Introduction

Pada usia 18 tahun, Patricia berkahwin dengan Martin Langley, seorang lelaki yang lumpuh dari pinggang ke bawah, bukannya dengan adik tirinya, Debbie Brown. Dia menemani Martin melalui saat-saat paling gelap dalam hidupnya.
Walaupun mereka telah berkahwin dan bersama selama dua tahun, hubungan mereka tidak bermakna sebanyak kepulangan Debbie bagi Martin.
Martin, demi merawat penyakit Debbie, dengan kejam mengabaikan kehamilan Patricia dan mengikatnya dengan kejam di meja pembedahan. Martin tidak berperasaan, meninggalkan Patricia berasa tidak bermaya, yang mendorongnya untuk pergi ke negara asing.
Namun, Martin tidak akan pernah melepaskan Patricia, walaupun dia membencinya. Dia tidak dapat menafikan bahawa dia mempunyai daya tarikan yang tidak dapat dijelaskan terhadap Patricia. Mungkinkah Martin, tanpa disedari, telah jatuh cinta dengan Patricia?
Apabila dia kembali dari luar negara, anak kecil di sisi Patricia itu anak siapa? Mengapa dia begitu mirip dengan Martin, si iblis yang menjelma?

Chapter 1

"Tahniah, Puan Langley, anda mengandung!" doktor itu memberitahu Patricia Watson.

Dengan penuh kegembiraan, Patricia Watson bergegas pulang dengan laporan ujian kehamilan, tidak sabar untuk berkongsi berita itu dengan Martin Langley.

"Martin, saya..." dia mula berkata.

"Patricia, kita cerai saja!" Martin bercakap pada masa yang sama.

Kegembiraannya terpadam, Patricia terpaksa menelan semula perkataan "mengandung" itu.

"Kenapa?" dia bertanya dengan suara yang bergetar, cuba sedaya upaya menyembunyikan kesakitannya.

Ia begitu tiba-tiba, dan dia memerlukan penjelasan.

Martin mengetap bibirnya yang nipis, matanya dingin.

"Debbie dah balik." Jawapannya membuat hati Patricia terasa dingin.

Dia pucat dan menggigit bibir bawahnya dengan kuat, hampir tidak dapat berdiri.

Debbie, cinta hati Martin yang telah hilang selama dua tahun, telah kembali.

Martin mengeluarkan cek dan meletakkannya di atas meja, berkata, "Ini 15 juta dolar. Sebahagiannya adalah penyelesaian perceraian kamu, dan sebahagian lagi adalah bayaran untuk menderma sumsum tulang kamu."

Patricia segera menjadi waspada dan secara naluri bertanya, "Apa maksud kamu?"

"Debbie ada anemia aplastik dan memerlukan pemindahan sumsum tulang dengan segera. Kamu adalah padanan 90%. Sebagai kakaknya, kamu kena selamatkan dia." Martin tidak memberi ruang untuk perundingan. Dia memberi arahan, bukan berbincang dengannya.

Patricia terpaku, merasa hancur hati.

Mereka telah berkahwin selama dua tahun. Tetapi sekarang, untuk menyelamatkan Debbie, yang pernah meninggalkannya, dia menceraikan Patricia dan bahkan memaksa dia menderma sumsum tulangnya!

"Menderma sumsum tulang kepada Debbie? Tidak mungkin! Ibunya telah merosakkan perkahwinan ibu bapa saya. Ibu saya tidak akan mengalami kemurungan dan membunuh diri jika bukan kerana ibunya. Dan sekarang kamu harapkan saya selamatkan dia? Tak akan terjadi!" Patricia mengetap gigi, kebencian membuak dalam hatinya apabila mengingat masa lalu.

"Kalau ada sedikit pun kasih sayang dari perkahwinan dua tahun kita, jangan paksa saya. Kalau tidak, saya tak akan maafkan kamu!"

Hati Martin tersentak kerana kata-katanya. Tetapi Patricia tidak menyedarinya. Dia terus mengambil pen dan dengan cepat menandatangani namanya pada perjanjian perceraian.

"Saya akan pindah keluar. Mulai sekarang, kita hanya dua orang asing." Dengan itu, Patricia meletakkan pen, bersedia untuk pergi.

Sebaik sahaja dia berpaling, dia terlanggar Debbie, yang baru masuk ke bilik.

Debbie memakai gaun putih, rambut panjangnya terurai di bahu, wajahnya pucat.

"Patricia, saya tahu kamu benci ibu saya, tapi kamu tak tahu cerita sebenar! Ibu saya bercinta dengan Ayah sebelum ibu kamu muncul. Tapi Atuk memisahkan mereka dan memaksa Ayah kahwin dengan ibu kamu..." dia menjelaskan.

Sebelum dia sempat menghabiskan kata-katanya, Patricia memotongnya.

"Cukup! Kalau Ayah benar-benar cintakan ibu kamu, kenapa dia kahwin dengan ibu saya? Kalau dia pilih ibu saya, dia patut setia. Dan ibu kamu tak patut datang untuk merosakkan keluarga saya.

"Debbie, ibu kamu curi suami ibu saya, dan sekarang kamu nak ambil suami saya pula! Apa, ini tradisi keluarga jadi perempuan simpanan?" Patricia memandang Debbie dengan sindiran.

"Patricia, macam mana kamu boleh cakap macam tu? Martin tunang saya. Kamu yang curi dia dari saya, dan sekarang kamu tuduh saya?" Debbie menunjukkan wajah yang tersinggung dan memandang Martin.

Patricia cepat membalas, "Kalau dia tunang kamu, kenapa kamu tiba-tiba hilang sehari sebelum majlis perkahwinan? Kamu lari sebab kecacatan dia, kan?

"Kalau kamu tetap di situ, saya tak akan kahwin dengan dia. Sekarang, kaki dia dah sembuh, jadi kamu nak dia balik. Debbie, kamu tak ada malu ke?"

"Patricia, bukan macam tu," Debbie menangis teresak-esak, mengelap air matanya.

Patricia melemparkan pandangan menghina ke arah Debbie dan mendengus, "Cukup. Aku bukan Martin. Air mata kau takkan berkesan pada aku! Kalau kau mahukan dia, ambillah. Tapi sumsum tulang aku? Tak mungkin!"

Dengan itu, dia menolak Debbie ke tepi dan meninggalkan bilik belajar tanpa menoleh ke belakang.

Melihat Patricia pergi, Martin merasakan sakit yang tak dapat dijelaskan dalam hatinya.

Tetapi kemudian, dia ketawa sinis, berfikir, 'Dia cuma wanita yang tamak dan mementingkan diri. Bagaimana aku boleh ada perasaan padanya? Ini pasti ilusi. Lagipun, kami sudah berkahwin selama dua tahun.'

Melihat belakang Patricia, Debbie menggenggam penumbuknya secara rahsia. Kemudian, dia menunjukkan wajah sedih kepada Martin, berkata perlahan, "Martin, Patricia tak setuju. Apa yang patut saya buat?"

Martin menjawab dengan tenang, "Aku akan suruh Alan terus mencari padanan untuk kau."

Ini bermakna dia membiarkan Patricia pergi.

"Tapi..." Debbie berasa kecewa.

Dia akhirnya menemui padanan yang sempurna untuk pemindahan sumsum tulangnya. Dia tak mahu menyerah begitu saja!

Merasa sedikit terganggu, Martin berkata dengan dingin, "Aku tak suka memaksa orang."

Menyedari sikap tegasnya, Debbie tidak berani berkata lebih. Dia menundukkan kepala, sekelumit niat jahat terpancar di matanya.

'Menyerah? Tidak! Apa pun yang terjadi, aku akan dapatkan sumsum tulangnya,' dia berkata dalam hati.


Patricia keluar dari bilik tidur dengan membawa beg pakaian. Melihat pintu bilik belajar yang tertutup, dia berasa sedih dan tanpa sedar menyentuh perutnya yang rata.

Dia berkata dalam hati, 'Selamat tinggal, Martin. Aku telah mencintai kau selama sepuluh tahun. Tapi mulai sekarang, aku hanya akan bersama dengan bayi aku saja.'

Dia menarik nafas panjang, menahan air mata, dan meninggalkan tempat yang telah didiaminya selama dua tahun. Kemudian, dia memandu ke apartmen kecil yang ditinggalkan oleh ibunya sebelum meninggal dunia.

Ketika Patricia mengeluarkan bagasinya dari but kereta, seseorang tiba-tiba menutup mulut dan hidungnya dari belakang.

Segera, bau menyengat memenuhi hidungnya.

Patricia cuba melawan tetapi mendapati dirinya lemah. Selepas sedikit perlawanan, tubuhnya menjadi lemah, dan dia pengsan.

Apabila dia sedar kembali, kesakitan yang teramat sangat membuatnya mengerang kesakitan.

Dia cuba membuka matanya tetapi gagal. Dia hanya dapat menghidu bau kuat disinfektan dan samar-samar mendengar perbualan.

"Tuan Langley, Puan Langley sedang mengandung. Jika kita teruskan dengan pemindahan sumsum tulang, bayi mungkin akan mati. Anda pasti mahu lakukan ini?" suara doktor lelaki kedengaran.

"Dia mengandung?" Martin terkejut tidak percaya.

Patricia, seolah-olah memegang nyawa, cuba memberitahu Martin bahawa dia mengandung anaknya. Dia fikir Martin takkan mempertaruhkan nyawa bayinya untuk menyelamatkan Debbie!

Tetapi walau seberapa keras dia mencuba, dia tidak dapat bersuara.

"Ya, sepatutnya lebih kurang sebulan," jawab doktor itu.

Patricia fikir walau sekejam mana pun Martin, walau sebanyak mana dia tidak menyukainya, dia akan mengampuninya demi bayi mereka.

Tetapi dia silap.

"Debbie tak boleh tunggu lagi. Teruskan dengan pembedahan. Jangan berhenti." Kata-kata Martin seperti pisau tajam, menusuk hati Patricia.

Dia tak pernah terfikir Martin boleh begitu kejam. Dia sanggup membunuh anaknya sendiri hanya untuk menyelamatkan Debbie!

"Tapi bayi..." doktor itu ragu-ragu.

"Bayi tak penting. Aku hanya mahu Debbie sihat." Kata-kata Martin yang tanpa belas kasihan sepenuhnya menghancurkan harapan Patricia.

Hatinya sakit, air mata yang panas membasahi pipinya.

Keputusasaan yang belum pernah dirasai menyelubungi Patricia. Pada saat ini, dia akhirnya memahami apa maksudnya patah hati sepenuhnya.

Dia cuba melawan, melarikan diri dari mimpi ngeri ini, tetapi dia tak berdaya. Yang dia mampu lakukan hanyalah terbaring ketika alat bedah yang sejuk menyentuh kulitnya.

Dia menangis dalam hati, 'Tidak! Tolong jangan! Tolong! Selamatkan bayi aku...'

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
