로그인As the only pureblood vampire of her generation, Esper was expected to choose a husband by the end of her 21st winter. It was something that she had been looking forward to since she had come of age. Some of the most sought after bachelors have traveled from around the globe just to compete for her hand. But she never expected to capture the attention of two suitors. Her heart is torn between the quiet but romantic Seraph Solar, the heir of the prestigious Imperial Guard, and the ever brooding Maxim Huiyan, the CFO of one of the oldest vampire enterprises: Xiafeng Legacies. How would she choose between them? And would the one she rejects give her away willingly to the other?

Suara perempuan itu bergetar tertahan di sela napasnya, “Jangan terlalu keras.” “Mmhh… jangan di sini…” ujarnya mendorong dada bidangnya dengan gemetar. “Kalau ada yang lihat—” “Tidak akan ada yang melihat,” potong Aiden cepat, tatapannya membakar. “Kamar mandi ini masih tertutup. Aku sudah menahan diri seharian.” Lengan kokohnya melingkari pinggangnya, menariknya lebih dekat, seakan takut ia terlepas. “Tapi… sebentar lagi pertunanganmu..” bisiknya nyaris tak terdengar. Aiden menahan napasnya, lalu dengan lirih penuh hasrat berkata, “Kalau begitu, kita lanjutkan nanti.” Wajah perempuan itu menegang, bibirnya bergetar. “Bagaimana dengan Audrey…?” Tatapan Aiden mengeras, dalam dan tajam. “Jangan sampai dia tahu.” Gaun putih gading itu masih melekat di tubuh Audrey saat ia membuka pintu kamar mandi hotel. Detik berikutnya, dunianya runtuh. Calon tunangannya—laki-laki yang beberapa jam lagi akan melingkarkan cincin di jarinya—tengah menindih perempuan lain. Perempuan itu bukan orang asing. Atasan kantornya sendiri, wanita yang selalu menepuk bahunya tiap kali lembur. Darahnya beku. Tenggorokannya kering. Audrey hanya mampu berdiri, menatap tubuh yang berjerit nikmat, seakan seluruh janji yang pernah diucapkan padanya hanyalah lelucon murahan. Ia mundur tergesa, tumit sepatunya beradu lantai marmer, lalu berlari. Air mata tumpah, menghapus riasan sempurna yang baru saja dipoleskan perias. Beberapa gelas alkohol kemudian, Audrey sudah tidak peduli pada pesta pertunangan yang tinggal hitungan menit. Bar hotel menjadi pelariannya. Ia meneguk minuman hingga kepalanya ringan, hingga hatinya sedikit tumpul. Rasa sakitnya tetap ada, tapi kini bercampur dengan keberanian bodoh yang tidak biasanya. Langkahnya oleng saat meninggalkan bar. Ia menubruk dinding koridor, hampir jatuh, ketika sebuah tangan kuat meraih lengannya. “Hat-hati,” suara berat itu menahan. Audrey mendongak. Matanya kabur oleh air mata dan alkohol, tapi sosok di depannya membuatnya membeku. Pria dewasa dengan wajah tegas, tatapan dingin yang entah kenapa terasa hangat untuknya. “Aku… aku baik-baik saja,” katanya terbata. Tangannya tetap menahan di pinggang Audrey, membuat gadis itu mendengus frustrasi tapi tak sanggup mendorong. “Jangan buru-buru. Ballroom ini masih luas untukmu bebas.” Ia tertawa getir, suaranya serak. “Hari ini aku seharusnya bertunangan.” Pria itu mengerutkan alis, namun tidak menyela. Ia hanya menunggu. “Dan aku mendapati dia… calon suamiku… bercinta dengan bosku sendiri di kamar mandi hotel ini.” Suaranya pecah. Mata Audrey kembali panas. “Lucu sekali.” Sunyi sesaat. Mungkin laki-laki itu enggan menyahut perempuan patah hati. Jadi dia hanya menatapnya datar. Ia menoleh, menatap wajah di dekatnya. Ada garis tegas di rahang, ada mata dalam yang terasa berbeda dari laki-laki seumurannya. Alkohol membuatnya berani. “Kamu ganteng…” “Tapi…” ada jeda sebentar. “Kamu mirip calon tunanganku. Tapi masih kerenan kamu.” Degup jantung Audrey kian liar. Kata-kata itu, sikap itu, semuanya seperti cambuk yang memecahkan dinding pertahanannya. Tubuhnya condong tanpa sadar. “Kamu mau tidur samaku nggak?” suaranya lirih, hampir seperti permohonan. Ia tidak menjawab, hanya membiarkan Audrey merebah di bahunya. Hangat tubuhnya menyelimuti, aroma maskulin yang samar menusuk ke indera. Alkohol berputar di kepalanya, membuat imajinasinya kian tak terkendali. Ia membayangkan bagaimana rasanya jika pria ini yang menggantikan, pria asing yang bahkan lebih membuatnya merasa aman ketimbang tunangannya sendiri. Kalimat itu bagai api kecil yang menyulut. Tanpa sadar Audrey menggenggam lengan kemeja pria itu lebih erat, mendekatkan tubuhnya. Dadanya bergemuruh. Pipinya panas. Ia tahu ini salah, tapi rasa sakit bercampur mabuk membuatnya ingin melupakan segalanya. “Kalau… aku minta kamu tidur denganku, apa kamu mau?” suaranya bergetar, nyaris seperti rayuan. Pria itu menatapnya lama. Rahangnya mengeras, namun ia tetap tidak melepaskan pegangan. Napasnya memburu. Jarak wajah mereka hanya tinggal beberapa jengkal. Ia menutup mata sejenak, seolah menunggu sesuatu yang terlarang terjadi. Namun yang ada hanya genggaman di pinggangnya yang tetap kokoh, menahan agar ia tidak terjatuh. Tidak lebih. Audrey menatap mata pria asing itu lebih lama dari seharusnya. Alkohol masih berputar di kepalanya, tapi keinginan liar yang menyeruak begitu nyata. Nafasnya terengah, tubuhnya condong tanpa ia sadari. Bibirnya nyaris menyentuh rahang keras pria itu, lalu dalam sekejap ia berani—ia menempelkan ciuman basah di bibirnya. Pria asing itu terkejut, seketika memegang kedua bahunya dan berusaha menjauh. “Hei… kamu mabuk,” suaranya dalam, menahan, namun napasnya sendiri sudah mulai memburu. “Aku tahu…” Audrey berbisik, bibirnya kembali mencari. “Tapi aku mau kamu.” Lelaki itu menutup mata, rahangnya menegang, tubuh normalnya bereaksi meski kepalanya mencoba menolak. “Kamu yakin? Jangan sampai menyesal.” “Aku yakin.” Audrey menatapnya lurus, mata berkaca namun penuh keberanian bodoh. “Aku ingin kamu, malam ini, sekarang.” Itu saja sudah cukup memecahkan pertahanan terakhirnya. Pria itu mendengus kasar, lalu tanpa kata lagi, ia meraih pinggang Audrey lebih erat dan menarik tubuhnya ke dadanya. Ciuman berikutnya bukan lagi ciuman Audrey seorang, tapi juga balasan liar darinya—panas, dalam, dan membakar. Audrey mendesah di sela ciuman, jemarinya meremas kemeja lelaki itu seolah takut ia pergi. Ia tidak pergi. Justru sebaliknya. Dengan gerakan mantap, ia membopong Audrey ke kamarnya. Pintu terhentak tertutup, dan tubuh Audrey langsung ditekan lembut ke ranjang empuk. Tatapan mereka bertemu sesaat, lalu pria itu meraih bibirnya lagi, kali ini lebih menggebu. Satu per satu, pakaian menjadi hambatan yang terlepas begitu saja. Audrey hampir lupa siapa dirinya, siapa lelaki ini. Yang ada hanya rasa hangat kulit ke kulit, desahan yang memenuhi kamar hotel, dan pelukan eratnya saat benteng pertahanan Audrey akhirnya benar-benar dibobol. Tangannya menggenggam lengan kokoh itu erat, tubuhnya berguncang dengan setiap tarikan napas. Air mata yang tadi jatuh kini bercampur dengan desahan. Malam itu, Audrey menyerahkan seluruh dirinya pada pria asing yang bahkan namanya belum diketahui, tapi lebih membuatnya merasa hidup daripada calon tunangannya sendiri. Namun di tengah keintiman yang membakar itu, ponselnya di meja samping ranjang tiba-tiba berdering nyaring. Audrey refleks menoleh, matanya terbelalak. Nama yang muncul di layar membuat darahnya seakan berhenti mengalir. ‘Aiden.’ ***The sounds of soft cries stirred Esper from her sleep. She groggily opened her eyes and saw little Max standing at the side of the bed, rubbing at his eyes. “Oh, Max.” As Esper sat up, she wrapped the sheet around her torso like a makeshift dress then pulled the boy onto her lap. “How about you tell Mama what’s wrong?” “I had a bad dream.” Maxim hugged onto his mother tight as his small body shook. “I dreamt I was big and hurt you. I don’t want to hurt you, Mama.” “Oh, Sweetie.” Esper caressed Maxim’s raven locks and kissed the top of his head. “I’m sorry you had a bad dream.” Seeing the small boy distressed broke Esper’s heart. She knew the cause of his nightmare. Maxim was suffering from memory echoes, a common a
"You want to what?" Wesley was fuming. He couldn't wrap his head around what could possibly drive his daughter to take care of a person who had caused her so much pain, regardless of if they were a child now or not. "That is not a child. That is a monster who did unspeakable things to you." "Max is not a monster. He needs someone to teach him what real love is." Esper was not backing down. "Yggdrasil was able to see a spark of good in Max and gave him a second chance. Why can't you?" Seraph stood and stifled his laughter as he watched the father and daughter go back and forth. Even Esper wasn't actually his daughter; she still wanted his blessing and approval. Not understanding the heated argument, Maxim ran over to Esper and hugged her leg. He looked up at Wesley and stuck out his lip, making as stern a face as he could. "Don't yell at Mama!" Wesley paused from the toddler's words and looked down at him, then back up at Esper. He could already see the bond between mother and s
A warm breeze stirred up the grass around Seraph and Esper as they sat in the garden of ruins, enjoying the sun. They were propped up against one of the stone columns with Esper between Seraph's legs and her head resting on his chest. "So, you remember everything now?" Seraph laced his fingers with Esper's and brought them up to his mouth to kiss them. "Kind of." Esper shifted a bit to look up at her mate. "The memories are extremely vibrant and can be a little overwhelming when I try to recall too much, but I think it's all there." "Well, don't try too hard." Seraph tilted his head down and kissed the top of Esper's head. "You've been through a lot." "So, have you." Esper reached up with her free hand and ran her fingers through Seraph's black hair. "I can't arg
Lucien’s maniacal laughter echoed throughout the grand chamber of the World Tree cloister. He was standing atop a pile of spriggan corpses, yanking on their limbs and breaking them as if they were twigs. “Are you having fun yet, Yggdrasil?” Lucien hopped off of the pile and walked over to the World Tree. He bent over and knocked on the trunk. “If you don’t send out another one of your little tree witches to entertain my new powers, I’m going to start burning your real body here. I wonder how long it will take the flames to reach your heart?” “Is that how you treat your creator?” The female’s voice set Lucien off. He turned around to see Esper pushing herself up off the ground. How was she still alive and moving? Even with a vampire’s healing abilities, the woman’s broken back would
Esper felt something nudging at her shoulder. Not quite ready to wake, she slapped at the annoyance. Her hand was met by a solid thud and thick fur. She opened her eyes and was met by the crystal blue stare of the stag. The animal was clearly not amused with Esper and huffed in her
"Hey, Senna and Asher... I know I haven't come by to see you guys... There have been so many changes happening in my life, and I guess this was one that I fought hard to not accept." Esper sat on the cold marble floor of the mausoleum in front of a memorial.
"Are you sure," Ronnie asked hesitantly. "Yes." Esper stared in the mirror and picked up one of her long locks. "It was one of the things Maxim was obsessed with. I want it gone." "Well," Ronnie sucked in a breath. "Here goes nothing." Ronnie picked up the scissors off of her boudoir an
