The scent of pine and damp earth clung to the air as the full moon created long shadows across the Ancient Clearing. Tonight, was supposed to be our marking ceremony, a sacred ritual binding Alpha Anderson and his chosen Luna before the eyes of the Frostmoon Pack. “My heart,” his gaze locked on Leah, who stood under the moonlight “has always belonged to another. My first love, the one whose spirit has been weakened by the venom of wolfsbane, is my Luna.” He drew Leah closer, his hand possessively circling her waist. Under the watchful gaze of the moon, he smiled. “Our traditions are clear,” he continued, “Only the woman who stands with me at this altar, witnessed by all, shall be my Luna. Though I had always thought that Irene was my mate which I mistakenly marked a time ago. But thanks to the goddess for making me see clearly before it was too late.” They exchanged vows beneath the trees, witnessed by the werewolves and the Moon Goddess. The silver crowns were placed, the ceremonial kiss sealed their bond. I stood hidden in the shadows of the surrounding forest. For twelve years, from the moment my wolf recognized his at eighteen until my thirtieth moon cycle, my love for Anderson had never changed. But his heart, it was clear, belonged to Leah. If that was the truth, then I would release him. He had never truly seen me, never truly cared. Yet, the act of my departure seemed to unravel him in ways I couldn’t understand.

Diego llegó tarde a nuestra boda. Cuando finalmente apareció, entró al salón tomando del brazo de Liliana con delicadeza. Traía puesto el traje de padrino, mientras que el de novio había sido abandonado en el sofá como si fuera un trapo viejo. —Diego, ¿por qué te pusiste...? —comencé a preguntar. —¡Inés! —me interrumpió bruscamente, con la mirada alerta—. Piensa bien lo que vas a decir. Sé generosa, y no me hagas odiarte. Sonreí, decepcionada. Como Liliana Martínez, su primer amor, había perdido la memoria, habíamos quedado atrapados en el juego de ayudarla a recuperarse. Teníamos que esconderle todo lo malo y tratarla con cuidado, evitando cualquier cosa que pudiera alterarla. Diego se acercó a mí y me abrazó con ternura. —Inés, ¿puedes entenderme? —me susurró al oído, antes de darme un beso ligero. Obedecí, le agarré la mano al padrino y caminé hacia el altar del matrimonio junto a él. El otro día, me encontré a Diego en un centro comercial mientras yo compraba cosas para nuestro bebé que iba a nacer. Me detuvo, y sus ojos, enrojecidos, se clavaron en mi vientre: —Inés... Todo esto era una farsa, ¿no? ¿Por qué estás embarazada?

Their husbands are the only pair of pureblood Alpha twins in the family—Carlin Silverplume and Uriel Silverplume.

Al renacer en esta segunda vida, tomé una decisión: mantendría la máxima distancia posible de Santiago Fernández. Cuando lo vi llegar como director a mi empresa, renuncié esa misma tarde. Cuando compró un apartamento en mi edificio, me mudé al otro extremo de la ciudad. Y cuando anunció que dirigiría el imperio familiar desde aquí, solicité mi traslado internacional. En mi vida anterior, lo había obligado a casarse conmigo usando mi embarazo como chantaje. Pero justo el día de la boda, su primer amor regresó. Al vernos juntos en el altar, corrió hacia la terraza y saltó al vacío. Santiago fingió que nada había pasado y se casó conmigo, sonriendo. El día de nuestro aniversario de bodas, nos llevó a mi hija y a mí a hacer puénting. Pero él cortó las cuerdas, y mi hija y yo caímos, muriendo destrozadas. Después de nuestra muerte, se inclinó sobre nuestros cuerpos y rio con crueldad: —¡Si no fuera por ti, Valentina no se habría suicidado! ¡Ahora ve y págale por tu culpa! Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado a esa noche en que usé mi embarazo para obligarlo a casarse.
