Flashing Dinding

Kania, tiga puluh tahun, memilih hidup dalam keheningan sejak patah yang tak ia bicarakan. Ia tak mencari cinta. Bahkan tubuhnya pun sudah lama lupa rasanya disentuh dengan sungguh-sungguh. Hingga Arsa pindah ke unit sebelah. Pria asing yang pulang larut, jarang bicara, tapi punya suara berat yang menggema di dinding tipis. Setiap malam, jarak mereka tak lebih dari satu tembok. Setiap pagi, tubuh Kania bangun dengan denyut yang tak bisa dijelaskan. Apa yang awalnya hanya suara—pelan-pelan menjadi obsesi. Dan obsesi itu, tanpa mereka sadari, saling tumbuh dari dua arah. Tapi kedekatan fisik tak pernah sesederhana yang terlihat. Ada luka yang belum selesai, ada batas yang mudah kabur saat malam terlalu lama, dan ada rahasia yang hanya muncul di antara ciuman dan bisikan paling sunyi.

“What are you?” The mighty and powerful Alpha King breathed out in shock and confusion. “I-I d-don't know.” I whispered shakily, my lips trembling, lying through my teeth. “Y-you are not meant to exist.” He said disoriented. “You shouldn't exist.” He said stronger, his eyes flashing with uncertainty. Before I could respond, my eyes shone bright red and a shrill scream pulled at the tips of my lips. ‘Help me.’ was all I could breathe out.

Gideon Hart, a man known for keeping every woman at arm's length, gets drugged and wakes up in a hotel with me lying beside him. Afterward, he comes to me and offers ten million as compensation. When I remain silent, my best friend, Lena Quimby, jumps in like she's been waiting for her cue. She snaps that money can't buy everything, trying to reject the offer on my behalf. Before I can say a word, comments start flashing before me like a live stream chat. "Here we go! The male lead, the female lead, and the side character are all on screen together!" "Lena's so classy. Way better than that gold-digger Evelyn." "Watch Evelyn reject the money and still get clowned!" "Who wouldn't pick the sweet, innocent heroine?" Glancing at Lena's flushed cheeks and the way her eyes stick to Gideon, I almost let out a cold laugh. Then, I turn to the man in front of me and hold up my Venmo QR code. "Sure. Wire it!"

“I don't care if she’s human,” Alaric growled, his golden eyes flashing with a predatory light. “She is mine. And I will tear down anyone—wolf or man—who tries to take her.” Juniper didn't believe in monsters. As a simple herbalist living on the edge of the Iron-Wood, her biggest worry was making rent and keeping her plants alive. But when encounters a midnight-black wolf in the forest, her quiet life is shattered. Alaric Sterling is the Alpha of the Iron-Wood Pack. Cold, powerful, and under pressure to choose a high-ranking mate, he has spent years resisting the council’s demands. He didn’t want a political match. He wanted a miracle. He found it in Juniper. The problem? Juniper has no idea werewolves exist. To her, Alaric is just a mysterious, possessive stranger with eyes that seem to see right through her. One bond. Two different worlds. As rival packs scent a weakness and a jealous she-wolf plots her downfall, Juniper must decide: Can a human truly survive the kiss of a wolf? Or will the shadows of the Iron-Wood consume her?

Axel leans down, his breath brushing against my ear. At first, he bites lightly, just enough to make my breath hitch. Then, his voice slips into a whisper, “I’ll give you a warning, Hazel." He says so slowly and deeply. And then he continues, "Don’t ever raise your hand at me again. Do you understand?” I force myself to look up at him. I don’t know where the strength comes from, but I manage to say, “Or what, Axel? What are you going to do?” His eyes darken, something sharp flashing behind them. For a second, I can’t tell if I’ve shocked him, impressed him, or made him furious. ****** The Don is a strong, cold, powerful man. His voice alone makes men tremble. Ruthless. Powerful. Precise.

Suara tangisan itu menyakitkan gendang telingaku, kupejamkan mata dan menutup telingaku erat-erat, samar-samar aku mendengar dia menghentikan tangisannya. Aku mencoba merayap dan meraba dinding kusam itu, mencoba mengintip. Kenapa setiap aku menangis dibalik bilik ini dia selalu mengikutiku? Seolah-olah ingin mengatakan kepadaku, bahwa aku tidak pernah sendirian menangis di bilik ini. Kali ini aku memberanikan diri untuk mengetuk pintu disebalah bilik yang selalu kujadikan tempat bersembunyi ini. Kreeeekk.... Suara kayu dari pintu yang sudah lapuk itu membuat bulu kudukku meremang. Sosok itu membuat airmataku kering menatapnya, tubuhku kaku seolah-olah darah tidak mengalir ditubuhku,sosok perempuan yang meringkuk itu menghentikan tangisannya, mendongak menatapku, walaupun diam tetapi aku bisa merasakan sesuatu yang menakutkan, seragamnya sangat lusuh, kulit putihnya seperti menahan dingin, mata itu kosong dan terus menatapku, seolah-olah dia tidak menerima kehadiranku didalam bilik kumuh ini.
