Zavier, the Alpha of the Crescent pack, sits at a large wooden table in his office surrounded by his trusted advisors. He looks tense and conflicted as he addresses something important. "My dear advisors, as you know, my Luna and I have been trying to conceive a child for years, but with no success." The advisors nodded sympathetically. "After much thought and consideration, we have decided to look into surrogacy. I know this is not a conventional path for us." "However, I want to make one thing clear. We will only consider she-wolf from our own pack for this. It's important that we keep the bloodline within our community." Zavier's eyes wander over the group of she-wolves until his eyes landed on Sophia, locking it's glare like she's a piece of gem. There's something about her that catches his attention, and he can't look away. "You. The she-wolf with an ash grey hair." "Yes, Alpha?" "I think you would be perfect for this role. You have a strong spirit, and I believe you would make a great surrogate for my Queen." "Me, Alpha?" "Yes, you. You are the chosen one." "I'm willing to take the risk, Alpha. I would be honored to help you and our Luna Queen to have a child." In a moment of passion, Zavier impregnates Sophia, but keeps the truth hidden from his unsuspecting wife, believing that the baby will be a precious gift to her. Meanwhile, Zavier struggles with his own feelings of guilt and conflict. As the pregnancy progresses, the truth about Zavier's actions threatens to come to light, with devastating consequences for all involved. Will Sophia and the Zavier find a way to navigate their complicated emotions and build a future together, or will their secrets and lies tear them apart forever?

"Aku takut saat melihat tanda-tanda vital pasien mulai melemah."
"Kenapa?"
"Karena kemungkinan malaikat maut sedang berada di sana"

Kimi tersentak dan seketika membuka kelopak matanya lebar-lebar. Jantungnya berdetak tak karuan, keringat dingin nampak membasahi pelipisnya. Sudah lebih dari sebulan ini, dokter cantik berumur dua puluh enam tahun itu mendapat mimpi yang seolah menjadi teror baginya.
"Mimpi buruk lagi?"
Kimi hanya mengangguk menjawab pertanyaan Kayla-temannya. Dokter cantik berumur dua puluh enam tahun itu lantas berdiri dari kursinya. Kimi memilih mengayunkan kakinya ke kamar mandi untuk mencuci muka.
Selesai menyapukan air ke seluruh wajahnya, Kimi memandangi pantulan dirinya dari cermin yang tepat berada di depan bak cuci tangan. Menyedihkan, ia bahkan seolah lupa bagaimana cara tersenyum.
Perubahan pada diri Kimi terjadi setelah kepergian Noah-kekasihnya satu bulan yang lalu. Pria yang menjadi pujaan hatinya selama hampir satu tahun itu meninggal akibat penyakit kanker hati yang dideritanya.
Semenjak Noah meninggal, Kimi selalu saja bermimpi tentang percakapan terakhirnya dengan pria itu, terlebih dengan mata kepalanya sendiri Kimi melihat tanda-tanda vital Noah melemah, hingga menutup mata untuk selama-lamanya.
"Ternyata patah hati karena putus belum seberapa sakitnya dibanding patah hati ditinggal mati," gumam Kimi sambil mengusap linangan air mata yang bercampur dengan air kran di wajahnya.
"Ayo Kimi, kamu pasti bisa," lirihnya menyemangati diri sendiri.
Selesai membasuh muka dan mengeringkan wajahnya, Kimi kembali ke ruangan jaga dimana beberapa rekan yang seprofesi dengannya berada. Mematahkan lehernya ke kanan dan ke kiri, Kimi kembali berpura-pura baik-baik saja di depan rekan kerjanya. Ia meregangkan punggung dan memijat tangannya yang sedikit pegal karena dia gunakan sebagai bantalan kepala.
Menyodorkan sebuah pizza ke Kimi setelah gadis itu duduk di sebelahnya, Kayla tak lupa membukakan sebuah botol air mineral agar Kimi bisa sedikit tenang, Kayla sadar temannya yang memiliki nama lengkap Kimi Zia Azzahra itu sedang tidak dalam kondisi baik.
"Makan! aku tahu sejak pagi kamu tidak makan, tidak lucu jika dokter sering sakit-sakitan," ucap Kayla layaknya ibu yang memarahi anaknya yang sedang melakukan GTM alias gerakan tutup mulut.
Kimi pun tersenyum simpul dan mengucapkan terima kasih. Ia meraih potongan pizza bertabur potongan sosis dari kardusnya. Membuka lebar-lebar dan menyuapkannya ke dalam mulut, Kimi menggoyang-goyangkan bagian atas tubuhnya sambil bergumam, "Sesekali dokter juga butuh makanan yang bisa memanjakan lidah, aku bosan makan sehat."
Selesai mengisi perut. Perlahan Kimi mulai bisa mencurahkan isi hatinya ke Kayla. Gadis itu berkata bahwa dia tidak bisa terus bekerja di rumah sakit ini karena terlalu banyak kenangan yang dia habiskan bersama Noah.
"Apa lebih baik aku berhenti saja menjadi dokter?"
Kayla terdiam, sebenarnya ia terlalu bingung menyikapi pertanyaan Kimi, terlebih gurat kesedihan langsung nampak dari wajah temannya itu. Ia tahu bahwa menjadi dokter adalah cita-cita Kimi sejak kecil, berhenti menjadi dokter jelas tidak akan mudah. Kayla pada akhirnya hanya bisa menghela napas dan menepuk pundak Kimi untuk menunjukkan rasa simpati.

Ternyata benar bahwa cinta itu bisa datang ke siapa saja, tanpa memandang rupa, banyaknya harta, juga derajat yang kita punya. Begitulah yang dirasakan oleh Kimi. Satu tahun yang lalu, Ia jatuh cinta kepada seorang pria yang sering dia temui di rumah sakit tempatnya bekerja. Ya, pria itu bernama Noah, dan sayangnya ia mengidap penyakit kanker hati.
Meskipun Kimi tahu bahwa harapan hidup Noah sangatlah tipis. Namun, kedekatan yang terjalin berhasil menimbulkan benih-benih cinta diantara keduanya. Hingga, perjuangan hidup Noah berakhir tepat di depan matanya, dan membuat hati Kimi hancur.
Kim, aku sudah bisa membaca bagaimana akhir kisah cinta kita. Namun, sejak pertama kali bertemu denganmu, aku merasa tiba-tiba cahaya yang sudah mati di dalam diriku menyala kembali. Sejak divonis mengidap penyakit mematikan ini, aku hanya pasrah dan menjalani pengobatan untuk menyenangkan hati keluargaku. Hingga kamu datang dan membuatku tidak ingin cepat meninggalkan dunia ini. Aku ingin hidup lebih lama, dan aku ingin memulainya bersamamu. Maukah kamu menjadi kekasihku?
Kimi membaca kembali pesan Noah yang tidak pernah dia hapus dari ponselnya. Ia sangat merindukan sosok pria itu. Kristal Bening pun kembali meleleh membasahi pipinya. Gadis itu menjatuhkan kepalanya ke stir mobil sambil meremas bagian kemejanya yang berada di depan dada.
Hingga ponsel miliknya berbunyi. Kimi pun menghapus air mata dan menggeser tanda hijau yang berada di layarnya.
"Halo!"
"Onikim, Bilu mau bobok sama onikim malam ini."
Kimi cepat-cepat membawa mobilnya menuju apartemen setelah menerima telepon. Salah satu hiburan bagi dirinya adalah dua keponakan kembarnya yang bernama Segara dan Biru. Dua bocah itu selalu bisa membuat Kimi tertawa, terlebih Biru yang memang lebih dekat dengannya.
Memarkirkan mobilnya di basement, Kimi tersenyum dan berjalan menuju sebuah mobil van mewah dimana saudara tirinya yang bernama Mina dan kedua putra kembarnya sudah menunggu. Ya, meskipun umur mereka sama, tapi Mina menikah muda di usia 21 tahun.
“Onikim Bilu kangen.”
Bocah bernama Biru itu langsung memeluk tubuh Kimi, menggaungkan nama panggilan kesayangan darinya untuk sang tante-Onikim kepanjangan dari onty Kimi.
“Onikim juga kangen.” Mengusap rambut Biru, Kimi berjalan mendekat ke arah Mina yang menggandeng Segara.
“Lembur terus.”
“Aku butuh membayar cicilan apartemen tau,” ketus Kimi ke Mina, memasang muka masam keduanya lantas tertawa.
Sejak dua tahun lalu gadis itu memutuskan membeli apartemen untuk dia tinggali, alasannya hanya ingin mandiri dan sebagai aset pribadi, karena Kimi sadar CEO kaya raya seperti suami Mina tidak mungkin ada yang meliriknya, apa lagi berharap bertubrukan di jalan kemudian jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. Halah-
(Zavier's POV) On a calm and captivating night, the moon radiated with a dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire world with its otherworldly light. It was a night that seemed to be filled with magic and wonder. In the midst of this enchanting atmosphere, I decided to go on a solitary adventure through the captivating embrace of the moonlit forest.I discovered that my thoughts were consumed by Luna Bella, and I couldn't help but ponder over the series of events that had led me to where I am now.

It was a sorrow that refused to fade away, persisting with an enduring ache that seemed to linger on indefinitely. The absence of the woman had a profound effect on me, particularly when it came to making decisions as the Alpha. Her presence was so significant that her absence was palpable, and it influenced every choice I had to make in my leadership role. We deeply felt the absence of her presence, and her memory acted as a source of inspiration and guidance for us as we navigated through the tough obstacles that came our way.

(Zavier's POV)As I stood next to Luna Bella, a feeling of deep sadness washed over me, causing my heart to sink. It was a heartbreaking moment as I witnessed her life gradually slipping away. Bella, my mate, who was once full of life and vitality, now appeared feeble. Her breaths were growing increasingly shallow as time went on. I was experiencing an intense and excruciating pain in my chest that felt unbearable. The mere thought of a life without her was too overwhelming for me to even imagine.I tightly grasped her hand, desperately yearning for my touch to provide solace and reassurance to her. I begged Bella to remain by my side, my voice filled with intense emotion, causing it to crack and break." I am pleading with you not to abandon me or walk away from me. I am expressing my deep desire for you to stay by my side and not leave me alone."Luna Bella mustered a smile, her eyes brimming with a mixture of affection and sorrow, it's the same eyes that I fell in love with a few
~Flashback~ Luna Bella was seated all alone in the quiet solitude of her chambers. The soft moonlight streamed in through the window. It created a gentle glow that enveloped the entire room. As she reflected on her emotions, her thoughts became consumed by a profound feeling of sadness, accompanied by an overwhelming yearning. It had been several years since she and Alpha Zavier was on their journey to conceive a child. Despite their unwavering efforts, she had not been blessed with the gift of pregnancy.As the Luna of the Crescent Pack, she felt an immense weight of responsibility. The main goal that she had was to make sure that the future of the pack was secure. The pack was in need of an heir. She had a strong desire to fulfill Alpha Zavier's longing for a child. Despite her best efforts and the assistance of the pack's healers, she was unable to conceive. As a result, she remained infertile.She was haunted by the memory of that fateful day. On that day, she received news that
(Zavier's POV) ~Flashback: Zavier's Dream~ I stood there, feeling completely awestruck. I was unable to tear my eyes away from the incredible sight that lay before me. The woman, Sophia, whom I had truly loved, was currently in the process of bringing a completely new life into existence. Ever since the very first moment we met, I have been absolutely astounded by her incredible courage and unwavering selflessness. As I cradled the crying baby in my arms, I was filled with an immense feeling of gratitude and love towards her.I shifted my eyes to Luna Bella. The woman wore a radiant smile on her face, a smile that exuded pure happiness. She extended her hand gently towards the baby's delicate cheek. With love, she caressed it tenderly. Finally, after years of hoping and longing, our ultimate dream of starting a family and bringing a child into our lives has become a reality. Sophia's unwavering support and sacrifice made this incredible achievement possible."Thank you, Sophia," I w
(Sophia's POV) ~Flashback~ I always envision myself to be someone that will definitely give my father a good life. I know that he has a lot of dreams for me, I know that there is a lot of things that I need to do as well in order for myself to keep on going with life. As the days went by, I could feel the weight of my secret becoming heavier and heavier. Each passing moment added to the burden I carried. The words spoken by Elena had remained in my mind for quite some time. After taking the time to reflect on her words, I came to the realization that she was, in fact, correct. I felt a strong need to share my thoughts and feelings with someone I trusted and who was in close proximity to me. This was because I was dealing with a challenging situation at the time. However, the mere idea of informing my father filled me with an overwhelming sense of fear and dread. Throughout my life, he had consistently been the one I could rely on. He has always been my unwavering support system.
