Spirit Blade Mountain

Marcel was born a Vampyre but never felt at home in Blackledge Castle or his own body. His father Halen has created an army of feral vampires, the means by which he will gain power and deliver justice to the descendents of the High Priestess who made him the monster he is. The curse his father's barbaric past has brought down upon Marcel is one he sets out to rid himself of. The cullings and rampant bloodshed Halen thrives on are atrocities in Marcel’s eyes, and he knows if he does not leave, he will be dragged down with the clan when the Blackledge empire inevitably falls. This story follows Marcel as he learns to accept who and what he is through encounters with undying witches, dragons as old as the mountains in which they live and packs of warrior werewolves. Marcels eyes are opened to a world he never could have dreamed of from inside the tall walls of his former home. Marcel's journey is one of hardship, heartache, self discovery and wonder but it is not without its obstacles and hardships. When he finally finds a place he could call home he needs to make a choice, love or belonging. Can a Vampyre have it all? ***This book is part of my 'Twin Alphas' series. You do not need to have read the other stories as Marcel’s story is his own.

Ketika Kepala Keluarga Karsa menjadi sasaran serangan bom bunuh diri. Suamiku, Daren Karsa, yang menjabat sebagai kepala pengawal, sedang membawa sekelompok pengawal untuk mengantar teman masa kecilnya, Freya Hastanta, menonton peragaan busana. Alih-alih menekan cincin sinyal darurat, aku dengan perut hamil menerjang ke arah kepala keluarga dan menahan ledakan dengan tubuhku. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menekannya. Daren meninggalkan Freya dan bergegas kembali, menyelamatkan kepala keluarga, sehingga dia menjadi tangan kanan kepala keluarga. Namun, Freya marah karena Daren pergi, lalu menyeberangi jalan tol dan tertabrak mobil hingga tewas. Di permukaan Daren tidak mengatakan apa-apa, tetapi pada hari aku melahirkan, dia mengirimku ke tempat pelelangan bawah tanah. "Di sisi kepala keluarga ada begitu banyak pengawal yang melindunginya, kenapa kau justru memaksaku untuk kembali? Bukannya itu demi gengsimu sebagai istri tangan kanan kepala keluarga?" "Kalau bukan karena kau, Freya nggak akan mati. Semua penderitaan yang dia alami, harus kau bayar berkali-kali lipat!" Aku menyaksikan dengan mata kepalaku sendiri organ-organ tubuhku dilelang satu per satu, bahkan tali pusar anakku pun tidak luput. Akhirnya, aku mati karena infeksi saat pengangkatan organ. Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari saat kepala keluarga diserang.

Pada malam perayaan ulang tahun pernikahan kami yang pertama, aku tergeletak di atas karpet merah darah, hampir tak bernyawa. Suamiku, Mason, seorang bos mafia, justru merangkul teman masa kecilnya, Yani, sambil menikmati sampanye dan bercakap dengan gembira. Yani tahu aku alergi wijen. Jadi dia membuat setiap hidangan malam ini disiram saus wijen. Aku baru menggigit satu suap. Tenggorokanku langsung membengkak, paru-paruku seperti terbakar, dan ruam merah menjalar di kulitku. Di ambang sesak napas, aku mengerahkan seluruh tenagaku untuk meraih obat alergi di dalam sakuku. Tapi obat itu meleleh, lengket di telapak tanganku. Obatku ternyata telah ditukar menjadi kacang cokelat M&M! Melihat ekspresiku yang tak percaya, Yani tertawa. "Kejutan! Aku sengaja menyuruh Mason mengganti obatmu." "Kita semua tahu kamu cuma pura-pura alergi. Siapa sih yang cuma makan sedikit wijen saja langsung pingsan? Lebay banget." Aku terjatuh dari kursi, berbaring di lantai sambil susah payah bernapas. Di telingaku terdengar suara orang-orang lain yang sedang bertaruh berapa lama aku akan ‘berakting’ kali ini. "Mason… berikan obatku…" Aku memohon dengan suara parau. "Kumohon… aku benar-benar akan mati…" Dia menghela napas. "Drama banget. Kalian perempuan bisa nggak sih berhenti pakai kata ‘mati’ buat mengancam laki-laki? Apa aku belum cukup mencintaimu?" "Yani benar. Selama aku nggak peduli, kamu sendiri yang akan berhenti dengan akting murahan ini." Saat itu, hatiku terasa lebih sakit daripada tenggorokanku. Aku tak lagi menjelaskan apa pun. Dengan tangan gemetar, aku mengirim sinyal permintaan bantuan kepada keluargaku.

Suamiku, Rian adalah sosok bos mafia yang paling ditakuti di Keluarga Liam dan dia selalu benci anak kecil. Namun, semuanya berubah sejak adik tiriku, Melisa pindah ke rumah sebelah bersama bayinya yang baru berusia enam bulan. Tiba-tiba saja, suamiku jadi sangat terobsesi dengan bayi itu. Dia menyuapi susu sendiri, menyanyikan lagu dan bahkan menggendong bayi itu ke mana pun dia pergi. Setiap hari dia pulang subuh dalam keadaan lelah, tapi wajahnya selalu dihiasi senyuman, seolah-olah bayi itu telah menyita seluruh jiwanya. Sementara aku menjadi sosok transparan di dunianya. Tiga hari yang lalu, mobilku diserempet orang dengan sengaja hingga menabrak pembatas jalan. Dengan kening berdarah dan kepala pening, aku meneleponnya lima puluh lima kali. Tak satu pun panggilanku diangkat, tapi dia malah mengunggah foto bayi itu di media sosialnya dengan keterangan, [Malaikat kecil sudah bisa tersenyum hari ini!] Aku sudah muak. Malam ini, di acara perjamuan makan keluarga yang dihadiri semua anggota keluarga. Aku menghabiskan gelas terakhirku dan meletakkannya. “Aku mau cerai.” Semua orang ternganga. “Kamu sudah gila?” teriak orang tuaku. Rian mencengkeram pergelangan tanganku dengan tatapan tidak percaya. “Yossi, hanya karena aku sibuk mengurus bayi dan nggak angkat teleponmu, kamu mau minta cerai?” “Bisa-bisanya kamu cemburu sama bayi enam bulan?” Aku tak membalas tatapannya. Mataku malah tertuju pada bekas cupang yang mencolok di belakang telinganya. “Kalau kamu memang begitu sayang sama bayi itu, aku akan merestui keinginanmu. Silakan jadi ayah dari anak itu saja,” ujarku dengan tenang.

After deciding to leave Azurea and follow Clara Miller to Northwood City, I was cast out by my parents. "That girl is an orphan–what can she possibly give you? If you choose a life of hardship now, you’ll spend the rest of your life suffering! Once you walk out that door, don’t bother coming back!" I left anyway. For five years, I watched Clara rise step by step, becoming one of Northwood City’s most respected psychologists. Just as she had promised, she gave me a home. As the New Year approached, I planned to take her back to Azurea to reconcile with my parents. However, just before boarding the plane, she abandoned me again–this time for a depressed patient threatening to take his own life. She let go of my hand, her eyes full of pain. "Julian Vance… he’s just like I used to be–alone, with no one to rely on. If I don’t go, he’ll jump. I’m sorry. Just this once. I’ll catch the next flight and meet you there." Then she turned and ran toward the exit without hesitation. I stood there, staring at the two plane tickets in my hand. She had saved everyone who needed redemption. Everyone… except me. Slowly, I tore up her ticket. Then I walked alone toward the security gate and turned off my phone. What Clara did not know was this: Some journeys home, once missed, are gone forever.
