Book 2 of the 'In Love' Saga Five years. That’s how long Ethan Jackson and Demyan Chernyshevsky-Coleman have gone without touching, without talking, without breaking. Five years of dodging family dinners. Five years of stolen glances across the room. Five years of pretending they were over each other. For Demyan, living in the shadow of two legends — Edward and Vasili — was hard enough. Forgetting the boy who owned his heart for a decade? Impossible. For Ethan, fighting to prove he belongs in a name-brand family came with a price. The price was him. The boy he loved. The only one. Now fate has thrown them back into the same room. Old wounds. New temptations. And family expectations that could destroy them both. Will their love survive a second chance... Or will new conquests ruin what was never really over? Read Edward in Love and its side story first to understand the beginning of this legendary family saga.

He Yuan had accidentally caused his own death. He had no idea he was even dead until he suddenly woke up on the hard floor of an empty room. What had killed him? Well... for future reference, it's a terrible idea to install a chandelier over your bed. As he tried to get his bearings right, a strange guy suddenly popped out of thin air and he was offered a job. The job offer granted him eternal life with the alternative being reincarnation. Most would hastily choose to be reincarnated so they can start a new life but not He Yuan. He was skeptical, why would anyone want reincarnation? Once you reincarnated 'you' cease to exist. He didn't care about what people said about starting afresh, gaining new memories and all that. All he knew was that once a person reincarnated, they get thrown into a different environment, different family, meet new people and in short became a different person entirely. What scared He Yuan the most was losing his own thoughts and hence, awareness of his current self and so, he chose to accept the job. What did the job entail? He carried out tasks given to him by people who were called 'leasers.' They were called this because they leased out their bodies to 'taskers' for a period of time to help set their crooked lives straight. What the leasers didn't know was that the taskers got into realms and helped them so they( taskers) could focus on their own main tasks which was world/realm balance. These realms had 'special ones' who siphoned the luck out of it. Luck was the binding force of these realms so without it, the realms would begin to break apart and deteriorate into unlivable hells. So in essence, leasers gave put their bodies and 'payment' in the form of soul energy, taskers helped out the leasers while balancing the realms and the realms become stable once more. Pretty straightforward right? Yes. But can someone tell He Yuan why these world was so full of hypocrites, Mary sue and Gary stu characters who thought it was excusable to do horrible things just because they were in love? He Yuan grit his teeth. If you want to be in love, then be in love, was there any need to use others as stepping stones?! He rolled up his sleeves and bounced forward. Just you wait as I teach you all a valuable lesson! #Gongmc UPDATES: Twice daily ORIGINAL STORY.

Peringatan: Buku ini berisi sejumlah besar adegan dewasa yang sangat panas! "Lihat keadaanmu, serigala betina kecilku," suaranya rendah dan penuh ancaman, seperti amplas yang menggaruk di sepanjang sarafku. "Kau basah hanya karena itu?" Kemudian dia menekan ciuman keras ke buku jariku. Sialan! Lidahnya yang kasar meluncur di sepanjang tulang jari kurusku, mencicipi keringat asin dan ketakutan di kulitku. Getaran hebat menjalari seluruh tubuhku. Erangan yang tidak bisa kutahan meluncur dari bibirku. "Ah... Sebastian..." Kurasakan pahaku saling bergesekan dengan sendirinya, gerakan pengkhianat sialan itu membuat vaginaku mencengkeram begitu kuat hingga hampir orgasme. Ya, begitu, kau jalang kecil yang putus asa. Aku mengutuk diriku sendiri dalam pikiranku. Dia membalikkan tanganku, ibu jarinya menekan keras—hampir menghukum—ke kulit sensitif di bagian dalam pergelangan tanganku. Denyut nadiku berdegup di sana di bawah telapak tangannya seolah menjadi gila. "Ini berdetak sangat keras," bisiknya, nafasnya panas di kulitku, "apakah ini berdetak untukku, Seraphina? Katakan padaku." Kemudian dia memasukkan salah satu jariku ke dalam mulutnya yang panas dan basah. Ya Tuhan... Lidahnya yang kasar berputar, menggesek, menggaruk sepanjang kulit jariku, air liur hangat membasahi setiap incinya. Dan matanya tak pernah meninggalkanku—menatapku seperti binatang buas yang mengunci mangsanya. Dia menghisap dengan lembut pada awalnya, lalu tiba-tiba dengan kekuatan. Ritme itu... Sialan, dia sedang menyetubuhi jariku dengan mulutnya. "Apakah kau menggunakan ini untuk menyetubuhi mulutku, Seraphina?" Dia melepaskan jariku dengan suara pop yang kotor, melihat langsung ke dalam pikiranku. "Bayangkan ini adalah penisku. Apakah rasanya enak, serigala betina kecil yang kotor?" Punggungku melengkung tak terkendali, seperti pelacur rendahan yang diam-diam mengundangnya. Rintihan patah yang memalukan lolos dari tenggorokanku. "Enak... sangat enak..." Aromaku mengental, panas bunga liar dan nafsu memenuhi udara, menelan habis akal sehatku. Aku bisa merasakan pengendalian diri yang mengerikan dalam tubuhnya mulai retak. Dia ingin mendengarku mengerang namanya saat aku orgasme. Dia ingin membenamkan dirinya ke dalam panasnya tubuhku yang basah dan kosong sampai aku tidak bisa merasakan apa pun kecuali dorongannya yang kasar. Dia beralih ke jari tengahku, memberikan perhatian cabul yang sama menyeluruhnya. Lidahnya berputar dengan nakal di pangkal jari, lalu mendorong dalam-dalam, menghisap keras seolah-olah mencicipi madu termanis. Sialan! Pinggulku tersentak ke atas tanpa kendali. Tanganku yang lain mencengkeram karpet, buku-buku jari memutih, pandangan larut dalam badai hasrat yang menelanku bulat-bulat. "Aku membutuhkanmu... untuk mengisi vaginaku, Sebastian..." —— Aku tumbuh sebagai manusia di dalam kawanan serigala, tapi ironisnya, aku justru menjadi pasangan Alfa kawanan itu. Kupikir aku akan cocok sempurna dengan dunia serigala—sampai hari ketika aku memergoki pasangan Alfaku bercumbu dengan serigala betina lain di kursi belakang mobil. Dengan tangan gemetar, aku menipunya agar menandatangani surat perceraian—diam-diam bersumpah membalas dendam. Tapi mereka tidak berhenti. Ibunya mengirim preman untuk menghancurkanku. Selingkuhannya berusaha melenyapkanku. Bahkan rekan kerjaku ingin memanfaatkanku. Malam itu, aku hampir kehilangan nyawaku. Hingga Alpha Sebastian menemukanku—dingin, kejam, tak tertandingi. Dia bilang dia tidak membutuhkan pasangan. Tapi dia melindungiku seperti pasangan. Menyentuhku seperti pasangan. Menatapku seperti pasangan, seolah aku sudah menjadi miliknya. Aku berusaha menolak pendekatannya. Aku tidak ingin membuat kesalahan yang sama dua kali. Serigala tidak akan pernah menerima pasangan manusia. Tapi setiap kali dia mendekatiku, setiap kali tangan yang membakar itu menggapaiku, aku selalu mendambanya—ingin lebih—namun aku sudah muak dengan janji-janji. Sampai aku menemukan bahwa masa laluku ternyata tidak sederhana sama sekali—dan Sebastian memiliki alasannya sendiri untuk mendekatiku—

Grace Harper har altid været en outsider – opfostret i en ulveflok, der aldrig rigtig accepterede hende, adopteret af en alfa med for mange hemmeligheder. Da hendes ekskæreste forlader hende til fordel for sin mage, og sandheden om hendes adoption kommer for en dag, ved Grace, at hun må flygte ... eller dø i forsøget. Men hendes vej til frihed kolliderer med Lycan Kongen. Kold, magtfuld og tynget af spøgelser fra en fortid, han nægter at dele, ønsker Caine ikke Grace i sin verden. Han tror ikke, hun hører hjemme i nogen anden verden end sin egen. Og alligevel, med skæbnen, der binder deres sjæle sammen, begynder hans kontrol at slå revner. Grace bad aldrig om hans beskyttelse. Hun bad heller aldrig om at begære ham. Men noget urgammelt er ved at vågne, og jo dybere hun dykker ned i sandheden om sin fortid, jo mere indser hun: Måske var det aldrig meningen, at hun skulle være fri. Måske var det meningen, at hun skulle forandre alt. Startende med ham. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* er den lettere vanvittige romance mellem en menneskepige med ubekvem menneskelig moral og hendes mildt sociopatiske skæbnebestemte mage – som tilfældigvis også er Lycan Kongen og har den følelsesmæssige intelligens som en sten. Heldungvis bliver deres farligt magnetiske bånd (knap nok) afbalanceret af kaos fra en funden familie, en røvfuld magi og en forbindelse som skæbnebestemte mager, der rent faktisk kan slå hende ihjel, hvis de rører hinanden. Ups. Lige når du tror, du læser *endnu en varulvehistorie*, sniger plottet og verdensopbygningen sig ind på dig med kløer, tænder og reelle konsekvenser. Den er slow-burn, følelsesmæssigt rodet og spækket med den slags spænding, der kan slå dig ihjel – eller kysse dig. --- **ADVARSLER:** R18: Smut, smut, smut. Også mørke temaer, herunder, men ikke begrænset til: Mord, mordforsøg, en stak lig, forræderi, mild sociopati, en mandlig hovedperson, der ser ud til at bade i røde flag, på trods af at hans yndlingsfarve er grøn, et uberettiget had til blåbærmuffins og pudetyveri. En **slow burn**, krydret urban fantasy-romance om ulveskiftere med en masse tilfældigt plot, der forsøger at "knot-blocke" alt. Når de hede scener rammer, bedes du læse ansvarligt. Tak~

Grace Harper has always been an outsider—raised in a wolf pack that never truly accepted her, adopted by an alpha with too many secrets. When her ex-boyfriend leaves her for his mate and the truth of her adoption comes to light, Grace knows she has to leave… or die trying. But her path to freedom slams into the Lycan King. Cold, powerful, and burdened by the ghosts of a past he refuses to share, Caine doesn’t want Grace in his world. He doesn’t believe she belongs in any world but her own. And yet, with fate tethering their souls, his control begins to crack. Grace never asked for his protection. She never asked to want him, either. But something ancient is waking, and the deeper she dives into the truth of her past, the more she realizes: maybe she was never meant to be free. Maybe she was meant to change everything. Starting with him. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* is the slightly unhinged romance between a human girl with inconvenient human morals and her mildly sociopathic fated mate—who also happens to be the Lycan King and has the emotional intelligence of a rock. Thankfully, their dangerously magnetic bond is (barely) balanced by found family chaos, a buttload of magic, and a fated mate connection that might actually kill her if they touch. Oops. Just when you think you’re reading *yet another werewolf story*, the plot and worldbuilding sneak up behind you with claws, teeth, and actual stakes. It’s slow-burn, emotionally messy, and laced with the kind of tension that could kill—or kiss—you. --- **WARNINGS:** R18: Smutty smut smut. Also, dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery. A **slow burn**, spicy wolf shifter urban fantasy romance with a lot of random plot trying to knot-block everything. When the spice hits, please read responsibly. Thank you~ [WSA 2025 Contest Entry]
