Introduction

Pada malam sebelum pernikahanku, aku diculik bersama saudari tiriku. Dengan pistol di kepalaku, penculik memaksa tunanganku untuk memilih: dia atau aku. Dia memilih saudari tiriku.
Ditinggalkan oleh keluargaku dan kehilangan segalanya, aku tak punya apa-apa lagi.
Namun kemudian, Dominic Voss, pemimpin berdarah dingin dari sebuah organisasi gelap, menyelamatkanku. "Aku jatuh cinta padamu pada pandangan pertama," katanya. "Jadilah wanitaku, dan aku akan membantumu membalas dendam." Tanpa pilihan lain, aku setuju.
Tak disangka, Dominic memperlakukanku sebagai satu-satunya, memberiku cinta dan perhatian yang tulus. Dia menghadapi masalah keluargaku, menghukum ayahku yang tidak bertanggung jawab dan ibu tiriku yang jahat.
Dengan dukungannya, aku bangkit dari seorang penari yang berjuang menjadi seniman terkenal di dunia.
Ketika mantan tunanganku mencoba untuk mendapatkan aku kembali, dia dihadapkan dengan pemandangan yang mengejutkan: Dominic melamarku di depan umum!
"Chloe, kamu sudah mencintaiku begitu lama..." dia memulai. Aku mengabaikannya, mencium Dominic dengan dalam dan menjawab, "Aku buta sebelumnya, memilih pria yang salah, tapi sekarang aku punya cinta sejati. Menjauhlah; suamiku mungkin saja akan menghajarmu."

Chapter 1

POV Chloe Morgan:

Hari ini adalah hari yang indah.

Aku sedang bercermin, mencoba kalung berlian yang memukau ini. Memikirkan pacarku, Liam Anderson, membuatku tersenyum seperti orang bodoh.

Besok, aku akan menikah dengannya dan akhirnya menjadi istrinya.

Aku Chloe Morgan, satu-satunya pewaris Morgan Group. Ibuku meninggal ketika aku masih kecil, tapi ayahku, James Morgan, selalu memperlakukanku seperti putri kecilnya.

Enam tahun lalu, ayahku menikahi pembantu rumah tangga kami, Mary Morgan, dan dia pindah bersama putrinya, Grace Dawson. Saat itulah semuanya mulai berantakan.

Liam, pria yang aku taksir sejak lama, jatuh cinta pada saudari tiriku, Grace. Dia bilang padaku bahwa dia menganggapku seperti saudara dan tidak pernah menyukaiku seperti itu, lalu dia mengejar Grace habis-habisan.

Tapi sebelum Grace muncul, dia berjanji akan menikahiku saat kami dewasa.

Grace menolaknya dan pergi ke luar negeri untuk belajar, dan Liam akhirnya menyerah.

Suatu malam, setelah beberapa gelas minuman, dia menciumku dan berkata, "Chloe, ayo kita bersama."

Aku telah berada di sisi Liam selama dua puluh tahun sebelum dia akhirnya menyadari keberadaanku. Setelah dua tahun berpacaran, kami akan segera menikah.

Memikirkan Liam membuatku merasa lebih baik, dan aku mengabaikan komentar sinis ibu tiriku, Mary.

Mary mencibir, "Kamu akan menikah, tapi kamu terlihat seperti sedang mencoba merayu seseorang."

Dia memutar matanya dan menambahkan, "Sejujurnya, kamu sudah mengejar Liam selama bertahun-tahun. Jika bukan karena wajah cantikmu, dia sudah menolakmu sejak lama."

Mary selalu tidak menyukaiku, lebih memihak putrinya sendiri, Grace.

Aku merasa marah, tapi aku menahannya.

Liam ingin kedua keluarga kami hadir di pernikahan besok. Meskipun Mary tidak menyukaiku, aku masih berharap untuk pernikahan yang bahagia dengan Liam.

Aku menarik napas dalam-dalam, berpikir bahwa begitu aku meninggalkan rumah ini, aku tidak perlu berurusan dengan Mary lagi.

Meskipun aku tidak ingin bertengkar dengannya malam sebelum pernikahanku, dia terus memancing.

Mary membentak, "Chloe, begini caramu dibesarkan, mengabaikan orang yang lebih tua? Membuatku bertanya-tanya bagaimana ibumu membesarkanmu. Semua orang tahu kamu sudah mengejar Liam selama bertahun-tahun. Kamu seharusnya malu mengejar seseorang yang menyukai Grace."

Mendengar nama Grace membuatku muak.

Itu Grace yang mengganggu hubunganku dengan Liam. Aku mulai mengejar Liam hanya setelah Grace menolaknya dan pergi ke luar negeri.

Aku menghabiskan bertahun-tahun menunggu Liam menyadari keberadaanku. Sekarang, dia akhirnya memilihku.

Kenapa aku harus merasa malu?

Hanya karena Grace menolak Liam, apakah itu membuatnya jadi milik Grace?

"Tapi dia dan Grace tidak pernah bersama!" aku membalas.

Mary menyatakan, "Jadi apa? Liam tidak pernah menyukaimu. Jika Grace tidak pergi ke luar negeri, kamu tidak akan punya kesempatan."

Aku tidak bisa menahannya lagi dan menatap Mary dengan tajam. "Apakah kamu ingin Liam menikahi Grace? Tidak peduli apa yang kamu katakan, aku tidak akan membatalkan pernikahan ini. Liam menyukaiku sekarang. Karena dia setuju untuk menikahiku, perasaannya untuk Grace sudah berakhir. Aku percaya bahwa meskipun Grace kembali, dia akan memilihku dan tidak akan membiarkanku menderita."

Mendengar kata-kataku, Mary terdiam sejenak sebelum berkata, "Sudahlah. Aku memesan gaun dari N.S untuk pernikahanmu besok. Pergilah ambil sekarang."

Aku sangat curiga.

Kenapa dia memesan gaun untuk pernikahanku?

Mungkin merasakan keraguanku, Mary mencibir. "Aku hanya tidak ingin mempermalukan keluarga Morgan di acara sebesar ini."

Apapun alasannya, selama dia tidak mengganggu kami besok, itu sudah cukup bagiku.

Aku melirik jam. Sudah larut, tapi aku masih bisa sampai jika berangkat sekarang.

Aku bergegas keluar, mengabaikan tatapan aneh Mary.

Di perjalanan menuju N.S, jalanan cukup sepi.

N.S, butik kelas atas untuk kalangan elit, terletak di Lianshan Bay yang terpencil dan luas.

Saat aku mendekati tikungan, aku memutar setir. Tiba-tiba, cahaya putih menyilaukan muncul, dan sebelum aku bisa bereaksi, terdengar benturan keras.

Mobilku bertabrakan dengan mobil hitam.

Benturan itu begitu kuat sehingga kepalaku terbentur setir, menyebabkan rasa sakit tumpul dan dengungan terus-menerus di telingaku.

Pintu mobil ditarik terbuka, dan detik berikutnya, tudung dilemparkan ke kepalaku.

Seseorang menyeretku keluar dari mobil dan memukul bagian belakang leherku dengan tongkat. Saat aku kehilangan kesadaran, aku mendengar seseorang di dekatku menelepon. "Aku sudah melakukan apa yang kau minta."

Sebuah ember air dingin disiramkan ke kepalaku, membangunkanku kembali.

Aku menggerakkan tanganku, yang terikat di belakang punggung, dan merasakan sakit yang menyayat di bahuku, menunjukkan betapa kasar para penjahat ini mengikatku.

Tiba-tiba, tudung di kepalaku ditarik, dan aku didorong kasar ke tanah. Cahaya yang tiba-tiba membuat mataku berair, dan butuh beberapa saat untuk menyesuaikan diri dan melihat dengan jelas.

Di gudang yang bobrok, aku dikelilingi oleh pria-pria bertudung hitam. Di depanku berdiri seorang pria dengan mantel panjang, mata cokelat tajam, dan hidung tinggi.

Dia tampak cemas dan memperingatkan, "Jangan sentuh dia!"

Itu Liam!

Dia datang untuk menyelamatkanku!

Aku baru saja mau bicara ketika sebuah pisau dingin ditekan ke leherku. Mereka menatap Liam dengan tatapan mengancam dan salah satu dari mereka berkata, "Liam, pilih satu."

Apa maksudnya?

Aku menatap Liam dengan bingung, hanya untuk menyadari bahwa pandangannya bukan padaku tapi pada orang di sebelahku.

Suara tangisan wanita yang familiar terdengar dari sebelahku. "Liam, aku takut."

Aku memutar kepalaku dengan kaku dan melihat wajah yang sudah bertahun-tahun tidak kulihat.

Apa yang Grace lakukan di sini?

"Liam, aku tahu kau kaya dan bisa menyelamatkan kedua wanita ini dengan mudah. Tapi aku tidak ingin membuatnya semudah itu bagimu. Mari kita mainkan sebuah permainan," kata penjahat yang memegangku dengan senyum kejam.

Lalu dia melanjutkan, "Aku melakukan sedikit riset sebelum menangkap mereka. Satu adalah tunanganmu, yang akan kau nikahi besok, dan satu lagi adalah wanita yang telah kau cintai selama bertahun-tahun. Pilih satu. Kau hanya bisa menyelamatkan salah satu dari mereka."

Kulit kepalaku terasa sakit saat penculik itu menarik rambutku, memaksaku untuk menengadah.

Aku tahu aku pasti terlihat berantakan, dengan rambut yang telah ditata dengan hati-hati tercabut berantakan, gaun yang sengaja kuganti sekarang berdebu, dan seluruh tubuhku terasa sakit.

Air mata kesakitan mengaburkan penglihatanku, tapi Liam tidak memandangku sedikit pun.

Lalu, aku mendengar suaranya, jelas dan dingin, seperti hukuman dari neraka, "Tidak perlu berpikir. Aku memilih Grace. Sekarang, lepaskan dia."

He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

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.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
