What Book Does Nico Di Angelo First Appear In

"I, Alpha Dean Smith, reject you, Tamara Brown, you pathetic little orphan, as my mate and Luna," Alpha Dean Smith says. He has plans for his pack, and he first wants to eliminate all the pathetic wolves in his pack. Dean can not believe that the Moon Goddess played such a trick on him by giving him the most pathetic she-wolf in his pack as his mate. Tamara and her wolf Winter feel the pain of his rejection where they stand in front of the Alpha. She refuses to beg or cry. For too long did she allow everyone to walk all over her. "I, Tamara Brown, accept your rejection, Alpha Dean Smith. I may be a pathetic orphan in your eyes, but my parents gave their lives for your pack," Tamara says. Dean is furious! How dare she not beg him to make her stay? "Get out! Take the pathetic bunch of wolves with you! I never want to see you again! The Red River pack does not need useless wolves like you!" Dean shouts. Dean has plans for the Red River pack. He plans to make it the biggest and best pack in America, and he has no place for wolves who can not fight! Tamara starts walking away, and the other "pathetic wolves" follow her. "Why are you following me? You also do not like me! Go your own way," Tamara says as she walks towards the border of the Red Wood Pack.

Devan Atmadja, pria yang katanya mencintaiku sepenuh hati. Di mata orang lain, dia adalah suami teladan… pria idaman. Namun, dia telah mengkhianatiku tiga kali. Pertama kali, tiga tahun lalu. Sahabatnya, Dion Prasetya, meninggal demi menyelamatkannya. Devan menyembunyikan semuanya dariku, lalu diam-diam menikah dengan pacar Dion, Keira Maheswari. Hatiku saat itu hancur. Aku sudah bersiap pergi. Namun, malam itu juga, dia mengirim wanita itu ke luar negeri, lalu berlutut di hadapanku, memohon dengan penuh kesedihan. “Viona… Dion mati demi aku. Aku harus menjaga istrinya. Surat nikah itu hanya jaminan untuk Keira. Setelah membalaskan dendam Dion, aku akan menceraikannya. Satu-satunya wanita yang kucintai… hanya kamu!” Dan bodohnya… aku memaafkannya. Setahun kemudian, Devan justru mengumumkan status Keira sebagai nyonya besar keluarga di depan semua media. Dia kembali memberiku penjelasan. “Keira adalah putri tunggal Keluarga mafia Maheswari. Pernikahan ini adalah bentuk aliansi demi membalas dendam untuk Dion! Kami sudah sepakat, setelah semua selesai, aku akan menceraikannya… lalu menikahimu!” Lagi-lagi aku percaya padanya. Kemudian setahun lalu, di sebuah pesta, Devan dijebak dan menghabiskan malam bersama Keira. Dia menutupinya dariku. Sampai dua minggu lalu, ketika aku melihatnya sendiri, dia menemani wanita itu melakukan pemeriksaan kehamilan di rumah sakit. Dengan tatapan yang tak sanggup bertemu denganku, dia berbisik, “Viona, ini cuma kecelakaan. Setelah dia melahirkan, aku akan mengirimnya pergi. Anaknya akan diasuh orang tuaku, dan seumur hidup mereka tak akan pernah muncul di hadapanmu.” Dengan dalih cinta, Devan membuatku terus mengalah. Tapi hari ini… aku sadar. Tak ada lagi masa depan untuk kami. Sudah saatnya… aku pergi.

"Fine!" I acquiescently cave in. "He better keeps his eyes off of you, or I'll poke his eyeballs out of its socket!" I grumbled exasperatedly. She just shook her head again in disbelief.

Doesn't matter who I married. Someone's gotta keep an eye on Leone so he doesn't screw up everything Leonard built." I checked her study. Found a hidden folder—over 100,000 photos of Leonard. A hundred unsent love letters. Even I couldn't fake it anymore. Bought a silicone dummy. Laid out the plan. The fire would be step one. Dead or alive—we're done.
