LOGIN“Why wouldn’t he just tell me?” I muttered to myself. “What else is he hiding?” Seraphine, a wolf-less Luna, is trapped in a fated bond with Alpha Lucien, the leader of the Crimson Pack—who may hold the key to her parents’ brutal murder.

View MoreSejak kedua orang tuanya tiada, Alexa kehilangan seluruh warna pada dunianya. Kebahagiaan nampak mustahil.
Seolah semua penderitaannya tak cukup membuat merana, Alexa juga harus merasakan sebuah gairah panas yang terus menyeruak tanpa henti. Ia pun tak paham bagaimana itu terjadi. Hanya tahu jika dirinya seringkali begitu ingin merasakan sentuhan. Namun, rahasia itu ia simpan rapat. *** Di sebuah rumah mewah yang tampak seperti sebuah kastil, seorang gadis muda tengah duduk sendiri di meja makan yang panjang dan sepi. “Bi, minum!” perintah gadis itu tegas namun anggun. Alexa Jennifer—gadis muda berusia 21 tahun. Dia tampak mempesona dengan balutan dress mewah nan elegan berwarna putih menutupi kulitnya yang putih bersih, dengan aksesoris kalung, anting dan juga gelang yang terbuat dari mutiara asli. Rambutnya panjang terurai indah berwarna kecoklatan. Dengan anggun ia meneguk segelas air putih, disusul dengan memasukkan potongan daging sapi ke dalam mulutnya. Namun matanya yang biru indah, tetap fokus ke depan, menatap kegelapan. "Nona, apakah anda membutuhkan yang lain?" tanya Alis, pelayan rumahnya. "Tidak!" sahutnya sembari mengusap lembut bibirnya dengan tisu setelah meneguk air putih. "Aku mau ke kamar," ucapnya menambahkan. "Baik, Nona," sahut Alis, kepala menunduk hormat. Dengan perlahan Alexa meraih tongkatnya, lalu berdiri tegak, ia sama sekali tak ingin dibantu oleh siapapun yang akan membuatnya lemah dan manja. Walau terkadang ia sering terjatuh karena kecerobohannya. "Alexa sayang, kamu mau kemana, sayangku?" tanya seorang wanita mengalun lembut. Wanita berumur 37 tahun itu berdiri, wajahnya cantik namun sorot matanya tajam penuh ambisi dan keserakahan. Dia adalah adik satu satunya dari ayah kandung Alexa—Ny. Audrey. Alexa sontak berhenti, wajahnya menghadap ke arah suara, "Aku mau ke kamar, Tante," sahutnya lembut. "Tante mau bicara sebentar sama kamu, sayang, " ucap Ny. Audrey dengan mulut manisnya. Alexa terdiam sejenak, teringat pembicaraan Ny. Audrey beberapa hari yang lalu. "Tenang, sayang... Tante tak akan membahas tentang harta dan perusahaan orang tuamu lagi," ujar Ny. Audrey. "Lalu apa, Tante?" tanya Alexa. "Sayang, Om dan Tante sangat khawatir sama kamu, kamu adalah keluarga Tante satu-satunya. Kamu adalah keponakan Tante, sayang," ucap Ny. Audrey dramatis. "Lalu apa keinginanmu, Tante?" Alexa bertanya lagi. "Kamu tinggal seorang diri di rumah sebesar ini dan hanya ditemani beberapa pekerja, dalam keadaanmu yang seperti ini, Tante sangat cemas, bahkan kamu harus meneruskan perusahaan orang tuamu. Om dan Tante sudah berdiskusi di rumah, kami sudah menyewakanmu seorang bodyguard. Dia akan menjagamu dan membantumu bekerja, sayang, " bujuk Ny. Audrey. "Tidak, Tante. Aku bisa sendiri, aku tak suka ada orang asing di dekatku." Alexa menolak tegas. "Sayang... sebenci itu kah kamu pada kami? Sehingga kamu tak mau menerima rasa perhatian kami?" ucap lirih Ny. Audrey. "Maafkan aku, Kak... aku tak bisa menjaga anakmu dengan baik," sambungnya dengan nada meringis, bicara pada orang yang tak ada. Alexa merasa tak nyaman. "Bukannya begitu Tante,,tapi..." "Dengar, sayang... kamu harus mengemban amanah dari kedua orang tuamu bukan? Maaf, sayang, dengan keadaanmu yang seperti ini kamu tak kan bisa melakukannya dengan maksimal, kamu harus mempunyai seseorang yang membantumu,” ujar Ny. Audrey. Belum sempat Alexa menjawabnya, Ny. Audrey sudah lebih dahulu menambahkan, “Tante sudah menyewa orang yang pintar, cekatan dan dapat dipercaya. Dia juga bisa melindungimu dari orang jahat. Apa kamu tau? Pesaing perusahaan ayahmu itu banyak, mereka bisa menghalalkan segala cara agar perusahaan ayahmu jatuh,” ucap Ny. Audrey dengan nada yang terdengar dibuat-buat untuk menakut-nakuti. Alexa menarik nafas dalam-dalam kemudian menghembuskannya perlahan, "Baiklah, Tante. Tapi aku ingin menemuinya terlebih dahulu. Jika aku tak suka, aku tak kan menerimanya." Alexa menegaskan. Ny. Audrey tersenyum mendengarnya. “Oke, sayang. Terima kasih sudah mengerti perasaan Tante,” ujarnya sembari mendelikkan kedua matanya sinis. Alexa tidak membalasnya lagi. Gadis itu lantas mengarahkan tongkatnya ke depan. Dengan tangan terangkat, ia meraih pagar tangga, perlahan berjalan menaiki satu per satu anak tangga menuju kamarnya yang berada di lantai dua rumah mewah itu. Ny. Audrey menatap punggung keponakannya itu, lalu ia segera merogoh ponsel dari tas brandednya. “Gadis cacat itu sudah setuju, segera siapkan orang itu—yang akan menjadi bodyguardnya!”Chapter 136 Seraphine’s POV The wolf hesitated. “Minutes. Maybe less.” “Shit.” Damien ran a hand through his hair, frustration evident in every movement. He turned to his men, barking out orders. “Double the perimeter. Get everyone ready. We hold our ground.” I watched him for a moment before speaking. “You have no idea who they are?” Damien exhaled sharply. “If I did, I wouldn’t be standing here wasting time.” Lucien chuckled. “Well, this is a nice change. Damien, the all-knowing, actually clueless for once. Feels good, doesn’t it?” Damien snapped his gaze to him, his teeth clenched. “Do you ever shut up?” Lucien grinned. “Not when I’m enjoying myself.” I ignored them, my mind racing. This wasn’t right. This wasn’t supposed to happen. I came here to kill Damien, to end this war once and for all. But now? Now it felt like something much bigger was coming. Something we weren’t prepared for. I took a deep breath, trying to push down the unease creeping up my spine. “If we don’t
Lucien’s POV The silence that followed Seraphina’s retreat was deafening. I could still feel her claws against my skin, the ghost of her grip lingering like a brand. My throat burned where she had nearly ended me, but it wasn’t the pain that rattled me—it was the look in her eyes before she let go. Damn her. I sat up slowly, wincing as my ribs protested the movement. The battlefield stretched out around me, chaos still raging in the distance, but for the first time, I wasn’t focused on the war. I was focused on her. She had every reason to kill me. Hell, she wanted to. But she didn’t. Why? I ran a hand through my hair, letting out a bitter chuckle. I already knew the answer. She might have convinced herself she hated me, that she wanted me dead, but the bond between us told another story. Seraphina still felt it. Even after everything. A sudden snarl snapped me out of my thoughts, and I barely had time to roll out of the way before claws slashed through the space where I’d bee
Seraphine's POVI stood there, my breath ragged, my heart hammering against my ribs. The blood, the smoke, the chaos around us—it all faded into the background. It was just him and me now.Lucien.His name tore from my throat before I could stop myself."Lucien!" I shouted, my voice shaking with rage.His head snapped up. His golden eyes locked onto mine, burning through the darkness. A slow smirk pulled at his lips, even with the blood dripping from his temple. "Seraphina," he called back, voice deep, mocking. "You finally came. Took you long enough."I clenched my fists. "I would’ve come sooner if I knew you'd still be breathing."He chuckled low, shaking his head. "You always were impatient."I took a step forward, my grip tightening on my dagger. "I’m not here for Damien. I don’t give a damn about this war. You think I’m fighting for him? You think I care who wins?" I let out a bitter laugh. "I came here for you, Lucien."His smirk didn’t waver. "Is that so?""You killed my parent
Seraphine's POVIn no time, I was at the borders of Lucien's pack. Just as I predicted, some of Damien's forces were still here, waging war. The air was thick with smoke, the scent of burning wood and blood mixing into something sickening. My eyes watered as I tried to see through the haze, but it was near impossible. The war had turned everything into a living nightmare. The pack walls—what was left of them—stood in jagged, crumbling ruins. Stones lay scattered like broken bones, pieces of wood charred black, barely holding onto their original form. The once-proud gates that had stood tall and strong were now reduced to splinters, torn apart by the endless battle.I swallowed hard, my throat dry. Was this the same pack I had once called home? The same pack where I had walked as a Luna? It was a skeleton of its former self, a ghost town caught in the middle of destruction. Bodies lay sprawled across the ground, warriors from both sides fallen where they fought. The walls, once meant t
Seraphine's POVNow the man took me into the woods. I was already weak, and the injuries inflicted on me by the guards were a whole lot. So I was literally limping."Let me help you out," he said, even as he rendered his hand.I hit it away, giving him a I-don't-care face."Don't be stubborn, Serap
Lucien’s POVThis week has been the most stressful ever. I am fucking losing it. Alpha Damien was right when he said he would make sure he turned me to dust. Because the strikes he has been releasing on my pack have been so terrible, and it’s truly crumbling me to the highest. Another thing—Ryder t
Seraphina’s POV"Today's training exercise will be centered on controlling your wolves!" the trainer yelled in the courtyard. "You need to learn how to tame your wolf and make it your partner, not your LORD!"I barely listened. The words meant nothing to me. I knew I needed to get stronger, yet it
Seraphina’s POV"You are no longer solely by yourself." Opening my eyes I felt an overwhelming difference in the air... How long was I out?The voice struck me like a clap of thunder. I suddenly sat up, gasping for oxygen as if I had been drowning, and my eyes sprung open in a matter of seconds.
