Costume Festival

The night of our mating ceremony, my destined Alpha, Alex, basically tossed a three-year temporary mate bond agreement at me. He said he only had eyes for one wolf girl, Lily, an Omega. He told me he’d wait until the day he was in charge of the pack, then he’d personally cut our mate bond. Lily would be his one and only. That was until Lily had a huge fight with him and just up and vanished. Alex, after too many nights drowning his sorrows, accidentally marked me. It seemed like he was finally starting to get that I was his real mate. He even started willingly holding me as we fell asleep. Just when I thought Alex had totally accepted me, Lily came back. To save Lily’s mom, Alex didn’t think twice about giving up his own precious life force. To make Lily happy, he publicly shamed me at the Moon Festival, even snatching the only moonstone bracelet my grandma had left me. Lily smashed the bracelet, and my heart broke right along with it. On our third bonding anniversary, Alex booked my favorite restaurant, wanting to say sorry. But what he didn't know was that I’d already broken our mate bond. I wasn't going back.

Pada hari Festival Perahu Naga, suamiku yang berprofesi sebagai direktur rumah sakit lagi-lagi berkata bahwa dia mendapat beberapa jadwal operasi darurat. Jadi, dia tidak bisa ikut pergi mengunjungi orang tuaku. Namun, ketika aku membuka Instagram beberapa saat kemudian, aku melihatnya sedang menyembelih kambing untuk pesta di desa asistennya. Keterangan di konten itu berbunyi sebagai berikut. [ Ibu bilang punya menantu seorang dokter memang menyenangkan, menyembelih kambing pun begitu cekatan. ] Aku hanya mendengus dan menekan tombol like, lalu menuliskan komentar. [ Namanya juga profesional. ] Para rekan kerjaku heboh di setiap grup. Semuanya mengira kali ini aku akan mengamuk pada suamiku. Suamiku langsung menelepon. Aku bisa membayangkan dia sedang mengernyit dengan ekspresi tak sabar di wajahnya sekarang. Andy berkata, "Ini hari penting di desa Nikki. Aku hanya datang untuk membantu mereka. Apa maksudmu sindir-sindir begitu? Nggak ada laki-laki di keluarganya yang bisa membantu dalam acara besar seperti ini. Aku hanya bantu-bantu, apa yang perlu kamu ributkan?" "Cepat hapus like dan komentarmu, jangan buat Nikki canggung di rumah sakit. Kamu dengar, 'kan? Setelah pulang nanti, aku baru luangkan waktu untuk menemanimu pulang kampung, oke?" tambahnya lagi. Selalu alasan yang sama. Andy berulang kali memberiku janji-janji kosong. Kali ini, aku sudah muak dan habis kesabaran. Setelah hari Festival Perahu Naga berlalu dan surat cerai didapatkan, pernikahan kami selama tujuh tahun pun akan berakhir sepenuhnya.

Marking a rejected mate came with a price. His power weakened. Forced into a bond with me, he despised me. For two years, I bled for him. I did 100 impossible things, just hoping for a single glance. I snuck into forbidden lands for rare herbs. I negotiated with enemy packs. I fought on the front lines for him in pack wars, always coming back covered in scars.

Le père de Yannick m'a appelée pour me demander de prévenir Yannick, mon ami d'enfance et héritier de l'Alpha, de rentrer à la maison afin de rencontrer son partenaire de mariage arrangé. Mais Yannick était torse nu et dormait profondément à côté de moi. Je pensais qu'il s'agissait d'une blague, alors j'ai poussé Yannick et lui ai dit en riant : « Yannick, ils disent t'avoir trouvé une fiancée. Qu'en penses-tu ? » Il a soulevé un sourcil, m'a enlacé la taille avec nonchalance : « Chérie, alors choisis-moi un costume élégant. Je suis sûr que ton goût sera impressionner ma fiancée. » Voyant que je restais figée sans rien dire, Yannick a ouvert les yeux avec un rire moqueur. « Hé, Fiona, quelle est cette réaction ? On n'est que des partenaires sexuels, tu pensais que je t'épouserais pour faire de toi ma Luna ? »

Lors du banquet de noces, Clément Duchamp est arrivé en retard, vêtu du costume du témoin, tenant son premier amour par le bras, tandis qu'il avait jeté avec désinvolture le costume du marié sur le canapé. « Clément, ce n'est pas notre mariage aujourd'hui… » « Jade Bernard ! » Clément m'a interrompue sèchement, les yeux pleins de menace. « Tu sais ce que tu peux dire ou non. Sois digne, ne me pousse pas à te détester. » J'ai esquissé un rire amer. L'ex de Clément avait perdu la mémoire, tout le monde jouait avec elle à un jeu de souvenirs retrouvés, alors personne ne devait la heurter. Pour m'apaiser, Clément m'a prise dans ses bras et m'a murmuré à l'oreille : « Jade, tu peux me comprendre, n'est-ce pas ? » J'ai hoché la tête pour lui montrer que je comprenais, puis je me suis tournée pour prendre la main du vrai témoin et entrer avec lui dans le sanctuaire du mariage. Plus tard, alors que je faisais des achats enceinte au centre commercial, il m'a arrêtée, les yeux pleins de larmes : « Jade, on jouait un rôle, non ? Comment as-tu pu tomber enceinte ? »

I am the orphaned hybrid of a vampire and a werewolf. After my parents died, I was sent to the Silvermoon Pack, taken in by a distant relative on my father's side. They had three sons—triplets—each carrying the noble Alpha bloodline. In public, they were the epitome of grace and charm. But behind closed doors, they were my living nightmare. They despised me. To them, my blood was a stain, my existence a mistake. But in their world, I was more than just an outcast—I was prey. They made a bet: who would be the first to have me? To them, it wasn't just about desire. It was about possession, control. A way to chain me to them, to turn me into their plaything. They drugged me and watched as I collapsed at their feet, powerless, theirs to toy with as they pleased. In the end, they ruined me. Smeared my name until the whole pack sneered at me. Then came the bonfire festival. They tricked me away from the crowd and threw me into a pit—a collapsed silver mine, its air thick with toxic silver dust. Torches rained down, their flames licking at the walls, while the silver seeped into my body. It poisoned me slowly. Bit by bit, my body unraveled. And finally, my consciousness dissolved into the dark. But when I opened my eyes again, everything had reset. I had returned to the beginning. One of the triplets, Reine, smirked as he leaned in, his voice laced with amusement. "Ayla, what a beautiful name. May I invite you to the bonfire festival?" The bonfire festival? Of course. This time, let's make it your last night.

Le jour de mon mariage, tout aurait dû être parfait. Je devais avancer vers l’autel, sourire, les yeux pleins d’amour pour Adrian, l’homme qui m’a sauvée, celui qui m’a fait croire en un avenir meilleur. Mais quand mon regard s’est perdu parmi les invités, mon cœur s’est arrêté. Là, assis au premier rang, un homme que je n’avais jamais pensé revoir. Un homme dont le regard m’a traversée comme une lame. Un homme que je connaissais trop bien… **Mon ancien client.** Celui avec qui j’avais passé cette nuit, des années plus tôt. Et aujourd’hui, il était là, devant moi, portant un costume élégant, une expression impassible… Parce qu’il était le père d’Adrian. Mon futur beau-père. Comment était-ce possible ? Que devais-je faire ? Tout avouer ? Faire semblant de ne pas le reconnaître ? Et surtout… que se passerait-il si Adrian découvrait la vérité ? Mon mariage venait-il de s’effondrer avant même d’avoir commencé ?
