LOGINSam thought he had lost everything the night his engagement fell apart. Betrayed, broken, and tethered to a bond he doesn’t understand, he wakes in the care of the one person he hates most: Lucifer, the rival Alpha who has haunted his life since childhood. Lucifer saved him once, but now survival comes at a price. Bound as his mate, Sam is trapped between life and death, between desire and resentment, forced to rely on the Alpha he swore he’d never trust. As their connection deepens, so does the danger. Every step outside, every attempt to defy the bond, could kill him. And yet, the more Lucifer’s control fades into something warmer, something dangerously intimate, the more Sam realizes that the bond may not just be his lifeline—it might be his undoing. In a world of rivalries, secrets, and forbidden connections, will Sam survive, or will the Alpha who holds his life in his hands claim his heart as well?
View More“Buk, buk...,” Ayah berusaha menyadarkan ibu dengan menepuk pelan pipi kirinya yang gembul. Jika ibu sudah sadar, Ayah pasti kena omelan maut dari ibu karena sudah menyentuh dempul mahalnya. “Bangun, buk.”
“Pak...,” suara lirih ibu dengan mata yang masih terpejam. Genggaman tangan Ayah semakin erat kala ibu terisak pilu, “piye Iki anakmu, Pak? (Bagaimana anak kamu ini, Pak?)” “Wes, Buk (Sudah, Buk),” Ayah mencoba menenangkan ibu yang masih terkulai di sofa. Beberapa orang yang rewang di rumah membuatkan teh hangat dan menggosokkan minyak kayu putih di dada ibu. Iya, ibu syok saat tahu calon suamiku tiba-tiba menghilang bak ditelan bumi di hari H pernikahanku. “Piye kuadene iki (Bagaimana resepsinya ini)?” Ibu masih meratapi kegagalanku menikah. “Enggak sanggup aku mikir semuanya, Pak,” “Enggak usah dipikir. Ibu yang tenang,” ucap Ayah mencoba menenangkan kepanikan ibu. Bagaimanapun, tidak ada orangtua manapun yang tidak sedih jika anaknya gagal menikah tepat di hari bahagianya, dan orang itu adalah aku. Aku, Ririn Haryani yang harus gagal menikah karena calon pengantin pria tiba-tiba saja tidak datang dan menghilang bak ditelan bumi bulat-bulat. “Biar Rin yang bayar, Buk,” sambarku yang merasa risih mendengar ibu menggerutu biaya pernikahanku terbuang cuma-cuma. “Ora isok (Enggak bisa)!” “Eh, kamu tahu berapa juta ibu sewa kuade sama teropnya? Tabungan kamu berapa sampe mau bayarin semua?” kelakar Ibu kesal padaku, dia memijat pelipisnya kasar dan menatapku dengan tajam. “Makanya, ibu sudah bilang. Jangan pacaran sama dia. Dia itu blangsat,” cercah Ibu yang mulai mengungkit ketidaksukaannya pada Riko, mantan calon pengantinku itu. “Mana Rin tau kalo jadi gini, Bu? Rin kan mikirnya cinta,” belaku yang tak percaya aku masih membelanya sampai begini, padahal dia sedang menyakiti dan mempermalukanku. Apa sih yang aku pikirin ini? "Makanya kalo dibilangin itu, didengar, diturut toh Rin," Ibu terisak lagi dipelukan Ayah. Alhasil, para orang yang ada di dalam maupun di luar rumah berkumpul melihat kami bertiga. "Ibu nyewa semuanya itu seng apik-apik (yang bagus-bagus)." "Rin masih bisa bayar itu semua, Buk," kataku yang mencoba mempertahankan harga diriku dari amarah dan sedih bercampur aduk. Betapa teganya Riko kepadaku sampai segininya? Aku pikir, beberapa hari sebelum hari H pernikahan kami, dia baik-baik saja, tidak ada gelagat aneh yang mengarah menghilang tak bertanggungjawab begini. "Huuuu..." Aku menghela napas, mengeluarkan udara dalam rongga dadaku yang rasanya nyesak seperti ini. Emang Riko cowok gila, bukan tapi stres dia. Aku berkorban banyak demi dia, tapi nyata seperti ini. Aku harus menahan sesak karena kebaya putih akadku ini biar kelihatan jadi wanita paling cantik berbahagia hari ini. Nyatanya apa? Zonk. "Pokoknya mulai besok, ibu enggak mau keluar rumah," ancam Ibu "Enggak bisa gitu dong, Buk, sungutku mendengar ancaman ibu yang enggak masuk akal buatku. "Terus siapa yang masak nanti?" "Ya kamulah," jawab ibu seneweng. Ayah hanya diam saja mendengar pertengkaranku dengan Ibu, mungkin sudah lelah menghadapi dua wanita yang sama keras kepalanya seperti kami berdua ini. "Sudah, Ibu yang tenang dulu," kata Ayah mencoba menengahi kami akhirnya. "Kita pikirkan lagi gimana ini nanti, Buk." "Gimana ini nanti? Ya batal nikah, Pak," cicit Ibu melirikku pedas. Aku kembali menghela napas lelah dengan masalah ini, rasanya tubuhku sudah tak ada energi lagi untuk hidup. "Sudah dong, Buk. Rin aslinya juga bingung," keluhku terus terang akhirnya, ini bukan masalah mau nangis batalnya pernikahanku tapi pusingnya menghadapi omelan ibu yang pedas banget buat didengar ini. "Makanya, kalo cari calon suami itu yang bener, diliat pake mata itu," omel ibu sambil menunjuk matanya sendiri dengan berapi-api. "Calon suami item (hitam) kayak arang blangsat gitu kok mau. Dikasih pelet apa sih emang kamu sama dia?" sembur ibu lagi lebih ganas. "Apa sih, Buk?" "Apa sih, buk. apasih, buk aja mulu," cibir Ibu padaku. "Cari calon suami itu yang bia memperbaiki keturunan hidung pesekmu itu. Cari yang putih ganteng, status jelas," lanjutnya lagi yang membuatku mencebik kesal mendengar omelan ibu yang tidak ada habisnya. Aku yakin, Ibu pasti akan mengungkit masalah ini beberapa tahun ke depan kalau lagi-lagi aku buat kesalahan yang sama kayak sekarang ini. "Ya mana Rin tau kalo dia bakal kayak gini, Buk," sanggahku cemberut, "lagian waktu pacaran kita baik-baik saja dan dia enggak ada tanda-tanda blangsat," "Halah," "Buk, seng tenang. Ingat tensimu, Buk " Ayah mencoba menengahi lagi keributan yang dimulai ibu. "Kamu..." "Mbak," Ilham berdiri di depanku dengan napas ngos-ngosan, beberapa peluh menetes dari anak rambut kepalanya, meluncur halus melewati wajahnya. "Waduh, gawat." "Gawat kenapa?" "Calon suamimu emang minggat (pergi/kabur)," katanya setelah mengatur napasnya teratur. "Lo udah bener ngecek rumahnya?" "Ya elah, siapa yang ngirim alamat rumahnya tadi di WA? Dedemit? Kuntilanak?" katanya tak percaya dengan apa yang aku pertanyakan. Apa semua orang tidak tahu jika aku mencoba denial untuk masalah ini. Bukan hanya ibu, aku juga sebenarnya tak sanggup menghadap omongan tetangga karena aku batal nikah. "Beneran rumahnya sepi, enggak ada tanda-tanda ada acara gawean sama sekali," setiap kata yang meluncur dari mulut Ilham meluruhkan keteguhan hatiku sedari tadi. Pada akhirnya aku ikut tumbang, aku menangisi nasibku yang batal nikah. "Aduh, jangan nangis!" Ilham langsung merengkuhku untuk duduk di kursi plastik terop, menyandarkan kepala pada perut ratanya. Lemas dan bingung. Hanya itu yang aku rasakan. "Sekarang tenang," kata Ayah melihatku dan Ibu yang terdiam. "Kita pikirkan pelan-pelan dengan kepala tenang," katanya lagi. Ilham hanya diam sambil menepuk pelan kepalaku dengan lembut, menenangkan tapi tidak mengurangi rasa sedihku bercampur aduk. Apa ini sudah berakhir? Apa begini nasibku? Aku jadi perawan tua sekarang? Gimana aku?Lucifer’s POVSam’s words were still burning through me. “I want you. Please let me have you.”I had been with others before. Many. Bodies, touches, sweat, the grind of need, I knew all of it. But never like this. Never with someone whose broken voice made my chest ache, never with someone I wanted to both protect and consume at the same time.And fuck, the way he looked at me, eyes wet, lips trembling, I swore I’d burn the world to ash if it meant he never cried again.I led him to the bed, my hand firm on his wrist, careful not to press too hard where he’d cut himself . I'd healed it but it was still not perfect. His skin was still warm, fragile under my touch, and I wanted to cradle it, kiss it, own it. He sat down first, his breath uneven, and I caged him in by standing between his legs.“You’re sure?” I asked, my voice low, already rough with the weight of my need.“Yes.” His whisper carried no hesitation this time. “I need you.”That was all I needed.I bent down, pressing my li
Sam’s POV“So when you said everyone knew you claimed me, it included our parents? And packs?” I asked in a freaked-out voice.Lucifer looked terribly calm, as though his father was not here at the entrance of the mansion, threatening to bring the walls down.“What do you think everyone means, baby?” he asked with a smirk, his morning shower still obvious from his wet hair falling in damp strands around his shoulders.He had the audacity to smirk? And at a time like this?Was he amused? I remembered the reasons I hated this bastard now.“You told them?” I asked, my eyes stinging. I hated that I was acting like a fucking bitch, but I couldn’t help it. Omega hormones were everywhere, and I was panicking so badly my hands trembled. Lucifer reached out and held them, his touch firm and hot against my skin.“Not intentionally, I’m sorry. Please don’t cry—don’t fucking shed a tear.” He tilted my chin up, forcing my eyes to his.I whimpered but tried not to shed a tear. “I can’t help it.”“T
Lucifer's POV Sam was lying close to me on the bed, he had wriggled out of my arms when I held him close. I guess it was just part of the things he couldn't accept… yet.“Baby?” I called him softly. He tussled on the bed but didn’t answer. I sighed out. I knew he fucking wasn’t asleep.“Sam.” I dragged the word out of my mouth.“I’m almost asleep.” He said, but his voice was too clear for someone who was almost asleep.“You can’t sleep?” I asked.That wasn’t good. The main reason I had even called him was to tell him that everyone knew about us. If he was already having a hard time sleeping, then it would only make him worse.“I just… everything is hard to process.” Sam said, and I reached for him, turning him to face me. His green eyes met my dark ones, and I brushed his hair away from his face.“What’s the problem, baby?”“Isn’t it weird, how I suddenly became an omega? I’m the Alpha’s son. Alpha in the making, just like you are, and suddenly…”“It’s because of the rejection.” I sa
Lucifer’s POVSo somehow, the meeting had managed to draw out every single atom of good mood I had leaving Sam at home.From talks about politics that honestly I couldn't care about, to the incident at Sam's proposal… that was where things were beginning to taste sour.My dad had called me outrageous for stepping in and told me to send him out if he was at my mansion, calling him weak and a liability.Yes, sure as fuck, I was pissed and blurted out that Sam and I were mates.I wanted to rub it in their fucking faces, but I guessed I took it too far. Honestly, I didn't care about my reputation, but Sam was still sensitive about everything and I ruined it all for him.Add it to my archives of fucking pissed and bad moods.But another good thing was how the hall suddenly became quiet and even my father, the almighty Alpha, had nothing to say for the first time. Well, I wasn't really going to waste any more patience on them. I needed it to stop myself from literally turning Sam over and s
Sam’s POVI couldn’t speak as I stared into space… I wanted it. I wanted it so bad.“We won’t fuck, I promise, even though you need it to recover fully. But I’ll have to let you know you’re not as bad as you think.”“Okay,” I said.“You’ll let me, baby?”“Yes, but don’t call me that.” I chuckled, a
Sam's POVTwo weeks had passed since I was left in this mansion, too weak to step out and too afraid for my life to even dare it. Lucifer, I thought, was going to be hard, indifferent or even worse, yet he treated me with so much care it made me wonder.It made my first thought of never depending o
Sam's POV I woke to the faint sound of my own breathing. Or maybe it was someone else’s. My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing I realized was that I couldn’t remember where I was. The ceiling above me was unfamiliar, painted a pale gray that I couldn’t place. The bed beneath me was too soft,
We had managed to Resuscitate him.I stayed by Sam’s bed long after the others had gone. His breathing was shallow, each rise of his chest barely there, like the air itself was refusing to fill his lungs.“Why is he still like this?” I muttered, fingers curling against my knees. “It’s been hours si
