But a Lycan Prince who cannot smell his mate is a Lycan Prince who will not believe her - and Rhea has spent enough of her life waiting for things she cannot force to happen. So she says nothing. She trains. She watches. And she tells herself that Pi's howling every time Ryker touches someone else is something she can manage. She is wrong about that last part.

Damien et son ex-femme ont divorcé il y a cinq ans, puis il m'a épousée. Quand je l'ai épousé, il avait déjà une fille adoptive de treize ans, Lily. Après notre mariage, Damien me traitait exceptionnellement bien et je traitais toujours Lily comme ma propre fille, même quand elle montrait occasionnellement de l'hostilité envers moi. C'était normal pour une adolescente. Un jour, mon père a été accidentellement renversé par une voiture et plongé dans un état végétatif. J'ai accidentellement surpris une conversation entre Damien et son assistant. « Patron, je ne comprends pas. Pourquoi refuser la craniectomie ? Les médecins disent qu'il y a de grandes chances qu'il se rétablisse. » « Il ne peut pas se réveiller », la voix de Damien était étouffée par la douleur. « Il a vu le visage de Lily. » Je me suis couverte la bouche, mes ongles s'enfonçant profondément dans ma chair. Lily est la fille adoptive de Damien et de sa défunte ex-femme, Sarah. Sarah est morte en sauvant Damien, donc il traitait toujours Lily avec un mélange de culpabilité et d'indulgence. Damien a continué, la voix teintée de contradiction. « Mais Lily ne l'a pas fait exprès ! Elle a seulement treize ans... Si elle a un casier judiciaire, sa vie est finie. La seule dernière volonté de Sarah était que je prenne soin de Lily et que je la voie grandir saine et sauve. Je ne peux pas l'abandonner. » Son assistant est resté silencieux quelques secondes. « Et votre femme ? » « Je me rattraperai », la voix de Damien s'est adoucie. « Je lui offrirai la vie la plus confortable, et je garantirai la plus grande chambre privée ainsi que les meilleurs soignants pour son père victime de l'accident de voiture. Je me fiche du prix. » Mon cœur s'est serré. Parce que tu te sentais coupable envers Sarah et Lily, tu voulais sacrifier mon père ? Les mains tremblantes, j'ai sauvegardé l'enregistrement et j'ai demandé à mon avocat de préparer les papiers du divorce. Mais quand j'ai disparu, le PDG, si puissant, est devenu fou.
