Introduction
"Aku satu-satunya yang bisa melihatmu seperti ini. Kamu milikku," bisiknya di telingaku, membuat tubuhku bergetar panas dan terasa mengalir ke inti tubuhku.
Dia menatap mataku dengan tajam.
"Kamu mengerti?" tanyanya, dan dari ekspresi wajahnya aku tahu dia serius.
Aku menelan ludah dan mengangguk pelan, "Iya."
Dia tersenyum, "Gadis pintar," lalu menepuk pantatku sebelum bangkit dari tubuhku.
...
Di dunia yang penuh dengan pengkhianatan dan kejutan tak terduga, hidup Renée Sinclair mengalami perubahan dramatis.

Chapter 1
Suara memecah kabut tidur yang menyelimuti pikiranku. Itu suara Gregory, dengan nada marah yang membuatku terjaga. Mataku terbuka lebar, jantungku berdebar kencang saat aku menyadari kehadirannya dan kemarahannya.
"Kamu pelacur pembohong!" Kata-kata itu meluncur di udara, dilemparkan kepadaku dengan penuh kebencian. Mata Gregory menyala-nyala, rona merah menunjukkan amarahnya. Namanya—Gregory William—membawa beban reputasi keluarganya yang terkenal.
Dengan suara serak, aku bertanya, "Ada apa ini?"
"Berani-beraninya kamu?! Aku percaya padamu Ren! Kamu benar-benar sampah!" Ledakannya mengusir sisa-sisa tidur, membuatku tiba-tiba dan sepenuhnya terjaga.
Saat itulah aku menyadari keadaanku yang setengah telanjang. Rasa takut mencekam saat aku menyadari hanya mengenakan bra dan celana dalam, selimut sudah melorot hingga ke pinggangku. Dengan cepat, aku menariknya untuk menutupi diriku.
Ruangan di sekitarku tidak familiar—sepertinya hotel—dan tuduhan penuh amarah Gregory menunjukkan sesuatu yang buruk telah terjadi.
Dengan tergagap, aku berhasil berkata, "A-Apa yang terjadi? Bagaimana aku bisa di sini?"
Tawanya seperti tamparan. "Kamu serius mau main korban?"
Kebingungan menguasai diriku. "Apa?! Tidak, aku tidak ingat—" Aku mencoba menjelaskan ketidakmampuanku mengingat, tapi dia memotong lagi.
"Tsk tsk tsk, berhenti berpura-pura Renée. Kamu sudah ketahuan."
Aku mengenali suara nyaring itu tanpa ragu—itu milik Sabrina, saudara tiriku yang jahat. Sampai dia berbicara, aku bahkan tidak menyadari ada orang lain di dalam ruangan.
Sebelum aku bisa menemukan suaraku, Sabrina berjalan ke meja samping tempat tidur dan mengambil selembar kertas. Dengan senyum jahat, dia membacanya dengan angkuh, "Malam tadi luar biasa. Aku harap kita bisa bertemu lagi."
Tunggu, apa?
"Bagaimana bisa kamu lakukan ini padaku? Aku pikir kamu peduli padaku," kata Gregory hampir bersamaan. Suaranya mereda, tapi rasa jijik terpampang di wajahnya.
"Ini tidak seperti yang kamu pikirkan," aku membela diri, menggosok pelipis dalam usaha untuk mengingat kenangan samar dari malam tadi.
Detailnya kabur. Aku ingat mengikuti Sabrina ke pesta di klub—dia memaksa, dan akhirnya aku menyerah. Tapi aku tidak ingat minum berlebihan. Apakah mungkin aku dibius? Apakah ini jebakan? Jika ada yang tahu kebenarannya, itu pasti Sabrina.
"Sabrina, apa yang terjadi—" Aku mulai bertanya padanya, tapi Gregory memotong dengan tajam.
"Aku, Gregory William, menolakmu, Renée Sinclair, sebagai pasangan hidupku." Kebencian dalam nadanya tak bisa disangkal.
Teriakan keluar dari mulutku saat rasa sakit membelah dadaku; Hera, serigala dalam diriku, merasakan rasa sakit yang sama. Koneksi kami hancur di depan mataku.
"Mengapa?" Kata itu hampir tak terdengar saat keluar dari bibirku.
"Karena kamu tidak lebih dari pelacur murah dan penipu. Tidak masuk akal kenapa dewi bulan memasangkan kita. Kamu sama sekali bukan tipeku," katanya, dan air mata mengalir di wajahku. Kata-katanya seperti racun.
"Kamu bahkan tidak memberiku kesempatan untuk menjelaskan. Jangan lakukan ini, Greg," aku memohon, pandanganku yang berair memohon pengertian.
"Tidak ada yang perlu dijelaskan. Buktinya ada di sini. Kamu menjijikkan," katanya, kebenciannya terasa jelas dalam suaranya. Lalu dia pergi.
Hera, yang awalnya terdiam karena terkejut, akhirnya berbicara. "Biarkan dia pergi," dia mendesak.
Aku menghela napas. "Kalau kamu benar-benar berpikir begitu, maka kamu tidak pantas untukku, Gregory."
Kata-kata terakhirnya sangat menyakitkan. "Selamat tinggal." Lalu dia pergi.
Sabrina masih dengan senyum kemenangan, aku menghadapinya. "Apa yang terjadi tadi malam?"
Jawabannya cepat dengan cemoohan, "Kamu tidur dengan pria lain."
Amarahku naik. "Kamu tahu persis maksudku."
Dia memutar matanya dengan sikap meremehkan. "Aku benar-benar tidak tahu. Tapi sekarang semua orang bisa melihat betapa busuknya 'suci' Renée."
Tiba-tiba semuanya masuk akal. Dia yang mengatur seluruh sandiwara ini. Hanya dia yang tahu di mana menemukan saya dalam situasi yang begitu terpuruk. Kebenciannya telah mencapai titik terendah baru.
Menghadapinya langsung, saya menatap matanya. "Ini semua ulahmu, kan?"
Sesaat, ketakutan melintas di wajahnya sebelum dia menguasai diri. "Kamu delusional, adik. Kamu butuh bantuan." Namun matanya mengungkapkan segalanya—dia tahu persis apa yang telah terjadi.
Saat dia berbalik untuk pergi, tas di tangan, langkahnya penuh arogansi, dan rambut pirangnya bergoyang, saya tidak bisa menahan diri untuk berpikir tentang stereotip. Tapi tidak semua pirang bermasalah—sepupu kami, Freya, adalah buktinya.
Tertinggal dalam kesendirian, keheningan Hera terasa begitu nyata, tapi saya merasakan kehadirannya. Setelah duduk diam selama beberapa menit, saya bangkit dengan tekad. Sudah saatnya melanjutkan; Gregory tidak layak untuk kesedihan saya.
Persetan dengan Gregory. Dia tidak pantas untukku. Saya mengeringkan air mata, berpakaian, dan sebelum pergi, pandangan saya tertuju pada catatan yang ditunjukkan Sabrina. Meraihnya, saya mengenali tulisan tangannya yang khas. Itu semua bukti yang saya butuhkan—tulisannya sendiri yang mengutuknya. Betapa cerobohnya dia.
Saya menghela napas dalam-dalam, merasakan kelegaan sesaat saat menyadari bahwa tidak ada yang harus berhubungan seks dengan saya—jika ada, itu secara teknis akan menjadi pemerkosaan.
Mengumpulkan barang-barang saya, saya meninggalkan ruangan dengan rasa ingin tahu yang tersisa. Di meja resepsionis, saya bertanya siapa yang menemani saya tadi malam. Mereka mengonfirmasi bahwa saya datang dengan seorang pria tetapi menunjukkan bahwa itu adalah nama saya di catatan, menyiratkan bahwa saya yang menandatangani kami berdua. Seorang pria?
Keputusasaan merayap kembali, mencekik napas saya. Apakah sesuatu yang mengerikan benar-benar terjadi? Pikiran saya berputar pada kemungkinan telah dilanggar. Mengambil napas dalam-dalam untuk menenangkan diri, saya berjalan keluar ke tempat parkir dan menemukan mobil saya—satu-satunya hal yang saya warisi dari ibu saya. Rasa sakit menggerogoti hati saya saat kenangan tentangnya muncul.
Duduk di kursi pengemudi, saya tersadar—pasti ada orang lain yang mengemudikan kami ke sini karena saya tidak sadar. Saat itulah saya menyadari kamera dasbor hilang. Mereka telah menghapusnya. Ironinya begitu pahit, dan saya tertawa pahit sebelum mengemudi pulang.
Mendekati estate Sinclair, saya menarik napas dalam-dalam. Itu hanya salah satu dari banyak bangunan di properti ayah saya, tetapi yang paling megah. Meskipun kemegahannya, saya tidak pernah menyukainya. Segalanya—dari patung beton di luar hingga interior yang mewah, langit-langit yang menjulang, dan perabotan yang mewah—terasa begitu dingin, begitu kosong... atau mungkin kekosongan itu milik saya sendiri.
Saat saya memasuki mansion dengan niat langsung menuju kamar saya, langkah saya terhenti di tengah tangga pertama oleh suara nyaring yang sangat familiar. Jika suara Sabrina merengek, suara Olga—ibu tiri saya—berada di level lain, menggores saraf saya. Dengan meringis dalam hati, saya berbalik untuk menghadapi panggilannya.
Ruang tamu penuh dengan seluruh keluarga, tersusun seperti dewan penghakiman. Ayah saya, ibu tiri, dan saudara tiri menatap saya turun dari tangga dengan tatapan tajam. Jelas, Sabrina telah memberi tahu mereka.
Sebelum saya bisa duduk, suara ayah saya memotong keheningan. "Kamu bodoh, bodoh sekali. Kamu tidak pernah gagal mengecewakan," katanya, kata-katanya penuh dengan penghinaan.
Sikapnya tidak mengejutkan saya; ini telah menjadi caranya sejak ibu saya meninggal—dingin, jauh, selalu kecewa, dan tampaknya merasa jijik dengan keberadaan saya.
Olga menyela dengan kepura-puraan perhatian, "Sayang, santai saja padanya, dia sudah menjalani malam yang panjang."
Sindiran terselubungnya tidak luput dari saya. Saya menarik napas dalam-dalam, bersiap untuk serangan kritik dan penghinaan yang saya tahu akan datang dari mereka.

After One Night with the Alpha
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.
