Introduction

Setelah kematian orang tuanya, Harlow dan saudara kembarnya, Zara, ditempatkan di sebuah suaka omega.

Ada sesuatu yang istimewa tentang Harlow, dan dia mendapati dirinya dilelang, tidak lagi aman di tempat yang seharusnya melindungi mereka. Saudara perempuannya melangkah maju, mengambil tempatnya, hanya untuk berakhir terbunuh oleh kawanan yang ditakdirkan untuknya. Ketika mereka mengetahui bahwa Harlow bukanlah yang mereka terima, dia harus melarikan diri, menyamar sebagai kembarannya, dengan asumsi tidak ada yang akan mencari gadis yang sudah mati.

Harlow menyadari betapa salahnya dia ketika dua kawanan alfa bergabung dalam perburuan untuknya. Sekarang, dia harus melarikan diri dari para penawar dan pihak berwenang di dunia yang penuh dengan alfa. Menjadi omega bukan hanya berkah tetapi juga kutukan.

Ada satu masalah: Harlow tidak tunduk pada pria mana pun, terutama seorang alfa. Ketika dia mendapatkan pekerjaan dengan kawanan alfa yang telah memburunya, dia menempatkan dirinya dalam posisi berbahaya. Bisakah Harlow menjaga identitas aslinya tetap rahasia, atau akankah dia ditemukan dan dihukum karena melarikan diri dari alfanya?

Chapter 1

~Harlow~

Hasil tes Omega-ku baru saja keluar, dan lebih dari seratus penawar telah bergabung dalam lelang online. Saat aku dan adikku, Zara, menatap layar, perutku terasa mual. Bagaimana hidupku bisa jadi seperti ini? Semua karena tes genku terbukti kuat—cocok sempurna untuk sebuah Pack Alpha.

Kami tidak bisa melihat siapa para penawar itu, tapi kami mengenali beberapa nama pack, dan aku berdoa mereka tidak menang. Jantungku berdebar kencang, dan aku tak bisa menonton lagi. Aku menatap celana pendek piyama katun berwarna merah muda yang kupakai, memunguti serat-serat kecil untuk mengalihkan pikiranku dari hidupku yang semakin berantakan. Aku tak percaya Pak Black menjualku ke masa depan yang tak pernah kuinginkan.

Zara dan aku terperangkap di fasilitas Omega sejak orang tua kami meninggal. Pemilik fasilitas itu melatih kami untuk menjadi Omega yang sempurna, dan sekarang mereka melelangku kepada penawar tertinggi. Ini bukan hidup yang kubayangkan atau kuinginkan. Bukan yang akan kupilih untuk diriku sendiri.

Kembaranku, Zara, menyukai menjadi Omega: perhatian, pujian yang tiada henti, dan pengaguman. Aku berharap bisa memiliki setengah saja dari antusiasme atau kepercayaan dirinya.

Sebagai kembar, kami sangat berbeda. Kami terlihat identik, kecuali bekas luka yang melintang di hidung Zara, di bawah matanya, hingga ke telinganya. Meski begitu, kecantikannya tak terbantahkan. Tapi banyak dari kecantikannya berasal dari cara dia membawa dirinya. Dia percaya diri, tangguh, namun manis—Omega yang sempurna. Semua kualitas ini yang diinginkan para Alpha dalam Omega mereka.

Sementara aku pendiam dan cenderung menghindar, Zara bersinar di bawah sorotan.

Saat kejadian kemarin terlintas di benakku, aku sekali lagi terjun ke dalam jurang ketakutan dan ketidakberdayaan. Lelang sedang berlangsung, dan aku takut akan hasilnya. Bagaimana jika Pack Obsidian yang terkenal—yang disebut Pembunuh Omega—menang dalam lelangku? Bagaimana aku bisa bertahan?

~SEHARI SEBELUMNYA, PENGUMUMAN TES OMEGA~

Zara menggenggam jariku dan meremasnya saat kami menunggu hasil skor gen Omega-ku. Aku berharap kami berdua akan mekar pada saat yang sama, tapi takdir selalu punya rencana lain untukku. Takdir benar-benar suka mengujiku, dan pengujian adalah apa yang dilakukan oleh Sanctuary Omega. Sekarang, aku khawatir akan dipisahkan dari adikku, terjebak dalam nasib yang tidak kuinginkan dan terjebak sendirian.

"Mereka bilang kita akan tetap bersama, Low. Mereka tidak akan memisahkan kita. Kembar Omega itu langka. Kamu akan lihat, semuanya akan baik-baik saja," bisik Zara, menyikutku dengan lembut. Aku tersenyum sedih padanya dan mengangguk, berdoa semoga dia benar.

Kami duduk di lobi rumah lelang, menunggu sebelum aku akan dilelang, tergantung pada seberapa tinggi hasil tes gennya. Pintu kantor terdekat terbuka lebar, menampilkan Bu Yates yang sangat gembira. Aku belum pernah melihat seorang wanita begitu bahagia saat dia berseru kegirangan, melambaikan kertas-kertas di atas kepalanya.

Zara dan aku tersentak mendengar suara mengejutkan itu sementara pelelang, Pak Black, menatap ke arahnya dari tempat dia duduk dengan setelan mahalnya. “Apa yang membuatmu begitu bersemangat, Yates?” tanyanya.

Matanya membelalak saat dia menatapku. “Dia memecahkan rekor,” bisik Bu Yates, matanya masih terpaku pada ekspresiku yang terkejut.

Zara melirik ke arahku, dan aku padanya, keduanya bingung setengah mati.

“Apa? Tidak mungkin! Feromon Omega tidak pernah lebih dari lima puluh lima. Skornya tidak berubah selama bertahun-tahun,” katanya sambil bangkit dari kursinya dan merebut kertas dari tangan Bu Yates.

Wajahnya yang terpesona tidak memudar saat Pak Black memeriksa hasilnya.

“Delapan puluh tujuh persen murni Omega,” kata Bu Yates dengan senyum lebar. Aku terkejut mendengar kata-katanya.

“Ini tidak mungkin nyata. Uji lagi,” Pak Black mendengus, mengembalikan kertas itu ke tangannya dengan tidak percaya. Aku setuju dengannya. Uji aku lagi. Pikirku. Ini bukan sesuatu yang aku inginkan dalam catatanku.

“Mereka sudah menguji empat kali,” gumamnya. Senyum di bibirnya hampir membelah wajahnya menjadi dua. Rambutnya yang mulai beruban terlihat hampir putih di bawah lampu neon yang terang, dan aku merasakan darah mengalir keluar dari wajahku.

Kemudian, tiba-tiba, Pak Black tertawa terbahak-bahak. “Kita baru saja mendapatkan uang besar, sayang. Kamu tahu berapa banyak yang bisa kita dapatkan untuknya?” Dia hampir melompat kegirangan.

“Tunggu, kamu bilang kita akan dilelang bersama,” Zara menyela, melirikku dengan gugup. Seperti biasa, Zara siap membelaku, sementara aku hanya bisa menatap semua orang dengan ngeri. Ini tidak mungkin terjadi!

Delapan puluh tujuh persen adalah tingkat status Alpha Pack, yang berarti semua Alpha Pack. Panik menyelimuti diriku, menyebar ke seluruh tubuhku seperti api, mengambil alih setiap otot dan semua indraku.

“Keadaan berubah; dia terlalu berharga. Dia akan dilelang besok. Sial, dia akan menghasilkan banyak uang. Semoga cukup untuk menyelamatkan tempat ini,” kata Pak Black.

Aku melihat dia menyibakkan rambut gelapnya dari wajahnya. Kertas kerja itu secara ajaib muncul kembali di tangannya, dan dia menatap skor itu. Aku hampir bisa melihat tanda dolar berkilauan di matanya.

“Tunggu! Berhenti! Kami kembar; kamu tidak bisa memisahkan kami,” Zara melawan, masih menjaga suaranya meskipun tahu itu sia-sia.

Pak Black menyeringai saat matanya melirik ke arahnya dan menyipit sedikit. “Kalian dimiliki oleh negara. Kalian hidup di bawah perawatanku, dan membesarkan Omega membutuhkan banyak uang. Dia akan dilelang besok, tanpa kamu. Tapi kamu tidak pernah tahu, begitu kamu mekar, mungkin siapa pun yang membelinya akan menginginkan cadangan.” Dia tertawa jahat dan berjalan pergi sementara Bu Yates memberikan senyum penuh belas kasihan kepada kami.

“Tidak apa-apa, anak-anak. Kamu akan mendapatkan harga tinggi, Harlow. Itu berarti pembelimu akan merawatmu dengan baik,” kata Bu Yates mencoba menghibur kami.

Air mata membakar mataku saat genggaman Zara pada tanganku semakin erat. Tentu saja, seolah-olah aku tidak tahu apa yang dia maksud dengan mengatakan seseorang akan merawatku dengan baik. Sebaik mungkin setelah membeli aku di lelang untuk dijadikan pengembang biak. Dan yang lebih parah, mereka akan memisahkanku dari kembaranku.


Desahan Zara menarikku keluar dari pikiranku, dan aku langsung melihat ke layar komputer. Hatiku tenggelam: lima ratus ribu dolar.

Aku menatap adikku. Mulutnya terbuka, sama terkejutnya denganku. Kami terus menunggu nama kelompok muncul. Kami harus melihat siapa yang menawarkan tawaran tertinggi dan memenangkan aku.

Namun saat nama itu muncul, rasa takut menggenang di perutku, lubang yang dalam terbentuk sehingga aku lupa bagaimana cara bernapas.

Kelompok Obsidian.

Itu adalah kelompok yang pernah kudengar, tapi bukan karena alasan yang baik. Itu juga kelompok yang seluruh anggotanya adalah Alpha, setidaknya itu yang kutahu. Aku menggelengkan kepala saat air mata menggenang dan tumpah dari mataku, mengalir di pipiku dan menetes dari daguku. Bibir Zara bergetar.

“Tidak!” dia terengah-engah, ngeri. Kelompok itu terkenal karena kehilangan Omega, dan aku mungkin tidak akan berbeda.

Kelompok Obsidian membeli enam gadis dari tempat penampungan saat kami tinggal di sini, dan tidak satu pun yang selamat. Tidak ada yang bisa menerima simpul Alpha. Bahkan dengan serum. Gadis-gadis lain di fasilitas ini menyebut kelompok itu Pembunuh Omega!

Aku menelan ludah.

“Mungkin kita bisa bilang tidak,” Zara menyarankan dengan berbisik, tapi itu tidak menawarkan harapan. Kami adalah milik negara dan tidak punya pilihan di mata pemerintah. Kami berhutang budi kepada negara karena merawat kami, jadi kami sama sekali tidak punya hak suara. Omega adalah milik karena Omega adalah satu-satunya yang bisa memberikan pewaris untuk melanjutkan garis keturunan Alpha. Kami dihormati dan istimewa, dan tampaknya, kami mendapatkan harga tinggi.

Semua Omega akhirnya berakhir di kelompok, tapi aku tidak berpikir aku akan dijual ke kelompok yang begitu kejam dan ditakuti. Aku tidak pernah membayangkan aku akan berakhir dengan Pembunuh Omega.

Zara memelukku, air matanya membasahi bahuku. “Aku tidak akan membiarkan mereka mengambilmu,” janjinya dengan tegas. “Kita akan mencari jalan keluar, aku janji. Aku tidak akan membiarkan kamu menjadi korban berikutnya dari Kelompok Obsidian.”


Sore itu, aku menerima serum Alpha dari Kelompok Obsidian. Serum itu seharusnya membantu Omega beradaptasi dengan Alpha kami. Itu juga memastikan DNA Alpha diturunkan kepada calon pewaris karena begitu seorang Alpha menandai anggota kelompok lainnya, DNA-nya berubah.

Bu Yates duduk bersamaku sementara aku menggosok pantatku, sakit dari tempat dokter menyuntikku dengan jarumnya. Bu Yates meremas jariku. “Maaf, Harlow, aku sudah mencoba berbicara dengan Pak Black agar tidak melakukannya.”

"Kelompok itu... Mereka membunuh enam gadis. Enam, Bu Yates, enam gadis!" Aku berbisik, sadar bahwa aku akan menjadi korban berikutnya di tangan mereka.

Atau cakar.

Atau gigi.

Atau simpul!

"Kamu lebih kuat dari yang lain," dia menawarkan, tapi aku menggelengkan kepala. "Maaf, tapi..." dia menghela napas. Tidak ada yang bisa dia katakan yang akan membuatku merasa lebih baik.

"Janji, setelah aku mati, kamu tidak akan mengirim Zara kepada mereka. Aku tahu dia akan dites sebaik aku; kami kembar," aku memohon padanya.

Bu Yates mengangguk. "Aku akan berusaha sebaik mungkin. Janji." Dia mendorongku dan mengantarku kembali ke kamarku.


Beberapa hari berlalu sebelum kelompok itu datang menjemputku. Zara merapikan rambut dan merias wajahku. Dia juga merias wajahnya, tapi aku tidak mengerti kenapa. Meskipun dia lebih feminin di antara kami berdua, dia membenci make-up sama seperti aku.

Hari ini, aku akan bertemu dengan kelompokku. Kelompok yang sama sekali tidak aku inginkan. Melihat jam hanya membuatku semakin gugup, sementara Zara terisak saat dia memperbaiki rambutku agar terlihat persis seperti rambutnya. Kami mengenakan gaun yang sama ketika aku mendengar bunyi pager, memberi tahu bahwa mereka sudah tiba.

Kulitku merinding saat ketakutan meresap ke setiap sel tubuhku, tapi aku merasa dingin saat bangkit untuk meninggalkan kamar. Ketika aku meraih pintu, aku merasakan sesuatu disemprotkan di sisi wajahku. Aku menepisnya dan berbalik untuk melihat Zara memegang kaleng semprot di tangannya. Air mata memenuhi matanya, dan penglihatanku kabur saat dia menyemprotkannya lagi.

"Kenapa kamu menyemprotku dengan penghilang bau?" tanyaku, tersedak dan batuk saat sebagian masuk ke mulutku. Di tengah batukku, dia menusukkan jarum ke lenganku. Sebelum aku menyadari apa yang terjadi, kakiku menjadi lemas, dan aku meraih dirinya.

Zara menyeretku kembali dan menyelimutiku di tempat tidur, tapi aku berjuang untuk tetap sadar.

"Zara!" Aku menggumam panik.

"Aku tidak akan membiarkanmu mati. Ketahuilah bahwa aku mencintaimu," dia berbisik, mencium pipiku.

Apa yang dia suntikkan padaku, dan darimana dia mendapatkannya? Aku tidak bisa bergerak saat melihat dia mengambil tas dan kartu identitasku dengan ngeri.

Ini menjelaskan kenapa dia memakai make-up. Dia perlu menutupi bekas luka di wajahnya. Itu satu-satunya yang membedakan kami. Tepat sebelum dia keluar, dia mendekatiku.

"Saat kamu bangun, berpura-puralah menjadi aku; aku tidak akan membiarkan Obsidian Pack membunuhmu. Aku tahu kamu membenci hal-hal Omega ini, dan aku tidak bisa membiarkanmu mengalaminya. Melarikan diri dan terus gunakan penghilang bau sampai kamu berhasil." Kata-katanya semakin lembut saat penglihatanku kabur. Lingkunganku perlahan menghilang saat penglihatanku diambil oleh apapun yang dia gunakan untuk membiusku.

"Aku mencintaimu, Low. Sekarang jadilah Omega yang baik," adalah kata-kata terakhir yang kudengar sebelum pintu tertutup di belakangnya.

Dia mengambil tempatku. Zara mengambil tempatku dan berkorban untukku. Aku membunuhnya, membunuh saudariku sendiri, kembarku. Sebuah air mata jatuh di pipiku saat tubuhku yang lumpuh tersedot ke dalam kegelapan.

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.
