Hari kedua setelah resmi menikah, aku berdiri di bandara sambil memegang dua lembar tiket pesawat, menunggu suamiku, Yoel. Akhirnya dia datang, tapi ada Wenny di belakangnya, sahabat masa kecilnya. “Sayang, Wenny baru putus cinta. Aku mengajaknya ikut biar dia bisa melepas penat.” Ujar Yoel menjelaskan dengan nada hati-hati. Wenny mengenakan gaun pantai yang sama persis denganku, lalu melemparkan senyuman penuh permohonan maaf. “Kak, aku nggak mengganggu kalian, ‘kan? Aku hanya mau ikut biar kecipratan kebahagiaan kalian saja.” Aku melirik tangan Yoel, ada tiket ketiga yang terselip di antara tiket kami. Nomor kusinya 16B. Sementara, kursiku 16A dan Yoel 16C. Yoel sengaja menempatkan Wenny tepat di tengah-tengah kami. Aku berdiri membeku dan amarahku langsung meluap ke kepala. Aku menarik Yoel ke samping dan berkata pelan, “Suruh dia pergi atau aku yang pergi.” Wajah Yoel tampak serba salah dan agak pasrah, dia menjawab, “Sayang, bisa nggak agak pengertian?” “Wenny bilang dia takut sendirian di rumah, makanya mau ikut biar suasana kita juga lebih ramai.” “Lagipula, aku dan dia sudah kenal sejak kecil. Pergi liburan bersama juga nggak masalah….” Aku langsung memotongnya, “Kalau kamu nggak suruh dia pergi sekarang, kita cerai hari ini juga.”

I was rejected by my best friend at my 18th coming-of-age ceremony. “What I seek in a mate is a female warrior like your mother, not... not someone like you." Not someone like me, a mute, an omega with no fighting capability. I struggled to compose myself, holding back tears, continuing to communicate silently with gestures。 Why? Kevin, it wasn't my fault that I wasn't as strong a beta as my mother. He sighed, shifting his gaze away from me, the laughter from the werewolves in the audience almost knocked down my self-esteem. ----Many years later, Alpha Kevin meets his mute mate again. He will pay a heavy price and regret for his mistake in rejecting her when he was young. Ella, she looks like a useless Omega, but in fact she is a poisoner. After her mother died to protect Kevin, she decided to become a she-wolf who is loyal to herself.

In the Northern Crest Pack, strength is everything. Elara is a nineteen-year-old "wolfless" Omega—a shadow in her own home. She has spent her life loving future Alpha Killian, believing their fated bond would finally give her a voice. But on the night of the Blood Moon, Killian publicly shatters her heart. He rejects Elara as "too weak to lead," choosing the cruel but powerful Cora as his Luna. The rejection should have killed her. Instead, it snaps a seal on an ancient power. Elara isn't a normal wolf; she is a Primal Guardian with the ability to command the elements. Exiled and hunted, she flees to the South, where she meets Malachi, the "Monster King." He is the only one who sees the goddess hidden beneath her scars. Under Malachi’s protection, Elara transforms into a force of nature. When a Great War brings a desperate Killian to her feet to beg for help, he doesn't find the "Little Mouse" he discarded. He finds a Queen. And this time, she has a mate who would burn the world to keep her.
