During a battle with a rival pack, my Alpha mate, Damien, burst into my private healing sanctuary. He was carrying Lyra, a Beta warrior who had supposedly taken a poisoned blade for him. The next day, under the watchful eye of the Moon Goddess, Damien was forced by the pack elders to apologize. He explained that bringing an outsider into my sanctuary was a desperate act in a moment of crisis. After all, Lyra had saved his life.

But what Damien never knew was that the ancient curse afflicting him could only be healed by me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the beginning: the moment Damien carried that woman in, demanding I save her.

Vou vê-la mais tarde. — Só não deixe a Madame descobrir, ou receio que eu seja expulso. Todos ao redor riram e garantiram que manteriam segredo. Nenhum deles sabia que eu era fluente em vários idiomas desde criança. O que eles também não sabiam era que eu havia encontrado o celular escondido que ele mantinha na gaveta falsa, onde estavam salvos todos os vídeos imundos dele com Sasha. Eu não o confrontei. Em vez disso, contatei algumas conexões que ainda tinha em Vegas e pedi que preparassem uma nova identidade para mim. Em três dias, Claire Vega não existiria mais, e ele nunca mais me teria novamente.
