Aba Aba Lari

I'm Kennedy, the pack's recognized Luna, and Tyler's fated mate—or so I foolishly believed. That day, the pregnancy test burned in my palm as I traced the tiny life growing inside me, my heart swelling with secret joy. But that joy turned to ash outside the club on that rainy night. Brenda's back—the woman who saved his life, the one he chose without hesitation over me. He grew colder by the day, letting her friends call me a FAKE LUNA to my face, even saying he wanted to reject our mate bond. I clung to my pregnancy like it was my last shred of dignity, terrified that if I spoke up, all I'd hear was his icy command-- "Abort it." He left me soaking in the rain, ignored me when I was burning with fever, and let me be humiliated, let me be pressured. But he forgot— I'm Kennedy, not some fragile vine that bends to his will. He'll pay the most brutal price for that stupid mistake!

It is the third year of the apocalypse. All water sources have been thoroughly polluted, making even a single bottle of clean water extremely rare. Every base has to send out search teams to find new water sources for all. My husband, Jasper Curran, is a geologist, and so, he is able to locate water sources that are still pure and unpolluted. However, when someone holds a knife to my throat for the last bottle of water—thinking that he will do anything to stop them—he hands the only bottle of clean water to Avery Grayson, the person who claimed she was my parents' real daughter instead of me. "Ave is thirsty. She's been suffering since she was little and she even had her parents taken by you, Arianne Grayson," Jasper says. "Just let her have the water." Jasper's expression is too calm and collected, as if my life is not on the line because of him. "They're just trying to scare you. You've enjoyed so many years of being spoiled with a luxurious lifestyle anyway. So what if you get bullied a little?" The people then kick me to the ground in a fit of rage as I watch Jasper huddle Avery into his arms and disappear into the desert. I get beaten up so hard that my chapped lips crack and start bleeding once again. I look at the menacing faces around me and quickly exclaim, "Wait, wait! I can help you find clean water too!"

Nalaman ko na buntis ako kasabay ng childhood sweetheart ng asawa ko na si Rosa. Para protektahan ang kanyang anak mula sa pagpapaabort, sinabi ng asawa ko na anak niya iyon. Sa anak ko? Pinagaan niya ang loob ko, sinabi niya na aangkinin lang niya ang bata kapag isinalang na ito. Kinumpronta ko siya, gusto ko malaman kung bakit niya ito ginagawa sa akin. Malamig at walang alinlangan ang sagot niya: “Ang angkinin ang baby ang tanging paraan para protektahan sila pareho. Hindi ko hahayaan na may mangyari sa kanya o sa baby niya.” Sa oras na iyon, habang nakatingin ako sa lalaki na minahal ko ng sampung taon, napagtanto ko na namatay na ang pag-ibig ko para sa kanya. Hindi nagtagal, kinundena ako ng pamilya ko, tinatawag akong pokpok dahil nagkaanak ako ng wala itong ama at pinressure ako na magpa-abort. Samantala, nasa ibang lungsod naman ang asawa ko, kasama ang sweetheart niya, tinutulungan siya sa kanyang pagdadalantao. Sa oras na nakabalik siya, nakaalis na ako.

Setelah aku mengambil cuti sekolah, orang tuaku tidak mendesak apa pun. Namun sahabat masa kecil pacarku yang memasang citra sebagai si genius ber-IQ tinggi justru menelepon. Karena aku sedang sibuk turun ke sawah bekerja, menanam sayur dan bermain air, sama sekali tidak punya waktu menulis kode. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, sahabat masa kecil itu mengirimkan rancangan program yang sama persis dengan rancanganku satu hari lebih awal. Semua orang memaki aku tak tahu malu, menuduhku menjiplak dan memalsukan. Aku berusaha menjelaskan, tetapi sama sekali tidak ada yang percaya. Kemudian sahabat masa kecil itu bahkan membuka siaran langsung, memfitnahku melakukan perundungan di kampus. Mereka dengan gila-gilaan melakukan perundungan daring terhadap seluruh keluargaku. Akhirnya orang tuaku, saat mengemudi untuk menghindari para warganet ekstrem, mengalami kecelakaan dan tewas. Aku tidak sanggup menanggung pukulan itu, lalu melompat dari gedung tinggi dan tewas dengan penyesalan yang tak terpadamkan. Hingga detik terakhir sebelum kesadaranku lenyap, aku tetap tidak mengerti apa sebenarnya yang terjadi. Jelas itu hasil jerih payahku, mengapa justru orang lain yang lebih dulu merilisnya. Saat aku membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke sehari sebelum insiden penjiplakan itu terjadi.

Everyone knew that the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack loved his mate more than anything. I once thought I would be the luckiest Luna in the world. That was until six months ago, when my father’s illegitimate daughter, Ivy, returned from rogue territory. Caleb recognized her as the she-wolf who had taken a lethal blow to save him during a rogue ambush years ago. Everything changed after that. During every date, Ivy would have a "relapse" right on cue. Caleb would always offer a strained explanation about how he owed her his life. I endured it countless times, lying to myself that it was just a debt of gratitude. But at our mating ceremony, Ivy collapsed, knocking over the champagne tower. "Caleb... it hurts... my heart..." The usually composed Caleb panicked and stopped the ceremony. He looked at me with guilt. "Evelyn, Ivy’s wolf was severely injured saving me. She’s still so fragile. It’s an emergency. You’ve always been understanding—can you just let this go for now?" "Go ahead," I said calmly. "Take her to the Healer." Caleb froze, then promised hurriedly, "Once she's stable, I’ll make it up to you with an even bigger ceremony." He didn't even wait for my reply before rushing off with Ivy in his arms. I watched him leave and dialed a number I hadn't touched in years. "Alpha King Silas, I accept the five-year classified Silver Poisoning research project." When I finally disappeared, Caleb regretted everything, searching the entire world for a trace of me.
