Nathan Levasseur hatte immer ein perfektes Leben. Als Erbe eines Finanzimperiums, charismatisch und ehrgeizig, bekommt er immer, was er will. Erfolg, Macht, Liebe: alles gehört ihm. An seiner Seite steht Sophia, seine Verlobte, die Perfektion verkörpert. Sie sind das ideale Paar, von allen beneidet. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem alles zusammenbricht. Ein Autounfall lässt ihn gelähmt zurück. Von einem Tag auf den anderen verliert Nathan alles: seine Freiheit, sein Selbstbewusstsein… und Sophia. Sie liebt ihn, sagt sie, aber nicht genug, um diese neue Realität zu ertragen. Sie verlässt ihn ohne einen Blick zurück. Verletzlich in seinem Körper und in seinem Stolz, stürzt Nathan in Wut und Ablehnung. Er lehnt Hilfe ab, verweigert Zuneigung, weigert sich, als ein geminderter Mann gesehen zu werden. Doch Léa, seine ehemalige Assistentin, bleibt. Sie, die in seinen Augen nie gezählt hat, weigert sich zu gehen. Die Monate vergehen. Léa wird zu seinem Halt, die ihn antreibt, sich neu zu erfinden. Doch Nathan lehnt es ab, erneut zu lieben. Er weigert sich zu glauben, dass sie ihn anders als als einen gebrochenen Mann sehen könnte. Also stößt er sie immer wieder von sich, bis auch sie schließlich geht. Aber vielleicht ist es zu spät, um das, was er zerstört hat, zu reparieren. Vielleicht gibt es Fehler, die sich nicht verzeihen lassen. Oder vielleicht… hat die Liebe doch noch eine Chance zu existieren, selbst inmitten der Asche der Vergangenheit.

The night before our Mating Ceremony, my fated mate, Alpha Ryker of the Howling Moon Pack, ordered me to give him the Moon Soul Crystal—the very thing that protected my pack, the Willow Creek Pack. He said he needed it to power up the Howling Moon Pack's Blood Moon Altar. He also promised he'd keep me and my people safe. But he didn't know that we, the healers of the Willow Creek Pack, can only create one Moon Soul Crystal in our entire lives. Making one takes a crazy amount of moon energy. It's the treasure that keeps our pack alive. My mother, worried about me using up my moon energy while I was pregnant, gave up her own Moon Soul Crystal instead. But just three months after Ryker and I were mated, she got sick, fast. She was dying. I knelt in front of Ryker, crying, begging him for the Silverleaf Herb from the Howling Moon's forbidden grounds. It was the only thing that could save my mom. But he just looked at me, his eyes full of disappointment, and kicked me away. "I asked for the Moon Soul Crystal to test you," he snarled. "And just as I thought, you married me for our pack's treasures! Your mother's not sick. You're making it all up!" "You don't deserve to be the Luna of the Howling Moon Pack!" It wasn't until after my mother died, when he was arguing with me, trying to kick me out of the pack, that my mother's things fell and scattered everywhere. Her Soul Stone, the symbol of a wolf's spirit, shattered. That's when he finally realized he was wrong. He fell to his knees, begging me not to leave, crying for me to forgive him.

Leah, Logan’s adopted sister, threw a tantrum at our first engagement party, an episode of her pup dependency anxiety. But after that night, I gave him an ultimatum: if he couldn’t bond me before I turned thirty, he’d have to choose—me or Leah. Logan believed I’d never walk away. After all, I was bonded by my dying mother’s last wish: to be bonded with the werewolf warrior who’d loved me for ten years. Ten years together. Twelve promises that he’d keep Leah in line. And then came my twenty-ninth birthday—our thirteenth engagement party. Leah locked me in a restroom, stole my gown, and stood beside Logan in my place. She was smiling, glowing, claiming everything that was mine. When I finally stepped out, my gown was tattered. I confronted Logan, but he only said, “Alison, forgive her. I promise, this is the last time.” I looked at the torn gown my mother had sewn through sickness and pain… and I laughed. Logan sighed in relief, thinking I’d let it slide again. But I didn’t. I turned and walked away without a word. After a decade together, he thought I belonged to him. Well, he was wrong. He didn’t know that there was someone else who could give me happiness and fulfill my mother’s wish.

No meu quinto ano de casamento com o Don de uma poderosa família da máfia, descobri que o amuleto de proteção que ele me deu me causava dores de cabeça sempre que o carrego comigo. Como cirurgiã, isso acendeu um sinal de alerta em mim. Retirei os pequenos sachês que encontrei dentro do amuleto e os levei ao laboratório de toxicologia do Hospital Cursley. O médico examinou o sachê e me disse que ele continha um tipo de veneno de ação lenta que não apenas causava danos ao organismo da vítima, mas também a tornava infértil com o tempo. Chorei e exclamei: — Mas isso é impossível! Foi meu marido quem me deu isso! O nome dele é Vincenzo Cursley. E ele também é o dono deste hospital! O médico me olhou confuso. — Moça, por favor, pare com esse absurdo. Eu conheço o Sr. Cursley e a esposa dele. Eles são muito próximos e unidos. Aliás, a Sra. Cursley deu à luz um menino há pouco tempo. Os dois estão agora na ala VIP, admirando o bebê. Em seguida, o médico me mostrou uma foto no celular. Vincenzo estava usando seu habitual terno preto com o brasão da família Cursley bordado nele. Ele segurava um bebê nos braços, e a mulher ao lado dele... Eu a conhecia. Seu nome era Claudia Henderson. E Vincenzo sempre a chamou de irmã adotiva.

Como cirujana, esto me alarmó. Tomé los pequeños sobres que encontré dentro del amuleto y los llevé al laboratorio de toxicología del Hospital Kosley.
