Le jour où j'ai décidé de donner mon corps à la science, ma famille s'est rassemblée autour de ma sœur adoptive, Chloé, pour fêter son admission dans un programme expérimental de pointe. Celle qui était censée avoir un cancer du cerveau, c'était moi. Mais Chloé avait profité de la position de mon mari, Zane, à l'hôpital pour échanger ses dossiers médicaux sains contre mon diagnostic en phase terminale. Elle m'a volé ainsi la seule chance que j'avais de survivre. Et le pire ? Tout le monde l'a applaudie. La douleur est devenue insupportable. J'ai lutté pour rester présente, jusqu'au moment où j'ai surpris les infirmières chuchotant : « Heureusement que le docteur Zane a obtenu cette place pour Chloé. Ils disaient qu'il ne lui restait que trois jours à vivre. » Alors, pendant les soixante-douze dernières heures de ma vie, j'ai tout lâché, en silence. Quand j'ai remis à Chloé les manuscrits originaux de mes romans, dans lesquels j'avais mis toute mon âme, mon père et mon frère m'ont adressé un sourire satisfait. Quand Zane a décidé d'exaucer le vœu soi-disant ultime de Chloé en l'épousant, il m'a tendu les papiers du divorce. J'ai signé sans la moindre hésitation. Il a soupiré et m'a félicitée d'être enfin raisonnable. Et quand c'est moi qui ai poussé notre fille, Olivia, à appeler Chloé « maman », Olivia s'est exclamée que sa nouvelle maman était la meilleure. « Ne t'inquiète pas, » m'a rassurée Zane. « C'est juste pour la protéger pour l'instant. Une fois qu'elle sera partie, tout reviendra vers toi. » J'ai tout donné à Chloé, exactement comme ils le voulaient. Alors pourquoi, quand ils ont découvert que tout cela n'était qu'un mensonge abject inventé par Chloé, sont-ils venus pleurer pour ça, en disant que c'est moi qu'ils avaient toujours voulu ?

J'étais Rebecca, la compagne de Gauvain Clerc, Alpha de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier — la plus puissante des meutes du Nord. Gauvain était un génie des affaires qu'on ne rencontre qu'une fois par siècle, son réseau commercial s'étendant sur une douzaine de meutes nordiques et transformant la sienne en un véritable empire réussi. Il m'avait revendiquée pendant quatre ans. Nous étions prêts pour notre cérémonie d'union… jusqu'au retour de Viviane, son amour d'enfance. Le jour où je les ai vus se retrouver, la vérité m'a foudroyée : ce que je croyais être de l'amour n'avait toujours été qu'une illusion, la mienne. Dans ses yeux, il n'y avait qu'elle. Moi, je n'avais été qu'un simple arrangement. Au moins, il ne m'avait jamais marquée. Aucun lien de compagnon, seulement des papiers glacés du Conseil de la Meute. Cela simplifiait les choses. Alors j'ai préparé ma revanche : j'ai déguisé l'Accord de Dissolution du lien de compagnon en simple formulaire administratif d'université. Quand sa plume a effleuré ce document, notre lien s'est rompu d'un seul trait d'encre. Il n'a jamais compris ce qu'il perdait ce jour-là : pas seulement une compagne, mais l'héritier futur de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier. À présent, il me traque à travers les continents. Est-ce de l'amour ? Ou bien à cause du petit ? Ou seulement l'orgueil d'un Alpha, consumé par le fait que j'aie réussi à briser notre lien de compagnon sans qu'il ne réalise qu'il venait d'être joué ?

La première fois que Nathan Saint-Clair, mon ami d'enfance, s'est éveillé en tant que loup-garou, nos amis m'ont appelée pour l'aider à traverser sa chaleur. Mais Nathan a secoué la tête : « Je ne veux vraiment pas qu'elle l'obtienne si facilement. L'amour du loup-garou est loyal avant tout, et la première personne que je marque devient mon unique compagne pour la vie. Quand Bella se présentera, je ne céderai pas même si elle supplie de m'aider. » Il a attendu depuis long temps, mais je ne suis jamais venue. Nathan ignorait que le garde du corps de son frère, Léo Simon, avait déjà inondé mon téléphone de messages : « Mademoiselle Leroy, Monsieur Théodore vous a déjà revendiquée comme sa compagne. Je vous en prie, pourriez-vous venir lui donner un baiser ? » Il s'est avéré que j'étais tombée en skiant et que j'étais morte cinq ans plus tôt. Son frère, Théodore Saint-Clair, m'avait marquée et m'avait offert la moitié de sa vie, me sauvant des griffes de la mort. Ce soir-là, j'ai enlacé le cou de Théodore et l'ai taquiné : « Théo, arrête de te retenir. Dis-moi, depuis combien d'années es-tu secrètement amoureux de moi ? »
