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+!

The world Jenna once knew was gone, replaced by a chaotic landscape where the undead ruled. Cities, once bustling with traffic and the constant hum of office life, now stood eerily quiet, littered with abandoned cars and half-eaten remains. Skyscrapers loomed over crumbling streets, their windows shattered like jagged teeth in the skyline. Before the apocalypse, Jenna was just another cog in the corporate machine—26 years old, an office worker who blended into the beige walls of her cubicle. She was sharp-witted, sarcastic, and always found a way to inject humour into the soul-crushing monotony of her daily grind.

Now, as a newly minted zombie with a strange ability to store objects in a personal pocket dimension, Jenna found herself navigating a ruined world with the same dry humour that once got her through endless office meetings. Only now, she was hoarding supplies instead of spreadsheets—and doing it in style. --- A/N The MC is dumb as f*ck so, if your looking for smart and strong MC. This story is not for you.

In the bustling corporate world, Lily, a senior employee known for her strict demeanor and impeccable work ethic, reigns with an iron fist. Her dedication and no-nonsense attitude have earned her respect and fear among her juniors, who steer clear of her path to avoid her sharp scrutiny. However, there's one exception to this rule – Ethan, a new junior who happens to be an old friend from her school days. Ethan's presence breaks through Lily's self-imposed barriers. He's transformed from the quiet boy she once knew into a vibrant, outgoing man who wears a perpetual smile. He's quick to help, warm to everyone, and his positivity seems boundless. While others might be intimidated by Lily, Ethan navigates her formidable exterior with ease, thanks to their shared history. As Ethan's unwavering cheerfulness fills the office, Lily can't help but feel a pang of jealousy. She watches as he effortlessly garners the admiration of their colleagues and chips away at her carefully cultivated reputation. His ability to maintain such happiness in the face of stress and pressure perplexes her, and a sense of rivalry takes root. The more Lily observes Ethan's interactions, the more her annoyance deepens. She becomes fixated on his seemingly perpetual joy, believing it to be a facade that undermines her own meticulous approach. As her animosity towards his positivity grows, she finds herself caught in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Memories of their past friendship only intensify her internal struggle.

"Apa kamu bilang, Cia?? Kuli bangunan?? Apa Papa nggak salah dengar?? Kamu mau menikah dengannya??" "Memang apa salahnya menikah dengan kuli bangunan? Setidaknya dia tidak pernah menduakanku!" Felicia melirik ke arah adik tirinya yang tersenyum licik. "Mau dikasih makan apa kamu nanti?? Cinta??" Papa Rangga semakin meninggikan suaranya. "Makan nasilah, Pa, pakai sambel plus lalapan!! Makan cinta doang mana kenyang?!" Felicia menyahut pertanyaan sang Papa dengan ketus. Begitulah pertengkaran yang terjadi siang itu di kediaman Atmadja.

Syukurlah, Kaisar berjanji akan bertanggung jawab dan menikahi Felicia sampai anak itu lahir dan mendapatkan pengakuan sah negara. "Sadar diri sedikit! Gue dokter! Elo cuma kuli bangunan!" Felicia yang tersulut emosi tanpa sadar menghina Kaisar. "Ya, udah. Gue pergi!" "E ... tunggu!! Kalau elo pergi siapa yang jadi bapaknya?" Felicia menarik lengan Kaisar. "Cari aja sono di rumah sakit! Lo kan dokter, kali aja nemu orang yang mau jadi bapaknya!" seru Kaisar ketus. "Ihh ... kok gitu sih!! Makanya kalau punya telur jangan besar-besar kayak telur bebek, donk! Masa sekali doang langsung jadi!!" sahut Felicia. Wajah Kaisar sudah semerah kepiting rebus, memangnya waktu itu mereka lagi bikin martabak special, sampai telur bebek dibawa-bawa?! "Memangnya siapa yang minta duluan??" balas Kaisar. Jleb! Nancep banget di hati Felicia, kan' malam itu Felicia yang duluan yang minta.
