la comisura de sus labios. Blaze nunca sonreía, y cuando lo hacía, nunca significaba nada bueno. Mi corazón latía más rápido mientras me agitaba hacia atrás aún más, el aliento interrumpido cuando él comenzó a reducir la distancia entre nosotros. En poco tiempo, mi espalda estaba pegada contra la fría pared y fue entonces cuando me golpeó en el pecho que estaba acorralado y atrapado, como una auténtica presa... por nadie más que Blaze, cuando pensé que mi vida no podía empeorar. Se erguía sobre mí sin esfuerzo, emitiendo tanta dominancia que tuve que inclinar mi cabeza hacia atrás para poder encontrarme con sus oscuros ojos, y mi aliento se cortó cuando nuestras miradas se encontraron. Se inclinó y mis ojos se cerraron de golpe en cuanto contuve la respiración, esperando a que él atacara. He oído todos los horribles, interminables rumores acerca de él. Era un Príncipe Alfa cuya presencia alguien como yo nunca debería estar. Cuando sentí la punta de su fría nariz deslizarse a lo largo de mi cuello, mi boca se abrió para soltar un gáspido sorprendido. Aspiró larga y audiblemente y sentí un escalofrío recorrer mi espina dorsal mientras me ponía aún más rígido, la confusión nublando mi mente. ¿Qué estaba pasando? ¿Por qué estaba haciendo esto de repente? ¡Dios mío... realmente era un alfa desquiciado como todos dicen! *** ¡ESTE LIBRO ESTÁ CLASIFICADO PARA MAYORES DE 18 AÑOS! Contiene contenido maduro tal como: - Acoso escolar. - Consumo de drogas. - Contenido sexual [mucho de él.] - Violencia. - Harén [no entre los personajes principales.] Así que... procede con precaución, ¡has sido advertido! *¡No tengo los derechos de la portada!

De fugir pela sua segurança e se matricular em uma escola cheia de psicopatas... a ser reivindicado por um príncipe alfa perturbado? É, você está melhor morto. • . • A vida de Jules era perfeita até que sua família inteira foi assassinada de repente, sendo ele o único sobrevivente. Um salvador apareceu porque ele ainda estava em grande perigo, e isso levou Jules a assumir uma nova identidade e se tornar uma pessoa completamente diferente da noite para o dia — e se matricular na Carnivals, uma prestigiada escola só para meninos e para todos os seres sobrenaturais. Na Carnivals, monstros espreitam os corredores escuros e os fortes predam os fracos. Ou você se torna um predador ou uma presa... e por uma olhada em Jules — um garoto bonito demais para seu próprio bem, com um corpo esbelto e pequeno, era óbvio que ele seria devorado vivo pelos predadores. Aqui vem Blaze, um lobo que faz os predadores da escola tremerem, um Alfa insanamente atraente que era tão perigoso e perturbado quanto os rumores afirmavam. Ele deu uma olhada em Jules e decidiu ali mesmo que Jules pertencia a ele. *** Eu me afastei para trás, olhos arregalando ainda mais enquanto focava no sorriso que se formava no canto de seus lábios. Blaze nunca sorria, e quando o fazia, nunca significava nada bom. Meu coração acelerou enquanto eu recuava ainda mais, respiração entrecortando ao parar enquanto ele começava a diminuir a distância entre nós. Em pouco tempo, minhas costas estavam coladas à parede fria e foi então que me atingiu bem no peito que eu estava encurralado e aprisionado, como uma presa de verdade... por ninguém menos que Blaze, quando eu pensei que minha vida não poderia piorar. Ele se impôs sobre mim sem esforço, emanando tanta dominância que tive que inclinar a cabeça para trás para conseguir encarar seus olhos escuros, e minha respiração falhou quando nossos olhos se encontraram. Ele se inclinou e meus olhos se fecharam de imediato enquanto eu prendia a respiração, esperando que ele atacasse. Eu já tinha ouvido todos os rumores horríveis e intermináveis sobre ele. Ele era um Príncipe Alfa cuja presença alguém como eu jamais deveria estar. Quando senti a ponta de seu nariz frio deslizar pelo comprimento da minha garganta, minha boca se abriu para soltar um grito de surpresa. Ele inspirou profundamente, um som audível, e senti um arrepio percorrer minha espinha à medida que ficava ainda mais rígido, confusão turvando minha mente. O que estava acontecendo? Por que ele estava fazendo isso do nada? Meu Deus... ele realmente era um alfa perturbado como todos dizem! *** ESTE LIVRO É AVALIADO PARA MAIORES DE 18! Contém conteúdo maduro como: - Bullying. - Uso de drogas. - Conteúdo erótico [muito disso.] - Violência. - Harém [não entre os personagens principais.] Então... prossiga com cautela, você foi avisado! *Eu não possuo os direitos da capa!

Fuir pour votre sécurité et s'inscrire dans une école remplie de psychopathes... pour être revendiqué par un prince alpha dérangé ? Ouais, vous seriez mieux mort. • . • La vie de Jules était parfaite jusqu'à ce que toute sa famille soit assassinée soudainement, lui étant le seul survivant. Un sauveur est intervenu parce qu'il était toujours en grand danger, ce qui a conduit Jules à adopter une nouvelle identité et à devenir une personne complètement différente du jour au lendemain— et à s'inscrire à Carnivals, une école prestigieuse pour garçons, réservée aux êtres surnaturels. À Carnivals, des monstres rôdent dans les couloirs sombres et les forts prédaient les faibles. Vous devenez soit un prédateur, soit une proie... et à en juger par l'allure de Jules— un garçon trop beau pour son bien, avec une carrure mince et petite, il était évident qu'il allait être dévoré vivant par les prédateurs. Voici Blaze, un loup qui fait frissonner l'échine de chaque prédateur de l'école, un Alpha incroyablement séduisant qui était aussi dangereux et dérangé que les rumeurs le prétendaient. Il jeta un coup d'œil à Jules et décida là, à ce moment-là, que Jules lui appartenait. *** Je reculais lentement, les yeux écarquillés alors que mon regard se fixait sur le sourire naissant au coin de ses lèvres. Blaze ne souriait jamais, et quand il le faisait, cela ne présageait rien de bon. Mon cœur s'accélérait alors que je reculais encore, le souffle coupé alors qu'il commençait à réduire la distance entre nous. En un rien de temps, mon dos était plaqué contre le mur froid et c'est alors que ça m'a frappé en plein cœur que j'étais acculé et piégé, comme une véritable proie... par nul autre que Blaze, alors que je pensais que ma vie ne pouvait pas être pire. Il me dominait sans effort, dégageant tant de dominance et je devais incliner la tête en arrière pour pouvoir rencontrer ses yeux sombres, et mon souffle s'est coupé lorsque nos regards se sont croisés. Il se pencha et mes yeux se fermèrent immédiatement alors que je retenais mon souffle, attendant qu'il frappe. J'avais entendu toutes les rumeurs horrifiantes et interminables à son sujet. C'était un Prince Alpha en présence duquel quelqu'un comme moi ne devrait jamais se trouver. Quand j'ai senti la pointe de son nez froid glisser sur la longueur de ma gorge, ma bouche s'est ouverte pour lâcher un gazouillis de surprise. Il aspira un long souffle audible et un frisson me parcourut l'échine alors que je devenais encore plus raide, la confusion obscurcissant mon esprit. Qu'est-ce qui se passait ? Pourquoi faisait-il cela soudainement ? Oh mon dieu... il était vraiment un alpha dérangé comme tout le monde le dit ! *** CE LIVRE EST CLASSÉ 18+ !

Dari melarikan diri demi keselamatan dan mendaftar di sebuah sekolah yang penuh dengan psikopat… menjadi klaim oleh seorang pangeran alpha yang gila? Yeah, kamu lebih baik mati saja. • . • Hidup Jules sempurna seperti gambar sampai seluruh keluarganya tiba-tiba dibunuh, dengan dia sebagai satu-satunya yang selamat. Seorang penyelamat muncul karena dia masih dalam bahaya besar, dan itu membuat Jules mengambil identitas baru dan menjadi orang yang benar-benar berbeda dalam semalam— dan mendaftar di Karnival, sekolah all-boys bergengsi untuk semua makhluk supernatural. Di Karnival, monster-monster bersembunyi di lorong-lorong gelap dan yang kuat memangsa yang lemah. Kamu harus menjadi predator atau mangsa... dan dari satu tatapan pada Jules— seorang anak terlalu cantik untuk kebaikannya sendiri, dengan tubuh langsing dan mungil, sudah jelas dia akan dimangsa hidup-hidup oleh para predator. Muncullah Blaze, serigala yang membuat setiap predator di sekolah merinding, Alpha yang sangat ganteng yang seberbahaya dan segila rumor yang dikatakan. Dia melirik Jules dan memutuskan di sana dan saat itu bahwa Jules adalah miliknya. *** Saya bergeser mundur, mata semakin melebar saat mata saya tertuju pada senyum di sisi bibirnya. Blaze tidak pernah tersenyum, dan kapan pun dia melakukannya, itu tidak pernah berarti apa-apa yang baik. Detak jantungku mempercepat saat aku mundur lebih jauh lagi, napas tersengal-sengal berhenti saat dia mulai mendekatkan jarak di antara kami. Dalam sekejap, punggungku terdorong ke dinding dingin dan saat itulah aku tersadar di dada bahwa aku terpojok dan terperangkap, seperti mangsa sebenarnya... oleh Blaze, ketika aku pikir hidupku tidak bisa menjadi lebih buruk. Dia menjulang di atas saya dengan mudah, memancarkan dominasi begitu besar dan saya harus mendongakkan kepala ke belakang agar bisa menatap matanya yang gelap, dan napasku tercekat saat mata kami bertemu. Diadakannya kepala dan mata saya segera tertutup saat saya menahan napas, menunggu dia menyerang. Saya telah mendengar semua rumor mengerikan, tanpa henti tentang dia. Dia adalah Pangeran Alpha yang kehadirannya orang sepertiku tidak seharusnya berada di dalamnya. Ketika saya merasakan ujung hidung dinginnya meluncur di sepanjang leher saya, mulut saya terbuka melepaskan desah kaget. Dia menarik napas panjang, terdengar dan saya merasakan gemetar merayap turun tulang punggung saya saat saya menjadi semakin kaku, kebingungan memenuhi pikiran saya. Apa yang terjadi? Mengapa dia melakukan ini tiba-tiba? Astaga... dia memang alpha yang gila seperti yang semua orang katakan! *** BUKU INI DINILAI 18+!

In a world where power is claimed by bloodlines and politics, Meiying, a fierce and skilled warrior, returns home after years of hidden training to find her family gone and her homeland in ruins. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she saves Prince Cheng during a deadly ambush. Unbeknownst to her, this act binds her fate to his, revealing a powerful, untapped secret within herself—the rare ability to manipulate life force, a gift once wielded by the protectors of the throne. But as the Emperor’s desperate deal with a demon curses Cheng’s life and the empire’s stability, Meiying finds herself entangled in a battle far larger than personal revenge. With dark forces and political conspiracies threatening to destroy everything, Meiying must come to terms with her newfound powers and decide where her loyalty lies. Can Meiying, a warrior defined by strength become the key to breaking the curse and saving an empire in peril? As the prince fights for his destiny, will her path of vengeance lead to destruction—or will it be the salvation they both need? ——— Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Author’s Note (Rong King) This story is a work of fiction, entirely created from my imagination.
