Kadang, cinta tidak perlu berlari. Ia hanya perlu seseorang yang cukup sabar untuk tetap berdiri di tempat yang sama—sampai yang lain berani pulang. Tujuh tahun lalu, Nayara Adinata pergi diam-diam ke luar negeri, meninggalkan Indonesia dan meninggalkan Elric Mahendra, lelaki yang pernah menjadi rumah teraman dalam hidupnya. Ia tak berniat kembali — sampai sahabat kuliahnya, Keira Adiwangsa, memintanya pulang untuk membantu perusahaan farmasi keluarganya yang tengah berbenah. Kini, Nayara kembali sebagai engineer dengan reputasi gemilang. Namun di balik meja rapat dan laporan teknis, ia mendengar suara yang dulu pernah menenangkan di antara bising dunia: Elric, kini direktur operasional perusahaan yang sama. Pertemuan itu membuat waktu berbalik. Bukan untuk menagih masa lalu, tapi untuk memahami bahwa beberapa perasaan tidak pernah selesai, hanya menunggu keberanian untuk kembali.

Demi melindungi Ayah, aku disiksa oleh penculik selama sejam. Namun, Ayah malah sibuk merayakan ulang tahun putri adopsinya yang ke-18. Sebelum meninggal, aku menelepon Ayah. "Tapi, Ayah, hari ini juga ulang tahunku. Ini terakhir kalinya, Ayah. Bisa nggak Ayah mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun untukku?" "Kamu benar-benar nggak punya hati! Karena ulang tahun, kamu membunuh ibumu! Kamu masih mau merayakan ulang tahun? Kenapa kamu nggak mati saja?" Usai berbicara, dia langsung mematikan panggilan. Keesokan hari, jenazahku ditempatkan di pot bunga depan kantor polisi. Ayah bertanggung jawab atas otopsi. Dia bisa melihat bahwa pembunuhnya sangat kejam dan tidak takut pada polisi. Namun, dia sama sekali tidak tahu bahwa korban adalah putri yang paling dibencinya.

During the eight years I spent by Alpha David’s side, I also raised the pup he had with my late sister. At his birthday banquet, I accidentally wore one of her old dresses. Eight-year-old Dorian grabbed a pot of freshly brewed coffee and poured it over me— right in front of the maids. The scalding liquid burned my skin, and when I looked up, I saw the same cold disgust in his eyes that I’d seen so many times in his father’s. “How dare you wear my mother’s dress?” he sneered. “You’ll never replace her. You killed her with that wicked heart of yours!” The coffee seared more than my flesh. It burned straight through my heart. I looked at the child I’d raised for eight long years. I didn’t feel angry. I didn’t even feel sad. Only a quiet kind of exhaustion. “Don’t worry,” I whispered. “I’ll leave tomorrow.”

Now everything is changing...with everyone of us sweeping under the carpet the scars of yesterday's sins. Those scars are what kept me alive until you are all born to hear the story. The world government was powerful and taking advantage of the human colonial minds, they buried our freedom and equity. But now that we the Elites whom they educated and rose to revolts against the fingers that had fed us... What do you call it? Oh! yes they had termed it Rebellion. They did call us rebels, for seeking a small ration part of the best that nature has given to mankind. Al-sural-tu-Nas. This for mankind, tell ye that the beast you trained in the dark had turned to an angel in the day. We are filled from the pot of lies now that our bellies cannot contain what they obtain, the promises that were compromised, treaties that were breached, least they covered the black mails and lies with a blanket of Diplomacy. But now is the snatch of the gallon beer from the drunkard because now there is what when diplomacy fails.....is war. "Now we are free."

Right after Ethan and I announced our mating ceremony, his childhood sweetheart from the pack, Sophia, came rushing back. And she flat-out demanded I go through a "bloodline trial." "Someone like you, a wolf outcast, you're definitely up to no good. You have to pass this month-long bloodline trial before our pack will accept your mating!" With Ethan basically giving them the nod, Sophia and her pack betas put me through hell. They deliberately messed with my moonlight alchemy circle, almost tore my mind apart. The backlash from the moon energy tortured me until I almost broke. My body felt like it was being ripped to shreds. They contaminated my sacred water potions. The choking fumes nearly suffocated me. The betas were cruel and vicious. "She's just a lone wolf anyway. If she dies, no pack will back her up." Then, Sophia stole the Moon Goddess sacred artifact my grandma left me—the Moon Alchemy Cauldron. She taunted me, all cocky. "If you've got the guts, try summoning the Moon Goddess's power on the blood moon night to take it back! Otherwise, I'll use your family's crappy old cauldron as a chamber pot!" I’ve had enough. I’m so sick of these ‘trials,’ and there’s no way in hell I’m mating with Ethan.
