The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

PENULIS: ANJELL TAJUK: DR. ALPHA MALE HARGA : RM27 (SM)/RM30(SS) Alpha Male. Kata kunci seorang alpha male adalah keyakinan! Yakin dengan rupanya. Yakin dengan gayanya. Dan dah tentulah yakin dengan percakapannya. Kalau tak, takkanlah terkeluar kata-kata ini ketika kali pertama mereka berdua berlanggar di depan sebuah kedai. "Dah habis tenung dah? Tak nak ambil gambar ke? Letak bawah bantal. Malam-malam boleh cium." - HILMAN UKASYAH Wow! Speechless terus Tristin Hazel mendengarnya! Apatah lagi mulut si mamat itu menyambung. "Lain kali jalan guna mata. Menyusahkan orang aje. Sebab tu Tuhan ciptakan mata kat kepala. Bukan kat lutut." - HILMAN UKASYAH Kena pula si lawannya Hazel, si kaki menjawab kelas pertama. Memang taklah dia nak duduk diam! Apatah lagi semuanya bukan salahnya. "Cakap elok-elok sikit tak boleh ke, sedara?" - TRISTIN HAZEL Dan beberapa hari selepas itu, rasa macam nak kena serangan jantung Hazel apabila orang sama yang dilanggar itu tiba-tiba buat grand entrance di tengah-tengah dewan kuliah. Ya... Dengan rasminya, alpha male tu dah bertukar jadi pensyarahnya. Permulaan perkenalan mereka tak indah langsung. Kena maki, dah. Menangis, pun dah. Hubungan pun tak lebih daripada pensyarah-pelajar. Dr. Alpha Male barbarian bak kata Hazel. Sehinggalah satu malam yang membawa sisi protective daripada si Dr. Alpha Male itu untuk Hazel. Hilman selalu ada untuk memberi Hazel semangat. Rupa-rupanya apa yang jadi itu membawa kepada pembongkaran kisah yang baru. Malam itu cumalah satu permulaan! Dan... Setelah itu Hazel selalu menjadi Damsel in Distress dan Hilman pula tak putus-putus menjadi Knight in Shining Armornya. Kerana janji Hilman padanya... "I'll do my best to protect you. Anything. I'll even be taking a bullet for you." - HILMAN UKASYAH Namun, mampukah segalanya terbongkar? Adakah semuanya memang dirancang? Atau sebenarnya hanyalah helah untuk memperdaya?

SUDAH DITERBITKAN oleh Suara Hati Publication ❤ Memang payah andai cinta dirasakan,namun dirahsiakan. Melur mungkin menyintai,namun dia bersembunyi. Firdaus mungkin menyayangi,namun dia tidak menyedari. "Yelah,papa minta Melur kahwin dengan abang tapi abi paksa abang kahwin dengan Melur. Tu je bezanya." "Abi tak paksa la. Dia pun minta abang kahwin dengan Melur." jawab Firdaus mendatar. "Habis tu yang hari-hari cakap terpaksa kahwin tu kenapa? Takkan drama semata-mata kot?" "Dah tak nak,memanglah rasa terpaksa." jawab Firdaus perlahan. Melur senyum. "Tup-tup dapat bini cun. Perghh! Dalam hati cakap 'nasib baik aku terima. Kalau tak,melepas. Lawa tu...mana nak cari.' Kan?" kata Melur sambil mengangkat-angkat keningnya. Firdaus menahan senyum melihat riak wajah Melur yang nakal itu. "Perasan." Memang Melur selamba dan selamba itulah yang membuatkan Firdaus marah. Tapi,marah acah-acah dan sombong pun acah-acah. " Abang tak payahlah nak jadikan kisah kita ni klise macam novel yang diadaptasikan ke drama TV tu. Buang masa je." kata Melur memulakan. Firdaus menoleh. "Maksud awak?" "Tengoklah kisah-kisah novel sekarang. Kahwin paksa. Mula-mula tak nak,marah-marah,gaduh-gaduh. Tidur asing-asing. Cakap awak-saya. Lepas tu perlahan-lahan suka dan jatuh cinta. Very cliche. Bersepah kat kedai buku cerita gitu. Kita ni pun dah nak jadi macam tu jugalah. Watak utamanya abanglah. Temanya,kena kahwin paksa." Mampukah isteri yang RUDE itu mematahkan ego seorang lelaki yang bergelar suami? Ya,kekadang Melur dapat merasai kasih Firdaus membaluti hatinya,namun kekadang ianya bagai bayu yang berhembus dan berlalu pergi dari sisinya. Kekadang dirasakan tangannya bersatu dengan tangan Firdaus lalu menerbitkan bunyi tanda mereka saling menyayangi. Namun kekadang dirasakan tangannya terbiar sepi dan bertepuk sendiri. Ya,ianya berbunyi tetapi hanya mimpi. Di mana dan ke mana kasihnya Firdaus pergi? Adakah masih utuh untuk Dee atau sudah berputik untuknya yang setia menanti?

"I've been hurt worse trust me," I say, referring to him but I don't even think he knows. Although, judging by the look in his eyes... I think he does know. He got the reference. "Don't confuse platonic feelings with romantic ones Hope," Adrian says sternly. "Maybe you care about me. As a friend, but you don't love me. You throw that word around like it's nothing." "When have I thrown that word around?" I demand. "Probably with your one-week-lasting boyfriends." I let out a humorless laugh. That's really what he thinks? "I've never said I love you to anyone in a romantic way." I inhale sharply. "And for my fucking misfortune, the first guy I said it to had to be my bodyguard. ❦ Hope Ashford is used to getting her way. A rich spoiled girl who doesn't have any limits.
