LOGINI was born among wolves… yet I never belonged to them. On nights when the moon reigns high and the forest trembles with their howls, every soul around me burns with the fire of transformation—every soul except mine. I am the Alpha’s daughter who cannot shift. The shame they prefer hidden in the shadows. I never imagined that the night the enemy chose me… would be the night I discovered the truth of who I am. The moment the Crimson Fang Pack’s howl tore through the silence, the air thickened around us. Wolves lifted their heads, answering the call with fierce devotion. And then he appeared—stepping out of the darkness as if the night itself bowed to him. His gaze locked on mine, sharp enough to carve through fate. “She’s the one I want.” With those four words… the world I knew shattered.
View MoreDering ponsel membuyarkan konsentrasi Kiria yang tengah mengamati perubahan warna di tabung reaksi. Meskipun malas, dia tetap mengeluarkan ponsel dari saku jas laboratorium. Tulisan "Presdir Arya" di layar membuatnya seketika menghela napas berat.
"Ck! Sejak si galak ini yang menjadi presdir, aku sudah seperti budak," keluhnya. Sudah setahun berlalu sejak presiden direktur di perusahaan farmasi tempatnya bekerja mengalami pergantian. Sebelumnya, PT. Farma Medikal dipimpin oleh Abimana Shaka Wijaya. Namun, dengan alasan kesehatan, lelaki bersahaja yang selalu memperlakukan Kiria seperti anak emas itu telah digantikan putranya, Arya Caraka Wijaya. Meskipun baru menginjak kepala tiga, Arya sangat berdedikasi. Perusahaan berkembang dengan pesat. Sayangnya, tekanan kerja yang diciptakannya juga besar, terutama pada divisi pengembangan formula obat yang dipimpin oleh Kiria. Untunglah, Kiria memang berbakat dan berhasil menelurkan banyak formula yang membanggakan. "Entah apa lagi maunya si galak ini!" Kiria mendengkus kasar dan masih enggan menerima panggilan. Namun, rupanya sang atasan juga tak menyerah. Dering ponsel hanya berhenti beberapa saat untuk kemudian menjerit-jerit lagi. Kiria hampir saja melempar ponsel sialan itu ke waterbath. Namun, Arlita, asistennya segera mencegah. "Sabar, Ketua, sabar. Meskipun orangnya nyebelin, bonus dari beliau, kan, juga banyak," hibur Arlita. Gadis bertubuh mungil menepuk pelan pundak Kiria, lalu menuangkan cairan bening di gelas beker ke labu ukur. Aroma dari gelas beker seketika membuat Kiria mendelik. "Hei, hati-hati, Lita! Kamu, kan, lagi pegang asam sulfat!" Arlita menyengir lebar. "Maaf, Ketua, maaf." Kiria menggeleng pelan. "Ya, sudahlah. Aku minta tolong sekalian amati perubahan warna di tabung no 51, ya, Lit. Kujawab dulu panggilan Pak Bos." Setelah mendapat anggukan dari Arlita, Kiria segera keluar dari ruangan. Dia mengatur napas sejenak terlebih dahulu sebelum menerima panggilan. Amarah yang tengah bergejolak ditahan sekuat mungkin agar suara yang terdengar tidak terkesan penuh emosi. "Halo, selamat malam, Pak Arya. Ada yang bisa saya bantu, Pak?" Terdengar suara serak dan berat. "Cepat ke klub Dream Night, ruang VVIP 1, bawakan aku penawar afrodisiaka terbaik!" Tuuut Ponsel diputus begitu saja. Kiria mendengkus kasar. Beginilah kebiasaan si pimpinan baru. Meskipun sering memberikan bonus, Arya juga suka memberikan pekerjaan di luar nalar. Klub malam? Dalam mimpi pun, Kiria tak ingin datang ke tempat seperti itu. Terlebih, si bos meminta penawar afrodisiaka. Berarti, Arya memang tengah dijebak orang dengan obat perangs*ng. Bukankah berbahaya bagi seorang wanita mendatanginya? "Bukankah Bapak bisa minta utus orang untuk mengambil obat dariku? Kenapa harus menganggu penelitian penting? Sialan! Sialan! Dasar bos diktator!" Kiria tak berhenti menggerutu bahkan saat masuk kembali ke laboratorium dan menyiapkan penawar afrodisiaka. Arlita yang tengah mencatat perubahan warna tabung reaksi mendekat dengan wajah kepo. Kiria mendelik tajam pertanda tak ingin ditanya-tanya. Namun, Arlita sudah terlanjur melihat obat yang dimasukkan ke box khusus. "Pak Arya dijebak lagi? Kasian banget, ya ...." "Lebih kasian aku yang disuruh-suruh menjadi kurirnya, Lita." "Menurutku, itu tanda Pak Arya sangat percaya pada Ketua." Kiria mengibaskan tangan. Dia segera bergegas meninggalkan laboratorium. Namun, baru saja menuju halaman depan perusahaan dan hendak memesan taksi, porsche hitam dengan nomor seri khusus telah berhenti di depanya. Seorang pria dengan setelan serba hitam keluar. "Silakan naik, Bu Kiria. Sesuai perintah Pak Arya, kami akan mengantar Anda," tuturnya sembari membukakan pintu. Dengan perasaan gelisah, Kiria memasuki mobil. Tak lama kemudian, dia terus menyumpah dalam hati. Pengawal Arya menyetir dengan kecepatan di luar nalar. *** Kiria merasa merinding saat memasuki klub malam. Terlebih, beberapa pria menatap liar pada tubuh berisinya. Musik menghentak dan aroma parfum, keringat, juga alkohol yang bercampur membuat kepalanya terasa sakit. "Aroma laboratoriumku lebih baik daripada ini. Gara-gara bos galak," gerutu Kiria dengan suara sangat pelan. Dia tentu tak mau para pengawal kekar itu mendengarnya. Tak ingin pingsan di sana, Kiria mempercepat langkah menuju ruangan VVIP bersama para pengawal. Kiria hanya berharap segera menyelesaikan tugas dan kembali ke laboratorium. Sialnya, terjadi keributan kecil di tengah arena tari klub. Beberapa pengunjung saling dorong. "Dasar sialan!" "Berengs*k, siapa yang berani memukulku!" "Anj*ng!" "Mony*t!" Bruk! Seorang pria kekar menubruk punggung Kiria. Gadis itu seketika terjerembab, lalu terguling-guling membuat beberapa orang juga ikut jatuh. Sepasang kaki penuh timbunan lemak terangkat. Kiria berguling lagi ke arah jam 12 tepat sebelum wajahnya tertimpa kaki tersebut. Setelah berjibaku menghindari aneka bentuk kaki, Kiria berhasil selamat. Dia bisa berdiri dan pergi ke tempat aman. Namun, kelegaannya tak berlangsung lama. "Sh*t! Ke mana para pengawal itu?" Kiria mendengkus. Karena tak ingin berlama-lama, dia terpaksa bertanya ruangan yang dimaksud Arya kepada salah seorang pekerja di sana. Tatapan mata pemuda pekerja itu sedikit aneh. Kiria benar-benar ingin meledak. Dia bisa menebak pikiran liar orang lain tentang wanita yang mendatangi ruangan VVIP. "Mbaknya naik ke lantai dua. Lurus saja ruang VVIP 1 ada di paling ujung." "Terima kasih, Pak." Kiria segera pergi ke lantai dua. Dia terus berjalan cepat sambil mengenggam tali tas. Namun, suara familiar dari salah satu ruangan yang sedikit terbuka membuat langkahnya seketika terhenti. "Cium! Cium! Cium!" "Tapi, ini seperti tidak benar. Mana mungkin aku dan Kak Al ...." Kiria menajamkan pendengaran. Dia tak mungkin salah. Dengan hati berdebar, Kiria membuka pintu dengan kasar. "Aldino? Nia? Apa yang kalian lakukan?" seru Kiria saat melihat kekasihnya, Aldino hendak mencium Kanania, adik kesayangnya. ***Lysandra povThe darkness around me was not merely the absence of light… it breathed, shivered, whispering secrets yet to be revealed. My heart pounded violently, its rhythm racing with every anxious step. Then, suddenly, I felt something I had never sensed before… the pulse of my unborn child, small but fierce, as if declaring its presence to the world.Waves of raw energy surged through my body, powerful and overwhelming, strengthening every step, every motion. I was stunned, awestruck, flooded with a force I had never known. It was as if the strangers standing before me had unleashed this latent power, turning my body into a vessel of living energy.Varyon stood rigid beside me, his eyes blazing with anger and protectiveness. His black wolf growled, muscles coiled, every hair on its body tense, sensing danger before it arrived. The pack around us was frozen, astonishment written across their faces: Thorne, Nymeris, Alaric, and Elowen had never witnessed such power before.The dark
My heart shattered into a thousand pieces, each fragment embedding itself into my ribcage like shards of glass. The pain was so violent I could almost hear it, a dull, hollow thud reverberating through my chest. Every heartbeat became a cruel reminder of how love could transform into agony in the blink of an eye.A crushing pressure bloomed inside my chest, as though an invisible hand had closed around my lungs, tightening slowly, mercilessly, stealing my breath.“I understand,” I said, my voice barely more than a whisper.My lips brushed softly against his forehead. The contact was fleeting, devastatingly so. I closed my eyes, clinging to the warmth of his skin, wishing, foolishly, that time would stop, that this fragile closeness could last forever. But reality never shows mercy.When I finally pulled away, an emptiness swallowed me whole. I let her go, and with her, a piece of my soul tore loose and vanished into the void she left behind.I stood there, only a few meters from my sou
“Did you know?” I asked, my gaze sweeping across them, searching for any hint, any answer that could anchor me.They exchanged cautious glances. Finally, the older Ulmarakyn fixed her eyes on mine. I still didn’t know their names, yet their presence carried weight, an authority I could feel in my bones.“We sensed something unusual about you,” she said, her voice steady, tempered by wisdom. “But we never knew that Elaris was pregnant. The day I healed you… the day I planted my claw in your heart… I knew you were different. That is why we tested you, in a way.”Her words weighed heavily on me. Silence fell, thick and suffocating.“Thank you,” I murmured at last, my voice fragile but resolute. “For answering my question… and for your offer, but I must decline it.”They nodded quietly, accepting my refusal without a word.“We understand,” she said softly. “You need time to find yourself. But know this, should you change your mind, our territory remains open to you.”I nodded, the words si
I was shattered. The weight of his betrayal crushed my chest until it felt impossible to breathe. My thoughts spiraled violently, every shared memory twisting into a blade that carved deeper with each heartbeat. He took a step toward me, regret etched across his face, pain and remorse flickering in his eyes as if he were desperate to break through the wall of fury rising inside me.I saw the battle raging within him, the hesitation, the search for words strong enough to undo what he had done. But it was useless. Nothing could be repaired now. Instinct took over, and I lifted my paw, stopping him before he could come any closer.I didn’t want his explanations. I didn’t want his apologies, his justifications, or the lies he might dress up as truth. I held his gaze one last time, searching desperately for even a fragment of the man I thought I had loved. I found only the ghost of him, shadows where warmth had once lived.So I turned away.I left him standing there as I fled into the fore
