LOGINHe saved her from a lifetime of slaving away at a strip club, but the next thing she knows, she's plunged into the dark and dangerous world of organized crime...
View MoreRoger estava completamente perdido em seus pensamentos enquanto andava de um lado para o outro na suíte do hotel. Ele estava imerso em seus dilemas internos, revisitando a memória de todas as mulheres que haviam passado por sua vida nos últimos anos e falhado no teste da transição.
**Lara Volga** fora a primeira. O sabor do seu sangue ainda estremecia em seu corpo. Ele não estava apaixonado, mas via nela o potencial para algo bonito; ela era doce e meiga. No entanto, a transformação em lobo foi dolorosa demais, e Lara não suportou a segunda fase do processo. **Ana Til** veio depois. Roger lembrava-se do seu cheiro e do sorriso que o fazia rir. Contudo, assim como Lara, Ana falhou na terceira fase. O coração de Roger se apertava ao recordar cada fracasso. **Rebeca Loures**, a terceira, não conseguiu sequer atravessar a primeira fase. O desespero de Roger crescia: encontraria ele a mulher certa, capaz de se tornar sua companheira eterna? Ellen era a próxima da lista. Roger ansiava para que ela fosse a escolhida com a **Marca do Anjo**, aquela que traria harmonia para sua vida e para o espírito das mulheres que ficaram pelo caminho. Enquanto caminhava, ele olhou para a cama. Ellen acordou e sentou-se, revelando suas costas bem torneadas e a pele alvo, parcialmente escondida pelos cabelos encaracolados que caíam em cascata. Ele lembrava do nariz perfeito, dos olhos azuis e dos lábios carnudos. A única coisa que parecia não harmonizar era o tom do cabelo castanho escuro com a clareza dos olhos, mas essa beleza única criava uma conexão inexplicável. Roger recordou-se da noite anterior, mas sua mente viajou mais longe, para nove meses atrás, em uma noite de amor que o fazia estremecer. Ele torcia para que ela fosse, finalmente, a **Escolhida da Lua**. — *"Lá vamos nós de novo"*, sussurrou Roger para seu lobo, **Verto. De repente, Ellen levantou-se e soltou um grito tão alto que Roger foi obrigado a tapar os ouvidos. Ela se enrolou rapidamente no lençol, com os olhos arregalados de terror. — Quem é você? — perguntou ela, em desespero. — O que estou fazendo aqui? Roger tentou se aproximar, mas ela recuava a cada passo. Ele não conseguia entender: como o **Cálice** não fizera efeito? Nunca, em milhares de anos, aquilo acontecera. — *"Eu sinto um cheiro diferente nela"*, alertou **Verto**. Roger ignorou o lobo por ora para não assustá-la ainda mais. — Olha, fica calma. Eu sei que está sendo difícil. Vá tomar um banho e relaxe; conversamos no café da manhã — disse ele, retirando-se antes que ela pudesse recusar. Ellen observou o homem sair. Ele era imponente, forte e esbelto. Ao sair, ele atendeu o celular falando em uma língua totalmente desconhecida e misteriosa. — *"Que homem!"*, sussurrou sua voz interior. Após uma ducha maravilhosa, Ellen encontrou sobre a cama arrumada um elegante terninho bege e uma maleta. Dentro, havia maquiagem, joias, seu passaporte, celular e um álbum de fotografias. Ao fundo, uma certidão de casamento. — Meu Deus! — sussurrou, perplexa. Ao folhear o álbum, viu-se ao lado do homem misterioso em vários momentos: Natal, aniversários e o próprio casamento. Até seu avô aparecia na maioria das fotos. Suas suspeitas se confirmaram: o acidente a fizera esquecer que era casada. Ao puxar a maleta, um bilhete caiu: > *"Café da manhã na Mesa de Lírio. Do seu amor, Roger."* > Ellen respirou fundo. Não sabia como dizer que não se lembrava dele. O melhor seria fingir que sabia de tudo até que sua memória voltasse. *"Pronto, está resolvido"*, pensou ela, sem imaginar que o destino de sua linhagem e a força de **Runa** estavam prestes a ser testados.61ravenMonths later, Damon and I got married, and I gave birth to the most beautiful baby. He adored it and looked after the baby as if it were his own.I’d finally got my happily ever after.***“Let’s go on to the vows, shall we?” said the vicar, smiling as Damon took my hand into his, squeezing it.Our big day.When we would finally be husband and wife.“Do you, Raven, promise to be Damon’s friend, to comfort him, and to listen to him? To celebrate his successes and support his struggles? To love him, respect him, and tenderly care for him, through all the days of your life?”“I do.”“Do you, Damon, take Raven to be your wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward? For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?”“I do.”“You may now kiss the bride.”“I’ll do more than just kiss her.” Damon smirked, and pulled me towards him as I giggled beneath his touch, feeling like a teenager again with a school cr
And I was willing to leave everything behind for Raven’s sake.The cop shuddered, his tense shoulders relaxing. I knew now that he believed me, and he was willing to let me go free as long as I cooperated.“If all of this is true, then you have just killed London’s most wanted criminal,” he murmured. “I’m going to go back to the station to see if all the information you just told me checks out. I have a feeling that you’re telling the truth.” He let out a sigh. “What you did was admirable. You saved a pregnant lady and gave her justice from her abuse. All your criminal charges will be dropped, effective immediately, and you have earnt the respect of the police in this town.”“Thank you for your cooperation, Officer,” I said thankfully, shaking his hand.The cop nodded left for the station.60damonLATER THAT NIGHTI made my way to Raven’s hospital bed. I hadn’t been able to leave the hospital, I didn’t want to leave her side for a second after seeing the state that she was in.She wa
59damon“She’s losing a lot of blood.”“We need to stabilise her condition.”“Initiate life support.”***The doctors performing emergency procedures on Raven and the way they rushed her into the Intensive Care Unit was all I could think about. The words of the doctors replayed themselves over and over in my head, like a form of motherfucking torture.I stood with Sophia outside of Raven’s room, looking at her through the glass window, fighting for her damn life on life support. And it broke my heart.“Hang in there, sis,” Sophia whispered, a tear rolling down her cheek.I couldn’t bear to look at Raven any longer. I was constantly reminded of my own part in this, how I didn’t get to the hotel fast enough to save her. The guilt was eating me alive, consuming me whole.I trudged away from the area, needing to get my head straight. Needing to think of something else.Anything but this.I made my way to the waiting area, and poured myself a cup of water from the water dispenser, still s
I broke into a run, sweating profusely, running as fast as my legs could possibly carry me. I needed to get to her. I needed to tell her how I felt before she ended up choosing Lazarus and shutting me out completely. I was the man who treated her like a princess. All Lazarus ever did was treat her like a whore.I picked up speed with every footstep, making my way to the London County Hall. Then I arrived at The Disston hotel, where Sophia had told me Lazarus and Raven were.It was time to take control of this situation and fix it once and for all.58damonI made my way up the hotel stairs after threatening the fucking receptionist to tell me which room number Lazarus and Raven were in. I felt bad, but it needed to be done. I was past caring at this point. I was thinking with my heart now…not my brain.Room 420.I slammed the door down with a huge force, and then my pupils dilated in terror as I watched the scene play out in front of me.Feeling my heart shatter into millions of tiny
