Capitán

En la fiesta de nuestro primer aniversario de bodas, caí de bruces sobre una alfombra roja, jadeando como pez fuera del agua. Carlo Pipino, mi esposo, rodeaba con el brazo a Gianna Verde, su amor de la infancia, bebiendo champán y riendo. Gianna sabía que yo era alérgica a las nueces y algunos frutos secos. Así que, obviamente, lo bañó todo con aderezo a base de avellanas. Un bocado y ¡pum!, se me hizo un nudo en la garganta, se me encendieron los pulmones y me reventó el salpullido como confeti. Busqué mis medicamentos para la alergia y, en su lugar, encontré un puñado de M&Ms derretidos. Gianna se rio al ver mi cara. —¡Sorpresa!, Carlo te cambió los medicamentos. ¿En serio, Siena? ¿Una nuez? ¿No te parece demasiado dramático? Me deslicé de la silla, jadeando, mientras el público apostaba sobre cuánto duraría mi «actuación». —Carlo... mis medicamentos... —grazné—. Por favor. Voy a morir. Él suspiró, molesto. —Dios mío, qué dramática eres. ¿Por qué las mujeres siempre juegan a hacerse las muertas para llamar la atención? Sabes que te amo. ¡Detén este espectáculo de una vez! En ese momento, mi corazón se rompió más rápido que mis pulmones. Dejé de suplicar. Presioné la señal de socorro. Llamé a mi verdadera familia.

Ella, une jeune femme ordinaire, souhaitait simplement devenir mère. En toute bonne foi, elle décide de recourir à une insémination artificielle à travers une clinique réputée. Mais ce qui devait être un simple acte médical va basculer dans l'irrationnel. Car sans le savoir, elle a été inséminée avec un échantillon appartenant à un homme hors du commun : Dominic Sinclair, un milliardaire froid, autoritaire… et loup-garou. Quand Dominic apprend que l’un de ses échantillons a disparu, il entre dans une fureur glaciale. Face à Ella et à sa sœur Cora, technicienne dans ce laboratoire aux secrets bien gardés, il exige des réponses. L’enfant qu’Ella porte n’est pas tout à fait humain, et il le sent dans son sang. Son héritier est en elle un héritier né d’un mélange improbable entre deux mondes censés ne jamais se croiser : celui des humains, et celui des changeurs. Ella refuse d’y croire. Les loups-garous n’existent que dans les romans… n’est-ce pas ? Mais les faits sont là. Les yeux de Dominic brillent d’un éclat surnaturel. Ses griffes surgissent à volonté. Son aura, animale, la paralyse de peur et d’attirance. Tiraillée entre la panique, la colère et le vertige, Ella découvre que le laboratoire dans lequel sa sœur travaille n’est qu’une façade : un pont entre les espèces, un centre de recherche servant de couverture à une organisation bien plus vaste, enracinée dans une société surnaturelle. Une société dirigée par des meutes, des alphas... et un roi. Mais ce qu’Ella ignore encore, c’est que son enfant pourrait être bien plus qu’un simple croisement.....un héritier mais pas n'importe lequel... Celui qui sera élu par la déesse.

Le jour de mon anniversaire, mon compagnon, Jackson, a épousé son premier amour dans une église. Quand je l'ai confronté, il m'a répondu froidement : « Layla a été empoisonnée par le poison du loup. Je ne fais que réaliser son dernier souhait. » « Tu nous vois vaiment trop tordus. Si j'avais été infidèle, tu l'aurais su, non ? » Il savait parfaitement que, pour le sauver, j'avais perdu mon âme de louve. Qu'entre lui et moi, il n'y avait plus cette connexion télépathique propre aux compagnons liés. Depuis longtemps, je n'étais plus qu'une ordinaire. Inutile. Je n'ai ni pleuré ni crié. En silence, j'ai pris rendez-vous chez la guérisseuse pour interrompre ma grossesse. Puis, j'ai quitté cette maison. À Jackson, je n'ai laissé qu'une lettre d'adieu, et un cadeau de divorce. Mais, sans que je comprenne pourquoi, Jackson — qui m'avait toujours traitée avec mépris — s'est mis à me chercher comme un fou, obsédé par ma trace.
