Após a morte dos meus pais, fui inesperadamente adotada pelo Alfa e pela Luna, tornando-me a única humana no território dos lobisomens. Por vinte anos, os herdeiros gêmeos Alfa me cobriram de afeto. Seus cuidados e favoritismo deixavam todos ao redor enlouquecidamente invejosos. Mas, quando quis escolher um companheiro, ambos me rejeitaram. Kane disse: — Quero me concentrar em expandir nosso território de lobos primeiro. Não quero encontrar uma companheira tão cedo. Liam disse: — Humanos não suportam a linhagem Alfa. No dia seguinte, no meu banquete de aniversário, ambos propuseram-se simultaneamente à filha da criada Ômega. Para agradá-la, me forçaram a beber a bebida "Chama de Sangue", que um humano jamais poderia suportar. Fiquei completamente arrasada. No dia em que recebi alta do hospital, liguei para minha mãe adotiva: — Estou disposta a me casar com o Rei Vampiro.

Cinq années s'étaient écoulées depuis que mon compagnon Adam Chauvin m'avait secrètement marquée. Son frère, l'Alpha de la tribu d'Ombre Lunaire, est mort dans la guerre territoriale. Pour devenir le nouvel Alpha de l'Ombre Lunaire, Adam a hérité de tout ce que son défunt frère a laissé derrière lui. Y compris sa belle-sœur veuve, Victoria. Après chaque nuit passée dans le lit de Victoria, Adam me serrait contre lui en me disant des paroles rassurantes : « Léa, patiente encore un peu. Dès que Victoria sera enceinte, nous aurons notre cérémonie d'union ! » C'était la seule condition imposée par la tribu pour qu'il puisse hériter du titre d'Alpha. Au cours des six mois écoulés depuis son retour sur le territoire de l'Ombre Lunaire, Adam s'était rendu d'innombrables fois dans la chambre de Victoria. Enfin, après d'innombrables nuits passées jusqu'à l'aube, la nouvelle est tombée : Victoria était enceinte. Mais cette nouvelle s'accompagnait d'une autre – Adam et Victoria allaient tenir leur cérémonie d'union. « Maman, il y aura une cérémonie d'union ici ? » a demandé ma fille. J'ai regardé autour de moi. Le grand hall était rempli de fleurs et de ballons. Dehors, des gens s'affairaient joyeusement à faire des préparatifs de la cérémonie d'union. J'ai serré ma fille dans mes bras : « Oui, ma chérie. Ton père va tenir une cérémonie d'union avec celle qu'il aime, ce qui signifie qu'il est temps pour nous de partir. » Adam ne savait pas que, dans la tribu de Nouvelle lune Argentée, nous ne nous préoccupions pas des soi-disant cérémonies d'union. Chez nous, les louves étaient vénérées. Ma mère était l'Alpha actuelle, et il me suffisait de donner naissance à une héritière pour lui succéder. J'ai composé un numéro que je n'avais pas appelé depuis cinq ans : « Mère, j'ai maintenant une héritière. Je suis prête à rentrer à la maison pour réclamer ta place d'Alpha. »

J'étais la guérisseuse en chef de la meute, et mon compagnon Marcus n'était qu'un simple guerrier. Tout le monde trouvait que nous faisons un couple mal assorti, mais je m'en moquais. Quand Marcus m'a demandé en mariage, j'ai accepté sans hésiter. Mais le jour de la cérémonie, Serena, son ex, a fait irruption avec un petit garçon. L'enfant a agrippé la jambe de Marcus en criant : « Papa ! » Je pensais à un piège, jusqu'à ce que je voie l'expression de Marcus. Mon cœur s'est glacé : son regard est passé d'une pâleur à une ferveur que je ne lui avais jamais vue. Puis il a soulevé l'enfant avec une délicatesse. « Annule cette cérémonie. Je dois marquer Serena et élever cet enfant avec elle. T'inquiète pas, même si je la marque, mon cœur t'appartiendra toujours. » Il croyait que je l'aimais assez pour accepter d'être sa seconde ? Pas question ! J'ai calmement contacté mon ami d'enfance, l'Alpha Dominic. « J'ai tout préparé pour la cérémonie, il ne manque plus que le héros. Veux-tu venir me marquer ? »

Four years ago, at my mating ceremony with Alpha Damien, a witch publicly prophesied: "The powerful Alpha will betray the mate bond." Damien unleashed a terrifying wave of Alpha dominance on the spot, forcing the witch to her knees. He gripped my hand tightly and declared before the entire pack that I was his one and only mate. For three years of our marriage, he was flawless—devoted, attentive, beyond reproach. Until a year ago, when he was gravely wounded during a border patrol and rescued by a stunningly beautiful rogue Omega named Selene. Selene fell for Damien at first sight. She even knelt at his feet in front of me, crying: "I don't want anything in return. Just let me stay near you—I'd be your mistress with no title if that's what it takes." Damien shoved her away without hesitation and coldly ordered her placed at the edge of the territory, never allowing her within arm's reach. In that moment, I trusted him completely. I believed our mate bond was unbreakable. Selene asked seductively. "Alpha, who's better in bed—me, or your dignified little Luna? Your cock fucks me so good every time." Damien's low, ragged breathing filled the audio. He slapped her ass and warned coldly: "Don't get ideas above your station. Elena is my only Luna. You're just a bitch I use to blow off steam." Selene pouted with a coy whine: "I'll happily be your bitch as long as you keep fucking me." The video ended. Immediately after, an anonymous text popped up: "You sit in the Luna's seat. I'm in the Alpha's bed. Now we're even." I sat there all night, silently printing out a termination agreement for our mate bond. Since that's how it is, then I'll grant your wish. But after I left, the powerful Alpha went mad.

Before our fifth mating anniversary, I was just about to tell my mate that I was about to inherit the pack my Alpha father left behind, when I saw him embracing and kissing the she-wolf who once bullied me. "This game has been going on for five years. It's time to end it." "Watching her come and go like a dog whenever called is really boring. What a fool. A fake mating certificate was enough to fool her completely. Did she really think an orphan like her could marry into the Shadowmoon Pack and become Luna? If she hadn't looked decent back then, I wouldn't have bothered with this charade." I felt like I'd fallen into an ice cave, sobbing uncontrollably. So the salvation that pulled me out of the bullying abyss was nothing but his amusing joke from beginning to end. If that's the case, I don't want this false love anymore.

After the great war between humans, vampires, werewolves, and elves, an agreement was made that hybrid offspring would rule the world. Every century, alliances through marriage between humans and those three clans would decide the next ruler. Whoever bore the first hybrid child would claim power for their line. In my previous life, I chose to marry Jax, the eldest son of the werewolf pack, known for his fierce loyalty. I gave birth to our hybrid son, a white-furred pup we named Zeal. Our child became the next world ruler, and Jax gained immense power. My sister had lusted after the elves' beauty and married into their clan. But the elf prince slept with every female in the forest. In the end, my sister caught a disease that left her barren. Jealous and bitter, she set a fire that burned me and my young pup alive. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the racial alliances. My sister had already slept with Jax first. I knew she had been reborn too. But she didn't know that Jax was brutally savage with his mates, having torn countless she-wolves apart in his bed during his ruts.

My family sold one of their properties to put me through school abroad. Nathan Kingsley and I had been together three years. Two of those were long-distance. Through those two years of me alone overseas, he never broke contact — airport pickups, long phone calls, every anniversary remembered. I'd never once doubted him. I thought distance hadn't beaten us. The day I flew home, he was waiting at Arrivals with a bouquet of flowers. He smiled and said, "Finally." We set the engagement date. We picked out the dress. We booked the reception. The day the wedding march began and I stood at the top of the aisle looking at him, I thought — these three years were worth every minute. Then the doors behind me opened. My sister walked into the chapel, in a white dress, and slid her arm through his. She smiled at me. "Sorry, sis. Those airport pickups? I'm the one who sent him. For the last three years, he's been mine the whole time."

Uma semana antes da nossa cerimônia de marcação, eu disse a Ethan Stormwind que queria terminar com ele durante a festa de um amigo dele. Todos riram. Todos sabiam que, nos últimos seis anos, o objetivo da minha vida tinha sido me tornar a sua marcada Luna. Faltando apenas uma semana para a cerimônia, como eu poderia querer terminar? Até Ethan achou que eu estava sendo irracional. — Só porque eu preciso levar Selene ao curandeiro para o retorno no dia da nossa cerimônia, você está fazendo birra querendo terminar? — Nós dois somos adultos. Dá para agir com mais maturidade? Você pode simplesmente remarcar a cerimônia. Por que insiste exatamente nesse dia? Eu não tenho tempo para seus joguinhos de ciúme. Eu apenas assenti em silêncio. Sim, algo precisava mudar. Mas não era a data da cerimônia. Era ele. Eu iria aceitar a marca de outra pessoa.

En mi vida anterior, nadie me amaba excepto mi Alfa, Grayson. Mis padres y hermanos me trataban como un banco de esencia de lobo para mi hermana Victoria. Pero Grayson recordaba que le tenía miedo a la oscuridad y, discretamente, dejaba una luz nocturna encendida después de mis transfusiones de esencia; guardó en su corazón mi comentario casual de que quería encontrar un lugar tranquilo para pintar y, como si nada, me dio cinco mil millones para comprar mi bosque favorito. Cuando le confesé mis sentimientos, aunque se quedó atónito, aceptó mi declaración y prometió que formalizaríamos nuestra unión. Dios sabe lo feliz que fui en ese momento; resulta que mi amor era correspondido. Solo cuando estaba a punto de morir comprendí que su amabilidad hacia mí estaba condicionada a que continuara donando esencia de lobo a Victoria. Tras renacer, lo primero que hice fue gastar cinco mil millones para comprar un bosque aislado. —Ember, ¿está segura de que quiere adquirir este bosque? Si se muda ahí, quedará casi incomunicada del mundo exterior. Asentí, con un tono de alivio en la voz. —Eso es exactamente lo que quiero: un lugar donde nadie pueda encontrarme. Pero cuando me fui de verdad, ¿por qué mi familia y Grayson perdieron la cabeza y me suplicaron que regresara?
