I died on the day I was supposed to form a mate bond with Alpha Ragnar. Since I did not show up, he went ahead and performed the ceremony with his childhood sweetheart, Nina. “Selena has already been marked by me, yet she still threw caution to the wind and cheated with a rogue. Her betrayal has brought shame upon us. She’s not worthy of being the pack’s Luna!” With just one careless sentence, Ragnar made my family a disgrace of the pack. My father was once a great warrior of the pack. He lost his wolf saving Ragnar, only to be drowned in a river as punishment for supposedly failing to discipline his own daughter. Our blood bond allowed me to feel his pain. However, I had been locked in a sealed, abandoned interrogation room—a silver cage. The mechanism inside was accidentally triggered, and thick poisonous gas filled the space. It killed me slowly and painfully. After my soul left my body, I appeared beside Ragnar and heard him say to Nina, “Thanks for your help today. If Selena hadn’t acted so foolishly, you wouldn’t have had to take her place in the ceremony. Ever since I marked her, she’s been getting bolder, thinking my affection gives her a free pass. How dare she skip such an important ceremony?!” However, the noble Alpha Ragnar seemed to have forgotten something. Just seven days ago, he threw me into a silver cage meant only for the most dangerous criminals to appease Nina. “You hurt Nina, so you must face the consequences. Take these three days to reflect. If you still won't admit your mistake, then don’t even think about ever leaving this place for the rest of your life.” I waited three days and then three more. The poisonous gas and silver ate away at my body, corroding me from the outside in. I endured seven days of unbearable pain before I finally died. When my body was found, it had been so ravaged by the poison that I was unrecognizable. As for the arrogant Alpha? He had completely lost his mind.

Pada malam hari jadi pernikahan kami yang keenam, aku tersipu dan menghindari ciuman panas suamiku, Arga, lalu mendorongnya untuk meraih pengaman di meja samping tempat tidur. Di dalamnya, ada kejutan yang aku siapkan, alat tes kehamilan yang menunjukkan hasil positif. Aku membayangkan senyum seperti apa yang akan dia tunjukkan saat menemukannya. Namun, tepat saat dia hendak meraih laci, ponselnya berdering. Suara sahabatnya, Omar, terdengar dari gagang telepon, berbicara dalam bahasa Jerman. “Pak Arga, semalam bagaimana rasanya? Apa sofa erotis baru dari perusahaan kita nyaman?” Arga terkekeh pelan dan menjawab dalam bahasa Jerman, “Fungsi pijatnya berfungsi dengan baik, jadi aku tidak perlu memijat punggung Hanna lagi.” Dia masih memelukku erat, tapi tatapannya seolah menembusku, menatap seseorang yang lain. “Hanya kita berdua yang tahu tentang ini. Kalau istriku tahu aku tidur dengan adiknya, mampus aku.” Hatiku serasa ditusuk dengan keras. Mereka tidak tahu kalau aku mengambil mata kuliah minor Bahasa Jerman di perguruan tinggi, jadi aku mengerti setiap katanya. Aku memaksakan diri untuk tetap tenang, tetapi tanganku yang melingkari lehernya sedikit gemetar. Saat itu, aku akhirnya memutuskan untuk menerima undangan dari proyek penelitian internasional. Tiga hari kemudian, aku akan lenyap sepenuhnya dari dunia Arga.

Pada hari jadi pernikahan pertama kami, aku baru menyadari bahwa sekotak pengaman yang kubeli sebelum pernikahan sudah lama kedaluwarsa. Tidak akan ada yang percaya, suamiku yang seorang mafia, Alvaro Munandar, dan aku belum pernah berhubungan seks. Jadi, aku mengumpulkan keberanian untuk membeli satu set piyama seksi. Setelah tiga gelas wiski, begitu Alvaro mendorong pintu masuk, aku memeluknya erat-erat. “Sayang,” bisikku di telinganya. “Tidurin aku hari ini, aku menginginkanmu...” Tetapi Alvaro menepis tanganku dengan dingin dan kejam, seolah-olah sedang mengeluarkan pistol. “Raina, kamu pelacur ya?” “Melakukan hal-hal yang tidak tahu malu berulang kali. Jika kamu benar-benar kesepian, aku akan memesankan beberapa mainan agar kamu bisa bermain sepuasnya.” Wajahku langsung pucat dan aku membeku. Aku tidak mengerti kenapa seorang istri dianggap 'pelacur' ketika dia meminta belaian dari suaminya. Malam itu, aku meringkuk di sofa dan tak kuasa menahan diri untuk mengunggah sesuatu di media sosial. [Suamiku memiliki fungsi seksual normal, kenapa dia tidak menyentuhku setelah menikah?] Seseorang berkomentar, [Mungkin suamimu punya istri lain.] Komentar itu seperti pisau, menusukku hingga tersadar. Aku tiba-tiba menyadari, mungkin bukan karena aku kurang menarik secara seksual, melainkan karena dia memang bukan milikku. Saat aku menekan tombol hapus akun, aku juga memutuskan untuk pergi. Tetapi siapa sangka bahwa pria yang tidak pernah melirikku akan menjadi gila dan mencariku setelah aku menghilang. “Raina, setelah kamu pergi, aku tak pernah bisa ereksi lagi!”

I knew perfectly well that open flames were forbidden at a gas-leak scene, yet as a firefighter, I still backed my girlfriend's childhood friend when he insisted on lighting a cigarette "to calm his nerves." In my previous life, a sudden gas leak erupted during a gathering. Her childhood friend insisted on smoking to steady himself. I slapped the lighter out of his hand and yelled at him for trying to get us all killed. Humiliated, he ignored everyone's attempts to stop him and stormed outside—only to be crushed by an advertising board blown loose by the explosion's shockwave. Later, when I saved a child who had fallen from a building and was left hanging in midair myself, my girlfriend—my second-in-command—maliciously cut my safety rope. She stared at my corpse and said, "If you hadn't humiliated George in front of everyone, he wouldn't have died." When I opened my eyes again, I was back in that room thick with the stench of leaking gas.
