LOGIN“It’s her I want”. Aurelius, the ruthless alpha of the Crescent Pack was pointing directly at me. His eyes, piercing and intense, locked onto mine in a challenging manner. Seraphine Everhart’s family had been massacred when she was barely six years during a pack war between her pack and the Nightshade Pack. Aurelius Vortigen, the alpha of the most ancient and feared Crescent Pack is cold, cruel and didn’t have a problem living up to his title as the ‘Ferocious Alpha’ even when Seraphine waltzed into his life. Seraphine who was lucky to survive and work as a slave in the Nightshade Pack had everything she needed, a decent boyfriend, a woman that loved her like a daughter and amazing friends but when the alpha plans to form an alliance with the Crescent Pack, everything she had spent 15 years building came crashing down from the storm of Aurelius’ presence. She hated him from their first meeting and when he selected her as a gift, she rejected him as her mate. He also didn’t want her, but he didn’t want to let her go. Suspending on an empty space, that was how he kept her, a pawn in a game she never wanted to play. “I, Seraphine Everhart, reject you as my mate”, my voice was firm and loud. Enough for Aurelius to hear, but not quite enough for him to take me seriously. He let out a cold laugh that made me flinch in fear. Then he finally said, “I, Aurelius Vortigen, alpha of the Crescent Pack, do not accept your rejection.” “Don’t you get it love, you’re mine and you can’t let go of me that easily”. On saying that, he grabbed my chin firmly and smashed his lip against mine.

“Kenapa nggak bilang kalau lo punya janji di rumah? Dua minggu lagi ada touring lain. Harusnya kita bisa ikut yang itu aja. Gue jadi nggak enak, Prabu …. Kan gue yang ngajak. Ck!” Satria mengacungkan tinjunya. “Gue cuma kasian sama duda kalau nggak ada yang nemenin. Coba Roman doyan motor dan masuk club kita. Bisa berduaan terus lo berdua karena berstatus pria single,” seru Prabu lagi. “Roman, sih, doyannya night club, bukan club motor!” balas Satria, terbahak di motornya. “Atau sekali-kali lo ikut Roman ke night club. Biar aura lajang Roman nular. Lo nggak kayak duda anak satu lagi!” Prabu lalu tertawa terbahak-bahak. Setengah jam saling berbalas omongan, jalan yang ditempuh semakin mendaki. Permainan gas, kopling dan rem dilakukan dengan handal oleh peserta tour agar motor tetap stabil di tanjakan. Jalan berliku-liku dan mereka nyaris tiba di titik istirahat pertama saat hujan mulai turun. Awalnya hujan tipis, namun kemudian semakin deras. Airnya meluncur membasahi jaket kulit yang membalut rapat tubuh mereka. Dua pria bertubuh nyaris sama tinggi dan tegapnya saling pandang. Satria melirik langit. Terlihat awan gelap bergulung makin menebal. Di sisi kirinya, Prabu menoleh sambil tertawa kecil. "Gas, nggak?" "Tunggu reda dikit, Bu. Anginnya kenceng banget. Neduh dulu, yuk.” Satria menyalakan lampu sen, menuju bawah jembatan kecil. Satria tidak punya firasat apa pun. Pagi itu semuanya normal dan semuanya baik-baik saja. Prabu ada janji dengan keluarga kecilnya dan ia sendiri berjanji akan menjemput Nayla; putrinya di rumah mantan istrinya. Akhir pekan adalah giliran ia menjalankan co-parenting untuk gadis kecil semata wayangnya. Bagi Satria sendiri, ia merasa tidak ada yang berbeda dengannya. Prabu juga cerita seperti biasa. Kecuali kalau boleh dibilang agak berbeda, Prabu memang kadang-kadang diam dan mengecek ponselnya sedikit lebih lama. Prabu kadang berdecak dan menghela napas panjang. Meski sepintas, Satria melihat perubahan wajah sahabatnya itu. “Ada masalah?” tanya Satria saat mereka berdiri bersisian di bawah jembatan. “Nggak adalah. Memangnya muka gue keliatan muka pria ada masalah?” Prabu meninju lengan Satria sambil tertawa. Sama cerianya seperti kemarin-kemarin. "Itu yang lain udah pada jalan. Ada iring-iringan club mobil juga kayaknya. Kita ikut aja. Biar cepet sampai." Prabu naik ke motor dan menyalakannya. "Udah, santai aja. Kita nggak perlu nyusulin yang lain. Masih deras,” kata Satria, berjalan ke tepi jembatan dan mendongak. “Ayo, deh. Gue nggak mau kalau Sheza dan Dio nunggu gue kelamaan.” Prabu bersiap-siap memakai sarung tangannya. Satria meraih lengan Prabu, menahannya. Rautnya jadi ikut gelisah. “Lo tuh, ya. Kalau memang ada janji sama Sheza dan Dio harusnya nggak perlu iyain kalau gue ajak. Asli gue jadi kasian sama mereka. Mau digas sekarang juga jalanan licin, Bu.” Jawaban Prabu saat itu hanya mengangkat bahu. Ia menepuk lengan Satria sebelum melaju. “Ayo, Sat! Gue tinggal juga, nih,” katanya. Entah karena memang firasat, atau entah karena ia yang ingin menghabiskan waktu sedikit lebih lama untuk bercakap-cakap sesama pria. Yang jelas, tak ada alasan lagi untuk berdiri di bawah jembatan kecil itu tanpa Prabu. Satria segera menyalakan motor dan melesat untuk memperpendek jarak dengan sahabatnya. Tikungan sempit. Aspal basah. Kabut putih menelan pandangan. Satria menahan napas. Ia tak melihat lampu belakang motor Prabu. Tangan kanannya menekan gas tapi kemudian urung karena dari arah berlawanan terlihat padat. Ketika pikiran ragu-ragu itu muncul, sebuah bunyi memekakkan telinga membuat matanya terpejam sepersekian detik. BRAAAK! Raungan klakson panjang. Suara besi menghantam besi. Suara yang membuat ulu hati siapa pun mencelos. Satria baru saja keluar dari tikungan ketika dunia dirasanya melambat. Ia melihat sesuatu terlempar ke udara. Sebentuk siluet yang sangat ia kenal. Helm pecah dan serpihannya melayang bersama air hujan. Mata Satria tertuju pada sesuatu. Motor Prabu yang menghantam pembatas jalan, lalu tergilas keras oleh truk kontainer yang tak sempat mengerem. Dentuman logam menggemuruh membuat detik itu tangannya reflek menarik rem. Semua kendaraan di depannya kini terhenti dan gaduh. Satria melompat turun dari motornya. Jantungnya berdebar tak karuan. Ia berlari dengan teriakan tanpa suara. Tak tahu harus berlari ke mana. Darah di mana-mana. Helm Prabu pecah. Ringsek. Tangannya terangkat ke atas. Gemetar menggapai udara. Memegangi kepalanya dengan linglung. “PRABU!” jerit Satria. “Prabu …!” Satria kembali menjerit. Tubuh sahabatnya itu tergeletak di bawah truk. Masih bernapas. Ia masih melihat Prabu menghela napas meski kepayahan. Matanya separuh terbuka. Bibirnya terbuka pelan. Mencoba mengatakan sesuatu yang tak bisa ditangkap telinga. “Tolong! Tolong!” jerit Satria, meraba-raba ponsel dan menekan nomor darurat yang bisa diingatnya saat itu. ***** (IGD Rumah Sakit Pinggiran Kota) Satria berdiri membeku. Bajunya basah kuyup. Sepatunya berlumpur. Jaket kulitnya tertempel bercak darah yang sudah mengering. Sejak tadi tatapannya tak beranjak dari sosok tampan yang kini bergeming dengan wajah penuh luka lecet. Bagian sisi kanan kepalanya ada jahitan besar. Seorang dokter menutup catatan medis, suaranya datar. “Kepalanya parah, ada pendarahan masif. Kami sudah berusaha, Pak.” Kalimat itu seperti palu godam, tapi Satria bergeming. Rahangnya mengeras, matanya memerah. Ia hanya menatap kain putih yang kini menutupi sahabatnya hingga dada. Tangan Prabu sudah rapi disedekapkan. Suster berjalan pelan ke arahnya. "Bapak kenal korban?" Satria mengangguk seraya menelan ludah. Rahangnya tiba-tiba saja mengeras. "Saya kenal istrinya. Biar saya yang kasih tau,” ucapnya. Entah sudah berapa kali ia mengusap wajahnya sejak tadi. Air mata yang berusaha dihalaunya tak kunjung berhenti. “Bapak telepon atau kita….” “Saya yang kabari langsung. Saya ke rumahnya sekarang.” Satria menggigit bibir bawahnya. “Sekalian urus surat-suratnya juga,” tambahnya pelan. Kali ini sepertinya ia harus benar-benar meninggalkan perawat itu. …Aurelius POV“Okay, we have one last thing to take care of”, My beta, Lynch told me from behind as I exited my office.I ran my hands through my hair in frustration, and gave a low growl, but didn’t bother answering. He also didn’t push it as he had guessed that now is not the time.No time is ever the time this period in fact, the pack had been busy since the last moon fall ceremony, and as the alpha, I had lots of things to do, papers to sign, alliances to take care of, and also pack matters to look into.I had a beta to help but it was still a lot to handle, especially since the last alpha died, which is my dad. Everything had been placed on my shoulders and I had to show that I’m a responsible alpha, capable enough to handle the biggest and strongest pack among all wolves.It had not always been like this for my pack, The Crescent Pack, in fact, it had never been like this since the Great War. But when we started receiving intel on the humans and the existence of their new allies,
“Mate”, I whispered in disbelief and my wolf howled in joy. It was true, I could almost feel his wolf’s presence as I just realized that I’ve sealed the first step in the mate bonding.Confirmation Wait..but I have a boyfriend. I don’t need a mate.I shook my head taking a step back but he held me and brought me close to him, then buried his head in my neck trying to take my scent in.He growled lightly then brought his head up back with an angry expression, “you were with another man earlier”, his voice was disapproving and I became scared.What if he finds out it was Ryan? Then I’m in dead trouble.“I-“, before I could speak, he dragged me out of the ballroom to an empty hallway and pushed me against a wall aggressively.Then he demanded, “tell me why my mate has been with another man”. His scowl made me cower and I swallowed in fear. I don’t know who this man was but I could feel that he was very powerful, mate or not, he could snap my neck in the blink of an eye.“I have a boyfri
The ballroom was the pack house’s center room decorated fancily by the maids. Not that it was not good, the maids were really good and it felt like an actual ballroom with its fancy decors and the lights. It was really golden, yeah… because that was kind of the theme, it was a golden ball. What I did not certainly expect was for every one there to be wearing gold colored dresses or similar colors like beige, cream, off-white, I was the only one that wore a bright red color and it felt odd, I stuck out like a sore thumb. It was not hard to find Ava, who was by no surprise sitting at the snack table but holding a bottle of champagne. Ava was no typical alpha’s airhead daughter, she was blonde, and she was wild, also very smart and daring, I spent most of my time covering for her, I had to or else, I’ll be in big trouble. But she was very nice and loving, we were really close and she tells me every pack gossip, like how Jamie just aborted another pup, or how Luke was banging a human gu
I could the feel the heat as it scorched my skin, I could almost see the heat as I stared into the fiery red abyss ahead of me. It was coming closer, creating a sense of panic in me, I retreated quickly and started running away.Everywhere I turned, there was fire, the whole village was slowly catching fire, I stopped, looked around frantically, people were falling one by one, loud cries deafened my ears as I moved back shaking my head in disbelieve. The once beautiful scenery was black, and red…fiery red and it was coming even closer. I took to my heels again and ran for my life.Then I saw my father, with my mother. I went to hug them, “mom, what’s going on?”. I stared up at her expecting answers but the sight of her blackened face staring down at me made me scream. My dad’s face too was burnt, I staggered back and looked around, everywhere around me was full of ashes, smoke and fire.I ran. Without looking back. I ran for my life, the approaching fire behind me closing in on me. I
