Elio Perlman

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.”

"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.
