La veille de mon mariage, je suis allée tôt à notre cathédrale pour connaître les lieux. Mais j'y ai trouvé mon fiancé et ma demi-sœur, Isabella, en train de faire l'amour sur l'autel. Notre autel. Je les ai surpris. Il ne s'est même pas excusé et m'a simplement jetée dehors, sous la tempête. Je me suis effondrée sous la pluie battante. C'est alors qu'il m'a trouvée. Alistair, le Prince Vampire. Il a traversé la tempête avec la grâce d'un dieu. Il m'a tirée de la boue et m'a offert un palais. Il a annoncé au monde entier que j'étais son âme sœur. Celle qu'il avait cherchée pendant des siècles. Son unique. Pendant cinq ans, sa dévotion a fait de moi l'objet de l'envie du monde surnaturel. J'ai cru que j'étais l'exception dans sa vie éternelle. Jusqu'à ce que je découvre sa chambre secrète. Mes doigts ont effleuré un parchemin ancien. L'écriture était tracée avec du sang. La première ligne portait son nom : Isabella. En dessous, de la main même d'Alistair : « Priorité absolue. Avant toute chose. » C'était un journal de guérisseur que je n'avais jamais vu. Le journal médical d'un vampire. La date correspondait à la nuit où j'avais découvert ma grossesse. La nuit où des loups-garous m'avaient attaquée. Ils m'avaient ramenée au château, couverte de sang. Les guérisseurs ne sont jamais venus pour moi. Je me suis réveillée seule. Le bébé avait disparu. Notre enfant. Et mes vêtements étaient trempés du sang. J'avais nettoyé toute trace. Quand il était rentré, je m'étais effondrée dans ses bras. Je ne lui avais rien dit. Je ne voulais pas qu'il ressente ma douleur. Maintenant, je comprenais. Cette même nuit, Isabella était elle aussi attaquée par des loups-garous. Et l'ordre d'Alistair à son conseil était : « Envoyez tous les guérisseurs. Isabella est la priorité. » Mon cœur s'est arrêté. Le désespoir m'a envahie. « Si je n'ai jamais été l'élue, alors garde ton éternité. Je n'en veux pas. »

Five years into my marriage to Ethan Morgan, I thought I was the luckiest woman alive. He'd bought a private island in my name. He'd asked me to quit my career to rest. He called me his queen. What he didn't know was that I never stopped designing — under a different name, a secret identity no one knew about. Not even him. Then his secretary left a review on my designer account, raving about the dress her "billionaire boyfriend" had gifted her. The island in the photo was mine. The man beside her was my husband. [He says his wife doesn't satisfy his real needs.] [Only if he didn't need an heir from her, she'd already be gone.] I was pregnant with that heir. And he would never know. I made one call: "I need a new identity. And a divorce agreement."

“I won’t be one of your choices, Logan.” A hand around her neck and the other holding her chin up, he declares, “You were never an option, little mouse. It was you from the start.” ----- Hanna Going back home is like visiting a museum of shame. Worse, beyond that ugly feeling are harsh reality checks—parents don’t live forever, Evergreen is in danger, and the man who broke my heart five years ago is offering the position of Luna, co-guardian of the pack, in a silver platter. He’s desperate to tear my walls down even if it means breaking us in the process so he can rebuild us from the dust. But we can’t afford destruction when death tolls are on the rise and the dead starts walking. -- Logan When I learned that she left, I expected a swift return. But her shadow never once graced Evergreen’s borders, until now—when it’s the most dangerous. Her presence is the warmest comfort wrapped in a wall of thorns. I bleed for her with every push and pull, battering it down so I can meet the girl who fell for me at sixteen and start over. But something lurks in the shadows seeking to destroy our lands before we can even begin. As whispers of a curse dance in the hopeless silence, I find salvation in the unlikeliest of places—a journal from my ancestor, and a woman who’s been guarding secrets.
