El día antes de mi boda, fui temprano a nuestra catedral para familiarizarme con el lugar. Sin embargo, encontré a mi prometido y a mi hermanastra, Isabella, haciéndolo en el altar. Nuestro altar. Los atrapé en el acto. Él ni siquiera se disculpó y simplemente me echó a la tormenta. Me desplomé bajo la lluvia torrencial. Fue entonces cuando él me encontró. Alistair, el Príncipe Vampiro. Se movió como un dios en medio de la tormenta. Me sacó del barro y me dio un palacio. Le dijo al mundo que yo era su alma gemela. A quien había buscado durante siglos. Su única. Durante cinco años, su devoción me convirtió en la envidia del mundo sobrenatural. Pensé que yo era la única excepción en su vida eterna. Hasta que encontré su habitación secreta. Mis dedos rozaron un antiguo pergamino. Las letras estaban escritas con sangre. La primera línea era su nombre: «Isabella». Seguido, de puño y letra de Alistair decía: «Prioridad absoluta. Por encima de todo». Debajo había un registro de un sanador que nunca había visto. Era el registro de sanación de un vampiro sanador. La fecha era de la noche en que descubrí que estaba embarazada. La noche en que me atacaron los hombres lobo. Ese día, me trajeron de vuelta al castillo cubierta de sangre. Aun así, los sanadores nunca vinieron a buscarme. Desperté sola. El bebé se había ido. Nuestro hijo. Su sangre, mi sangre, se había ido. Y mi ropa estaba empapada con lo que quedaba de él. Limpié todo rastro. Cuando llegó a casa, me derrumbé en sus brazos. Pero nunca se lo dije. No podía soportar que sintiera el dolor que yo sentía. Ahora lo entendía. Esa misma noche, Isabella también había sido atacada por hombres lobo. Y la orden de Alistair a su consejo fue: —Envíen a todos los sanadores. Isabella es la prioridad. Mi corazón se detuvo. La desesperación era como un veneno corriendo en mis venas. —Si nunca fui yo... entonces puedes quedarte con tu eternidad. No quiero ser parte de ella.

The very thing that set that fateful night in motion. The sun has just set and the air is thick with humidity. I have gotten used to this climate which is all the more reason the cold strikes me as bizarre.

When the cold air hits my skin again, it makes me shake uncontrollably. I force my back to stiffen. “Not again,” I whisper, as I quickly move inside and go to my room. Locking the door.
