Chapter 1
“Aku, Alpha Kaden dari Kawanan Bulan Regional menolakmu, Lucia, sebagai pasangan dan Luna dari kawanan ini.”
Aku menyaksikan pacarku selama tiga tahun menolak aku setelah mengetahui bahwa aku adalah pasangannya.
“Baiklah, aku terima penolakanmu. Dan sialan kau, sialan kalian semua, aku tidak butuh kalian pecundang” teriakku kepada seluruh kawanan yang hanya menonton aku ditolak.
Aku melihat matanya berkedip sedikit. Dia tidak menyangka aku akan menerima penolakannya dengan mudah. Bagus.
Aku pasti tidak akan memberinya kepuasan melihatku memohon.
“Lucia,” kata “sahabat” ku dengan suara ngeri. Dia juga mengharapkan aku memohon.
“Apa!” aku membentaknya kembali. “Kalian semua mati bagiku.”
Aku bisa merasakan air mata jatuh dan rasa sakit dari penolakan mulai menguasai diriku, jadi aku bergegas keluar dari sana. Tidak mungkin aku akan memberi mereka kepuasan itu.
Aku berlari secepat kakiku bisa membawaku, membanting pintu tertutup, tepat pada waktunya sebelum aku jatuh karena rasa sakit.
**
Tiga minggu sebelumnya.
Aku selalu tinggal di rumah kawanan. Aku tidak tahu orang tuaku tapi itu tidak menggangguku. Aku diberitahu bahwa mereka meninggalkanku dan kawanan menemukanku, dibiarkan sendirian untuk mati.
Jika mereka meninggalkanku, tidak ada gunanya mencari mereka.
Aku diberi rumah di sini dan diperlakukan seperti yang lain. Hidupku baik-baik saja.
Aku bersiap-siap untuk pergi ke sekolah ketika aku menerima pesan.
"Kamu sudah siap?" Itu Kaden, pacarku selama tiga tahun. Dia juga akan menjadi alpha kawanan dalam tiga minggu.
“Ya,” aku membalas pesan.
Ada langkah tambahan pada langkahku saat aku turun tangga.
“Hai” aku tersenyum menyapanya.
Dia tersenyum padaku dan aku merasakan getaran yang familiar di perutku.
“Hai sayang” dia turun, membukakan pintu untukku. Dia berdiri, menjulang di atasku yang tingginya 5’6 sementara dia 6’4. “Tidur nyenyak?” katanya, menatapku dengan mata biru tajam itu.
“Seperti bayi” aku tersenyum balik.
Kami pergi ke sekolah.
Aku berjalan melalui dinding sekolah yang sudah familiar, menggandeng lengan Kaden.
“Sayang” aku memanggilnya, saat kami berjalan ke kelas kami hari itu.
“Ya?” dia terdengar tidak peduli tapi aku sudah terbiasa sekarang. Dia seperti itu saat tidak nyaman di sekitar orang.
“Apa yang kamu pikirkan untuk kita lakukan setelah pulang sekolah?”
“Aku akan sibuk saat itu, aku akan menemui kamu setelah selesai,” katanya tanpa memberikan perhatian sedikit pun saat menjawab.
“Aku tahu ulang tahunmu yang ke-18 akan datang, tapi itu tidak berarti kamu harus mengesampingkanku.”
“Ini musim kawin Laura, kamu tahu bagaimana itu. Selain itu, kamu adalah pasanganku. Kita akan punya cukup waktu.” Dia meyakinkanku sebelum dia pergi ke kelasnya.
Aku tersenyum mendengar itu. Para alpha memiliki kemampuan khusus untuk mengetahui siapa pasangan mereka, beberapa minggu kadang-kadang bulan sebelum mereka berusia delapan belas tahun.
Sepertinya sudah diperkirakan bahwa kami akan menjadi pasangan karena kami sudah memiliki ikatan yang kuat sejak awal.
Aku sangat senang ketika mengetahuinya. Aku mencintainya, dan akhirnya, aku akan menghabiskan sisa hidupku bersamanya.
Pelajaran berlalu dengan cepat dan aku buru-buru keluar untuk menemui Kaden di tempat biasa kami, hanya untuk diberitahu oleh betanya bahwa dia sudah pergi.
Aku melihat tatapan iba yang diberikan Eric padaku, tapi aku mengabaikannya.
Pasti ada sesuatu yang mendesak, ini tidak biasa baginya untuk melakukan hal seperti itu, jadi jelas, pasti ada keadaan darurat atau semacamnya.
Akhirnya aku berjalan pulang, karena Eric, betanya, harus tetap tinggal untuk latihan sepak bola dan Samantha, sahabatku, harus tinggal untuk hukuman.
"Hei, kamu tiba-tiba pergi begitu saja," aku mengiriminya pesan.
Tidak ada balasan. Aku mencoba untuk tidak marah, tapi setiap langkah yang kuambil di cuaca dingin yang tidak kenal ampun membuatku ingin merobek hatinya.
"Kamu seharusnya setidaknya memberitahuku," aku mengirim pesan lagi. Dia membacanya kali ini, tapi tidak membalas.
Aku sampai di rumah pack sepuluh menit kemudian hampir dengan jari-jari yang beku untuk menemukan Kaden berpakaian hangat sedang melatih para prajurit pack. Atau setidaknya itulah yang terlihat dari tempatku berdiri.
"Kamu brengsek!" kataku sambil berjalan mendekatinya dan menarik perhatian semua orang yang ada di luar.
"Kamu meninggalkanku, tahu, sebuah pesan singkat akan sangat membantu," kataku dengan wajah marah di depannya.
"Kita bicarakan nanti," katanya dengan suara rendah yang kesal.
"Tidak, aku ingin membicarakannya sekarang," aku marah, lebih dari marah.
Dia bergerak mendekatiku dan kemudian membungkuk sedikit agar bisa sejajar denganku. "Kamu mempermalukan dirimu sendiri sekarang, jadi, kenapa kamu tidak menahannya dan tunggu sampai aku punya waktu untukmu."
Aku menatapnya dan kemudian melihat kembali orang-orang yang sekarang fokus pada kami, aku merasa wajahku memerah karena situasi ini dan kemudian berjalan ke kamarku.
Aku mondar-mandir di kamar. Menunggu malam tiba.
Segera aku lelah dan tertidur, hanya terbangun ketika Kaden masuk ke kamarku.
"Kaden?" aku mengerang dari tidurku. Tubuhku sakit semua karena tidur di lantai.
"Kamu masih bangun?" dia berjalan ke arahku dan menyibakkan rambutku ke samping.
"Sedikit,"
"Bagus," dia menarikku ke posisi duduk. "Kita perlu bicara."
Aku mengangguk, menghilangkan sisa kantuk dari mataku.
"Tentu, ada apa?" Dia terlihat seperti baru saja mandi.
Rambutnya berantakan, tapi tetap terlihat bagus, seperti aku bisa merapikannya dengan tanganku.
Cahaya lembut bulan memantulkan betapa kekar otot-ototnya.
"Aku pikir kita harus memberi diri kita ruang, untuk sementara."
Hatiku jatuh ke dasar perutku.

My Marked Luna
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
