Okarun X Aira

Istriku menginginkan hal yang tak pernah kubayangkan. Dia memintaku untuk memenuhi hasrat gilanya. Awalnya aku benci. Aku marah. Tapi setiap kali ia menatapku dengan mata penuh gairah, setiap bisikannya di telingaku membuatku panas. Dan secara perlahan ... aku mulai menginginkannya juga.

Raisa adalah istri yang sempurna di mata tetangga: cantik, anggun, dan selalu tersenyum saat menyiram bunga di pagi hari. Tapi di balik senyumnya, tersembunyi tubuh yang meronta-ronta dalam sunyi. Suaminya, Dimas, pria mapan yang setia pada pekerjaannya... lebih setia pada layar laptop daripada menyentuh istrinya sendiri. Saat Aldo, tetangga muda di sebelah rumah, mulai mengobrol ringan dan menawarkan bantuan kecil, Raisa tak menyangka dirinya akan terjun begitu dalam pada lembah yang panas dan membakar. Satu sentuhan berubah menjadi ciuman. Satu ciuman berubah menjadi malam tanpa batas. Dan dari sanalah segalanya berantakan. Di antara kebohongan, hasrat, dan rahasia yang mengancam terbongkar, Raisa harus memilih: bertahan dalam rumah tangga dingin yang memenjarakan… atau terbakar oleh keinginan yang tak bisa lagi ia kendalikan. Tapi, ketika kebohongan mulai berlapis, dan cinta mulai menipu diri sendiri… siapa yang sebenarnya mengkhianati siapa?

What would you do when fate binds you to two mates—one who shattered your heart, and the other who's being shattered every day? Alpha Aira Stone—fiery, fearless, and one of the mischievous Stone sextuplets—is no stranger to chaos. But nothing prepares her for the moment her world begins to unravel. The boy she’s loved her entire life—her brother’s Beta, her secret childhood crush—walks away to chase his dreams, leaving her behind with nothing but a hollow “I’m sorry” and a heart full of scars. His silence was rejection. His absence, betrayal. And Aira? She doesn’t forgive easily. But when the Moon Goddess finally reveals her fated mates, the joke is crueler than she could have imagined—because one of them is him. The Beta. The wimp. The one who turned his back on her. And the other? A mysterious transgender demon—shackled by torment, enduring daily abuse at the hands of a monstrous werewolf pack in a distant, brutal land. A soul tethered to hers by pain, fate, and an ache she can’t ignore. Now, with her pride in pieces and her heart pulled in two, Aira must confront what it means to lead, to love—and to choose. Because some bonds are blessed. Others are broken. And some... are born in chaos.
