Perkenalkan, namaku Galang Rakryan Panuluh, panggil saja aku Galang. Aku adalah seorang mahasiswa pemain band heavy-metal yang baru saja pulang dari tur konser.

Lantas, hidupku terbelah di antara lima wanita yang berbeda, dengan lima kehidupan yang tidak dapat didamaikan. Semakin dalam aku terlibat dalam kehidupan mereka, aku terjebak dalam sebuah intrik yang mengancam hidup sekaligus menghancurkan hatiku. Dan bahkan, demokrasi bangsaku. Suatu hari, aku menemukan buku catatan yang ditulis oleh kakekku. Buku itu membuatku tercerahkan sekaligus terancam. Terdampar di tengah cinta, bahaya, gairah, dan kekerasan, aku harus memilih antara diriku sendiri, cintaku, atau bangsaku. Apa yang aku mulai dengan paksaan, mendadak menjadi sebuah kebutuhan. Ayo, baca ceritaku ... Jika kamu berani! PERINGATAN: Cerita ini mengandung materi sensitif. Kebijaksanaan pembaca disarankan.

After ten years together, my boyfriend bailed me and marked my sister—Rose Howell. Right after, Jack Sterling—Silvernorth's youngest professor—blasted our engagement on the academy site. We were bonded seven years. He acted like the perfect mate—quiet, loyal, like I was his whole world. Then I caught him talking to a colleague. "Rose is the most promising healer in Silvernorth now. How long are you gonna keep faking it with that she-wolf?" "For Rose to have peace, I'll keep Wyettta around. She won't dare mess with their bond." Seven years, trashed like a strategy memo. His journal? All her name. [May Rose shine.] [Let Rose be the happiest she-wolf alive.] [I'd stay mated to someone I don't love if it makes her smile.] Seven years, and I woke up in a nightmare. On our mark anniversary, I took the gondola. Sun rising. Drop, endless. Blocked the mind link. Drank the potion. Severed our mate bond. Jumped. Soon as word spread, Jack led Silvernorth's top warriors into the cliffs, launching the most brutal search the region's ever seen—trying to recover his "lost mate." He howled my name into the mountains like regret could bring me back.

It's the final round of this year's Pack Pup Tournament. I can't take my eyes off my pup, Patrick Grant, as he wins the title. When the host calls Patrick's parents onstage to celebrate, I leap up, thrilled. But then I see Nicholas Grant, my Alpha mate, walk up with his secretary, Natalia Lawson. They stand side by side under the spotlight, kissing Patrick on both cheeks. It's as if Natalia is the mother, as if she's the Luna of our pack, as if they're the perfect family. I can only stand there in the audience, feeling the weight of countless startled stares, too ashamed to lift my head. Later, Nicholas brushes the incident off. "You were seated farther back. It was easier to bring Natalia up on stage," he explains. Easier? I swallow the humiliation and force myself to believe it was just an unfortunate coincidence—until today, that is. I sense through our blood bond that something's wrong with Patrick, so I drop everything and race to the pack hospital. But when I arrive, Patrick is lying in Natalia's lap, whining to her in a soft voice. I step forward to introduce myself, but the healer only looks surprised. "The emergency contact form lists Natalia as his mom, though." It turns out Patrick himself had stripped me of my role as his mother. And Nicholas didn't stop him. I finally understand. I don't belong in this family anymore. That night, I tell Nicholas I want to dissolve the mate bond between us. He doesn't even look up as he says, "Don't be dramatic. You'd dissolve our bond over a single name on a form?" "Yes."
