Kakak perempuanku memakan setengah piring mangga yang aku tinggalkan di atas meja, lalu seluruh tubuhnya alergi dan dipenuhi ruam merah. Karena marah, kakak laki-lakiku membuka mulutku dengan paksa dan terus menuangkan jus mangga ke dalam mulutku. "Bukannya kamu suka makan mangga? Hari ini kubuat kamu makan sampai puas!" Makanan itu tersedak masuk ke paru-paruku dan membuatku sulit untuk bernapas, lalu tenggorokanku bengkak dan terasa sakit. Aku memohon pada kakakku itu untuk menyelamatkanku, tetapi dia malah mengunciku di ruang bawah tanah. "Karena Sanny menderita, kamu juga jangan berharap bisa hidup nyaman. Renungkan baik-baik kesalahanmu di sini. Sejak kecil nggak ada yang mengajarimu, pantas saja kamu jadi sekejam ini." Dua hari kemudian, Mama baru teringat padaku. "Aslan, sudah cukup, lepaskan saja Herlina keluar. Kalau terlalu lama, nanti malah nggak baik. Dia jadi dendam sama Sanny." Papa yang berada di samping berkata dengan nada cuek, "Memangnya kenapa? Tinggal belikan saja dia sesuatu sebagai kompensasi. Beres, 'kan?" Aku bersandar di tubuh ayahku dan mengikuti mereka menuju ruang bawah tanah. Aku ingin melihat bagaimana mereka akan memberiku kompensasi.

"Kontraknya akan berakhir dalam setengah bulan. Aku rencana mau cerai sama Leonard." Saat berkata begitu, Liana menonton video di tabletnya yang telah diputar ratusan kali. Dalam video itu, suaminya menatap kekasih masa kecilnya dan berkata dengan penuh perasaan, "Emily, aku masih belum bisa lupakan kamu. Kembali ke sisiku, ya?" Kemudian, Leonard Hadinata mencium bibir merah Emily. Sementara itu, Kai Hadinata, putra yang telah dikandung Liana selama sembilan bulan dan dilahirkannya dengan mempertaruhkan nyawanya, berseru lantang, "Papa, aku mau Bibi Emily jadi mamaku!" Tekad Liana untuk pergi pun menjadi makin kuat. Di ujung telepon, Melisa, ibunya Leonard terdiam sejenak. Kemudian, dia menasihati Liana untuk berpikir matang-matang. "Kamu harus pertimbangkan baik-baik. Kalau cerai, kamu bukan cuma harus tinggalkan pekerjaanmu saat ini. Karena ada kontrak itu, kamu bahkan nggak akan kebagian banyak harta." Liana menjawab tanpa ragu, "Emm. Berhubung akta nikah itu palsu, aku pasti akan pergi tanpa ambil sepeser pun. Jangan khawatir." Melisa mencoba membujuknya untuk tetap tinggal, "Kalau bersikeras mau cerai, kamu pasti nggak akan dapatkan hak asuh anak. Kamu rela untuk pisah sama anakmu?"

À l'étape de l'échange des alliances, mon mari n'a toujours pas prononcé le « oui, je veux l'épouser ». C'était simplement parce que son premier amour avait soudainement annoncé sa rupture, une heure auparavant. Elle avait publié une photo de billet d'avion, avec une heure d'arrivée prévue dans une heure. Mon frère est soudainement monté sur scène et a annoncé à tout le monde que le mariage avait été reporté. Ils m'ont laissée là, en parfaite entente, faisant de moi la risée de tous les invités. J'ai géré tout cela avec calme en regardant la mise à jour sur Instagram du premier amour de mon mari. Sur la photo, mon frère et mon mari étaient autour d'elle, lui offrant le meilleur de tout. J'ai souri amèrement en appelant mes parents biologiques : « Papa, maman, je suis prête à rentrer à la maison, j'accepte le mariage arrangé en tant que fille de notre famille des Thomas. »

Setelah menikah tujuh tahun, Manuel merasa hidupnya terlalu datar, jadi dia memelihara seorang mahasiswi di luar. Burung kenari yang lemah dan menyedihkan itu memanfaatkan tubuhnya untuk membujuk Manuel sampai dia tidak pulang sebulan. Tidak peduli bagaimana aku memanggilnya, tetap tidak ada gunanya.

Namun, Manuel justru berulang kali menginginkan tubuh simpanannya itu di depan jendela kaca besar. Di tengah suara kenikmatan mereka, anakku akhirnya mengembuskan napas terakhir di pelukanku. Di pemakaman, Manuel memelukku sambil menangis tersedu-sedu, bersumpah akan kembali ke keluarga dan mencintaiku dengan sepenuh hati lagi. Aku menyetujuinya.

Di pelukannya juga ada seorang anak laki-laki berusia tiga tahun. Anak kecil itu tersenyum ke arah kamera sambil mengangkat piala. "Papa, Mama, kita adalah keluarga paling bahagia!"

That night, Liam served me my usual evening tea. I trusted him completely—he was my mate, after all, and a respected healer of Thornpack. I shouldn't have. When I woke up the next morning, my head was spinning. The special safe where I kept the morphing inhibitor—the one I'd spent my entire savings to import from Europe for our daughter Isla—was empty. Racing to the healing center, I found Liam celebrating. He was handing out moon-blessed wine, beaming with pride as Natalie's daughter Anna showed off her perfect transformation. My inhibitor had been used on his first love's pup instead of our own daughter. The shock triggered something in my brain. When I collapsed, they diagnosed me with the rare tumor that plagued our kind.

Until her last breath, she kept asking why Papa hadn't come.

My eyes were void of emotion as I looked at the pack that flanked him and back into his stormy grey eyes. I stuck out my hand with a smirk on my face, “Welcome to the Blue Moon Pack.” He grasped my hand and shocks ran up my arm and through my body as it did his causing his eyes to widen, but before he could react I continued. “I am Alpha Allison Trust Wells.” My tone oozed confidence and mirth. I heard a few gasps, but the biggest reaction I got was from Devin whose eyes widened in shock.~~~A story of hurt, betrayal and second chances in a world of mystical creatures.
