Bunga Wolfsbane

Lucas Fenrir was the son of the Alpha of the Silvertail Pack, born as the pack's greatest pride. When his Luna and first love, Nara Boris, chose to leave, he married me in a fit of rage—the most unremarkable Omega in the pack. Everyone said I was just a substitute for Nara. They were waiting to see me abandoned, to see me cry, and to see me beg on my knees. Nonetheless, I always smiled and calmly fulfilled Lucas' every demand. I helped him stabilize the pack's morale, stood up for him in public, and even defended him against the rumors that he had rekindled his past romance with Nara. Until one day, I saw him on the streets during the Moon Goddess Festival. He was holding Nara, kissing her deeply. Meanwhile, I simply turned my head away in silence from behind the crowd and pretended I saw nothing. A few months later, I was diagnosed with wolfsbane poisoning that had spread to my nervous system. My condition was beyond saving. I was admitted to the ICU of the pack's hospital, with only a few days left to live. Lucas came when he heard the news. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared and grabbed my dying body. "Why didn't you tell me? Why are you trying to die alone in secret?" I looked at his unhinged expression, my gaze as gentle as it had always been. There was even a faint mocking smile curling at my lips. "Lucas, I've never loved you. "The one I loved… was actually your twin brother—Derrick."

Tumibok ang inosenteng puso ni Annabelle sa murang edad na disi-nuebe sa sundalong nadestino sa probinsiya nila—si Lt. Luis Miguel Saavedra. “You look perfect tonight, sweetheart.” Nakangiti ang malamlam na mga mata ng binata na nakatitig kay Annabelle. Hinawi nito ang ilang hibla ng buhok na nakalaylay sa pisngi niya at inipit iyon sa likod ng tainga. “Bagay na bagay sa iyo ang pangalan mo.” Sa kabila ng siyam na taong agwat ng kanilang edad ay naiparamdam nila sa isa’t isa ang kanilang tunay na pagmamahalan. Nanumpa ng pag-ibig na walang hanggan. Ngunit isang hindi inaasahang dagok ang dumating, bunga nito ay ang masaklap na paghihiwalayan. Ngayong nagtagpo silang muli, makakaya kayang harapin ng dalaga ang bagong Miguel? Makakaya niya kayang harapin ang mga titig nitong puno ng pagkasuklam at mapagparusang pakikitungo sa kaniya?  

Cinta tak memilih status, bahkan saat hatimu sudah hancur berkeping-keping. "Aku janda, Kiwi. Punya masa lalu, punya luka. Masih mau jatuh cinta sama aku?" "Aku bukan cari yang sempurna, Melon. Aku cari yang nyata." Kiwi Arsenio—pria mapan, tampan, dan jadi rebutan banyak wanita—jatuh cinta bukan pada wanita muda yang menggoda, tapi pada Melon Zavira, janda satu anak yang lebih suka menghabiskan waktu di rumah sambil menanam bunga daripada pamer di media sosial. Namun cinta mereka tidak semudah resep smoothie. Masa lalu Melon yang kelam dan keluarga Kiwi yang penuh tuntutan membuat hubungan ini seperti buah yang belum matang—butuh kesabaran, pengorbanan, dan keberanian untuk bisa dinikmati. Mampukah Kiwi bertahan demi cinta yang tak biasa ini? Atau justru Melon yang akan mundur, demi melindungi hati yang pernah retak?

The scent of pine and damp earth clung to the air as the full moon created long shadows across the Ancient Clearing. Tonight, was supposed to be our marking ceremony, a sacred ritual binding Alpha Anderson and his chosen Luna before the eyes of the Frostmoon Pack. “My heart,” his gaze locked on Leah, who stood under the moonlight “has always belonged to another. My first love, the one whose spirit has been weakened by the venom of wolfsbane, is my Luna.” He drew Leah closer, his hand possessively circling her waist. Under the watchful gaze of the moon, he smiled. “Our traditions are clear,” he continued, “Only the woman who stands with me at this altar, witnessed by all, shall be my Luna. Though I had always thought that Irene was my mate which I mistakenly marked a time ago. But thanks to the goddess for making me see clearly before it was too late.” They exchanged vows beneath the trees, witnessed by the werewolves and the Moon Goddess. The silver crowns were placed, the ceremonial kiss sealed their bond. I stood hidden in the shadows of the surrounding forest. For twelve years, from the moment my wolf recognized his at eighteen until my thirtieth moon cycle, my love for Anderson had never changed. But his heart, it was clear, belonged to Leah. If that was the truth, then I would release him. He had never truly seen me, never truly cared. Yet, the act of my departure seemed to unravel him in ways I couldn’t understand.

My twin sister Elena and I were mated to the Alpha twins. Only the first pup born between my sister and me would become the pack’s Alpha heir. My sister got pregnant a month before me and she was supposed to give birth to the heir first, but I went into labor prematurely a month early. But when I was about to give birth, I chose to sit in a chamber filled with special potions that suppresses contractions. Because in my previous life, my Alpha mate Marcus had dragged me into wolfsbane-laced water to delay my labor. In the end, both my pup and I had died there. The agony had been unbearable. I'd sobbed and pleaded, begging him to explain why he was doing this to me. But he'd ignored my cries completely. All he cared about was rushing Elena to the pack's birthing den. "My brother Gabriel died saving my life," he'd snarled at me then. "The only way to honor that blood debt is to ensure his child becomes the pack heir. You can resent Elena all you want on any other day, but not today. Just hold on a little longer." "This is a special potion. You'll be safe and sound. Trust me!" Safe？ I'd suffered in that basement chamber for an entire day and night. My child suffocated in my womb while the wolfsbane poisoning consumed me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day of my labor. This time, I have to save myself.

Sebatang pohon persik akan segera berubah wujud menjadi seorang manusia. Guru laki-laki tua dengan tongkat kayu di tangannya menyentuh pohon persik dengan telapak tangannya, sambil berkata, "Ingat namamu adalah Lian, kamu adalah peri bunga, pemilik jantung Dewa Naga," Tidak lama kemudian pohon itu berubah wujud menjadi seorang wanita cantik jelita.
