Tonight, one of the coldest nights of the year and the night of the blood moon, July 27th this will be one of the longest lunar eclipses. It is foretold that every wolf on this night will find their mate within the week. Alpha Dominic Thunders looks up at the sky and lets out a long sigh “Yeah like there is a chance in hell I will find her.” He says his thoughts aloud, his beta and best friend Chris puts a hand on Dominic’s shoulder “don’t worry bro, I am sure this year you will find her.”
Dominic’s P.O.V
I look at my best friend and smile, it's easy for him to say that I will find my mate. Three years ago, on the last blood moon he found his mate Sammy while we were visiting a neighbouring pack to help them deal with a rogue problem. Don’t get me wrong I am happy for my best friend, but I wish I too had someone to hold and call my own, a twenty-four-year-old werewolf Alpha male who is unmated with growing responsibilities, this should not be the case, most Alpha or male wolves in general find their mates as soon as their first shift is complete, my first shift was when I was seventeen; since then I have been without a mate, yeah, occasional hook-up’s and some relationships that never lasted two months, but that was now the least of my concerns.
Two weeks ago my father told me he was stepping down from his position as Alpha of our pack to spend more time with my mother, since then I have been preparing to take over the empire, our pack spans across the whole of KZN North. It takes up most of my time to run the notorious Red Moon pack in the Country, during my spare time I go and play cricket and I was able to take weeks off away from the pack to play as a normal “human” athletic champion for my teams. Not to boast or anything like that, but I’m a damn good sportsman. Now, it is all changing as the pack work consumes me. I have realized that my responsibilities and duties call me to tend to the pack and training of my warriors and hunters. I look up at the sky. The eclipse will start soon, my abilities will heighten, tonight is the night most of the wolves will change for the first time. This is also the moon where the moon goddess will answer our every wish and prayer. I go into my room and showered up.
I heard my phone buzz for the umpteenth time and look at the name, I curse under my breathe “stupid bimbo. I told her I will call her” she was just a good lay and I needed to calm my raging hormones and relieve some stress. The beast within my head chuckles “ Yeah, keep telling yourself that bro, you were just drunk and horny”, I yell back at him internally “ Shut up Striker” I block him out of my mind, can’t deny it though my wolf was right. Taking on the Alpha position without my mate is taking its toll on me and I needed to let off some steam. I had walked into the bar after a long day of meetings with other pack alpha’s and their daughters in the hope that I might find my mate, I was growing desperate but also tired, they all wanted my title not me. Out of nowhere, this tall; slender red head approaches me, her green eyes lined with eyeliner and her lips of dark red lipstick, she walked up to me and we had one too many drinks and the next thing I knew I was rearranging her insides in the hotel room, come to think of it, it could have been better, but she was human, if I unleashed my full strength on her I would have killed her in that hotel room. My phone rang again, I picked up, furious this time because I made it clear that we would be nothing more than that one-night stand or an occasional hook up! “Did I not make it clear to you that I would call you?” there was a slight whimper on the other side and next thing “Don’t ever call me! I told you I love you!” I pinch the bridge of my nose with my fore finger and thumb, letting out a deep sigh of relief as she cut the call. At least I won’t hear from that psycho woman again.
I slip on my denim jeans and white t-shirt, heading out to the back where everyone was gathering, waiting eagerly for the eclipse to start. The little pups were playing, and the younger adults were getting ready for their first shift, every wolf shift for the first time between sixteen to eighteen years of age. I was going to shift with them and mind link them to keep going and pushing through the pain, even for born werewolves; the pain was excruciating, but after that it was easy to shift when you wanted to, we never needed to wait for a full moon unless it was your first shift, the full moon gave you the strength to push through. I am adored by my pack and I love them and lead them with pride. There isn’t a battle we haven’t won. I have the best warriors, scouts, trackers, and guards at my side. I look up at the moon, the ring is present. The eclipse is about to start.
Waktu berlalu begitu cepat sejak kali terakhir Lara mendengar tentang proses kasusnya. Persidangan terakhir yang menghadirkan Miriam, benar-benar menjadi tolok ukur kemenangan bagi pihaknya. Seno tidak dapat berkelit lagi. Hadirnya saksi dan kuatnya bukti-bukti menjadikan alibinya patah dan segala bantahan dari pengacaranya menjadi mentah. Lara dapat bernapas lega ketika hakim akhirnya menyatakan bahwa Seno bersalah atas kasus kekerasan dan percobaan pembunuhan. Mantan suami Lara itu pun harus membusuk di penjara akibat perbuatan-perbuatannya. *** “Bagaimana?” tanya Lara ragu, setelah mematutkan diri di cermin selama beberapa waktu. Ia telah mencoba gaun itu sebelumnya, namun ketika hari yang ditunggu-tunggu telah tiba, Lara malah gugup dan tidak tahu harus berbuat apa. “Cantik banget!” seru Mahya tanpa sedikit pun keraguan. Shanon berpikir serupa. Carol juga tampak mengacungkan jempolnya. Mereka bertiga sepakat bahwa tidak ada yang salah dari penampilan mempelai hari ini yang c
“Lara?” jawab suara di seberang ponsel Lara dengan nada rendah. Lara dapat menyimpulkan bahwa suara itu adalah milik Kakak Andre, Shanon. “Kak Shanon?” tanya Lara sebelum melanjutkan pembicaraannya. Ia ingin memastikan bahwa Shanon memang wanita yang dimaksud dan bukan orang lain. Lara sedikit melupakan bagaimana suara Shanon. Belasan tahun telah berlalu, dan hari ini adalah pertama kalinya mereka kembali bertegur sapa setelah insiden salah paham tentang kecelakaan Ibu Lara. “Ya, ini aku, Ra. Shanon. Andre sedang menyetir, kami hendak kembali ke apartemen.” “Ah, baiklah. Aku akan menunggu di sini.” “Oke! Kami akan segera tiba, Ra. Tunggu, ya! Aku membawakan makanan hangat dari restoran favoritku di Jakarta ini. Semoga kamu suka, ya!” Lara mengiyakan, kemudian mengakhiri pembicaraan. Hatinya masih dipenuhi keraguan. Ia masih belum yakin, bagaimana bersilkap setelah memusuhi orang yang salah selama beberapa belas tahun. Semoga saja, Shanon adalah sosok kakak perempuan seperti yang
Langkah Miriam berlalu begitu cepat menyusuri koridor untuk sampai ke lift yang ada di barat bangunan. “Sial!” Jemari lentiknya sibuk mencari-cari kontak travel agent yang bisa dihubungi. Miriam harus segera meninggalkan negara ini. Sayang, sinyal ponselnya ternyata tidak mendukung misinya, Miriam memutuskan untuk menundanya hingga ia sampai di lobby utama. “Halo?” Miriam akhirnya dapat menghubungi kenalannya. “Siapkan aku tiket ke Washington malam ini,jam–” “Dokter Miriam Rajapatni?” Seseorang tiba-tiba memotong percakapannya di telepon. Miriam terkejut, ia menoleh dalam keadaan setengah sadar. Pikirannya berkelana ke destinasi tujuan yang hendak didatanginya malam ini. “Siapa?” tanya Miriam dengan alis terangkat. Ia merasa tak mengenal pria-pria berkaos di hadapannya. Tiga pria cepak dengan perawakan seperti atlet. Mereka tampak ngos-ngosan, seakan baru saja mengejar hantu atau penjahat yang mencoba kabur. “Saya Detektif Ragas, Anda harus ikut kami ke kantor polisi untuk membe
“Menjelaskan apa. Ndre?” tanya Shanon dengan alis terangkat. Andre hanya menghela napas berat. Ia tahu bahwa campur tangan kakaknya hanya akan memperumit situasi. “Bagaimana Kakak mengetahui semua masalah ini?” Andre masih terheran-heran. “Mengapa Kakak menipuku? Apanya yang gawat?” “Andre! Oh, Andre! Apa yang Kakak tidak tahu? Terutama setelah menikah dengan pria hebat ini? Bahkan semut berbisik pun bisa kudengar!” Shanon bersedekap sambil memandang Andre dengan tatapan aneh. Andre seharusnya tahu bahwa Shanon tidak akan membiarkan adik semata wayangnya menderita, apalagi setelah mengalami pasang-surut kehidupan yang begitu mengguncang dunia mereka. “Hhh … Kayak, sudahlah. Ini bukan hal besar. Masalahnya sudah hampir selesai. Rekaman CCTV rumah sakit ini sudah sampai di tangan jaksa,” ucap Andre sambil melirik ke arah Miriam yang tampak tercengang. “Ba–bagaimana bisa?” Mata Miriam membelalak. Ia sangat yakin bahwa rekaman CCTV itu sudah dihancurkan olehnya, atau … seseorang telah
