The Mysterious Floating Figure
Terakhir Diperbarui:
2025-05-05 18:36:40The ballroom glittered like a dream—golden chandeliers, endless marble, a string quartet playing a haunting tune.
Elaina stepped out of the town car in a deep emerald gown that clung to her curves. Her long hair had been pinned into elegant waves, a few loose tendrils brushing her collarbone. Next to her, Daisy was radiant in navy blue, eyes wide as they took in the grandeur. “Don’t faint,” Daisy whispered. “We’re just… mingling with billionaires.” Elaina managed a smile, though her nerves crackled beneath her skin. They barely made it past the main hall when a sudden hush fell over the crowd. A man entered. Tall. Broad. Dressed in a perfectly cut black suit that shimmered subtly like dark smoke. Lucien Blackthorn. He was carved from ice—his features cruelly handsome, his eyes obsidian. When those eyes scanned the room and landed on her, something in Elaina’s chest stuttered. Her breath hitched. Lucien walked straight toward her, the crowd parting instinctively. “Elaina Rivers,” he said, his voice smooth as silk, cold as frost. She blinked, surprised he knew her name. “Yes. I—thank you for the invitation.” He didn’t smile. “I hope the evening lives up to your expectations,” he said coolly, then extended a hand. “Would you dance with me?” Elaina hesitated, but placed her hand in his. His fingers were warm—too warm. The crowd melted around them as they moved to the center of the floor. A slow, sensual waltz began. Lucien’s hand on her waist was firm, the other gripping hers with quiet control. Their bodies were close. Too close. Elaina’s heart pounded. Lucien’s breath brushed her ear as he leaned in. “You shouldn’t be here, Elaina. Not yet.” She stiffened. His words weren’t a flirtation—they were a warning. A test. And yet, her body responded to the intimacy, the quiet dominance in his voice. “I—what do you mean?” she asked breathlessly. Lucien didn’t answer. His gaze searched her eyes, as if waiting for something… a flicker of recognition. A buried memory. But whatever he hoped to see—he didn’t find it. The music ended. Lucien stepped back. “Enjoy your night, doctor,” he said quietly. Then, without another word, he disappeared into the crowd, leaving her dizzy, breathless—and burning with questions. …… From the shadowed upper balcony, hidden behind a cascade of velvet curtains, he watched. The rogue Alpha. Golden eyes glinting with an emotion that bordered on feral. Lucien’s hand on her waist. Elaina’s flushed face. The way her breath hitched when Lucien leaned in. A growl rumbled low in his chest, deep and dangerous. His claws itched to break through his skin. His control hung by a thread. He dares touch her? She was supposed to be mine first. His teeth clenched. If she remembered—if her power awakened—Lucien would no longer be the only threat. The Alpha turned abruptly, his heavy boots echoing on the old stone floor as he stalked away into the night. A vase shattered near his path. Flames flickered unnaturally in the sconces as he passed, sensing his rage. He didn’t need to wait for fate. He would claim her himself—before Lucien could. …….. Above the ballroom, far beyond sight, suspended between the veils of this world and the next, a figure floated silently—maybe man or woman, cloaked in shadows and moonlight. Eyes like mirrored glass observed the dance, the rogue Alpha’s jealousy, and the web tightening around Elaina. A soft, amused chuckle escaped its lips. “So the pieces are moving again,” the figure whispered, voice echoing like wind through leaves. “How…delicious.” The figure raised a hand, tracing a glowing sigil in the air with a fingertip. Symbols sparked to life, ancient and shifting. “She doesn’t remember yet. But she will.” Its form shimmered, unraveling into wind and stardust. And then— It vanished. Leaving only silence in the space between worlds.

THE ROGUE, THE ALPHA AND ME Mother&Father?????
The night had grown strangely quiet.Not the peaceful kind of silence—but the unnerving, heavy stillness that pressed against the windows like a warning. Even the wind had stopped dancing with the trees, as if nature itself held its breath.Inside her dimly lit room, Elaina sat curled near the window, staring out into the moonlit forest beyond the estate walls. The stars were unusually bright tonight, piercing the velvet sky with shimmering clarity. But it wasn’t the stars that held her attention—it was something else.A sound.No, not a sound. A call.Soft. Wordless. More like a feeling brushing against her mind than a voice. It tugged at her—not physically, but spiritually. As if a part of her long buried beneath flesh and memory had heard something familiar.Her breath caught in her throat.Come.She blinked, pressing her palm to the cold glass. The forest, dark and wild, swayed gently in the moonlight. She had never ventured there. Valen had forbidden it. Lucien avoided the subjec
THE ROGUE, THE ALPHA AND ME That's how Lucien died!!!
The moon hung heavy over Valen’s estate, silver and silent, casting long shadows that crawled across the mansion’s marbled halls. Inside, the air was thick with quiet tension—Elaina had already retired to her room, her thoughts clouded with dreams, fragments, and the unsettling comfort of a home that wasn’t truly hers.Downstairs, Kade grabbed his cloak from the coat rack by the door, stretching with a dramatic sigh.“She’s asleep,” he murmured to himself, brushing his fingers through his unruly hair. “Time to go play assistant to the brooding wolf king.”He glanced once more at the grand staircase, then opened the door to the cool night air.As he stepped outside, the breeze tugged at his coat, and he rolled his eyes. “Lucien’s gonna miss me. Again.”.......At Lucien’s office, the scent of cedar and old parchment lingered in the air. Dim light spilled from the windows, casting golden rectangles across the stone path.But as Kade approached, he noticed a tall figure in motion—Valen,
THE ROGUE, THE ALPHA AND ME Guide her,Lure her
In the forgotten heart of the Deadwood Forest, where no sun dared to shine and no animal dared to rest, the air was thick with old magic—bitter and ancient, a pulse of darkness that trembled through the skeletal trees.Beneath the arch of a twisted oak, cloaked in robes darker than shadow itself, the figure stood unmoving.Its presence bent the air around it, a storm of silence and dread. The moon above it was veiled, as if even the heavens refused to witness its ritual.A deep breath, slow and measured.It raised one hand, fingers long and skeletal, lined with silver markings that shimmered faintly.With a flick, it whispered something in a language not spoken for a thousand years—“Invoco noctem corvus.”A gust of cold wind cut through the woods, scattering leaves in spirals. Then came the sound—a fluttering, slow at first, then loud and rhythmic, like thunder in disguise.From the shadowed sky descended a crow, its feathers a sheen of obsidian and ink, eyes burning with something
THE ROGUE, THE ALPHA AND ME That's how Valen died!!!!
Rain lashed against the tall windows of Lucien’s private office—an icy rhythm that echoed through the silence of the room. The fire in the hearth crackled, but it did little to warm the chill that crept into the air as Valen stepped inside, drenched, eyes burning with a rage that was centuries old.Lucien looked up from the parchment on his desk, his silver eyes narrowing.“You shouldn’t be here,” Lucien said calmly, but his muscles tensed beneath his tailored black shirt. “Especially not unannounced.”Valen didn’t sit. He didn’t smile. He moved forward like a storm on legs, each step heavy with purpose.“You went to see her,” Valen said, voice low but seething. “You were told not to.”Lucien rose slowly. “She’s not your prisoner, Valen.”“No,” Valen snarled. “She’s not yours either.”Their gazes locked like clashing swords. The storm outside was nothing compared to the storm inside this room.“She doesn’t belong to you,” Valen said, each word sharp and deliberate. “Not this time. Not
THE ROGUE, THE ALPHA AND ME Modern Mystery Man
The sky outside had turned a soft lavender as dusk fell, and the mansion stood quiet—too quiet. Valen had gone out on urgent business, leaving Kade alone in the grand estate when Elaina arrived from the hospital. Her steps were hesitant as she walked through the grand corridor, fingertips grazing along the marble banister, heart strangely unsettled.Kade was lounging on one of the leather couches in the drawing room, flipping through a dusty book with disinterest. He looked up the moment Elaina entered.“Well, look who survived another round of hospital drama,” he said with his usual crooked smirk.Elaina gave a weak smile and dropped onto the couch opposite him, pulling her legs up beneath her. “You’re always so casual about everything. Even when the world is… falling apart.”“It’s my charm,” Kade replied, shutting the book with a dramatic sigh. “Besides, if I start acting serious, everyone panics.”Elaina stared into the fire, its flames reflecting in her eyes like dancing ghosts. A
THE ROGUE, THE ALPHA AND ME The Moon Queen was secretly a chef????
Sunlight poured through the tall glass windows of Valen’s private library like liquid gold, casting a warm glow over the shelves stacked to the ceiling with forgotten tomes and ancient scrolls. Dust danced lazily in the air, disturbed only by the frantic flipping of pages.Elaina sat cross-legged on the marble floor, her arms buried elbow-deep in a thick grimoire bound in cracked leather. Across from her, Kade had somehow managed to wedge himself precariously between two high shelves, holding a glowing text above his head like it might start speaking.“This one has a list of fire-based incantations, a love spell that smells like burnt toast, and—wait for it—a recipe for ‘Moonlight Soup.’” Kade peeked over the edge of the book, grinning. “Do you think the Moon Queen was secretly a chef?”Elaina gave him a look. “If she was, her menu probably started with betrayal and ended in blood.”Kade made a mock-shiver sound. “Spicy.”She groaned, thumping the book shut. “We’re getting nowhere.
