[LENGKAP] Reth bergerak mendekati Elia, dagunya rendah sehingga bayangan dari rahang kerasnya membelah kerah bulu tebal di rompinya. Rambutnya jatuh menutupi matanya dalam perkelahian, sehingga ia menatapnya melalui rambutnya seperti singa di dalam rumput. Setiap langkahnya, langkah anggun dan bergulir mengingatkannya pada pemangsa yang mengendap-endap mendekati mangsanya. Meskipun lantai hutan penuh dengan ranting dan daun, ia tak membuat suara sedikitpun. “Si-siapa kamu?” Elia tergagap, mundur sambil mengangkat tangan. Dia mengikuti langkah demi langkahnya sampai Elia menabrak pohon di belakangnya—dan tidak berhenti sampai ia menjulang di atasnya, begitu lebar bahu dan dada Reth membentuk dinding di depannya. Dia bisa merasakan panas yang terpancar dari kulit Reth dalam udara malam yang sejuk. “Saya adalah Raja Leonine.” Suaranya adalah kerikil yang dalam dan serak. Di belakangnya, paduan suara desah, auman, dan cuitan persetujuan meningkat dari orang-orang yang menonton. “Dan kamu adalah?” “Elia,” ia berbisik. “Elia,” ia mendengus, mendekat lebih jauh, membawa dengan dirinya aroma pinus dan hujan serta musk yang khas dari sesuatu yang sangat maskulin. “Saya Reth.” Ia mengucapkan namanya dengan gulungan aneh di tenggorokannya. “Saya adalah Raja Binatang. Saya adalah Pemimpin Klan, dan saya adalah Alfa dari WildWood.” Beberapa geraman muncul dari kerumunan di belakangnya saat itu, namun ia mengabaikannya. Elia menelan ludah ketika ia mendekat sampai rambut kasar di dagunya menggesek pipinya. “Saya adalah Raja,” katanya, “Dan kamu akan menjadi pasangan saya.” Hutan di belakangnya meledak. ****** Elia adalah seorang mahasiswi miskin sampai malam ketika ia dibawa ke dunia Anima—diperintah oleh manusia yang jantung kuno mereka berdetak dengan darah binatang. Di sana ia dipaksa mengikuti pertarungan sampai mati. Tapi ketika Elia selamat, dan menolak untuk membunuh lawannya yang terakhir, Raja harus membunuh Elia sendiri, atau mengambilnya sebagai pasangan. Reth, Raja Binatang yang brutal dengan darah singa, mengejutkan semua orang ketika ia memilih Elia yang lemah, manusia, untuk menjadi Ratu-Nya. Ia menjanjikan semua kemewahan dari kekayaan dan posisinya—tapi ia jelas: Elia tidak akan menghangatkannya di tempat tidur. Ia memilihnya untuk mengalahkan mereka-mereka yang mencoba membuatnya terjebak dengan menggabungkan garis keturunan Leonine-Nya dengan Serigala. Elia memerlukan bantuan dari Anima untuk menjadi lebih kuat dan memerintah mereka dengan baik. Namun, Serigala yang dendam hanya melihat manusia lemah yang telah membuat mereka malu. Saat Elia dan Reth semakin dekat, Serigala bertekad untuk menghancurkannya. Apakah Reth dan Elia mengakui perasaan mereka satu sama lain tepat waktu untuk berjuang demi Kerajaan—dan nyawa mereka—melawan suku serigala yang jahat? Ataukah Serigala akan membunuh Elia dan merebut tahta? [Konten matang - tidak ada kekerasan seksual] Cover Art digunakan dengan izin hak cipta berbayar.

She owed him after all... ~ EXCERPT Archie's eyes darkened when he saw her stumbling out of the wine cellar, a bottle of wine in one hand and her night robe, in the other. She was literally half naked. "Hey..." her greeting came out in a slur, and that was all he needed to know she was drunk. Very drunk, at that. "Why?" he asked simply, knowing she would interpret his question as she usually did. "I...I visited them today. The flowers on their stones were already wilted and...and...it broke me. I wanted to be happy and at the same time, I wanted to cry," Avery replied, inhaling short wisps of air before she continued, "Then I found the cellar." "Did it work?" She shook her head slowly in reply, lifting her head up in time to see a mischievous smirk curl on his lips. "Don't be sad, Baby girl. I happen to know a way to make you cry and keep you excited at the same time," he said. "Really?" "Wanna try it, Mama?" Avery nodded, slowly but firmly as he closed the distance between them. As he promised, she did cry...in pleasure. Note: This book is participating in the Cupid's Quill Contest. Your support is highly appreciated!

Malam itu, hujan turun semakin deras di kota kecil tempat Lia tinggal. Gemericik air yang menetes dari genting membuat suasana semakin mencekam. Hawa dingin merayap melalui celah-celah jendela kamar kosnya yang sederhana. Lia baru saja selesai mandi, air masih menetes dari rambutnya yang basah. Dengan cepat, ia merapatkan handuk ke tubuhnya sebelum mengenakan pakaian tidur. Namun, ketika ia hendak membuang pembalut bekas ke tempat sampah di kamar mandi, ia merasakan sesuatu yang aneh. Sebuah aroma menyelinap di udara. Bukan bau darah biasa, melainkan sesuatu yang lebih busuk, seperti daging yang membusuk di tempat lembab. Lia bergidik, bulu kuduknya berdiri seketika. Ia menahan napas, mencoba mengabaikan rasa tidak nyaman yang mulai merayap di tubuhnya. Dengan cepat, ia membuang pembalut itu ke dalam tempat sampah dan menutupnya rapat. Namun, perasaan tidak enak tidak hilang begitu saja. Seolah-olah ada sesuatu yang sedang mengawasi dari sudut kamar mandi. Lia menelan ludah, matanya bergerak mengamati sekitar, tetapi tidak ada yang berubah. Kamar mandi tetap seperti biasanya. Cermin di hadapannya berembun, meskipun ia tidak menggunakan air panas. Jantung Lia berdegup lebih cepat. Ia melangkah mendekat dan mengusap embun di permukaan cermin dengan tangannya. Samar-samar, tampak sebuah jejak... seperti lidah yang menjilati kaca. Lia terpaku, darahnya seakan membeku di dalam tubuhnya. Ia mengedip beberapa kali, berharap itu hanya bayangannya sendiri. Tapi tidak, jejak itu tetap ada, bahkan semakin jelas. Seolah-olah sesuatu—atau seseorang—benar-benar menjilati cermin dari dalam. Ia mundur perlahan, tangan gemetar meraih gagang pintu. Ia buru-buru keluar dari kamar mandi dan mengunci pintunya. Namun, ketika ia berbalik menuju ranjangnya, ia mendengar sesuatu. Sebuah suara isapan pelan, seperti seseorang sedang menjilati sesuatu dengan penuh nafsu. "Slepp... slepp..."

Avery Donovan, a dedicated undergraduate specializing in the study of the soul and mind, dreams of unraveling the mysteries of consciousness and the essence of existence. His research dives deep into the intersection of human behavior, the psyche, and the elusive nature of the soul itself. But his promising academic journey comes to an abrupt halt when a tragic accident leaves him in a coma. When Avery awakens, he finds himself reborn in an extraordinary world where magic and science coexist in a delicate balance. His new identity is Avery Nightshade, a twelve-year-old boy born into a family obsessed with political dominance and the control of ancient mystical forces. Seen merely as a tool for securing alliances, Avery is thrust into a life of manipulation and control, stripped of his autonomy. Yet, Avery is far from powerless. Haunted by memories of his past life and driven by his profound knowledge of the soul and mind, he begins to unravel the mechanics of this strange world's magic. Unlike others who view magic as a weapon or a means to power, Avery perceives it as an extension of the soul-mind-body connection—an intricate web that governs both the physical and metaphysical realms. By blending his psychological insights with this world's magical principles, Avery discovers new ways to manipulate emotions, alter perceptions, and even influence and control the souls of others. As he sharpens his abilities, Avery becomes entangled in a clandestine war between rival factions, each seeking control over a primal force capable of reshaping reality itself. As Avery delves deeper into this power struggle, he must confront his own limits. His increasing ability to manipulate minds and souls tempts him with the possibility of vengeance against those who have sought to control him. But Avery understands that freedom comes at a cost, and wielding such immense power requires him to grapple with the weight of his own morality. The Soul Weaver invites readers on a gripping journey where the mind and soul are not just tools but battlegrounds. Follow Avery Nightshade as he transforms from a disposable pawn into a formidable force, uncovering the delicate balance between control, freedom, and the profound mysteries of the soul. To master this new world, Avery must first master himself.
