Introduction

Dia menjulang di atas tubuh kecilku. Otot-ototnya menonjol di balik kain pakaiannya saat dia melangkah lebih dekat ke arahku. Aku ingin pergi, tapi dia tidak membiarkanku. Tangannya melingkar di lenganku.

“Kamu adalah pasanganku.”

“Pasangan yang dipilih,” aku mengingatkannya. Aku telah belajar bahwa ada perbedaan yang sangat jelas antara keduanya. Koneksi pasangan takdir, yang diciptakan oleh dewi bulan sendiri, adalah sesuatu yang begitu tak terbantahkan dan murni.

Atau setidaknya begitu yang kudengar.

Geramannya yang keras menggema di seluruh ruangan dan bergetar melalui tubuhku saat dia menarikku ke arahnya. Lengannya seperti batang logam tebal yang mengurungku. Matanya berputar antara amber terang dan hitam.

“Aku tidak peduli. Kamu. Adalah. Pasanganku.”

“Tapi—“

Dia memegang daguku dengan dua jari, memaksaku untuk menatapnya dan secara efektif membungkamku.

“Kamu tidak mendengarkan?”

——————
Mereka ingin aku menjadi pasangan pangeran mahkota mereka. Aku, seorang manusia biasa, dipasangkan dengan monster yang kejam!

Kami telah berperang dengan para werewolf selama bertahun-tahun. Aku melihat banyak teman dan keluargaku mati di bawah cakar werewolf. Aku mungkin kecil dan lemah, tapi sekarang para serigala datang lagi untuk rumahku dan aku tidak bisa diam saja.

Aku bisa melindungi mereka, tapi untuk melakukannya, aku harus memenuhi tuntutan musuhku. Mereka percaya aku akan melakukan apa yang mereka katakan, karena aku takut dan jujur saja, aku sangat ketakutan. Tinggal bersama monster dari mimpi burukku, siapa yang tidak takut?

Namun, aku tidak akan pernah berpaling dari rakyatku, bahkan jika aku tidak akan selamat dari ini.

Dan pangeran mahkota? Menyebabkan kehancuran dan keputusasaan sudah mengalir dalam darahnya. Dia mungkin bahkan lebih buruk dari yang lainnya.

Benar, kan?

Chapter 1

EMMA

Manusia serigala datang pada malam bulan darah. Langit berubah merah saat mereka menerobos kota dan menarik gadis-gadis serta wanita dari rumah mereka. Kekacauan terjadi ketika gadis pertama dibunuh. Namanya Hannah dan dia adalah sahabatku.

—————

Aku melihat keluar jendela kamar tidurku dan memperhatikan langit yang berwarna merah. Terlihat mengancam dibandingkan dengan matahari terbenam. Aku bisa melihat Hannah berjalan menuju rumah kami di ujung jalan. Matanya berwarna biru cerulean dan rambutnya cokelat hazelnut yang mencapai punggung bawahnya. Aku selalu sedikit iri pada Hannah karena rambutnya yang lurus dan mudah diatur.

"Bu, boleh aku keluar sebentar? Hannah sudah di sini," aku berteriak kepada ibuku di lantai bawah.

Suara merdu ibuku terdengar melalui tangga. "Hanya sebentar saja, ya Sayang? Ibu butuh bantuanmu dengan kue ini."

"Ya, aku janji."

"Ada kue?" Lucas memanggil dari kamarnya dan mengintip dari pintu. Rambut pirangnya berantakan seperti biasa.

"Tentu saja ada kue, bodoh. Ini ulang tahunku," aku bernyanyi dan mengabaikan adikku yang menyebalkan saat dia membalas dengan komentar.

Aku berlari menuruni tangga dan menuju pintu depan. Kami tinggal di rumah bercat putih di jalan terkecil di Aldea. Biasanya sangat ramai dengan banyak tanaman hijau di halaman depan dan orang-orang berbicara satu sama lain, tapi hari ini ada hawa dingin yang menggantung di udara.

Aku melihat seorang pria dengan seragam hitam dan sepatu bot kulit hitam berjalan ke jalan kecil kami. Aku mengenal semua orang yang tinggal di sini, tapi pria ini tidak dikenal.

Dia berjalan mendekati Hannah dan aku melihat bagaimana cakar tumbuh dari tangannya dan menembus jantungnya. Aku melihat darah meresap ke gaunnya dan bagaimana kehidupan menghilang dari mata biru ceruleannya.

Aku berteriak dan ibuku muncul di pintu di sampingku. Pria itu melihat ke arah kami dengan kilatan ganas di matanya. Lebih banyak pria muncul dan berjalan ke jalan kecil kami, mengelilingi pria itu.

Ibuku menarikku menjauh dari pintu dan mendesakku untuk lari keluar pintu belakang dan menuju hutan gelap di belakang rumah kami. Dia tidak berhenti untuk mencari adikku atau ayahku. Dia hanya menarikku menjauh dari kekacauan.

Seperti dia tahu mengapa mereka di sini dan apa yang mereka cari.

Rumah-rumah dari kota menghilang di belakang kami dan digantikan oleh deretan pohon pinus yang tak berujung. Pohon-pohon pinus yang tinggi melemparkan bayangan di atas tanah. Tanah bergetar di bawah kakiku saat para monster semakin mendekat. Ibuku menarik lenganku, jarinya mencengkeram keras kulitku saat dia mendesakku untuk berlari lebih cepat melalui hutan.

Kenangan darah menetes di trotoar tempat manusia serigala merobek daging menguasai pikiranku.

Aku tidak bisa berlari lebih cepat, dadaku terengah-engah dan ototku terbakar. Kakiku lemah dan memohonku untuk melambat. Kami berlari sampai kabin kayu terlihat. Kabin pemburu itu tua dan ditinggalkan. Ada lubang di atap dan jendelanya pecah.

Aku dan teman-temanku biasa menyelinap masuk ke sini dari waktu ke waktu dan menceritakan cerita seram di malam hari, tapi tidak ada cerita yang pernah seseram ini.

Dadaku terengah-engah saat kami berhenti berlari. Aku bisa merasakan aroma hutan di udara lembab. Kami melangkahi biji pinus dan ranting pohon yang patah menuju teras.

Pintu kayu berderit protes saat ibuku membawa kami masuk. Lantainya ditutupi daun-daun mati, tertiup angin melalui jendela.

Kakiku akhirnya menyerah dan ibuku menarikku dalam pelukan erat. Satu-satunya suara di sekitar kami adalah napas kami yang berat. Dia menarikku kembali dan menatap mataku. Pandanganku kabur, tapi aku masih bisa melihat bahwa matanya yang biru langit keras dan dingin, sesuatu yang belum pernah kulihat sebelumnya.

"Kita hanya punya sedikit waktu, jadi dengarkan baik-baik."

Tanganku gemetar saat adrenalin mulai mereda. "Bu, aku takut." Kabin itu dingin tanpa sinar matahari dan meninggalkan bulu kuduk di kulitku.

Dia menggosok tangannya ke atas dan ke bawah lenganku yang telanjang. "Aku tahu sayang, tapi kamu harus mendengarku, oke?"

Aku mengangguk dan menggenggam kalung yang diberikan ibuku pada ulang tahunku yang kesepuluh, tepat empat tahun lalu. Aku selalu menyentuhnya saat merasa gugup atau takut. Liontinnya terbuat dari kaca tiup tangan dan berbentuk bulan sabit. Itu transparan dan menggantung di rantai kalung perak.

Ibuku menutupi tanganku dengan tangannya. "Kamu harus sangat hati-hati dengan ini, oke?"

Aku mengangguk lagi.

"Sekarang, tetap diam." Kata ibuku dan matanya berubah menjadi hitam.

Aku secara naluriah menarik diri darinya, tapi cengkeramannya padaku sangat kuat. Mulutnya bergerak saat dia mulai menggumamkan serangkaian kata dalam bahasa yang tidak aku mengerti.

"Bu, apa yang terjadi?" Rasa sakit tajam menyala di dadaku. Sebuah teriakan ingin keluar dari bibirku, tapi ibuku menutup mulutku dengan erat.

Rasa sakit menusuk jantungku dan menyebar ke seluruh tubuhku. Sampai ke ubun-ubun kepalaku dan ujung-ujung jariku. Aku memejamkan mata sambil memohon dalam hati agar dia berhenti.

Setelah satu menit yang terasa seperti berjam-jam, rasa sakit akhirnya meninggalkan tubuhku melalui dadaku. Ketika aku membuka mata, ada tatapan sedih di mata birunya.

Getaran di bawah kami kembali dan aku melihat ibuku saat ketakutan menggantikan tekadnya.

Kata-katanya hampir seperti bisikan. "Mereka sudah dekat. Kamu harus bersembunyi."

Dia melihat sekeliling ruangan sejenak. Lalu pandangannya tertuju pada lemari dapur. Pintu lemari yang dulunya merah itu hampir terlepas dari engselnya.

Dia membimbingku masuk ke dalam ruang gelap. "Dengar baik-baik, apa pun yang terjadi. Janjikan padaku kamu tidak akan bergerak dan tidak akan bersuara."

Aku ingin bertanya apa yang sedang terjadi. Aku ingin bertanya di mana Lucas dan Ayah, tapi tatapan dingin di matanya menghentikanku. "Aku janji," bisikku.

Dia menutup pintu dengan erat, memaksa kayu pada tempatnya. Aku berjongkok di ruang gelap yang sempit, tapi aku masih bisa melihat segalanya melalui celah di antara pintu.

Pintu terbuka dan berbenturan dengan dinding. Seorang pria paruh baya dengan sepatu bot kulit hitam dan seragam hitam berjalan masuk ke kabin. Ada tiga bintang emas yang disulam di seragamnya. Rambut hitamnya dipotong pendek. Garis-garis di wajahnya dalam dan matanya cokelat berlumpur. Dia berjalan melalui ruangan dan melihat sekeliling seolah-olah menilai pilihan interior.

"Apa yang kamu inginkan?" Tanya ibuku dengan punggung menghadap ke arahku.

"Kamu tahu apa yang kami inginkan." Suaranya serak dan menyakitkan di telingaku.

Langkah kakinya berat saat dia mendekati ibuku dan dia menjulang di atasnya. "Di mana dia? Aku tahu kamu menyembunyikan seseorang."

Ibuku tidak setinggi itu tapi tidak mundur. "Tidak ada orang lagi, kamu membunuh mereka semua."

Pria itu tertawa kecil dan matanya berubah menjadi hitam. Sebuah senyum jahat memperlihatkan taring di mulutnya dan aku menahan napas.

"Tidak semuanya."

Kata-kata itu masih bergema di ruangan dan aku hampir tidak bisa melihat gerakannya berikutnya. Dari tangannya tumbuh cakar panjang yang tajam. Segalanya tampak terjadi dalam gerakan lambat. Dalam waktu kurang dari satu napas, cakar itu merobek dada ibuku. Dia jatuh ke tanah dan darahnya meresap ke lantai kayu.

Tanganku gemetar saat aku menutupi mulutku untuk menahan teriakan. Air mata mengaburkan penglihatanku dan jatuh di pipiku. Dadaku sakit, seperti terkoyak dari dalam.

Setelah satu menit keheningan yang singkat, suara sepatu bot berat bergema di seluruh kabin lagi. Dia melangkah pelan di atas kaca yang pecah dan kayu yang berderak.

"Ibumu wanita yang licik, tapi aku memperkirakan dia lebih pintar dari ini." Langkah kakinya semakin mendekat dan aku bisa melihat kilauan sepatu bot kulit hitamnya.

"Aku bisa mencium baumu dari luar." Dia merobek pintu lemari dari engselnya. Sebuah tangan besar mencengkeram leherku dan dia menarikku ke udara. Taring tajam muncul saat dia menunjukkan giginya yang mengerikan.

Aku melanggar janji yang baru saja kubuat dan mengeluarkan teriakan yang memekakkan telinga.
