View MoreEvery girl dreams of their high-school prom and I was no exception. My friends are I were getting ready to go dress shopping but my parents were just not understanding how important this was to me! They believe I should refrain from doing anything that could affect my imagine and cause any negative attention to our family name. Apparently, being the beta’s daughter puts a leash on you having fun. Of course, I take every opportunity to enjoy my life and live MY life to its fullest. My mom said I remind her of who she was before she found her mate and tends to give me some leeway but dad is a huge stickler for the rules. My mom, Sarah, is 5’ 6” tall with a toned frame and light brown hair that is chest length. She is a warrior in our pack and has tought me to fight since I was 5. My dad, Ben, is 6’ 7” football build body that could bench a car. Tattoos covered him from head to toe with slick black hair. He has never gone easy on me and was upset I was not a boy, but that did not stop him from raising me as such. I competed in all the boy competitions but I have yet to get the best from him. He thinks I am just as good and should get the beta position when he retires if I can shape up and not cause him more headaches. I started laughing thinking about all the lectures he has giving me over the years. “What mate will want a girl who parties and is fast and loose with the rules, let alone an Alpha who would want you as a beta!” I laughed because I grew up with the future alpha, Damian.
He is my best friend and occasionally we have kissed but I am keeping my virginity for my mate. Damian is 6’ 8” of solid muscle, short black hair, a tribal tattoo from his chest to his shoulder around his neck and arm and across this back. He is a walking sex on a stick with piercing bright blue eyes. His temper does match his bad boy look but has always had a sweet spot for me. I know I have always caught his eye. Being 5’ 7” slender and toned body with waist dark wavy hair and emerald green eyes, I tend to catch a few guys eyes. However I think most of them think they will get the position of beta so I tend to ignore them.
“Hurry up Nina!” shouts my best friend Holly. She is beautiful with her creamy mocha skin, shoulder length black hair. She might only be 5’ 5” but her attitude is that of an 8-foot-tall person. I jump off my vanity and ran to the front door before she starts to climb the stairs. I kept her waiting once and she almost broke my door down!
“I am coming! I had to finish my makeup” I said slightly out of breath
“Zach, Damian and Trevor are in the car waiting for us.” Zach is another warrior’s son. He is 6’ 6” with pale skin complexion, hazel eyes and shoulder length blonde hair. He is cute in his own way but has softer expression to him. He has always had eyes for Holly, not that she pays attention. Being the gamma’s daughter, she has also gotten the lectures I have gotten. Trevor is her brother and Damian’s right had man since they were only born few days apart. He is 6’ 6” darker complected than Holly with jet black hair and the same matching dark brown eyes with a gold flake in them that Holly has. Apparently, it is a family trait of theirs.
“Bye mom and dad!”
“Bye honey, remember to behave and mind-link me if you have any troubles! Do not get into a fight this time!” Dad yelled from the kitchen. It was one time and I won the fight, not my fault a guy couldn’t understand no. Dad is not too worried this time since I promised the boys were going along this time and could “protect us”. Like it need a guy to protect me. I just rolled my eyes and walked out the door with my arm on Holly’s shoulders.
“Hurry up girls! I don’t have all day” yelled Trevor.
“Oh shut up Trevor, you got nothing but time today” Holly mouthed off sliding into the back seat of Damian’s Cadillac Escalade. I of course hopped right into the front seat next to Damian. Some people thought I was Damian’s mate, we didn’t believe we were but we weren’t against it either. I was treated at such though and never minded.
“I should be able to sit up front, my legs are a lot longer than yours Nina, and if we needed to get out quickly and fight, I would need better access than the 3rd row.” Grumbled Zach
“Oh really, do you want another rematch Zach?” I arched my eye brow at him. Last time he questioned me, I laid him out more times than he can count but he still said he “let me win”.
Everyone laughed out loud except Damian who just cocked an eye brow at Zach. Zach was a great warrior but when you have beta blood running through your veins and been trained since you were 5, not a lot of people can compare.
“I am just trying to be a gentleman here Nina, I would like to treat you as the princess you are” Zach joked with me. He just earned a snort and an eye roll from me and a chest growl from Damian.
“Anyway” Holly smirked “What kind of dress are you wanting to get today?”
“Hmm” I mused, “Maybe a skin tight one that stopped right below my ass with a deep V-neck line that is sheer”
“The fuck you are!” growled Damian.
I busted out laughing, “I am just joking, jeez, I don’t really know. I want a floor length one though!”
“Well I want a short one that will make my legs look longer and that will hug my curves”
“Holls, mom and dad will kill you, you know that right?” asked Trevor as he rubbed his hand down his face. “You will be what gets me killed” he whispered but with our wolf hearing, we all heard him.
“I am their princess, they won't! Plus, if I find my mate, they can’t say anything!” Holly said with a determined look in her eyes. I knew that look, there was no changing her mind. Our “prom” was a prom per say. It did start out as a traditional prom but over the years, all the 18 year-olds that were unmated crashed other packs “prom” night in hopes to find their mate, or get a quick lay if not. My birthday was the day before prom, one week away and I was so excited. I will finally get to see if Damian is my mate or not. I get weird feeling in my stomach every time I think about this. What if he isn’t my mate and he finds another girl. Would I be okay with that? Deep down I have always liked him being protective of me but he did it in a way that I was still able to smack a guy around and he would be there watching making sure I didn’t get hurt in the process.
Setelah terlibat dalam obrolan sendu, mereka sepakat untuk bergerak dari topik biru itu ditandai dengan Lina yang menuangkan anggur kedua kalinya pada gelas kristal dan bertos-ria. Suara dentingan khas dari gelas berkilau itu seakan terdengar bak lonceng aba-aba di telinga Hera."Tante..." Hera menaruh gelas yang isinya tinggal separuh di atas meja. "Kudengar selain anggota partai, Pak Galih juga berbisnis. Bagaimana? Cukup menghasilkan?""Ya. Kami punya beberapa properti dan real estat. Lumayan untuk tabungan pendidikan anak-anak dan hari tua." Lina terus menyesap hingga anggur di gelasnya tandas. "Ah. Kau beruntung menikah dengan pewaris Lakeswara, Hera. Tidak ada yang perlu kau khawatirkan lagi."Hera tertawa miris dalam hati. Mungkin dirinya memang cukup beruntung sampai harus duduk di depan Lina dan mencari celah untuk menyusupkan kebenaran. Ditambah semuanya harus tampak alami jika tak ingin disalahpahami sebagai pengadu yang suka ikut campur urusan orang lain."Bagaimana bisnis
Resah. Gelisah. Lelah. Sejujurnya, Hera gugup sekali melalui ini semua. Tidak mungkin tidak terlintas pikiran untuk menyudahi dan menyerah barang setitik saja, tapi hidupnya rumit dari yang terlihat di permukaan. Pernikahan ini menautkan dua keluarga yang perlu di jaga nama baik dan kepercayaannya.Hera hampir berniat menikam Darel dengan sederet fakta yang ia jaga selama ini, bahwa suami terkasihnya mempermainkan janji suci pernikahan mereka. Hera terlampau berdamai dengan kenyataan telah sampai mati rasa secara menyedihkan, ia setengah masa bodoh dan selebihnya adalah perasaan cinta yang besar."Hei, apa ada yang sakit?" Darel meremas bahu Hera kemudian menginspeksi sang istri dari atas ke bawah. "Kenapa menangis?" Ibu jarinya bergerak lembut menghapus jejak air mata yang terjun dari pelupuk mata istrinya.Hera menegang lantaran tak menduga bahwa dirinya menjadi emosional semudah itu. Masih menolak untuk membiarkan Darel mengetahui bahwa Hera memelihara kewaspadaan dan membendung k
Setiap misi menjauhkan wanita-wanita pengganggu dari Darel selama ini, Hera banyak dicekoki pikiran licik oleh Abigail. Sang model jelas menolak melakukan sesuatu yang berlawanan dengan citra dirinya yang tenang dan bersahaja. Jadi ia hanya bicara dengan wanita-wanita itu tanpa berniat buruk.Namun kali ini, Hera memutuskan menjalankan semua rencana di kepalanya sendirian tanpa melibatkan siapapun di luar dirinya. Rencana rahasia Hera itu sudah di mulai sejak ia memberi tugas palsu pada Abigail untuk membuat manajernya itu sibuk.["Istri sah Pak Galih adalah wanita old money, kau tahu? Kesuksesan pak Galih sekarang berkat campur tangan mertuanya. Dengan kata lain, dia tidak bisa apa-apa tanpa istrinya."]"Hanya itu yang kau tahu? Apa kau tahu apa jadwal istrinya kemarin, hari ini dan besok?" Hera berbicara sembari mengatur pernapasan. "Jujur saja, Gail. Kau tidak bisa membantuku kali ini menggantikan tugas Ayuna. Jangan memaksakan diri." Bulu mata lentik Hera mengerling ke arah panel
Hera sungguh muak dengan wanita bernama Feronika Denise itu. Baru saja semalam Hera menegaskan dengan keras untuk menjauhi suaminya, tapi pagi-pagi sekali—menurut Hera—telah menerima telpon dari Ayuna.["Maaf, Madam, telah menganggumu. Apa kau tidak mencapai kesepakatan dengan Feronika Denise? Dia mengunjungi Tuan Darel di kantor. Aku sudah mengirimkan fotonya, bisa kau lihat?"]Sang model yang masih mengenakan gaun tidur kini terduduk di bibir ranjang besarnya. Penutup mata bermotif karakter beruang madu yang sedang ia pakai diturunkan hingga leher dengan sedikit merenggut."Sebentar." Kemudian menjauhkan layar ponselnya untuk memeriksa ruang obrolan dengan Ayuna. Terpampanglah foto Feronika Denise yang sedang duduk di atas paha Darel. Dari tata ruangnya, jelas itu adalah kantor Darel bekerja. Ini masih pukul sembilan pagi ketika melirik jam di atas nakas. Itu artinya Darel berangkat satu jam lalu. Hera ingat karena ia terbangun sebentar untuk sekedar memeluk dan mencium Darel sebel
"Ayuna."Gadis itu memutar kepalanya pada sumber suara, praktis menemukan figur atraktif milik istri atasannya yang tengah tersenyum dan melambai singkat. Rambut coklat yang tergerai bergerak lembut saat sang model melenggok seakan jalan yang dilewati adalah catwalk-nya. Hera Andromeda, sosok yang
Saat Darel melamar Hera padahal mereka baru pertama kali bertemu, sang model tidak langsung menanggapi. Ia mengulur hingga satu bulan dan berharap Darel melupakannya. Hera ingat betul akan kegigihan Abigail meyakinkannya untuk menerima Darel. Selain soal kekayaan dan ketampanan, Abigail mengatakan
"Madam, suamimu selingkuh..."Suara perempuan berdenging di telinga Hera. Ia tahu, itu bukan sesuatu yang berasal dari mimpi buruk. Suaminya selingkuh sementara ia tak mengizinkan diri sendiri untuk bersedih. Hari ini Hera memiliki agenda untuk makan siang di kafe sebuah hotel, lebih tepatnya ia b
