Dans ma vie précédente, personne ne m'a aimée à part mon compagnon Alpha, Grayson. Mes parents et mon frère me traitaient comme une simple réserve d'essence de loup ambulante pour ma sœur Victoria. Mais Grayson n'avait pas oublié que j'avais peur du noir et laissait discrètement une veilleuse après mes transfusions d'essence ; il a gardé au fond de son cœur ma remarque en passant sur mon envie « de trouver un coin tranquille pour peindre », et m'a offert sans broncher cinq milliards d'euros pour que j'achète ma forêt préférée. Quand je lui ai avoué mes sentiments, même s'il a été surpris, il a tout de même accepté ma déclaration et m'a promis qu'il me marquerait, c'était certain. Dieu sait à quel point j'étais heureuse sur le moment — celui que j'aimais m'aimait aussi. Ce n'est qu'en mourant que j'ai compris que sa gentillesse envers moi était conditionnée par mes dons réguliers d'essence de loup à Victoria. Après ma renaissance, la première chose que j'ai faite a été de claquer cinq milliards d'euros dans l'achat d'une forêt isolée. « Mlle Ember, vous êtes sûre de vouloir acquérir cette forêt ? Si vous l'achetez et vous y installez, il sera quasiment impossible de joindre le monde extérieur. » J'ai hoché la tête, un soulagement perceptible dans la voix. « C'est précisément ce que je cherche — un endroit où personne ne pourra me retrouver. » Mais alors, quand je suis vraiment partie, pourquoi ma famille et Grayson sont devenus complètement fous en me suppliant de revenir ?

My throat burned as he wrapped his hand around it, his grip was firm but not crushing—cold steel pressed against my neck, the knife. I gasped, my bag slipping from my shoulder. It hit the ground with a dull thud, spilling open, and my book tumbled out. He glanced down, bent, picked it up, and flipped it open. His eyes skimmed the page. Then his mouth curved into something that wasn’t quite a smile, a dark smirk, like he knew exactly what I had been reading. And worse, he saw the notes. My handwriting in the margins, messy lines of ink: God, I wish someone would ruin me like this. I shouldn’t like it, but I do. Imagine the knife on me instead. Heat exploded in my face. I wanted the ground to swallow me. His eyes lifted back to mine, and I couldn’t breathe. ***** I was just a college freshman, lost in dark romance novels and fantasies of forbidden love.

Mon petit ami Jacques m'avait promis une grande cérémonie de marquage pour mes 20 ans. Pourtant, le jour de mon anniversaire, c'est devant tout le monde qu'il a solennellement demandé à ma demi-sœur Lydia de devenir son âme sœur. Sous les acclamations générales, je suis restée là, telle une pitre abandonnée, le cœur brisé. Alors que la douleur de la trahison m'engloutissait, Samuel, l'héritier Alpha de la Meute du Fantôme Noir, a surgi pour déclarer sa flamme : « Annie, je t'aime en secret depuis longtemps. Deviens ma Luna, veux-tu ? » Je l'ai accepté, et pendant cinq ans de mariage, il m'a chérie, gâtée, se souvenant de chacun de mes goûts. Jusqu'au jour où j'ai surpris sa conversation avec un Bêta et mon bonheur s'est brisé : « Samuel, Lydia est enfin devenue la Luna de le Meute de Rose Blanche. Vas-tu continuer à jouer un mari modèle devant Annie ? » « Puisque je ne peux avoir Lydia, peu importe qui partage ma vie. Au moins, comme ça, Annie ne viendra pas gâcher son bonheur. » Dans le coffre de son bureau, il conservait précieusement chaque cadeau de Lydia : pendentifs en crocs de loup, lettres marquées de ses empreintes... Même sur sa précieuse armure d'écailles, chaque plaque portait gravé le nom de Lydia. « Lydia, mon unique amour. Mes griffes trancheront tous les obstacles pour ton bonheur. » « Je t'offrirai mon cœur de loup battant, si tu le désires. » « Je te volerais même la lune, s'il le fallait ! » Ce que je croyais être cinq années de mariage heureux n'étaient qu'un mirage, et une fois la vérité révélée, tout s'est dissipé comme une brume. J'ai demandé à quitter la meute. Et dans deux jours, j'aurais disparu de la vie de Samuel pour toujours...
