"Dia siapa, Ma?" Entah kenapa aku gugup sendiri saat tanya itu mencuat. Aku belum berani melihat jelas wajahnya. Sampai Bu Tya memperkenalkanku padanya. "Ning, kenalkan ini anak sulung saya, Zen Maulana. Zen, ini Ning yang mau bantu mama bersih-bersih rumah. Dia juga mau kerja di kantin kampus." Aku yang baru saja menginjakkan kaki di anak tangga terakhir terlonjak kaget. Nama itu, tidak asing bagiku. Apa hanya sebuah kebetulan nama lengkapnya sama. Aku memberanikan diri melihat wajah anak sulung Bu Tya. Seketika kotak yang kupegang jatuh membuat isinya berhamburan. Rasa-rasanya kepalaku bagai dihantam palu. Aku tidak menyangka akan bertemu laki-laki masa lalu di rumah besar ini. Nasib yang menurutku baik bertemu Bu Tya ternyata disertai kejutan besar bertemu orang yang membuatku tidak tenang di tiga tahun terakhir hidupku. "Zen? Dia benar-benar Zen yang sama, Zen Maulana." Tanganku mendadak tremor. Bulir keringat sebesar biji jagung bermunculan. Bahkan tenggorokan terasa tercekat. Aku dilanda ketakutan seperti seorang penjahat yang menanti eksekusi hukuman. Pandangan mulai mengabur dan gelap. Lutut lemas seolah tak bertulang, aku terhuyung. Sebelum kesadaranku hilang, sayup-sayup telingaku menangkap suara. Nama panggilan yang biasa Zen sebut untukku. "Han!" Simak ceritanya, yuk.

Je suis piégée, piégée dans un lien de compagnon que je déteste. Est-ce que je vais un jour m’échapper de son emprise ? « Moi, Théodore Bodin, Alpha de la Meute du Désert d’Ambre, je te rejette, Kaia Leconte, comme ma Luna. » Je me souviens de ses paroles cruelles et tranchantes comme si c’était hier. Notre lien de compagnon est inexistant. C’est un mensonge, il existe mais Théodore ne se permet pas de s’approcher de moi... ou d’être seul dans une pièce avec moi. C’est comme si je le dégoûtais. Il m’a réduit à néant. Seulement une ombre et je le déteste pour ça. Je ne peux pas continuer à vivre comme ça, à attendre... Je suis Kaia Leconte, la Luna légitime de la Meute du Désert d’Ambre. Pourtant, mon compagnon, l’Alpha Théodore, refuse de me laisser régner à ses côtés. Je me sens trompée par le lien de compagnon, que mon propre compagnon ne veut pas. Des années que j’essaie de le faire m’aimer... de me voir... mais comment le pourrais-je ? Quand il en a une autre... Je ne peux pas rester, ce n’est plus sûr pour moi ni pour mon enfant à naître. Un enfant créé par la force. Je dois partir... m’enfuir et retrouver mon père. Il est la seule bouée de sauvetage dont je dispose. Cependant, il a été vu récemment dans la meute ennemie, la Meute du Fantôme Noir. Une meute notoire avec un Alpha froid et intrigant, qui n’apprécie pas les étrangers. On dit que ceux qui entrent dans la meute ne sont jamais revus. Mais je n’ai pas le choix... je dois entrer dans la meute ennemie pour me débarrasser de mon lien de compagnon. Seulement, je me retrouve avec un autre. Un autre qui me condamne à la même tromperie du lien de compagnon.
