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.

Setidaknya kata itu adalah kalimat yang mereka ucapkan kepada perempuan berhijab itu. Betapa murah senyum perempuan berhijab itu kepada mereka semua, bermain dan melempar canda bersama anak-anak begitu gembira. Lantas, tak sengaja kaki kecilnya berjalan menuju mereka. 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. ***

My African American Mom married a rich Japanese man. As I moved the skeleton of my new bed next to the window, I felt a gaze focused on me. Outside my window, was the house next door. The house shape was similar to ours, so it also had a window facing mine at the same level. Standing there on the other side was a skinny Japanese boy. As soon as I laid eyes on him, he stiffened, then shyly smiled and waved. His hair was all over the place, seeing him in his tanktop I thought to myself that he must've just rolled out of bed. But wasn't it the afternoon already? The boy says something but of course I can't hear him with my window closed so I slide it open. "Eto....hi." He tried in English. If someone were to tell me later I'd come to care about him deeply, I'd find that hard to believe. For as long as I could remember I've always felt empty. And that emptiness, I hid on instinct.

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."

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.
