"River, I...I didn't realize..." I say, and before I can form the rest of my sentence, he strides towards me. I immediately step away and feel the rough bark of one of the nearby trees press into my back. One of his hands grips my jaw, so firm that I wouldn't be able to turn my head away; even if I wanted to. My whole body thrums with desire, his other hand planting itself on my waist. His onyx brown eyes bore into me; it's like being peeled back to my very inner layers, like he can see every part of me. I feel my core light up with want, my breath catching as he stares down at me, angry, lustful, intense. "You are mine." He growls, his tone rough and thick with possessiveness. I'm not prepared for what happens next. MATURE CONTENT 18+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do you do when everyone and everything you know is destroyed in front of you? For 21-year-old Holly Freeman, the only answer was to run. After barely escaping an unknown pack that ambushed her own, Holly stumbles into the territory of the Shadow Pack: the largest and deadliest pack in North America. Tales of the Shadows kept young pups scared at night, and Holly thought she'd sooner be a lonely Omega before joining them....But what is she to do when she mates with a Shadow member? And not just any member, but the ambitious, ruggedly handsome Shadow Alpha, River Matthews? Holly's heard the stories, the evils he's committed for the Shadow Expansion. Their first meeting like that of oil and water, Holly's at a total loss as to HOW they could be fated. But she's never felt anything so true. Determined to navigate the bond on her terms, and challenging River's command, they begin to find a common ground. Holly and River must learn to become each other's best allies, or risk having a greater enemy threaten not only their love, but the way of life among wolves everywhere.

After a traumatic first marriage left her body bruised and her mind in pieces, Maithili has built a world of silence. Isolated in her village, she avoids mirrors, voices, even her own name - afraid that one wrong move will make the pain return. When her worried parents consult an astrologer, they are told a second marriage might be her only path out of the shadows. Neil Chaudhary isn't looking for love. He's not against marriage - just never in a hurry for it. When he agrees to marry Maithili, he expects nothing more than civility and space. What he finds instead is a girl who flinches when he speaks too loud. A wife who won't say his name. And a story written in silence that pulls him in, piece by piece. As Maithili learns to breathe again, Neil learns what it means to wait for someone - and love, the kind that heals without hurting, begins to take shape. But can love truly heal the scars of the past, or is it simply a quiet way to survive?

Suatu hari, ia melihat Iris Sofia, seorang perawat rumah sakit jiwa, saat ia tak sengaja melihatnya. Tatapan Iris yang hangat, suaranya yang lembut, dan senyumnya yang seperti cahaya di ruang sunyi, menggoreskan sesuatu yang tak bisa dijelaskan dalam benak Romeo. Obsesi pun tumbuh. Tak bisa menahan hasrat untuk lebih dekat, Romeo mengambil keputusan gila: ia akan menjadi pasien. Ia mulai bertingkah seperti anak kecil, menggambar dengan krayon, memeluk boneka rusak, semua demi satu tujuan: berada di bawah perawatan Iris. Hari-harinya diisi dengan pura-pura, tetapi pikirannya tajam dan mengamati. Ia tahu siapa saja yang dekat dengan Iris, tahu pola makannya, cara jalannya, bahkan wangi parfum yang berubah setiap dua minggu. Dan semakin hari, batas antara akal dan delusi mulai kabur. Iris, yang penuh empati namun merasa ada yang janggal. Pasien bernama Romeo ini terlalu sadar, terlalu... menatap. Tapi ia tak bisa menjauh, seperti ada magnet tak kasat mata yang menariknya pada bahaya. Ketika sisi tergelap Romeo mulai muncul perlahan, Iris terperangkap dalam permainan manipulasi dan keputusasaan, hingga ia harus memilih: bertahan dalam bayang-bayang obsesi, atau melawan pria yang mungkin lebih waras daripada semua orang di dalam rumah sakit itu. Kisah tentang obsesi, kegilaan yang disengaja, dan cinta yang tumbuh di antara kepalsuan-menyisakan pertanyaan. °°°°°
