Lin Xiao kemudian tersedak. Paru-parunya dipaksa menghirup udara yang begitu lembap dan kaya akan oksigen hingga kepalanya pening. Ia membuka mata dan segera disambut oleh pemandangan yang mustahil.
Tidak ada plafon minimalis atau lampu gantung mahal. Di atasnya, kanopi pohon raksasa setinggi puluhan meter menutupi langit, menyaring cahaya matahari menjadi berkas-berkas hijau yang redup.
Ia mencoba duduk, dan saat itulah ia menyadari kondisi tubuhnya. Tangannya yang biasanya memegang penggaris baja dan pena sketsa kini tampak lebih mungil dan sangat rapuh.
Kulitnya seputih porselen, bersih namun kini ternoda oleh lumpur hitam yang pekat. Ia hanya mengenakan selembar kain compang-camping yang nyaris tidak menutupi dadanya.
Lin Xiao ingat betul momen terakhirnya. Ia sedang berada di studio desainnya, menatap layar monitor yang menampilkan maket interior apartemen mewah di Beijing.
Kopi ketiga hari itu sudah dingin. Jantungnya tiba-tiba berdegup tidak keruan, seperti mesin yang dipaksa bekerja melampaui batas sebelum akhirnya rasa sakit tajam menghujam dadanya. Pandangannya menggelap di atas tumpukan cetak biru.
Dia, sang desainer interior perfeksionis yang tidak pernah membiarkan ada meleset satu milimeter pun dalam pekerjaannya, baru saja mati karena ambisinya sendiri.
Namun sekarang, ia tidak merasa mati.
Sret. Sret.
Suara gesekan dedaunan semak belukar membuat bulu kuduknya berdiri.
“Siapa di sana?” Lin Xiao memundurkan tubuhnya hingga punggungnya menabrak akar pohon yang mencuat dari tanah.
Bukannya jawaban, sebuah geraman rendah yang menggetarkan tanah terdengar. Dari balik bayang-bayang pohon purba, sesosok makhluk muncul.
Seekor serigala perak raksasa, ukurannya sebesar mobil SUV, dengan bulu yang berkilau tajam seperti bilah pedang di bawah cahaya hutan. Matanya yang berwarna emas dingin mengunci pergerakan Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao membeku. Sebagai desainer, ia selalu bangga dengan kontrol dirinya, tapi di hadapan predator ini, logikanya runtuh. “Jangan... jangan mendekat,” bisiknya, meski ia tahu itu sia-sia.
Serigala itu melangkah maju. Tiap langkahnya tidak bersuara, menunjukkan dominasi yang mutlak. Jarak mereka kini hanya terpaut dua meter. Lin Xiao bisa mencium bau tanah, darah samar, dan aroma maskulin yang tajam dari napas sang predator.
[Peringatan: Detak jantung melampaui batas aman. Calon pasangan sedang melakukan penilaian,] suara mekanis itu kembali muncul.
“Diam! Apa pun kau, tolong diam!” jerit Lin Xiao dalam hati, tangannya mencengkeram tanah hingga kuku-kukunya kotor.
Serigala itu berhenti. Kepalanya miring, menatap Lin Xiao dengan tatapan yang anehnya terlihat... haus. Bukan hanya haus akan daging, tapi sesuatu yang lebih primitif.
Makhluk itu mendekat, moncongnya yang besar kini hanya beberapa inci dari wajah Lin Xiao. Hawa panas dari hidungnya menerpa kulit leher Lin Xiao yang terbuka.
“Kau mau memakanku?” tanya Lin Xiao dengan suara bergetar. Air mata ketakutan menggenang di sudut matanya. “Lakukan dengan cepat jika iya.”
Serigala itu mengeluarkan suara mendengus, seolah mengejek kepasrahan Lin Xiao. Tiba-tiba, tubuh raksasa itu mulai berkedut. Tulang-tulangnya berderak, otot-ototnya bergeser dan menyusut dalam proses yang mengerikan sekaligus mengagumkan.
Hanya dalam hitungan detik, serigala itu menghilang. Sebagai gantinya, seorang pria berdiri di hadapan Lin Xiao.
Pria itu bertelanjang dada, dengan bahu lebar dan otot-otot perut yang keras seperti pahatan batu. Rambut peraknya panjang berantakan, dan di matanya masih tersisa kilatan emas binatang buas. Atmosfer di sekitar mereka berubah seketika; dari ketegangan maut menjadi ketegangan seksual yang menyesakkan udara.
Lin Xiao menelan ludah, matanya tak sengaja memindai proporsi tubuh pria itu—garis ototnya, kekuatannya. Sebagai desainer, ia menghargai estetika, tapi ini terlalu berlebihan.
Pria itu berlutut di depan Lin Xiao, lalu menjepit tubuh kecil wanita itu di antara kedua lengannya yang kokoh. Ia menunduk, mengubur wajahnya di ceruk leher Lin Xiao, dan menghirup aroma kulitnya dengan dalam.
“Argh...” Lin Xiao merintih kecil saat merasakan ujung hidung pria itu yang dingin menyentuh kulitnya.
“Bau yang aneh,” suara pria itu berat dan serak, seperti gesekan logam. “Sangat manis dan sangat lemah.”
Lin Xiao mencoba mendorong dada pria itu, tapi tangannya justru terasa seperti menyentuh dinding beton yang panas. “Lepaskan aku. Siapa kau?”
Pria itu menarik kepalanya, menatap langsung ke mata Lin Xiao. Tangan besarnya yang kasar mencengkeram rahang Lin Xiao, memaksanya untuk terus menatap.
“Namaku Cang Yan. Dan aku tidak mencium bau tanda klan mana pun pada kulitmu,” gumamnya lalu ibu jarinya mengusap bibir bawah Lin Xiao yang bergetar, sebuah gerakan yang sangat posesif sekaligus mengancam.
“Apa artinya itu?” Lin Xiao bertanya, napasnya memburu.
Cang Yan menyeringai, memperlihatkan taringnya yang tajam. Tatapannya turun ke tubuh Lin Xiao yang hampir tidak tertutup kain, lalu kembali ke matanya dengan intensitas yang membuat Lin Xiao merasa telanjang sepenuhnya.
“Artinya, tidak ada pejantan yang melindungimu. Di hutan ini, betina tanpa tanda klan hanya punya dua pilihan nasib,” ucap Cang Yan lalu mendekatkan bibirnya ke telinga Lin Xiao, hingga embusan napasnya membuat Lin Xiao merinding hebat.
“Jadi, beritahu aku, Orang Asing. Kau ingin menjadi milikku untuk kulindungi, atau tetap menjadi mangsaku untuk kukoyak?”
Alex pulled out of Brooklyn as he dressed up. "Wait, what's with the rush, is everything okay? Brooklyn asks, seeing how he was restless and also in a hurry." Totally fine, maybe you can go home. We will do this on another day because I'm currently busy right now.

Brooklyn and Isabella pay for the things they bought as they made their way out. " Would you mind me to a birthday party tomorrow?Brooklyn asks as she chuckles. " Birthday party. "How can I even trust you and why are you even trying to be nice? Is this your way of getting me?Isabella asks as she sighed softly, "listen Isabella '' I aren't trying to be nice. I've changed a lot these days and finding out that you're a good girl, I decided to make friends with you."And I hope you can consider me as your friend. Brooklyn Utter with a sad countenance as she sighed. "Maybe she's actually right. She could have changed for sure because with the way she was acting yesterday actually made her believe that."Okay.

"SO, this was actually your plan? " To come and look for information?" Who Sent you? He Utter as she kept muttering. " If you don't speak out right now, I will kill you. "Now tell me who sent you here!Kennedy Rasped in pressing her neck as she groaned in pain. "It was your wife."Mrs cora. She Utter as his eyes dilated in shock."
