Half Past Nine

Aku sudah mencintai suamiku selama lima tahun, tapi tidak pernah mendapatkan balasan apa pun darinya. Hari pertama aku meninggal, suamiku langsung pergi mencari cinta pertamanya. Diwaktu aku hilang, dia hanya berkata dengan senyum cemooh, "Onar apalagi?" Saat dia mengangkat telepon untuk pergi memastikan aku sudah meninggal atau belum, dia kira bisa mengungkapkan kebohonganku. Tapi dia tidak tahu kalau aku sudah meninggal beberapa hari.

My name is Allison Trueborn, I am hated and banished from my pack because I dared to fall in love with Raymond. I come from a family where our mom favors one daughter over the other. Unfortunately, I’m not the favored child. All I had to do is marry a wealthy high ranked Alpha and look pretty for him. I was not supposed to have purpose or ambition. I was expected to follow the rules and do as I’m told always. But, I wanted more. I just wanted to find love and happiness after years of bullying from my mom, my sister and many others in our pack. I planned to escape through marriage, but my plans were ruined when my sister stole my man and made me her chosen slave. To make her happy , alpha Williams had by legs broken too when he knows I couldn’t heal because I’m wolfless. He shifted into his alpha wolf and bit down on my limb, tearing through my flesh and breaking a bone before he stopped. I yelled and screamed in pain, feeling the searing pain from the fracture. I saw the look on my sisters face, she was practically living her dream, enjoying the moment and savouring it like a good meal.

I was known throughout the Shadow Pack as the perfect, obedient she-wolf. So obedient, in fact, that when my mate David left me during our eighty-eighth Bonding Ceremony, I still chose to forgive him. Until that fateful day—our eighty-ninth ceremony—when an anonymous werewolf gifted us a wedding present worth five hundred million dollars. The screen meant to play our sweet memories suddenly switched to a live broadcast: Amy, auctioning off her virginity for exactly five hundred million dollars. In our Pack, the first night symbolizes the deepest loyalty and love between true mates. If a she-wolf loses her first night to someone other than her mate, she is shunned by the entire Pack—branded with shame and rejection. Tears shimmered in Amy’s eyes as she looked straight into the camera, like it was her final goodbye. “David, if I can’t be your mate, then my purity means nothing.” “I only hope… you’ll never forget me.” David didn’t even hesitate. He threw away our moonstone ring and bolted from the ceremony hall. The Pack murmured in stunned disbelief. Everyone knew one thing: I loved David—but David only had eyes for his so-called savior, Amy. Now, the only question anyone whispered about was whether we’d make it to the ninetieth Bonding Ceremony. But I knew the truth— There would never be a ninetieth. So I left, my heart shattered in silence. But later, I heard he had regretted everything he had done— And had been desperately searching for me ever since. Because the truth was, I was the one who saved his life—not Amy.

Tahun keenam aku bersama Felix Darian. Aku berkata, "Felix, aku mau menikah."

Untuk sementara ini, aku belum bisa memikirkan tentang hal itu …." "Nggak masalah," balasku. Aku tersenyum acuh tak acuh. Felix salah paham. Aku memang akan menikah, tetapi bukan dengannya.
