Ano N

No dia em que Lorena Rochas e Isaac Cunha completavam cinco anos de casados, o primeiro amor de Isaac voltou para o Brasil. Naquela mesma noite, Lorena descobriu que Isaac, trancado no banheiro, murmurava o nome do primeiro amor enquanto se masturbava com a própria mão. Foi assim que Lorena entendeu qual tinha sido, durante cinco anos, o verdadeiro motivo de Isaac nunca ter tocado nela. Isaac disse: — Lorena, a Aurora voltou sozinha, ela está sem ninguém aqui, eu só estou ajudando como amigo. Ela respondeu: — Eu entendi. Isaac explicou: — Lorena, eu prometi para a Aurora que eu ia com ela para a ilha comemorar o aniversário dela. Eu só estou cumprindo uma promessa antiga. Ela disse: — Tá bom. Isaac continuou: — Lorena, para esse jantar eu preciso de uma assistente à altura. A Aurora é mais adequada do que você. Ela apenas murmurou: — Uhum, vão vocês dois. Quando Lorena parou de se irritar, parou de chorar e parou de discutir, foi Isaac quem começou a estranhar e perguntou: — Lorena, por que você não fica com raiva? Lorena, claro, já não ficava mais com raiva, porque ela também estava de partida. Lorena, que já estava cansada havia muito tempo daquele casamento morto, começou, em silêncio, a estudar inglês, a prestar todo tipo de prova e a enviar candidaturas para programas de estudos no exterior. No dia em que o visto dela finalmente saiu, Lorena colocou o acordo de divórcio na frente dele. Isaac riu, sem acreditar: — Para de graça. Sem mim, como é que você vai sobreviver? Lorena virou as costas, comprou a passagem e voou para a Europa. A partir daquele dia, ela desapareceu sem deixar rastro. A próxima vez que Isaac viu notícias sobre ela, foi em um vídeo que tinha explodido nas redes: Lorena, vestida com um traje tradicional brasileiro, dançava uma coreografia típica do Brasil no céu de um país estrangeiro. O vídeo viralizou no mundo inteiro. Isaac cerrou os dentes e prometeu em silêncio. "Não importa onde você esteja, Lorena. Eu vou dar um jeito de trazer você de volta."

"You'll be a good girl for me, won't you? "he adds, his eyes darting across my face as he pushes himself further into me. All the will I had to question what had suddenly changed has left me. He was all that mattered.  Something deep in my soul told me that tonight wasn't our typical adventure.  He was aware that our days were numbered, even if I had no intentions of stopping our secret affair. This sent flutters through my stomach as he pulled out and slammed back into me. I would be married to another in just a few short months, but tonight would be burned into my brain forever.

At the end of the year, I went to the spa and discovered a stranger had been using my VIP card. When I logged into my personal profile, the last three treatment records were not under my name. The preference section listed specific details about someone else. She was allergic to rose essential oil, preferred lavender, and her heating pad temperature could not exceed 108 degrees Fahrenheit. Her menstrual cycle fell around the 15th of each month, so no waist or abdomen treatments during that time. I stared at the screen, my palms turning cold. Only my husband, Zachary White, knew this password. At the time, he said he needed it to check the balance and renew my membership. I scrolled down and found a system note at the bottom: [Birthday treatment reserved for December 30, prepared according to Ms. Anderson's preferences.] Today was December 30. My phone vibrated. Zachary had sent a message: [Working late tonight. Won't be home.] Familiar laughter drifted from the hallway. Through the glass door, I watched Zachary walk into the adjacent room with his arm around a woman, the beautician hurrying forward to greet them. "Mr. White, we have Ms. Anderson's birthday treatment ready, just as you requested."

Dans la villa déserte, Sophie Jonathan était assise sur le canapé, immobile. Ce n’est qu’après un long moment que la porte d’entrée s’est ouverte et que Théo Réaumur a fait son apparition. Son regard s’est attardé un instant sur elle avant que son visage ne s’assombrisse instantanément. « Aujourd’hui, Camille a de la fièvre. Pourquoi m’as-tu appelé autant de fois ? »

“Strip.” He ordered simply, his eyes boring tentatively, “I'll not give you the liberty of picking up your clothes if you will not do as you're told.” “You married me to get revenge on me!” I spat, angrily. “You are not supposed to have any carnal knowledge of me, I won't let it happen.” He smiled. The same smile that cuts across his lips yet doesn't reach his face. “You want me to have sex with you?” “Isn't that what you mean by stripping?” I asked, confusion boldly written on my face. A loud, dry mocking laugh from him almost made me wish for death. “No wife.” He whispered, standing up from the bed towards me. “I don't want to see any of my properties on you in my house, I want you tattered and extremely void, I want to see what you will do when you're all bare before me.” I stumbled backwards at the hatred in his voice. “I want to see you at your lowest, Now strip!”

As Gamma of the Creed Pack, I'd held the Northern Border alone for three full years. Every time I called in to ask when I could come home, my mate — the Alpha of Creed — picked up the phone himself. He told me the rogues weren't cleared. He told me the rival packs were still circling. He said, "Nora. One more year. Once we have completely eliminated all our enemies, I will hold the grandest mating ceremony for you. I swear it on the Moon." I believed him. When I dragged myself out of a pile of dead rogues with a silver arrowhead still lodged an inch from my heart, bleeding too fast for a medevac, my warriors had to shift and run me back in wolf form all the way to Creed territory. The moment we crossed the border, I saw fairy lights strung from every streetlamp along the road to the pack house. Pack wolves on the sidewalks were talking loud, smiling at each other. "The Alpha's Mating Ceremony is tonight. He's taking the Elder's daughter as Luna. Three years of peace on the border. It's a good time to be Creed." I coughed dark blood into the fur on the back of my warrior's neck and laughed, short and bitter. He hadn't needed me holding the border. He just hadn't wanted me home.
