I had just won the Hawthorne Scientific Laureate on the international stage when my father called me back home. "Bring the betrothal gifts to the Hayes family. That childhood engagement should finally be fulfilled." Afraid of getting stuck in traffic, I took my modified motorcycle, carried the national heritage porcelain obtained through generations of the Keane family's military merits, and headed toward their house. Just as I arrived at the community gate, a Porsche suddenly cut across the lane, nearly knocking me over. A heavily made-up woman, Zoey Mercer, stepped out of the car, raised one sharp high heel, and kicked the top box off my motorcycle. "You rode this junk motorcycle yet dared block my way? If you dent my car, your whole family won't be able to afford the compensation!" My heart sank. I quickly opened the case, only to see the entire box of celadon porcelain shattered. "So you’re just some delivery guy. Think this pile of trash is worth even one of my shoes? "You even know whose neighborhood this is? It belongs to Kingshore's Hayes family! My best friend’s family developed this place! Believe it or not, I can have you thrown out right now!" Right then, my fiancee, Lauren Hayes, called me. "Where are you? My friend just messaged me saying there’s a delivery guy causing trouble at the entrance."

Terlahir dengan istimewa tak membuat Alara Diba Afsana putus asa dan minder di tengah kalangan anak seusianya. Sejak kecil, Alara di titipkan di rumah sang Nenek karena Papa yang sibuk bekerja. Sedangkan Mama? Alara tidak mengetahuinya. Papa tidak pernah menceritakan sosok Mama pada Alara. Tak ada yang mau terlahir seperti Alara, ejekan, hinaan hingga gunjingan Alara terima dengan diam tanpa melawan. Hingga suatu sore, Alara tak sengaja bertemu perempuan berhijab bersama beberapa anak seusianya yang tengah bermain di taman. Alara hanya melihat tak berani mendekat. Bunda.

Ingin sekali Alara ikut bermain dan tertawa bersama, tapi apakah boleh? Apakah boleh Alara ikut merasakan kebahagiaan mereka ketika Alara sendiri terlahir dengan keistimewaan yang membuatnya dijauhi banyak orang? "Hai! Adek mau ikut bermain?" Tanya perempuan berhijab itu dengan nada yang lembut. "Bunda." Perempuan itu mengerutkan kening heran, lantas mengerti maksud kalimat "Bunda" dari Alara. "Iya, adek boleh kok panggil kakak Bunda. Sama seperti yang lain." Alara menatap perempuan berhijab yang tersenyum manis kepadanya dengan mata berkaca, "Boleh tidak Bunda jadi Bundanya Alara?" Perempuan itu merasa aneh dengan pertanyaan Alara, namun ia berusaha menanggapi pertanyaan Alara dengan senyuman, "Jadi adek namanya Alara, ya?" Alara mengangguk. "Iya, boleh kok Alara anggap Bunda jadi Bundanya Alara juga." Satu hal yang tidak perempuan berhijab itu sadari. Jika Alara menginginkan ia menjadi Bundanya, Bunda hanya untuk Alara. ***

Blurb. Vanessa was abused by her father and step mother her whole life, she was the dumping bag of the family. She was never even allowed to go to school, her family treated her like a slave. As if things could not get worse, her father gave her away in exchange to be burdened for the debt he owed. She was abused, used and threatened, she was ready to give up when she found out she was pregnant, not with just one child but two. And she could no longer give up. She had to fight for the two lives that were now growing inside her. So she ran away. She had nowhere to go but she thought if she explained to her family that she was pregnant, they could take her back in. But they threw her out into the cold. When she woke up next, she was in what seemed to be heaven, being treated like a princess. She thought she was dreaming or hallucinating when she saw her mother, the woman who died when she was only six years old. She was now the Luna of one of the most powerful packs. Vanessa goes from being a weak slaw that everyone used to the mate of the alpha of the most powerful packs. She is out for revenge and blood now, and she would stop at nothing until she destroys everyone that abused her, including Damian the man who fathered her kids.

My mate, Charalambos, was the heir to the Nightshade Pack. To take over as Alpha, he was sent to Noctis City, the capital city, for special training. When he left, my stepsister, Francesca, insisted on going with him. He refused at first, but she forced his hand, threatening a hunger strike until he gave in. Eventually, he allowed her to accompany him as his assistant. This went on for three years. Throughout those three years, our mate bond stayed strong. I never felt the slightest hint of betrayal. He constantly reassured me through our mind-link. "You're the only one for me." At some point, I started receiving photos anonymously. Francesca kissed him in the face, but he never refused. Once, Charalambos and I were on a video call in the dark, and I could hear Francesca’s breathless voice clearly while she whispered his name in the heat of it. Three years later, the day he returned to the pack, I saw her walking behind him. She had been with pup for five months, and there was a smug, victorious smile on her face. He looked at me apologetically. Guilt was written all over his face. "I'm sorry. I’ve only ever loved you. Once the pup comes, you can raise it." I was done. I had waited for three years. I made up my mind to reject him.

Though the future was unforeseen.

On my sweet sixteen, my three brothers came home with a girl named Sylvie. They said I have to treat her like my family. I didn’t think much would change. But years later, everything did. Jace, my youngest brother, shoved me down the stairs for her. Asher—the oldest, who once promised he'd protect me forever—told me to get out. So I left. Quietly. They thought I was just acting out. So they took Sylvie to France, didn't even bothering to check in What they didn’t know was that I’d signed my name on a contract—one that aligned me with our family’s biggest rival by becoming their youngest chemist. Written in black and white, I could never go home again. The night they found out I was really gone for good? They broke. Every last one of them.
