The night my parents died, I was found amongst the ashes of our home. My eyes glowed red, and my hair had been altered to a flaming hue to match. My pack ostracised me, deeming me responsible for the death of my beloved parents. For years, I have been treated like a slave and was underfed, bullied, and abused. The son of the Alpha, Jordan, and my cousin Ruth were the worst offenders. Yet, I endured as I planned my escape. When I turn nineteen, I am out of here. Or so I thought. One night, out of the blue, Jordan kisses me, everything changes, and I find myself falling in love with the one who was my tormentor. So naive, so foolish, just when I think I will have a happy ending, reality slaps me in the face. The same night I find myself in the arms of my mate, Jordan, I find myself rejected for a nightmare of a betrayal I had no hope in preventing. As punishment, I was shunned in the worst possible way and turned rouge. As the cold seeps in, I dream of a white wolf—my white wolf. He has always appeared in my mind when I most needed him, his presence always comforting me. Is this the end of my story? I have lost hope and the will to live.

Chapter 1

Rain

“Huft! Berapa lama lagi aku akan selesai bekerja?”

Stella menatap layar komputernya dengan mata yang lelah. Hari ini telah berlalu begitu panjang di kantor, tapi pikirannya masih terbelenggu pada rencana spesial yang telah ia susun dengan hati-hati selama beberapa minggu terakhir. Hari ini adalah ulang tahun Ramon, kekasihnya, dan Stella tak ingin melewatkan momen spesial tersebut.

“Stella, sudah pulang?” tanya rekan kerjanya, Maya, yang melintas di depan meja kerjanya.

“Ya, Maya. Aku akan pulang sebentar lagi. Ada sesuatu yang harus aku lakukan di rumah,” jawab Stella sambil tersenyum tipis.

Maya mengangguk mengerti dan melanjutkan langkahnya. Stella segera menutup laptopnya, mengambil tasnya, dan bergegas meninggalkan kantor.

Sesampainya di kontrakan, wanita yang memiliki rambut panjang itu segera menuju ruang makan. Ia melepas sepatu high heels dan memakai sandal rumah, kemudian meletakkan tas kerjanya di atas meja.

Matanya menjelajahi isi kulkas dan senyum manis terukir di wajahnya ketika melihat kue black forest berbentuk love yang ia buat dengan sepenuh hati masih terlihat cantik di dalam kulkas. Dengan hati-hati, Stella mengeluarkan kue tersebut.

“Syukurlah, kuenya masih terlihat bagus,” gumamnya sebelum kembali menutup kulkas.

Jarum pendek dari jam tangannya menunjukkan pukul 21:35 malam, dan Stella harus segera bergegas pergi menuju rumah kekasihnya, Ramon. Ia langsung mengambil kado yang sudah ia beli sebelumnya dan keluar dari kontrakannya.

Rumah Ramon memang tidak terlalu jauh dari kontrakan Stella. Meski begitu, Stella harus menempuh perjalanan selama 15 menit dengan berjalan kaki. Ia bergegas menuju rumah Ramon, tapi ditengah perjalanan, tiba-tiba hujan turun begitu deras.

“Aduh, kenapa hujan tiba-tiba turun? Aku harap kue ini tidak rusak!” gumamnya cemas.

Stella panik. Ia melindungi kue yang dibawanya dengan jaketnya agar tidak basah dan hancur. Wanita yang memiliki tubuh ramping itu berlari agar hujan tidak terlalu mengenai dirinya dan juga kue tersebut.

Visualisasi kue yang sudah disiapkannya dengan rapi dan sepenuh hati tidak akan lagi terwujud dengan baik jika hujan terus turun seperti ini. Stella merasa semakin cemas dan gelisah dalam melangkah.

Setelah beberapa menit berjalan kaki, akhirnya Stella sampai di depan rumah Ramon. Dia merasa sangat senang dan bersemangat. Stella membuka jaketnya, mengambil kue dan hadiah dari dalamnya dan mengeceknya beberapa kali untuk memastikan semuanya dalam keadaan yang baik.

“Semoga Ramon sangat senang dengan kejutannya. Aku ingin melihat senyumnya dan mendengar suaranya ketika ia melihat kue dan hadiah ini,” ungkap Stella begitu antusias.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

Stella sudah beberapa kali mengetuk pintu rumah kekasihnya, tetapi tidak ada respons. Akhirnya, karena merasa lelah, Wanita cantik itu memutar handle pintu tersebut dan ternyata pintunya tidak terkunci.

“Pintunya tidak dikunci, tapi kenapa Ramon tidak membukanya? Mungkin dia tidak mendengar,” gumam Stella sambil masuk ke dalam rumah tersebut.

Setelah itu, Stella melangkah dari satu ruangan ke ruangan lainnya sambil mencari Ramon. Namun, saat ia melihat pintu kamar yang terbuka, senyum manis yang mewarnai wajahnya berubah menjadi kesedihan. Ternyata Ramon sedang berciuman dengan seorang wanita.

Hati Stella hancur. Semua mimpi indah untuk memberikan kejutan ulang tahun pada Ramon kini hancur sudah. Dia merasa kecewa dan sakit hati.

Seketika, kue yang ada di tangan Stella terjatuh ke lantai begitu juga dengan kado yang ia bawa.

Ramon menghentikan pergulatannya ketika mendengar suara benda terjatuh, sepasang matanya membulat sempurna ketika melihat Stella yang ada di hadapannya.

“Stella ....”

Stella hanya merasa kecewa dan tertekan dengan semua yang terjadi. “Apa yang terjadi? Siapa dia?” Stella bertanya dengan suara yang gemetar.

“Aku adalah pacarnya Ramon. Kamu siapa?” Wanita itu dengan dingin bertanya sambil merasa kesal dengan kehadiran Stella.

Stella semakin merasa kecewa dan rasa kecewa itu makin menjadi-jadi ketika wanita itu menyebut dirinya sebagai pacar Ramon. Hatinya bergetar dan tidak tahu apa yang harus dilakukannya.

Stella tidak mampu mengucapkan kata-kata apa pun. Hatinya hancur dan ia tidak bisa menahan air matanya. Semua yang telah dibangun selama ini hanya omongan kosong belaka?

“Pacar?” Stella menatap Ramon dengan perasaan yang sangat kecewa. “Sejak kapan kamu memiliki pacar di belakangku?”

“Stella, aku bisa menjelaskan ...” Ramon memotong pembicaraan Stella.

“Apa yang harus kamu jelaskan? Silakan, aku akan mendengarkan.” Stella merasa tidak tahu bagaimana cara berbicara dengan Ramon.

Mira memegang lengan Ramon yang ingin memberikan penjelasan. “Kamu tidak perlu memberikan penjelasan apa pun.”

Mira menatap ke arah Stella. “Dengar baik-baik, aku dan Ramon telah menjalin hubungan selama satu tahun, dan Ramon tak perlu menjelaskan apa pun kepadamu.”

“Benarkah? Selama satu tahun itu, kau mengkhianati diriku, Ramon?”

“Siapa yang tahan bila memiliki pacar yang tidak pernah perhatian dan egois seperti kamu?!” sungut Mira dengan nada tinggi.

“Diam! Aku tidak bertanya padamu, aku bertanya pada Ramon!” sergah Stella yang kesal ketika Mira terus saja menyela percakapan tersebut.

“Stella, maafkan aku. Apa yang dikatakan Mira memang benar,” ujar Ramon dengan pandangan menunduk, tak mampu menatap Stella.

“Kalau begitu, kenapa kamu tidak bilang kepadaku? Setidaknya, kamu bilang bila kamu tidak suka dengan sikapku. Setidaknya, kamu bilang bila sudah tak mencintaiku lagi. Tapi, bukan begini caranya, Ramon!”

“Aku tahu diriku salah, aku mohon maaf.”

“Maaf, maaf, dan maaf? Apa memohon maaf adalah satu-satunya hal yang bisa kamu katakan? Apa kamu pikir kata maaf itu bisa menyembuhkan hatiku yang terluka? Kamu adalah lelaki brengsek yang pernah kutemui. Aku menyesal pernah menerima cintamu. Mulai sekarang, detik ini juga, kita putus!” ucap Stella lantang dengan nada yang meninggi.

“Stella!” Ramon berteriak ketika melihat Stella pergi begitu saja dari hadapannya.

Malam ini, Stella menyadari bahwa kejutan ulang tahun yang telah dipersiapkan dengan susah payah untuk Ramon telah berubah menjadi kejutan pahit yang tidak akan pernah ia lupakan. Cinta yang awalnya tumbuh subur antara mereka kini retak dan rapuh. Setelah hatinya terkoyak, akhirnya Stella memutuskan untuk mengakhiri hubungan mereka.

Stella merasa dunia sedang runtuh di hadapannya. Hatinya terluka setelah kekasihnya, Ramon, mengkhianatinya. Selama satu tahun mereka menjalin kasih, selama itu pula, Ramon mengkhianatinya.

Stella berjalan di tengah hujan rintik-rintik. Dia merasa begitu rapuh dan lemah di bawah guyuran hujan. Tubuhnya terasa basah, dan hawa dingin malam semakin memperparah situasinya. Namun, Stella tidak peduli. Dia membutuhkan waktu untuk merenung dan memikirkan apa yang terjadi padanya.

“Kenapa dia harus menyakitiku?” gumamnya dengan suara lirih sambil menangis. Stella tak bisa mengerti mengapa Ramon melakukannya, padahal dia hanya mencintainya dengan tulus. Dia mempertanyakan apakah Ramon benar-benar mencintainya atau hanya memanfaatkannya saja?

Stella terus berjalan tanpa arah. Tiba-tiba, dia tersandung batu dan jatuh di air yang bercampur lumpur. “Aduh!” teriaknya kesakitan ketika tubuhnya terjatuh ke aspal. Namun, dia tidak peduli. Dia hanya terus meratapi hatinya yang terluka dan tidak memperhatikan sekitarnya.

Tanpa peringatan, sebuah mobil muncul seketika di hadapannya dengan kecepatan yang tinggi, membuat dirinya terkejut dan berpikir mungkin inilah hari terakhirnya di dunia ini.

Beep, Beep!

Klakson dari mobil tersebut menggema dengan keras, decitan ban dan aspal terdengar berulang kali. Mobil itu hampir menabrak Stella, tetapi sopirnya berhasil menghindar pada saat yang tepat.

Srak!

“Ada apa ini? Kenapa kamu tiba-tiba ngerem mendadak?”

“Maaf, Tuan. Sepertinya kita menabrak orang.”

Helaan napas berat terdengar dari Tristan, ketika ia mendengar bila sopirnya menabrak seseorang.

Tanpa menunggu lama, sang sopir pun turun dari mobil dengan membawa sebuah payung, beberapa saat kemudian, ia kembali lagi ke mobil dengan perasaan cemas.

“Tuan, kita benar-benar menabrak seseorang.”

“Apa?”

This book is actually called „the pack of rain and pain”, loving the characters, just wish it didn’t change the title, so it was easier to find the author on socials to get more of her stories :) good read!

Rain
Rain Bonfires are lit in the garden in front of the packhouse of the Crescent Moon Werewolves Pack. Many of the pack members, especially teens or unmated adults, are gathered around them and are talking or dancing. There is always booze and food involved… and music. Let’s not forget about that, because what is a party without good music? Even if I am not invited to the party, I like to listen to the loud beat coming from the speakers. Probably that’s why I started hiding in the walnut tree to pain while the others are having a great time. Since I was eight, I always had a piece of paper and a pencil with me, and I drew while listening to what was happening around the bonfires. The sketch I have been working on for the last few days lies forgotten on my lap. The fireflies dancing in the air have all my attention as I slowly block the music and the voices around the garden. I quietly observe them from the branch I am perched on, my back leaning against the tree trunk. It is my favorite

If Jordan doesn’t kick the bucket of water I use for cleaning the floors, he will find other ways to antagonize me. He will probably call me names or, if he is in a very bad mood, even push me or make me trip. Safia whines. Being a lone wolf inside a pack is difficult. When it is a full moon, we usually run alone while the rest of the pack runs together. I prefer it, anyway, because I would probably look constantly over my shoulder if I had one of the pack members run next to me, wondering if I would get attacked. ‘One day, we will find the one meant for us. Our soulmate. We will never be alone then. When the full moon rises above the forest, we will run next to our soulmate,’ I say, trying to console Safia. Of the two of us, she is the one who suffers the most from the lack of friendship and companions. I am more than happy not to talk to anyone from the pack, for days in a row.Werewolves are not meant to be alone. That is why many rogues go mad after years of solitude. Some of th

An old alarm clock that I keep on the coffee table usually wakes me up around 5 AM. I am so used to getting up so early that sometimes I wake up before the alarm goes off. Today is one of those days. There are a few minutes left until it is 5 in the morning, and I lay awake on the mattress listening to the rain falling outside. It is funny how my name is also Rain. I don’t even know if it was raining when I was born or if my mother or father liked how it sounded and decided to name me that. It is kinda ironic; I’ve never liked the rain, not since I am the one that has to spend the entire day on my knees, cleaning the floors. Sure, there are mops, but the one I had broke months ago, and a new one is yet to be purchased. When the alarm lets me know it is time to get up, I reluctantly turn it off. For once, I want to stay longer in bed and read or draw. Soon I will be able to do that and much more. There are only three weeks left until my birthday, and I am counting down the days. I kic

Jordan takes a few more puffs of his cigarette, letting the ash fall by my feet, before turning on his heels and walking away, leaving a trail of smoke and mud behind him. Fucking asshole! After I clean the mess made by Jordan, I return to the windows. Elly and Andrea, Elly’s best friend, are sitting on a bench next to the rose bushes, talking. They might be the only females that I like from the pack. Probably feeling that I am watching her, Elly looks up, and when she sees me, she waves at me. Andrea does the same. I smile as I wave back. The attack of the Feral Rogues had left Elly pretty shaken up. From the discussions I heard between Dan and Victor, she still has nightmares about that night. There are days that she refuses to get out of bed, for fear of something happening to her. It makes me happy to see her outside. Dan and Victor, who are both Deltas—warriors—train nearby. Since that tragic night, Dan rarely lets Elly out of his sight. I wish I had a brother like him. Once

Caleb
I squat next to Conrad as we watch the Green River Pack territory. Lately, the feral rogues have been attacking packs around Romania. It started with a small pack, in the South-East, near the Black Sea, and slowly moved to the West. I usually don’t care about what feral rogues do, but they are too close to my territory, to my pack. As a rogue myself—a silver rogue, not a feral one—I have worked hard to secure some land in Baciu Forest and build a pack. Another pack lives within the forest, but my territory is warded, and they can’t enter. I would have liked to have my pack elsewhere, but as a rogue, I have no say in how territories are distributed. I am lucky I was allowed to the land the Elders have given me. Not without paying a large sum of money and granting them many favors—favors that I am still regretting and the rest of the werewolves don’t know about. But at least I am the Alpha of my pack, and I get to lead them without any interference from the Elders.“Any signs of them?”

Raven
RavenThe foul scent of the feral rogues reaches my nose. I am not sure if they ever heard of water or if they want to stink on purpose. Caleb and I have been rogues for many years, but we never smelled so awful.‘Because we were forced to take a bath twice a day,’ Caleb reminds me.I growl, not wanting to remember and step into the clearing. I try to spot Mircea’s wolf, but there are at least ten vampires and twenty rogues to kill. Mircea will have to wait.I let the darkness take over and jump on the first vampire I see. He tries to harm me with his long nails and fangs, but years of fighting them had taught me how to sever his head without receiving many wounds. My sharp canines sink into his neck while my claws dig into his chest. Another vampire attacks me from behind, his nails painfully cutting across my ribs. His nails are poisoned with wolfbane, and I already start to feel weaker. The darkness spreads even more, and I welcome it. I rip the head of the first vampire before I f

CalebI look at the female in front of me. Her black eyes scan my body, my scars. I hate being looked at like I am nothing more than a piece of meat.“Give me a moment,” I say, and I rush to retrieve my clothes from where I left them.‘Who do you think she is?’ ‘I don’t know,’ I reply to Raven’s question.Once I am dressed, I return to the clearing. The battle is over. From what I can see, two of my warrior didn’t make it. I will have to let their families and friends know as soon as I return to the pack.“Thank you for saving my life,” I tell her.A crossbow and a quiver with ashwood and silver-tip arrows are across her back. I glance at the rogues and vampires that attacked me—they all have arrows in their foreheads. I should get a crossbow as well.“Tatiana sent me. She said you might need my help,” the female says.I rub the back of my neck. “I didn’t count on the wolfbane.”“It is not only wolfbane; it is mixed with liquid silver.”I look at the vampires. “That explains the numb

Jordan
The entire Pack House sounds like a beehive, as the last preparations for my ‘big day’ are being finalized. I couldn’t care less for my birthday or about finding my mate, but my father needs me to step in as the Alpha of the pack. Ever since my mother got sick, he has taken on her role as the Luna of the pack, in addition to all of his Alpha duties. This has caused him to spend many sleepless nights working. I love my life as an unmated male, as I can hook up with whomever I want.Someone passes near my room, and the scent of caramelized apples wafts through the gap between the door and the floor—the scent that has been tempting me for months to take a bite from a certain female.Rain.My newest plaything.The previous night came to mind. If she has told me the truth, no male has ever touched her before. I was her first kiss. I bet I can take her virginity by the waterfall too.‘Can you stop being such a douche?’ Titan, my wolf, growls in my head. ’Just because you kissed Rain against

I don’t understand why Titan is so passionate about Rain. He never had a problem with me fooling around with females until now. And for me to treat Rain like she is the most special thing in the world for the next ten days is… ridiculous.I get out of my room and notice Rain cleaning the windows at the end of the hallway. Hadn’t she done that already yesterday? The light of the July sun makes her hair seem like it is on fire. The freckles covering her face are so damn sexy. She hums something under her breath. I wonder what she is thinking about. I tried to do a mind-link with her a few months ago, but because Safia is mute, it wasn’t possible.Except for Rain and me, no one else is in the hallway. I tiptoe until I am right behind her. She doesn’t seem to notice me, as she keeps humming a lullaby while cleaning the fingerprints left by some pups on the windows. A broom closet is to my left. I open the door, pull my right hand around Rain’s mouth and nose, and pull her inside. As soon

My lips still tingle from the kiss Jordan gave me earlier. I don’t understand why he is suddenly acting so nice to me. Until two days ago, he had treated me like I was a slave. ‘Rain, do this; Rain, do that. Rain, you don’t get to eat for two days for breathing.’ Then all of a sudden, he changed. Last night he not only stole my first kiss—which I so wanted to be with my mate—but he also brought me food.He probably only wants sex. But why me? There are plenty of females in the pack to choose from.Once I finish cleaning the windows, I drag my feet to the stairs. If I make Jordan wait any longer, he would probably punish me.The scent of lemons reaches me, and I rush all the way down to the first floor. Females are busy setting the last details to the backyard, where the party is to take place, and I try to make myself as small as possible, not wanting to be spotted.“Rain,” someone suddenly calls my name. “Can I have a word with you?”I could recognize that voice anywhere.
