LOGINBorn with a rare and dangerous hybrid blood, Zirah was thought to be the person cursed by the goddess, and this was not going to do her any good. Zirah was the only child of the Oakwood family and was the daughter of the then Alpha. Due to greed, her mom's lover attacks her father, and snatches the throne, killing both her parents. Zirah has to suffer under the torment of this man, and it was not going to be easy. Cursed for her bloody scent, and having the power to cause doom, Zirah is despised among her peers, and taken as a slave by her abusive stepfather who always tormented and abused her… Until she gets rid of him and decides to run away. Far away into the world where no one could find her, to run from her past, Zirah ran. Almost dying, she feels a majestic aura surrounding her, and the dominance sweeps from far away to her side. She found herself in the arms of Noah, one of the greatest Alphas of the city, Zirah passed out as Noah with lust-filled eyes, wanting to possess her and have her at all costs. But then, he scents her and notices she has a bloody aura.
View MoreTerik matahari siang memantul dari kaca jendela, menembus tirai tipis yang menggantung miring. Panas itu seolah merayap masuk hingga ke ruang tamu, membuat udara di dalam terasa lebih sesak, lebih menekan.
Namun, bukan cuaca yang membuat ruangan itu terasa seperti ruangan eksekusi—melainkan tiga pasang mata yang saling menghindar, seakan percaya bahwa dengan tidak saling menatap, masalah akan mengecil dengan sendirinya.
Sabrina Watson, perempuan cantik berkulit putih, memiliki wajah bulat, duduk di kursi kayu tua yang kaki-kakinya sedikit bergoyang. Jemarinya mengetuk meja ritmis—tak sabar, tertekan, marah—namun tak satu pun dari ketiga orang di ruangan itu berani menyahut duluan.
Ibunya—Taylor Rosi—sedang terbaring di rumah sakit. Napasnya lemah, tubuhnya dipenuhi selang-selang yang membuat Sabrina ingin memaki dunia.
Dan kini, perempuan itu sedang sendirian memperjuangkan sesuatu yang seharusnya diperjuangkan seluruh keluarga.
“Kenapa kalian cuma diam saja?” suaranya pecah. Datar, tapi getir.
Tuan George Watson—ayahnya—menghela napas panjang dari sofa usang yang warnanya mulai pudar. Asap rokok terakhirnya masih menggantung di udara sebelum dia menekan puntung itu kuat-kuat di asbak, seolah kemarahan Sabrina menular pada jarinya.
“Bukan diam, tapi Kita tidak ada uang, Sabrina.” suaranya berat, pasrah. “Biaya operasinya… sangat besar.”
Sabrina mengangkat wajah, menatap ayahnya, lalu menggeser tatapannya pada dua sosok di dekat jendela.
Cloe Watson, kakak perempuannya, bersedekap dengan wajah kesal yang berusaha menutupi rasa bersalah.
Henry Watson, si sulung, berdiri memunggungi ruangan sambil pura-pura sibuk menatap halaman.
Sabrina tersenyum miring—senyum yang lebih mirip luka.
Tentu saja mereka tidak menatap balik.
Tentu saja mereka menghindar.
“Kalau saja sisa harta keluarga kita tidak dipakai untuk investasi bodong,” katanya pelan namun tajam, “kita bisa pakai uang itu buat biaya operasi Mama.”
Cloe langsung menoleh, matanya menyala seperti api kecil yang tersulut ego.
“Kamu menyalahkan kita berdua?” tanya Cloe, nadanya meninggi.
“Kuanggap iya, kalau kalian merasa,” sahut Sabrina tanpa berkedip.
Henry mendengus tajam. “Kita cuma bermaksud membantu. Beberapa kali juga investasi itu menguntungkan.”
Sabrina tertawa pelan—dan tawa itu jelas menyakitkan. “Oh, begitu? Dan sekarang ratusan juta hilang. Menurut kalian… kita harus apa?”
Diam.
Cloe membuang muka.
Henry menggeleng kecil, seperti anak kecil yang ketahuan melakukan kesalahan tapi masih mencoba membela diri dalam hati.
Sabrina mengepalkan jemarinya di atas paha.
Tak ada waktu untuk menyalahkan siapa pun.
Yang dia butuhkan sekarang adalah solusi.
“Nggak ada waktu, Pa.” Sabrina menatap ayahnya lurus-lurus. “Operasi harus dilakukan paling lambat besok.”
Keheningan lain jatuh.
Bukan hening yang penuh harapan—tapi hening orang-orang yang sedang diam karena tak punya pilihan.
Lalu…
Dering ponsel memecah udara.
Sabrina terlonjak kecil. Ia melihat layar ponsel, dan alisnya langsung berkerut.
Sebuah notif muncul.
Pengirimnya tidak memakai nomor.
Hanya satu nama.
Pasangan Hati
Sabrina meringis kecil. Biro jodoh itu—yang seminggu lalu didaftarkan oleh Amanda tanpa sepengetahuan Sabrina—kini menampakkan diri tepat di tengah kekacauan hidupnya.
Dengan tangan sedikit gemetar, ia membuka pesan itu.
Sabrina beranjak. Ia berlari cepat menaiki tangga kayu rumahnya menuju kamar. Tiga orang di ruang tamu saling pandang tanpa suara—entah merasa bersalah, atau pura-pura tidak peduli.
Setibanya di kamar, Sabrina menutup pintu dengan telapak tangan gemetar. Ponsel itu masih bergetar pelan, seolah memanggil-manggilnya untuk kembali melihat pesan yang ia buka tadi.
Kening Sabrina berkerut, alisnya saling bertautan. Perlahan ia mundur, pantatnya mendarat di tepi ranjang. Ia membuka ulang pesan itu, memastikan ia tidak salah membaca.
PASANGAN HATI – PEMBERITAHUAN RESMI

Waktu pertemuan: Minggu 24 Agustus 2025, pukul 21:00

Di bawahnya, paragraf lain tampil seperti ancaman halus:

2. Sanksi administratif dan tuntutan pidana berdasarkan perjanjian privasi dan kontrak layanan bab 4, pasal 17.
3. Pembekuan akses layanan kesehatan premium yang telah diberikan selama masa keanggotaan awal.”
Sabrina membaca kalimat itu tiga kali. Dan tetap saja, jantungnya serasa berhenti.
45.000 USD?
Dia bahkan tidak pernah memegang uang sebanyak itu dalam hidupnya.
Dan ini semua ulah Amanda.
"Astaga! Aturan gila dari mana ini!" decaknya frustrasi, suara pecah oleh kemarahan yang menumpuk sejak pagi.
Dia menggigit bibir, lalu merengek sambil menjatuhkan diri di ranjang. Kedua kakinya menendang-nendang tak karuan seperti balita minta gendong, rambutnya berantakan di atas bantal.
"Amanda… apa yang sudah kamu lakukan padaku?" geramnya lirih, giginya mengerat kuat sampai rahangnya sakit.
Zirah's POV Right into his neck. Damon staggered away from me with a stunned look on his face while his hand slowly went up to the clutch at the side of his neck. He brought his blood-stained hand to his face with a shocked look on his face like he still couldn't believe what happened. "Why?" He asked, still with an air of confusion around him. And I broke down. "You left me no choice!" I sobbed out loud, thinking back to when I decided to do this. When I saw them fighting and he threw Noah into the wall, crashing into the metal tray and dislodging his items, instinctively I So I played him. The weak demeanor, the submissive woman, the arousal that shivered through my body as he ran his hands over my body…...was all fake. I had to swallow down my revulsion the moment he touched me, knowing I had to sell my submission enough or he wouldn't believe me. He opened his mouth to speak but instead gargled on his blood and his knees went weak and he crumpled to the floor. I careful
Zirah's POV I sat there frozen…..helpless.While I watched my former lover circle my mate like a predator looking for his next meal."Damon...no! Please... I- uh," I babbled incoherently, forcing words out of my mouth in a silly attempt to stop him from ramming the knife into a fragile spot on his body that could claim his life.He stopped behind Noah when my pitiful cries reached him and for a moment I thought that maybe he had changed his mind.However, he lunged forward pressing the thin part of the blade exactly into the jugular spot at his neck pressing firmly with those cold eyes trained on mine."You know what I need from you." He ground out harshly, his deep tone barely making his words distinguishable but I managed to catch it."Damon, I-" I had no idea what I was about to say but for some crazy reason I just had to open my mouth.His odd eyes hardened and the brief flicker of hope I'd seen bloom in his eyes died out and he turned his attention back to his semi-conscious pat
Zirah's POV Ice-cold water was splashed on my body, jerking me awake abruptly pulling me from the reins of unconsciousness.I flung my head, my eyelids fluttering as I sought to get my bearings.Everything was spinning, and my eyes felt like they were glued shut for the longest time.My body also felt heavy... probably 'cos I haven't used it for a while.I raised my head slowly and I realized two things.One, I couldn't move….at all.That jarred my senses and I awoke fully to see that my legs and hands were restrained with thick metal straps laced with chains, proving it impossible to get out of.Even if I could break through the leather straps, the chains had the distinct yet faint smell of silver which would be tough if not impossible to get out of.Secondly, I was in an underground dungeon that stank like the devil's behind.How I got here seemed to get away from here, but why was it a different case?I was here because I refused to give in.I think back to what happened after Dam
Noah's POV It soon became obvious what their ace was….or rather, who.It soon became obvious when Damon separated himself from his pack, that was what I had taken to calling considering how they fluttered around him.When the two of us caught the other's gaze, it held for the longest and the tension, the need for bloodshed was calling out to us.Riding us both hard.He was standing now unobstructed, without his men underfoot, his white shirt flapping around him as the wind blew up a notch.His dark pants and heavy boots looked worse for wear, but that wasn't what drew my attention.It was the unnaturally still way he held himself, it was like his body was encased in eyes but from here I could see his eyes were sharp, picking up on every movement.It felt like no one else existed but the two of us, even though I could hear distant sounds of roars and men fighting.Everything that happened was building up to this point."You need to go," I said quietly to Zirah who was still behind my
Noah's POV We were winning.Or so it seemed.No, I know we were winning. It started as a tough battle at first especially when they got the upper hand by taking us by surprise- I still wondered how they might have known where we were and we fought to regain our defense since they were attacking mercil
Damon's POV All five of us were surrounding the table. Me, Skylar, Amanda, and two other werewolves one from my side and hers each named Frank and Erik when someone rudely barged in without knocking. We were currently in a private meeting, as we were thinking through our next moves and I had left ex
Zirah's POV Traveling en masse with such a large crowd while trying to move stealthily proved to be a big deal for us.Also for different packs who are just getting acquainted with each other for the first time, being enclosed in a small space wasn't the ideal choice and soon enough after a couple of
Noah's POV Immediately, I started to take extra security measures on the count of my mate that insisted on tagging along, trying to push me into an early grave. I had been meeting with my friends all morning, going over the travel arrangements and also handing over temporary reins to my trusted enfo
