The road ahead of Valeria was long and tough; Enemies and friends were equally unpredictable. How would this bruised girl survive in this cruel world? And when fate brought Magnar to her again, how would she choose? In a world where trust is a luxury and power is everything, would Valeria rise as a savior—or a force of destruction?

Kurz vor unserer Paarungszeremonie erzählte mir mein Gefährte, Alpha Damien, er müsse eine Omega aus unserem Rudel, Seraphina, vorübergehend markieren. Er behauptete, sie hätte die Mondkrankheit und würde sterben, wenn er sie nicht markierte. Ich wehrte mich dagegen, aber am nächsten Tag zog er Seraphina direkt in das Penthouse des Packhauses ein. Die Suite, die für die zukünftige Luna bestimmt war. Meine Suite. Um mich zu beruhigen, ging er sogar auf die Knie, mit roten Augen, als er versprach: „Sobald sie in Sicherheit ist, werde ich die Markierung entfernen. Du wirst immer noch meine einzige Luna sein.“ Aber dann suchte mich Seraphina auf, mit einem medizinischen Bericht in der Hand. Sechs Wochen schwanger. Sie hatten ihre Markierungszeremonie bereits lange abgehalten, bevor Damien überhaupt zu mir kam. Mein Herz zerfiel zu Asche. Mein Stift grub sich in den Kalender und ritzte ein wütendes X über das Datum, das für unsere Paarungszeremonie bestimmt war. Dann öffnete ich meinen Laptop und antwortete auf die E-Mail der Europäischen Gilde der Lorbeerheiler. „Ich nehme Ihre Einladung an. Ich reise am Tag der Paarungszeremonie ab.“

Juste avant la cérémonie d'accouplement, mon compagnon, Alpha Claude, m'a dit qu'il devait marquer temporairement une Oméga de notre meute, Fabienne. Il a prétendu qu'elle avait la maladie de la lune et qu'elle mourrait s'il ne la marquait pas. Je me suis disputée avec lui à ce sujet, mais le lendemain, il a installé Fabienne dans le penthouse de la Maison de la Meute. C'était la suite destinée à la future Luna. Ma suite. Pour me calmer, il s'est même mis à genoux, les yeux rougis, et m'a promis : « Quand elle sera en sécurité, j'enlèverai la marque. Tu resteras ma seule Luna. » Mais ensuite, Fabienne m'a retrouvée, un rapport médical à la main. Elle était enceinte de six semaines. Ils avaient déjà fait leur cérémonie de marquage bien avant que Claude ne vienne me voir. Mon cœur s'est brisé en cendres. Mon stylo a creusé le calendrier, gravant un X vicieux sur la date qui était censée être celle de notre cérémonie d'accouplement. Puis j'ai ouvert mon ordinateur portable et répondu à l'e-mail de la Guilde Européenne des Guérisseurs du Laurier. « J'accepte votre invitation, je pars le jour de la cérémonie d'accouplement. »

Mi hermana, Lily, fue despedazada por renegados. Lloré desconsoladamente, suplicándole a mi compañero destinado, el Alfa Ethan, que encontrara a sus asesinos. Nunca lo hizo. Un año después, en el aniversario de su muerte. Fui a buscar a Ethan, lista para decirle que estaba embarazada. En su lugar, lo encontré sosteniendo a otra Omega, Bella, en sus brazos. —No te preocupes —la consolaba él—. Nadie se enterará de que quitaste el escudo mental de la manada y provocaste la muerte de Lily. Una vez que Harper renuncie a su título de Luna en la ceremonia, tú serás mi única y verdadera compañera. Mi corazón se hizo añicos. Así que era eso. Nunca me marcó, nunca me rechazó… quería que yo renunciara por mi cuenta. Estaba protegiendo a la asesina de mi hermana. Quería convertirla en Luna. Entré furiosa, gritando, pero de repente Bella tosió sangre y se desplomó. Envenenamiento por acónito, afirmó ella. —¡La envenenaron para salvarme! ¡Dame la sangre de tu corazón! ¡Es lo único que puede salvarla! Ethan me miró con más asco como si yo fuera basura. —¡Estoy embarazada! ¡Eso matará al cachorro! —supliqué. Pero su Comando de Alfa cayó sobre mí. Mi cuerpo ya no me pertenecía. Solo pude observar cómo la gruesa aguja perforaba mi pecho, justo encima de mi corazón. Sangre dorada fluyó. Un dolor agudo y desgarrador atravesó mi vientre… Había matado a mi cachorro. Mi loba se hizo pedazos dentro de mí. Cerré los ojos, buscando una conexión prohibida en el mundo de los hombres lobo. —Rey Licántropo Rogan. Mañana necesito que me ayudes a destruir todo en la manada Bosque Negro. Incluyendo al Alfa Ethan.

My fated mate left the pack, heartbroken, after I rejected him. Seven years later, he returned with his new mate-to-be. By then, the pack doctor had given me my final diagnosis. "Extreme wolf spirit decay." It was irreversible. My wolf would be gone within months. My life was at its end. My fated mate, Alpha Roric, now the most powerful Alpha in North America, smirked when he saw me. I was pale and thin, leaning on my sister for support. "Ayla. Seven years, and you're too weak to even stand straight? When you rejected me, didn't you say that beta was a better match? Where is he now?" His voice dripped with hate. I just tugged on the sleeves of my coat, hiding the way my fingers trembled. A tell-tale sign of my power slipping away. "It's just a cold." Roric's gaze swept over me like ice. "In that case, you should come to my Mating Ceremony with Cressida. I'll save you the best seat." I just smiled. "I can't. I'll be going somewhere far away soon. I'm sorry." Then, pulling my sister with me, I turned and melted into the shadows.
