Elio Perlman

Everyone knew Elio Carbone, Don of the Carbone family, was a cold-hearted womanizer. He had one rule: never sleep with the same woman twice. But for me, he broke it. The first day after our breakup, he stood outside the old Bianchi estate for a day and a night, his entire security detail in tow, just to win me back. The second day, he flew to Sicily and bought the deed to my family's ancestral estate at auction for triple its value, and had it delivered to me. The third day, he tattooed my favorite flower, the lily, over his heart. The tattoo artist said he refused any anesthetic and didn't make a sound. Later, at a banquet for the Five Families, in front of all the other Dons, he sliced his palm and made a blood oath. He swore loyalty only to Eleonora Bianchi for the rest of his life; if he broke his vow, he would pay with his life. After a year of his relentless pursuit, his devotion finally wore me down, and I agreed to take him back. I truly believed him then. That Elio truly loved me. Until one night. He took me to an underground racetrack to broker a deal with an ally. But in the roaring crowd, I saw a girl, trembling and crying, her clothes in tatters. Ava was shoved to the starting line. She was the wager for the death race. One look was all it took for Elio's face to darken. The next second, he dropped his hand from my waist and, without a word, walked toward the track entrance. I stood frozen, watching his back as he disappeared into the driver's seat of a modified sports car. I used to wake up crying, terrified he would lose his life in one of these reckless races. He had smashed his trophies, burned his marker for the illegal track, and sworn to God he would never again enter such a life-or-death gamble. My hand drifted to my stomach, covering the secret I hadn't yet had the chance to share. His blood oath was broken. And so was I.

As the youngest daughter of the Costellos, I had always lived in my sister’s shadow. That was until five years ago, when she betrayed the family and ran off with a street thug. I took her place and completed the wedding with Elio Ross. Over the years, he loved and indulged me, but we never got a marriage license. He always said family matters kept him busy, and that, with or without it, I was his wife in his and the family’s eyes. I believed him. Until today… I watched as Elio walked out of the church with my sister Alyssa, who had been missing for five years, both of them wearing the family rings that symbolized their union. At the church entrance, three black SUVs opened their doors simultaneously, and my three brothers stepped out in tailored suits. “The ceremony’s done? We’ve already booked Antonio’s to celebrate Alyssa’s return.” They climbed into the cars, expressing their joy, while no one noticed my pale, shattered face across the street. Later that night, under the guise of apology, my sister let a venomous spider bite me. “A substitute is always a substitute. Now that I’m back, it’s time for you to die.” I screamed for help. However, my husband and my three brothers only rushed to hold my sister, who had pretended she had fallen, without a glance at me, writhing from the poison. They called in every specialist from the hospital, only to tend to my sister’s scraped knee. That was the moment my heart truly broke. After being dragged back from death’s door by the doctors, I made my decision. I picked up the phone and called the International Private Island Exchange. “That isolated, uninhabited island… I’ll take it.”

Na noite de lua cheia, eu jazia nos territórios proibidos à beira da morte por causa do acônito devastando meu organismo. Meu companheiro Alfa, Elio Palmer, forçou meus dedos a se abrirem e arrancou o único antídoto que eu tinha. — Kelly cresceu comigo desde que éramos filhotes. Depois que os pais dela morreram, fui eu quem ficou mais próximo dela. Como Luna, você devia se sacrificar por ela. — Disse Elio. Então, Elio deu o antídoto a Kelly Giles, que foi infectada apenas com um leve traço de acônito. Logo depois, ele não hesitou em me abandonar, sua companheira quase morta, ali nos territórios proibidos. Ele achava que eu aceitaria minha morte sem qualquer ressentimento, já que me domesticou durante o tempo que passamos juntos. Mas o que ele não sabia é que o forte odor de morte não atraía nenhuma besta até mim no momento em que nosso vínculo de companheiros era completamente rompido. Em vez disso, atraía a atenção de Samuel Gray, o Rei Lycan que incutia terror bruto em todos os lobisomens da terra. Algum tempo depois, Samuel se aproximou de mim após massacrar todas as bestas nos territórios proibidos. — Depois de ser abandonada por um vira-lata inferior, é assim que pretende morrer?

"Two hundred pieces of gold." I whipped my head in the direction of the voice. It was sexy and authoritative. "No. Make it three hundred pieces of gold. I want that woman." The crowd gasped. My eyes frantically looked for that person and came face to face with a man whose hair reminded me of the ashes after burning the wood. His gray eyes bore into mine. 'Mine,' my wolf uttered. "Going once. Twice. Thrice. Sold!" Master Henderson was all smiles. "The item goes to His Majesty King Elio. You will never regret it, Your Majesty." King Elio? I knew that name. The Lycan King was my mate? ------------------------------- Flora was desperate to look for Sabrina, her sister who was suddenly missing five years ago. She believed it had something to do with the Lycan King. 'Cause why not? Their cruel custom of selling or killing unmated she-wolves every five years started because of the Lycan King.

Ulang tahun pertama Elio--putra mereka--seharusnya jadi perayaan cinta bagi Nadine dan Arvan. Namun yang datang justru duka, nisan, dan pengkhianatan. Nadine berdiri di pemakaman anaknya, menggenggam boneka beruang kecil, satu-satunya peninggalan yang masih mengandung aroma tubuh Elio. Anak itu bisa diselamatkan—kalau sang ayah, Arvan, bersedia mendonorkan sumsum. Namun yang Nadine dapatkan bukan pertolongan, melainkan penolakan dan penghinaan serta perselingkuhan dua orang terdekat. Seketika dunia Nadine runtuh, saat sebuah pesan video dari nomor tak dikenal mengungkap perselingkuhan antara Arvan dan sepupunya sendiri, Raline. Lalu, pesan lain menyusul: "Kau terlihat cantik dalam balutan duka. Lihatlah ke belakangmu." Dari situ, semuanya berubah menjadi lebih gelap. Didorong dari tangga pemakaman dan dituduh mencoba bunuh diri, Nadine terbangun di rumah sakit tanpa suara, tanpa anak, tanpa keluarga, tanpa apa-apa. Bahkan suaminya telah menceraikannya dalam keadaan koma. Dunia menghapusnya, satu demi satu. Namun ketika ia nyaris mengakhiri hidup dari rooftop rumah sakit, seorang pria asing menariknya kembali dari jurang kematian. Pria itu keras, dingin, dan penuh rahasia—tetapi juga satu-satunya orang yang tampaknya melihat Nadine … sebagai manusia, bukan sebagai tragedi berjalan. Siapa dia? Kenapa dia muncul di titik terendah hidup Nadine? Dan apa maksudnya dengan kalimat: "Kita belum selesai membicarakan tentang hidup"? Ketika luka lama terbuka dan rahasia demi rahasia terbongkar, Nadine menyadari: kematian Elio mungkin bukan akhir—melainkan awal dari sesuatu yang jauh lebih kelam.
