LOGINLiliana Ross' life was never meant to turn out like this. By twenty-one, she should have celebrated her birthday with her best friend. By twenty-one, she should have been mated to her fiancé. By twenty-one, she should have been the Luna of the Emerald Pack. But by twenty-one, she is none of these things. Instead, by twenty-one, Liliana Ross becomes a slave…only to be rescued by the Alpha King, who declares her to be his Luna Queen. Believing it to be true love, she follows him, unaware of his immense deception. Liliana is forced to accept three mates, all of whom harbors hatred towards the others. Plunged into a life of secrets and lies, she begins to question everything she thought she knew. Only one thing is certain; she must help mend the frail brotherhood of her three mates, or risk losing everything she holds dear. ****** "Please," I beg. "I can't.” Landon strokes his long fingers through my hair, his touch igniting a flame of desire within me. Invisible flames dance on my skin and my thighs throb with need. He leans in and inhales my hair slowly before lifting his head to ask Kaden whose large hands are on my waist, keeping me in my kneeling position. "What say you, brother? Shall we mark her tonight?” A growl erupts from Evander who watches us silently from the side. He strides over, grabs my chin and forces my head up. "Yes, we will make her ours tonight.”
View More"Ugh!" Suara lenguhan panjang terdengar memenuhi ruang kamar saat Andi menyelesaikan permainannya.
"Enak," ucap Andi, merasakan nikmat yang tiada tara. Namun berbeda dengan Febby yang tidak merasakan klimaks sama sekali. Wajahnya menyiratkan kekecewaan mendalam. "Sudah keluar Mas? Kok cepet banget, ngga sampai satu menit. Perasaan baru masuk." Febby mengeluh sambil menghela napas panjang. Sudah sering dia mengatakan kalau dia tidak pernah puas dengan permainan suaminya. Dia juga tidak pernah merasa ada yang keluar dari bagian inti tubuh, yang menandakan dia belum mencapai puncak. Namun Andi seolah masa bodo. Yang penting nafsunya tersalurkan. "Aku lelah. Tadi itu aku udah berusaha untuk lama, tapi malah keluarnya cepet." Selesai melampiaskan hasrat, Andi berbaring di sebelah istrinya tanpa merasa bersalah sama sekali. Raut kesal dan kecewa terlihat jelas di wajah Febby, yang selama dua tahun menjadi istri sah Andi. Selama dua tahun itu dia tidak pernah merasakan klimaks saat berhubungan dengan suaminya. Kenikmatan hanya dirasakan oleh Andi, bahkan Andi tidak pernah membuatnya nyaman di atas ranjang. Andi juga kurang perhatian, hanya memikirkan diri sendiri. Pernikahan dua tahun terasa semakin hambar bagi Febby. Namun tidak ada yang bisa dilakukan. Toh Febby yang memilih laki-laki itu menjadi suaminya dan mereka sedang menjalani program kehamilan. Ya, Andi dan Febby sudah didesak oleh kedua orang tua mereka agar secepatnya memiliki anak, tetapi sampai detik ini tidak ada tanda-tanda Febby mengandung buah cinta mereka. "Kamu mau langsung tidur Mas?" tanya Febby pada suaminya yang baru saja pulang kerja dan meminta dilayani. Selesai dilayani, Andi berbaring di ranjang sambil memejamkan mata. "Iya, aku ngantuk. Kamu masak makan malam aja dulu. Kalau udah mateng semua, bangunin." Febby menghela napas panjang, turun dari ranjang lalu memakai pakaian satu per satu. Matanya melirik Andi yang terlelap, padahal baru saja kepala suaminya itu bersandar ke atas bantal. Tidak ada ucapan terima kasih. I love you. Atau gombalan yang keluar dari mulut Andi, membuat Febby merasa tidak dicintai sama sekali. "Mandi dulu dong Mas, masa langsung tidur." "Hem," sahut Andi datar. Selesai memakai pakaian, Febby melangkah mendekati pintu lalu keluar. Sedangkan Andi sudah jauh mengarungi mimpi. Langkah kaki Febby dihentikan oleh ibu mertua di ambang pintu dapur. Wanita paruh baya itu menatap wajah menantunya yang lesu sambil mengerutkan kening. "Kamu kenapa, Feb?" "Ngga apa-apa Bu," jawab Febby, pelan, melanjutkan langkah kakinya mendekati kulkas. Ratih mengikuti Febby ke dapur, membantu menantunya menyiapkan bahan makanan. Sejak kemarin wanita paruh baya itu menginap di rumah kontrakan dua kamar tersebut. Satu bangunan rumah yang baru dua bulan ditempati itu berada di komplek perumahan Melati. Rencananya Andi ingin mencicil rumah yang mereka tempati sekarang agar tidak bayar kontrakan lagi. "Suami kamu mana, Feb?" tanya Ratih. "Mas Andi tidur Bu. Katanya capek," jawab Febby seraya mengeluarkan bahan makanan dari dalam kulkas dua pintu. Beberapa jenis sayur dan ikan segar dia letakan di dekat wastafel untuk dibersihkan. "Kamu udah konsultasi lagi ke Dokter Kandungan?" tanya Ratih pada menantunya. "Udah Bu, katanya aku sama Mas Andi harus sering minum vitamin biar subur. Aku udah dikasih resep vitamin itu. Semoga aja ada kabar baik bulan depan." "Amin," ucap Ratih. "Selain berkonsultasi ke Dokter, kamu juga harus pergi ke Dukun beranak. Atau ke mana kek. Biar kamu cepet isi." "Udah Bu, tapi emang dasarnya belum dikasih aja. Kalau memang belum rejekinya, ya mau gimana lagi." "Kalau gitu, coba kamu konsultasi ke Dokter lain. Misalnya ke Dokter Dirga. Dia sepupunya Andi. Siapa tahu dia bisa bantu kalian. Kasih saran apa untuk membantu mempercepat kehamilan kamu." Febby terdiam. Sebenarnya sudah beberapa kali mereka gonta-ganti dokter, tetapi tidak ada perubahan sama sekali. Beberapa dokter juga menyarankan untuk memeriksa kesuburan satu sama lain, namun Andi selalu menolak dan mengatakan kalau dia sehat. Sementara, selama berhubungan Febby tidak pernah merasa puas. Bahkan durasinya hanya sebentar, tidak sampai tiga menit langsung crott. "Lebih baik kamu coba dulu saran Ibu," ucap Ratih yang selalu mendesak Febby agar cepat hamil. Andai kehamilan bisa dibeli, Febby akan membelinya agar bisa secepatnya memberi gelar ayah pada sang suami. "Kalau kamu ragu, mending komunikasikan dulu sama Andi. Biar kalian lebih yakin. Ibu sih percaya sama Dokter Dirga. Banyak kok pasien dia yang berhasil hamil." Febby menghela napas panjang. "Nanti aku coba bicarakan sama Mas Andi. Kalau dia mau, besok aku dan Mas Andi ke tempat praktek Dokter itu." Ratih tersenyum, "Nanti alamatnya Ibu kasih ke kamu. Kamu dan Andi langsung ke sana aja. Nanti Ibu bikin janji biar kalian ngga antri." "Iya Bu, makasih." Saat sedang berbincang, Andi datang mendekati kedua wanita di dapur. Pria yang memiliki tinggi 170cm itu duduk di depan meja makan dengan lesu. "Bikinin aku kopi," katanya memerintah Febby. "Tunggu sebentar Mas. Aku lagi masak." "Ck! Aku maunya sekarang!" Andi mengeraskan suaranya, membuat Febby terhenyak kaget. Ratih dan Febby saling tatap, Ibu mertuanya itu memutar bola mata meminta Febby menurut saja. "Biasa aja dong Mas, jangan marah begitu," sahut Febby kesal. "Kamu ini. Suami minta kopi malah nanti-nanti. Utamakan melayani suami dulu, baru yang lain! Gimana sih!" cecar Andi memarahi Febby. Ratih hanya diam, tak membela menantunya ataupun menasehati Andi. Baginya pemandangan seperti itu sudah biasa terjadi. Dia pun mengalami di rumah. "Sabar Mas." Terpaksa Febby menunda masakannya dan membuat kopi untuk Andi yang sudah tidak sabar. Dengan perasaan kesal, Febby meletakkan kopi hitam pesanan suaminya ke atas meja. "Mau apa lagi Mas? Sekalian aja, aku mau masak." Andi melotot, menatap istrinya seperti ingin menelan hidup-hidup. "Kamu ngga iklhas?" "Bukan ngga ikhlas Mas, aku kan cuma nanya sama kamu. Kamu mau apa lagi? Biar aku ambilin sekalian." "Ngga ada, aku cuma mau kopi." "Ya udah," sahut Febby pelan. Ia kembali melanjutkan memasak makan malam, meski perasaannya kesal. Sikap dingin Andi sudah berlangsung lebih dari satu tahun. Tanpa alasan yang jelas, Andi tiba-tiba jadi kasar dan bahasanya tidak pernah lembut seperti dulu. Febby curiga suaminya memiliki wanita idaman lain di luar sana, namun ia tidak pernah mendapatkan bukti apapun perselingkuhan itu. Suasana hening. Di ruang dapur yang tidak luas itu hanya terdengar suara dentingan sendok dan panci. "Mumpung ada Andi di sini. Ibu ngomong aja langsung sama kalian berdua." Ratih membuka pembicaraan di ruang sunyi itu. Andi mendongak, "Ngomong apa Bu?" tanyanya datar. "Ibu mau ngasih saran, gimana kalau kamu dan Febby konsultasi aja ke Dokter Dirga. Sepupu kamu itu. Dia kan Dokter kandungan terkenal. Kebetulan dia buka praktek di Jakarta. Kalian bisa ke sana. Kalau kamu mau, nanti Ibu bikin janji sama dia. Biar kalian ngga antri panjang. Maklum, pasien dia kan banyak." Andi manggut-manggut. "Oke, aku setuju. Aku dan Febby akan ke sana." Ratih tersenyum. Ia tatap menantunya yang tengah sibuk mengaduk sayur di dalam panci. "Kamu dengar kan. Suami kamu setuju. Kamu juga setuju kan?" tanya Ratih pada menantunya itu. "Iya Bu, aku setuju," jawab Febby.Liliana’s POV“Alpha, your mate is here to see you.”My heart skips a beat at Jonathan’s words and I quickly stand from my desk to smooth my dress.“How do I look?” I ask.Jonathan makes a face. “Do you really want to know?”I should never have asked him.

He reaches me and places a gentle kiss on my forehead and around us, the council members share chuckles, breaking the seriousness of the meeting.“Alpha Liliana, would you like us to step out of the meeting room and give you some space?” one of the elders asks, covering the smile on his lips with the palm of his hand.I look at him and feel my cheeks flush red. “No, no, we are fine.

Kaden’s POVI open my eyes to a meadow, a serene landscape painted with the soft hues of wildflowers. The gentle breeze whispers through the grass, and the air carries the sweet fragrance of nature. It is a tranquil haven, the view of it contrasting the chaotic world I left behind.But what is this place? Heaven? Or hell?I push myself up and rise from the flowers to find the warmth of the sunlight casting a golden glow over the meadow. Butterflies dance in the air and a distant murmur of a babbling brook complements the soothing ambiance.Okay….this definitely cannot be hell.My hand touches the grass beneath men they are soft and soothing to touch and I take in a deep breath. It is a moment of calm, a pause in the relentless storm that has marked my recent journey.My eyes roam the place meadow and settle on a woman by the stream.
