Vulnerability. That was one thing Alpha Grey Geraldson couldn't afford. Being the devil himself, who made people shiver at the mention of his name has always made him play the cards to his advantage, but then, a catastrophic run-in with the fragile Bloom Bardwell, dented his plans, when she turned out to be the one thing he never wanted, his mate. And thus, madness descended from the pit of hell, coming in the form of the cognac-eyed beauty who tore down his walls without having to try too hard.

“Aduuuuuuh sakit! Woy kalo jalan pelan-pelan dong!”
Pria gempal dengan tas biru cerah itu berlari sambil berlalu.
“Aduduuuuh sakit banget ini! Santai aja kali lagian masih ada waktu juga.” Nika berkata lirih sambil mengusap pundaknya.
Setelah diam sebentar di ujung tangga, ia pun melanjutkan perjalanan ke gedung balai. Di sudut gedung, sudah ada Ana dan Rani.
“Nikaaaaaa, Nikaaaaaaaa, siniiiiiiiii!”
“Oh itu mereka! Hoooooy!”
“Kenapa sih kamu pagi-pagi udah mesem gitu?” tanya Ana padaku.
“Sebel banget tau masa tadi pas naik tangga ada cowok yang nabrak aku?! Mana ga minta maaf lagi! Ini bahu aku sakit banget soalnya ketabrak sama dia huhuhu.”
“Dia buru-buru kali?”
“Iya emang dia keliatan buru-buru. Tapi ga gitu juga sih! Santai aja kan masih ada waktu juga.”
“Hahahaha dasar Nika. Ini tuh udah mepet waktu tauuuu. Ini aja kamu nyampe 5 menit sebelum orientasi dimulai kan?”
“Hahahaha iya juga sih.”

“Asiiiik kita bertiga sekelas! Kita ada di kelas A.” Nika berkata dengan girang.
“Ah iya kita sekelas dong!” Ana menambahkan.
“Aku penasaran cowok biologi di kelas kita ada berapa orang ya? Hahaha.” Ucap Rani dengan nada menyelidik serta senyum Ana yang jahil.
“Hahahaha emang dasar ih kalian konyol banget.”
“Tau lah ya kan biologi udah terkenal spesies cowoknya langka. Hahaha.”
Rani dan Ana mulai menghitung laki-laki yang ada di dalam kelas. Lalu, Nika tanpa sengaja melihat sosok pria gempal itu duduk di pojok depan seberang meja dosen. Nika pun langsung berbisik pada Ana dan Rani.
“Ana, Rani, itu dia cowok gendut yang waktu itu nabrak aku di tangga!” Nika mengarahkan matanya menuju tempat yang dimaksud.
“Oh yang pake kacamata sama tas biru persib itu bukan?” Sahut Ana dan Rani sambil mengikuti gerak mata Nika.
“Ah iya iya bener yang itu!” Ujar Nika membenarkan.
“Hahahahaha ketemu lagi ya kalian.”
“Ih apaan sih kalian, aku masih sebel tau!”
Saat maju untuk perkenalan mahasiswa, pria itu maju duluan dan memperkenalkan dirinya. “Perkenalkan, nama saya Aldi Swastamita, biasa dipanggi Aldi. Asal saya dari Jakarta. Oh iya, status saya saat ini single loh.” Sontak aku dan teman satu kelas tercengang mendengar ucapannya. Rani kemudian berbisik pada Nika.
“Ini orang kenapa sih? Kuliah kok jadi ajang cari jodoh lah.”
“Biasalah, mungkin dia kesepian butuh wanita. Butuh dimanja hahaha.” Begitu ucap Nika pada Rani. Ana yang duduk di belakang kami pun menambahkan “Ini orang emang kegatelan. Awas ah kita jangan deket-deket sama dia!” Lalu perkenalan pun berlanjut sampai akhirnya tiba giliran Nika yang maju ke depan. Saat baru saja memperkenalkan diri, tiba-tiba Aldi memotong pembicaraan.
“Wah, kamu kan cewek judes yang waktu itu papasan di tangga kan? Iya, kan?”
“Oh jadi ternyata kita sekelas ya. Jangan judes nanti cowok pada takut. Hahaha”
Sontak saat itu Nika langsung geram dan berujar “Apaan sih lo, baru kenal juga udah bilang judes-judes.”
“Kita kan baru aja kenal, ga usah sok tau deh sama kepribadian gue.”
“Hahaha ampun – ampun bercanda ko. Yaudah salam kenal ya. Semoga kita akur ke depannya.” Begitu ujarnya. Saat Nika kembali ke tempat duduknya, Rani dan Ana berbisik
“Gila kamu ngegas banget!”
“Sebel gue baru juga ketemu sekilas udah bilang gue jutek hidiiih!”
“Hahaha mungkin dia pengen kenalan dan deket sama lo kali ya, Nika?”
“Meneketehe dah ga peduli gue.”

GREYSomeone was crying. Whoever it was, I knew it was because of me, so I tried to open my eyes to see what the matter was, but when I felt a wave of pain go through me, I held my breath and waited for the pain to subside for what seemed like an eternity. Then I tried again. This time, I was successful. Bloom. She sat in a chair beside me, her head in my hands as she sobbed. “Bloom?” My voice didn’t sound like me. It sounded gravely and thin. Her head lifted as she gasped. I saw the moment her expression changed from worry to relief. “Grey? You’re awake?” I gave her a small nod and didn’t say anything. I held her hand, and I knew she understood me. “What about the Pack? And everyone?”“They’re all safe. You defeated our worst enemies,” Bloom said and I nodded just as the memories of the battle flooded back to me. The pain of Orion’s clawing through me came back. I didn’t even realize how Orion’s presence had been weighing heavily on me, but now that he was gone, I was finally able
GREYCapturing the children and women while I was still here? What sort of a sick plan was that? It seemed like I’d been too easy on Orion for him to think he could get away with that. Well, he had another thing coming. “Are the weapons ready?” “Yes, Alpha!” My army of wolves chorused. I got up from where I was and led them toward Orion Pack. They planned to evade ours anyway, why shouldn’t we do the same to them? When we arrived, not only were Orion’s wolves waiting, but also the rogues. “You could have chosen to do this in a better way, you know that Alpha Orion? You just had to get on my nerves.” I looked at the wolves and they didn’t waste any time in lighting the Pack up. We were going to be exactly like the rogues this evening and no-fucking-body was going to stop us. “Do you think I’m going to give in?” Alpha Orion roared from his balcony, his eyes glowing red with rage. “We will fight back!” His wolves were taken aback by his sudden change in attitude, even the Pack members
BLOOMGrey and I followed after Ray to find out what he was talking about, and were met with a shocking scene. He led us into a room, and as he closed the door behind us. Other than a lamp on the table, it was completely dark. But that wasn’t the surprising part. That would be Angie tied to a chair. Turning sideways slightly to look at Grey, I thought, What plan did they have up their sleeves this time?“I just found out the truth,” Ray said. “The child in her womb isn’t yours, Alpha Grey, she has only been trying to get you to marry her.” It was a blatant lie but Ray had no idea we knew the truth. Where was he headed with this? I looked at him briefly before fixing my gaze back on Angie. What did they have up their sleeves now?“She lied about you getting her pregnant so her child can take ownership of your seat before anyone else’s,” Ray added, and while I already knew this, it didn’t stop me feeling angry. Leaning forward, I grabbed her jaw, looking her in the eyes. It was then I
GREY“You know who this letter is from, Grey. I gave you an option of leaving your Pack peacefully, I guess you have turned down my kindness. Now I have no choice but to show you what I can do. Need I remind you that before now I’ve known and watched you for years? It goes without saying that I know your moves, every single one of them. I’ll invade your Pack relentlessly. Take this letter as a warning of what is to come. You’ve been a thorn in my side right from the time I used to be under your command. I made plans I was sure would completely destroy you and your Pack. How you survived remains a miracle… No, I’m certain your pretty little mate helped you with that. I should have stabbed you harder that day in the forest. Anyways, as you might already know, Leo, Stephan, and I plotted your downfall with the help of the Alpha of Orion. He supported us, giving us the power we needed to destroy your Pack. Now, I won’t back down until you’re six feet below the earth, Grey, and this time
BLOOMAs I shared what I heard with Grey, he stared straight at the wall with an expression of fury. Who could blame him for that reaction when he just found out the woman who claimed to be carrying his child, a child he had been fully prepared to accept, was lying to him? And not just that, but the actual father happened to be his Beta, Ray. “I knew there was something off about him.”I sat next to him, placing my hand on top of his. “Please before handling this case, you need to first be calm.”He turned to me with an angry look, but I knew it wasn’t directed at me. “He’s trying to have you by all means. You don’t expect me to sit and watch.”“We have more pressing matters at hand, Grey. They might have plotted against you, but they’re not dumb to believe they don’t need you. Think about it. The issue of the rogues is still on the ground so they can’t act without thinking. They’ll have to wait for the right time,” I explained. “Let’s also be strategic. I understand how you feel. I a
BLOOMUpon getting back to the Pack with Grey, I had reached the top of the stairs when I heard a feminine exclamation and turned around to see Angie clinging to Grey like a damsel in distress. Grey’s face was pulled back as he looked at her with disdain. Physical touches in general made him uncomfortable, so to be touched by someone he didn’t like must feel highly unpleasant.“I’ve not been feeling good these days, and still, you don’t pay me any attention. Do you still not believe the child I’m carrying is yours?”My hands squeezed into fists by my side and I gritted my teeth as I watched Angie caress Grey’s arms while batting her eyelashes. I was about to walk down the stairs and pull her away from him when someone caught my arm. Looking back, I saw Rich shaking his head at me. He seemed to know that if I got close enough to her, I might kill her. I couldn’t stand watching her do that to him. Just as I wanted to pull out of Rich’s hold, a growl echoed in the air and everything wen
