Timothy Blackthorn has it all. Alpha heir to the most powerful pack, hockey captain with a god-tier body, and a reputation for breaking hearts as easily as he breaks records. When the Moon Goddess reveals quiet, overlooked Penelope Hale as his destined mate, Timothy does the unthinkable: he rejects her. Publicly. Brutally. In front of thousands. Big mistake. Exiled and humiliated, Penelope finds refuge with the rival Bloodfang Pack, where she discovers two things that will change everything: she's a hockey prodigy with a killer instinct, and her "lowly" bloodline hides noble secrets that could topple kingdoms. Now she's back on the ice, leading Bloodfang to victory after victory, while Timothy's perfect life crumbles around him. His wolf is going feral without their mate. His team is losing. And the girl he threw away? She's become the most dangerous player in the league. But when pack politics turn deadly and silver daggers flash in the moonlight, Timothy and Penelope must face the truth: some bonds can't be broken, even by pride. Some love is worth fighting for. And sometimes, the mate you reject is the only one who can save you.

"His lips traced the curve of her neck, searing fire into her skin as his hands roamed, claiming every inch of her. Selene gasped, arching into him, her nails raking down his back. “Say it,” Ryker growled against her throat, his breath ragged, his body demanding. “Say you belong to me.” But she wasn’t just his. She was power itself. And tonight, she would show him exactly why." A strikingly beautiful and powerful Alpha, she was raised to lead her pack with strength and wisdom. But on the night of her ascension, she was shattered. Her fated mate—the one destined to stand beside her—rejected her. Publicly. Brutally. And in that moment, Selene broke. Or maybe… something awakened. As the humiliation settles like poison in her veins, Selene discovers a truth long buried—she is Moonborn, the child of an ancient prophecy. With power that eclipses even the strongest Alphas, she is meant to rule not just her pack, but all packs.. Then there’s him. Ryker—a rogue wolf with a past carved in blood. He steps into her territory like a storm, bringing with him danger, temptation, and secrets as deadly as her own. Their attraction is instant. Catastrophic. And though she fights it, Ryker is the one who stirs her deepest desires. But is he her salvation? Or her downfall? Betrayal lurks within her own pack. An enemy from the shadows seeks to claim her throne. The council of elders wants her power erased. And when Ryker’s true agenda is revealed, Selene is faced with the most devastating heartbreak of all. But she is no longer the broken Alpha. A story of rejection, seduction, and the rise of a ruler who will not be tamed. The Lunar Queen is coming. And she bows to no one.

Aku mengutuk tempat ini penuh dengan malapetaka. Tanah akan basah dengan darah. Sungai akan penuh warna merah. Udara akan berbau bangkai. Jeritan para pengkhianat akan terdengar. Kau akan memilih membunuh dirimu sendiri daripada tercekik dengan ketakutan. Hingga garis keturunanku mengambil haknya, kau akan terus takut dengan takdir. NOTE! Cover by Pinterest Edit by Canva

Di tahun ketiga pernikahanku dengan Jovan, tiba-tiba adik angkatnya, Jenny, mengirimkan sebuah video kepadaku. Aku membukanya dan melihat Jovan mengikat adik angkatnya di kepala ranjang menggunakan dasi yang baru saja kuberikan padanya. Sementara adik angkatnya terbaring telanjang di bawahnya, tanpa henti memanggilnya sebagai suami. Setelah itu mereka berpelukan erat. Jenny melingkarkan lengannya di leher Jovan dan merengek, “Kakak, aku nggak suka cincin yang kamu berikan padaku itu. Ambil saja dan berikan pada Kakak Ipar, anggap saja itu hadiah ulang tahun dariku.” Keesokan harinya, aku duduk di restoran mewah. Menatap kursi kosong di seberangku dengan pikiran melayang. Tiba-tiba, wakilnya mendorong kue besar ke arahku. “Pak Jovan ada urusan mendadak, jadi dia meminta saya mengantarkan hadiah ulang tahun ini untuk Nyonya.” Kotak itu berisi cincin, persis seperti cincin yang tidak diinginkan adik angkatnya.

Lalu meminta seseorang menyiapkan sebuah pesta pernikahan. “Nyonya, siapa nama pengantin pria dan pengantin wanita yang harus ditulis?” “Jovan Gunawan dan Jenny Gunawan.” Tujuh hari kemudian, aku akan membiarkan seluruh dunia melihat betapa liarnya Ketua Mafia yang selalu serius itu, bermain-main secara pribadi dengan adik angkatnya.
