"What was it that you said to me in front of your mother?" I paused, racking my brain to recall Blake's exact words he had said to me two years ago. "Oh yes, I remember now. I Lily Conner reject you, Blake, as my mate," I sneered even though I never knew what it meant to reject him as a mate. I shoot him a disgusted look, I couldn't help but notice the pain and sadness in his eyes as if they were shattered pieces. **** Lily Conner is a timid, beautiful, shy, and nerdy human who had her life in order by the age of 22 until she had a one-night stand with a stranger calling himself Alpha Blake in a small weird unwelcoming town called Blood Moon that ruined everything for her. Meanwhile, Blake (who comes with a dark past) knew who Lily was to him but he still went ahead and rejected her because it was forbidden to mate with a human. But what happens if that human is expecting his children?

“The only crime I ever committed wasn’t murder, Robert. It was simply loving you. I don’t think anyone has ever loved you the way I did. I loved you to the point I was willing to sacrifice myself for your happiness. But not anymore. I’m over all that shit now. Sooner or later, you’ll regret what you’ve done, and you’ll realize what a huge mistake you made. And by then, it might just be too late.” Lily had once believed she could endure anything for love—even a loveless marriage. Bound by a contract to her high school crush-turned-husband, Robert, a cold and distant billionaire, she sacrificed her dreams, her desires, everything for his success. But when she became pregnant—a violation of their marriage agreement—her world shattered. Betrayed by Robert, who chose his ex-lover over her and accused her of a crime she didn’t commit, Lily was sentenced to years in prison, losing everything, including her freedom and even giving birth while in prison. After escaping her past, Lily fought to rebuild her life, creating a future for her children far away from Robert’s shadow. Just when she thought she had found happiness, Robert reappears, desperate for a second chance. Now, Lily faces an agonizing choice: forgive the man who broke her heart to a thousand pieces or protect the new life she’s worked so hard to build without him. Will love be enough to heal the wounds of the past, or will her scars run too deep to ever truly heal?

“Kamu sadar, Lily! Sadar sebagai ibu pengganti bagi anakku, itu sama saja meneken kontrak kalau kamu milikku! Meski hanya setahun. Aku membayarmu untuk itu.” Lily diam, jantungnya saat ini akan meledak. Mau tidak mau, Lily menuruti Axel. Lily mulai menarik tangan Axel agar lelaki itu bisa duduk dengan tenang. Tetapi gagal, Axel tidak bisa menegakkan badan. “Kau harus lebih berusaha, Lily,” perkataan Axel yang begini mirip ledekan. Wajahnya juga menyebalkan saat ini. Kalau bukan majikan, mungkin Lily sudah menamparnya. Lily kesal, meski Axel tampan, badannya ideal dan sebentar lagi Lily dan Axel akan terikat oleh sebuah perjanjian, tetap saja, Lily harus menjaga jarak. Dia tidak boleh aji mumpung. Lily berusaha sekali memasukkan kepala Axel ke kaus. Mengangkat kepalanya sulit sekali. Badannya berat. Napas Lily yang terengah terdengar oleh Axel, membuat lelaki itu tertawa. Pikirannya masih menerawang, malam ini harusnya dia merayakan hari pernikahannya dengan Bree. Namun, Bree malah memilih Wanda untuk diajak minum. Meninggalkan Axel, dan lelaki itu sangat sebal ditinggalkan seperti itu oleh Bree. “Bree ... Bree,” rutuk Axel sambil tertawa konyol. Sementara kausnya belum bisa terpakai, karena Lily kesulitan mengangkat kepala Axel. Axel, menangkap tangan Lily, menaruhnya di dadanya yang bidang. Wajah Lily merona, hangat. Namun, sekujur tubuhnya panas dan dingin. “Lily ...” panggil Axel dengan lirih, tangan Axel yang bebas membelai wajah Lily. “Maaf, tuan aku harus pulang,” ucapnya. Axel malah menarik Lily ke dalam pelukannya. “Kau temani saja saya di sini. Apakah kau tahu kalau sesungguhnya kau sangat cantik, murni dan tulus.” Lily menganggap kalau Axel sedang membual karena sedang mabuk. Jadi, wanita itu mengangkat wajahnya. Menatap Axel tajam. Andai saja, Axel sedang tidak mabuk malam ini. Jarak wajah Lily dan Axel hanya dua senti. Mata Axel berkilat, kepalanya dia majukan, mengikis jarak yang memang sudah sangat dekat.

SILVER BLOOD'S PREQUEL Right in the middle of the ballroom, the tray as well as the champagne glasses clattered on the ground with a loud crash, spilling drinks everywhere and on everyone close, he stared at me with so much disgust and I didn't know how to feel. “Impossible! The moon goddess must have lost her mind if she thinks you, a mere wolf can match up to an Original lycan.” Every word uttered led to something I dreaded the most. “I, Prince Alaric O'Neil Winston, reject you as my mate. Get her out of here now!” For centuries, the Lycans ruled with extreme viciousness and wickedness by enslaving the weaker and inferior specie, the werewolves. Their agony and suffering met the heart of the moon goddess and she bestowed upon them a savior. Chosen To lead her kind to freedom after being rejected by her mate, the lycan prince, Diana Melbourne must become the very thing she feared—a killer!
