LOGINElla has always known her place; at the very bottom. As an omega, she’s learned to stay invisible, to endure the taunts and cruelty, especially from the notorious Blackthorn twins, Lucian and Kade. Golden, ruthless, and heirs to the Blackthorn pack, the alpha twins have made tormenting Ella their favorite pastime. To them, she’s nothing more than a reminder of weakness. Until fate plays its cruelest trick. When the unmistakable scent of the mate bond connects the three of them, their delicately ordered world shatters. The twins would rather reject fate than claim a weak omega, and Ella refuses to be bound to the monsters who made her life hell.

BAB 1
"Mas, apa-apaan ini?" tanyaku pada Mas Bima yang masih berada diatas ranjang. Aku yang tengah memegang lembaran kertas di tangan, melemparnya begitu saja ke arah wajah laki-laki yang masih terlelap itu.
"Apa-apaan sih kamu ini! Masih ngantuk aku! Ganggu aja!" Laki-laki yang setahun ini membersamaiku itu hanya membuang lembaran kertas yang menutup wajahnya. Laki-laki itu tidak bangun, justru kembali meringkuk. Aku hanya bisa tertawa tidak percaya.
"Mas bangun!" Aku menarik lengan laki-laki itu lantas membuatnya dengan terpaksa membuka mata.
"Apa-apaan sih? Masih ngantuk ini! Bisa nggak sih nggak usah teriak-teriak! Malu tahu nggak didengerin sama tetangga?!"
Gubrak
Pintu kamar yang semula tertutup rapat kini dibuka dengan cukup kasar. Membuat aku dan juga Mas Bima menoleh ke arahnya.
"Apa-apaan sih kamu Melati? Berisik tahu nggak? Pagi-pagi sudah bikin keributan! Ajari istrimu itu dengan benar, Bima!" sungut Ibu mertuaku. Matanya melotot yang seakan ingin keluar dari tempatnya. Tangannya juga dilipat di depan dada. Menatap ke arahku dengan tatapan tidak suka.
"Mau ngomong apa sih?!" Kini Mas Bima bertanya. Membuatku teringat akan suatu yang membuatku marah.
Perkenalkan namaku Rima Melati, menikah dengan seorang laki-laki bernama Bima Santosa. Dulu dia begitu baik dan perhatian. Pernikahan kami berjalan sempurna pada bulan pertama dan kedua. Hingga tiba di bulan ke tiga tabiat aslinya keluar. Dia suami yang tidak peka terhadap istri. Tanpa sepengetahuanku, dia memberi sebagian besar gajinya untuk Ibu dan juga adiknya. Sebenarnya tidak masalah bagiku, tapi jika semuanya dibicarakan akan jauh lebih baik bukan.
Bulan ketiga itu juga adik iparku dan juga Ibu mertuaku diboyong oleh Mas Bima untuk tinggal di rumah ini. Laki-laki yang aku anggap baik dan juga pengertian itu tidak lebih dari laki-laki tidak tahu diri. Aku yang selama ini bekerja di salah satu pabrik ternama, begitu bodohnya membiayai adiknya kuliah dan juga mencukupi kebutuhan rumah tangga.
Entah aku yang terlalu baik atau keluarga suamiku lah yang pintar memanfaatkan aku. Akan tetapi, kali ini amarahku sudah melampaui batas. Lembaran-lembaran itu adalah struk pembelian beberapa pakaian mahal dan juga beberapa makanan yang harganya tidaklah sedikit.
"Itu semua apa, Mas? Kamu beli pakaian mahal dan juga membeli makanan dengan harga fantastis? Padahal selama ini aku meminta kamu membantu dalam urusan keuangan rumah tangga kita kamu selalu menolak. Dengan beralasan untuk usaha lah, untuk modal lah. Tapi mana? Mana usaha yang kamu bilang itu?! Bukankah hanya bualanmu saja!"
" Kamu ini bicara apa sih, Melati? Aku nggak ngerti!" Mas Bima berubah menjadi bingung. Entah apakah itu memang bingung atau memang sengaja dibuat-buat. Agar aku terkecoh. Akan tetapi tidak untuk kali ini.
"Astaga, Bima. Istrimu ini benar-benar tidak tahu sopan santun ya! Tidak tahu tata Krama! Dia itu nggak sadar apa, tanpa ada kita disini dia itu bukan siapa-siapa. Seharusnya dia itu bersyukur sudah diperistri kamu, seorang anak pengusaha sukses yang terkenal dimana-mana. Siapa yang tidak tahu Ali Santosa."
"Hahahaha …." Aku tertawa terbahak-bahak.
"Kalian pikir kalian itu siapa?"
"Heh, Melati. Kami ini keluarga Santosa ya. Keluarga terpandang. Kamu itu beruntung sudah menjadi bagian dari keluarga ini." Lagi-lagi Ibu kembali berucap.
"Tidak salah?" tanyaku meremehkan.
"Inget ya, Melati. Kamu ini cuma seorang anak yatim piatu, jadi jangan belagu kamu. Dasar ker*!" Ibu mertuaku berkacak pinggang. Membuatku menoleh ke arahnya. Semula aku hanya ingin menanyakan perihal lembaran kertas itu. Akan tetapi wanita tua itu benar-benar membuatku tidak lagi bisa menahan amarah.
"Mas, mulai hari ini detik ini juga kamu dan keluarga kamu angkat kaki dari rumahku! Sekarang!"
Duar
Bak disambar petir di siang hari. Mertuaku terkejut bukan kepalang mendengar ucapanku. Jika selama setahun ini jika ada permasalahan aku lebih suka mengalah tapi tidak untuk saat ini! Aku tidak akan membiarkan orang-orang tidak tahu diri itu menang!
Apalagi Mas Bima, mata yang sedari tadi tidak bisa dibuka kini melotot hendak keluar dari tempatnya.

ELLAI arched an eyebrow and stopped myself from blurting the reply that was making its way to my lips as he continued talking. “No one was ready to explain what they thought was happening, no one wanted to sit with their emotions and be actual people. I… I don’t know how to explain it,” he stammered, and I gave him a knowing smile as a familiar feeling engulfed me.“You don’t have to explain it, I understand,” I muttered, and he scoffed.“No, you don’t,” he countered. I started to say something, but he continued speaking, ignoring my attempt to respond. “I couldn’t believe my eyes when they swung into action immediately, expressing concern about other members of the pack not finding out about it, deliberating on the best way to contain the situation while they looked for a solution. It felt like they were soulless beings who were solely focused on governance alone.”“Well, you can’t fault them if they have to look after the collective. They were probably going through shock themselve
ELLA“It’ll send shivers down the spine of the members of the council and everyone who looks up to both of you,” I added after a minute of silence.I could tell that he was thinking about what I had said, and I realized that until this point, I hadn’t given it much thought either. With everything I know now, you’d think I’d have learned to see things beyond surface level, but I was starting to realize that I needed to make conscious effort to read between the lines.Maybe Ava was right, maybe this is all there is to my existence; the consistent cycle of having the Blackthorns in my face and their evergreen interference in my life.It sucked to think about it like that, and I still held on to the tiny hope I had in the life I wanted to build for myself when this was all over, but right now, I was slowly making peace with my reality.This wasn’t a conversation I intended to have with anyone, much less him, but it felt nice to admit the truth to myself.I felt like I was looking into my
EllaThis conversation with Lucian was draining me of any energy I thought I had mustered up over the time we sat here, but nothing could’ve prepared me to hear about what happened to Kade.I hated their guts; Lucian’s explanation of his behaviour towards me made things even worse, and there was a deep‑seated discontent with his presence here. But it wasn’t enough to make me gloat over Kade being unconscious.I had spent so much time contemplating whether undoing the bond was good for me, and I hadn’t given much thought to how it might affect them.I’d be lying if I said I did not feel terrible about the choice, though. It was one thing to consider my options and pick what was best for me; it was another to feel empathy toward someone in a dire position.I felt sorry for Kade, but I would still choose to start this process with Claire no matter the outcome. Lucian’s opinion about the way they treated me had only solidified that decision.They were assholes, and if the tables were turn
LUCIAN“Congratulations,” I said in a sarcastic tone. Midway through her response, I realized this conversation should never have happened.I had let my emotions get the better of me and started a fire that wasn’t going out anytime soon.“Thank you, but I’m not done,” she replied, leaning back as she continued. “The entire time I spent getting away from all of you, I kept wondering if I was making the wrong decision. There was a part of me that held onto a piece of that place. But now that you’re here, you’ve made it easier for me to let go.”Her words made my heart skip a beat and filled me with a sadness I never thought I’d feel about her. But I held my tongue. The last thing I wanted was to give her the impression that her words had gotten to me.“It makes absolutely no sense to tell me you came all this way because I was on your mind,” she went on, “and in the same breath, say that the unfair treatment you gave me the entire time I lived with you was your way of toughening me up f
