Purple Aura

Ruang tamu rumah itu terasa begitu luas, namun entah mengapa udara di sekitarnya terasa menyempit, menekan paru-paruku. Malam ini adalah awal kehidupan baruku bersama Ibu di rumah suami barunya. "Bella, ayo, jangan malu-malu. Mulai sekarang kita adalah keluarga," ucap Ibu dengan senyum merekah, menarik tanganku agar lebih mendekat. Di hadapanku berdiri dua sosok pria yang kini menjadi bagian dari hidup kami. Arthur, ayah tiriku, duduk dengan wibawa yang mengintimidasi. Usianya memang sudah menyentuh kepala lima, tapi aura maskulinnya justru semakin pekat. Tubuhnya gagah, terbalut kemeja yang sedikit ketat di bagian dada, dan brewok tipis di dagunya memberikan kesan tegas yang sulit diabaikan. Namun, bukan dia yang membuat bulu kuduku meremang. Melainkan sosok yang berdiri di sampingnya. Leonard, atau kerap dipanggil Leo. Abang tiriku. "Halo, Bella," sapanya. Suaranya berat, rendah, dan memiliki getaran yang membuat perutku terasa aneh. Leo mewarisi postur gagah ayahnya, namun dengan vitalitas masa muda yang meledak-ledak. Kaos hitam polos yang ia kenakan menempel pas di tubuhnya, mencetak jelas otot-otot dada dan lengannya yang atletis. Sepertinya tidak ada satu inci pun lemak di tubuh itu, hanya otot keras yang siap menerkam. Saat aku mengangkat wajah untuk membalas sapanya, aku menangkap basah tatapannya. Mata itu... tidak sedang menatap wajahku. Mata tajam itu sedang menelusuri lekuk tubuhku, berhenti cukup lama di area dadaku, seolah tatapannya bisa menembus kain blus yang kukenakan. Tatapan itu bukan tatapan seorang kakak, melainkan tatapan seorang pria yang sedang menilai mangsanya.

“Hmm... Rhea, is it? Nice name.” I froze as I heard the husky voice, and I felt tremors running down my spine. I slowly raised my head and met the bluest eyes I had ever seen... Bluer than the ocean… So blue that they seemed to twinkle like twin pools of sapphire. I ran my eyes over his entire figure. He was wearing a suit but didn’t look like the typical businessmen. For one thing, he was not clean shaved, and had a five o’clock shadow on his face. And I couldn’t figure out if his hair was stylishly messed up, or he just didn’t bother to do anything with it at all. Either way, it looked good. Too good! And those lips.. I was brought out of my fantasies when those oh so kissable lips turned up into a smirk. Uh huh! I bit my lips, trying to bring myself out of the lust-filled haze I was falling into. There was just something about him, something so magnetic that I was losing all control of my thoughts. There seemed to be an aura of power and danger surrounding him. If I didn’t know any better, the one word I would say was ‘otherworldly’... but I knew better and just stopped myself in time from uttering the words ‘What are you?’. ------------------- From the day she woke up without memories two years ago, Rhea had always thought she was a normal human girl. What happens when she realises she was never a human, but a goddess? Suddenly her once boring life becomes all too exciting when she finds herself in the middle of Gods, demons, and a mysterious wolf protector. Add a handsome stranger whom she can’t seem to get her mind away from, Rhea is in for a lot more than she bargained for...

"Didn't know a clumsy girl would be sent to me?" He said, and I felt a ripple go through me. His voice! It was the deepest one I have ever heard of. His aura screams power but I don't know why I kept on looking at his face as if I was under a love spell. "You keep looking at me, did you find me too pretty?" He asked, and his deep voice jolted me awake, goosebumps traveling down my skin when I realized he grabbed my ass cheek. Fuck! Now, I wasn't expecting that. "Sorry, I don't think I heard you well," I said in a calm voice, averting my gaze. And thanks to the mask, he would have seen my cheeks red with blush. "What music would you want me to dance to?" I said as I stood upright, my heart beating wildly against my chest. "I think another person should be brought in, don't you think?" He asked, his head cocked to one side and I swear, his words hit a nerve in me. No client has ever belittled me before and his rude remark felt like a blow to me.

Mon compagnon Mason n'a pas seulement hérité de la position d'Alpha de la tribu, mais également de sa belle-mère Olivia. Après chaque moment intime avec elle, Mason me répétait invariablement : « Evelyn, ne t'inquiète pas. Je n'avais pas le choix. » « Tu es la seule que j'aime vraiment. Dès qu'Olivia sera enceinte et aura accouché, j'organiserai la cérémonie de marquage avec toi. » Il m'a expliqué que c'était la condition imposée par le Roi Alpha pour qu'il puisse hériter du titre d'Alpha de la Meute Fantôme. En une année, Mason a passé au moins trois cents jours avec Olivia. Lorsque celle-ci est finalement tombée enceinte, j'ai cru que je pourrais enfin me tenir à ses côtés en tant que compagne. C'est à ce moment que j'ai compris : Mason avait donné aussi bien son amour que son corps à Olivia. J'ai complètement abandonné et me suis tournée vers ma fille de sept ans : « Ma chérie, veux-tu partir avec Maman ? » « Oui, je veux rester avec Maman », m'a-t-elle répondu. Mason ne savait pas que ce que je désirais n'avait jamais été le titre de Luna. Tout ce que je voulais, c'était un amour sincère et entier. Si tu ne peux pas me l'offrir, alors je m'en irai.

"Mine "he growled. Absolutely NOT ''No'', my voice felt low, although I didn't know him. His aura reflected strength and power. It made me scared, but I wouldn't let it affect me. I am standing my ground no matter what power he holds '' Oh, you're very stubborn !? What do you mean, no? We both know that female wolves listen to their mates according to the law. So unless you don't want to get killed I suggest you behave "he tried to grab my wrist, and I immediately flinched and pulled away. ''NO, don't" "I am your mate, you will obey me! Why are you acting like this? I don't want to hurt you, but if I have to I will" HURT ME!! , he's got some nerve talking to me like that, little bitch. Is he trying to make me angry? Obey it seems, I stopped doing that years ago, and no one will make me obey them. Again As he grabbed my left hand, my right hand immediately flew to his cheek and made contact with his face. He looked shocked, serves you right. You have no right to touch me without my permission, mate or not. "I told you 'NO', but you were too arrogant to listen. You'll regret what you just did to me after you find out who I am 'mate' " "I am sure you would be surprised too, after finding out who I am. Next time I am sure you'll think before you slap someone. By the way that slap hurt a lot. I want to find out why you are so violent "he replied smugly. Jerk. Who does he think he is? Men are awful, it will stay like that forever.

MATURE CONTENT: This book is strictly R18+ BLURB: Excerpt: Before I could turn toward him, the ground vanished beneath my feet. Again, a startled gasp tore from my throat as he lifted me with sudden force, and in the next breath, my legs were wrapped around his waist, his hands firm on my ass like I paid him to own it too. Before words could leave my mouth he kissed me deliberately. Like he needed to stir the moment. Stir something in me. My pupils flared at the shock of his movement, my heart pounding so violently it felt as though it might break free from my chest. "I wouldn't mind helping you strip if you aren't going to do it yourself?" His voice dripped demand that felt more like a command instead of a request. Too much of an aura for a one-night stand who I never knew was the husband I feared. ~~~ How will you feel when you wake up only to discover you had been set up for an arranged marriage with a man whose stories about him made ears that heard it tingle? Afraid, devastated, angry, right? Then what will be your reaction when you find out that a one-night stand whom you had paid to stir a scandal and stop the marriage turned out to be the arranged husband you're running away from? Now I believe words can't describe your feelings. However, that was my story. He wanted me, made rules for me. Made me fight to know who he was and now even my restraint can't subdue him rather he consumed every bit of me. What will become my fate when I find out what made me afraid of him, afraid of the city was actually who I was?

It was our seventh bonding anniversary. However, Xavier Ashton, the Alpha who controlled everything, brought home his pregnant lover. For the past seven years, he worshipped me. He would kiss my hand in front of everyone and say I was his moon, the only Luna of his life. Yet now, his hand rested on another she-wolf's belly, as if showcasing a miracle. "She's carrying my first pup. You have the Moon Goddess's power. I want you to bless her. Also, she's been having nightmares during the pregnancy, so she'll take the main bedroom." I froze, almost convinced I had misheard him. "Are you joking? That's my room!" He looked up, his tone carrying a warning. "From today, it's hers." Anger nearly made me laugh. My voice shook, but it was clear. "You got some lowly Omega she-wolf pregnant and brought her into our home? Xavier Ashton, you've completely lost your mind!" "I won't say this a third time. Move out now." His aura turned ice-cold in an instant. His Alpha pressure hit me head-on, making my wolf whimper inside me. He thought I would obediently submit, but he did not know that I had already packed my bags weeks ago, when I received the video of his affair. As I walked toward the front door, I heard him sneer behind me, "Let her throw a tantrum. She'll come crawling back in less than three days." The pack members snickered behind me, already betting on how many days I would last this time. However, the private car sent to pick me up was already waiting at the door. This time, I was cutting ties with him for good.
