Ma sœur, Lily, a été mise en pièces par des sauvages. J'ai sangloté, suppliant mon compagnon de destin, l'Alpha Ethan, de trouver ses meurtriers. Il ne l'a jamais fait. Un an plus tard, le jour de l'anniversaire de sa mort. Je suis allée trouver Ethan, prête à lui annoncer que j'étais enceinte. Au lieu de cela, je l'ai trouvé tenant une autre Oméga, Bella, dans ses bras. « Ne t'inquiète pas. » lui a-t-il dit. « Personne ne saura que tu as fait tomber le bouclier mental de la meute et que tu as fait tuer Lily. Une fois que Harper aura renoncé à son titre de Luna lors de la cérémonie, tu seras ma seule et unique. » Mon cœur s'est brisé. C'était donc ça. Il ne m'avait jamais marquée, jamais rejetée... il voulait que je me retire par moi-même. Il protégeait la meurtrière de ma sœur. Il voulait faire d'elle Luna. J'ai fait irruption en criant, mais Bella a soudain craché du sang et s'est effondrée. Empoisonnement à l'aconit, a-t-elle prétendu. « Elle a été empoisonnée en me sauvant ! Donne-moi le sang de ton cœur ! C'est la seule chose qui puisse la sauver ! » Ethan m'a regardée avec plus de dégoût que si j'étais une ordure. « Je suis enceinte ! Ça va tuer le bébé ! » Je l'ai supplié. Mais son Commandement Alpha a été donné. Mon corps ne m'appartenait plus. Je n'ai pu que regarder l'épaisse aiguille percer ma poitrine, en plein cœur. Du sang doré s'est écoulé. Une douleur aiguë et déchirante m'a déchiré l'estomac Il a tué mon bébé. Ma louve s'est brisée en moi. J'ai fermé les yeux, cherchant une connexion interdite dans le monde des loups-garous. « Roi Lycan Rogan. Demain, j'ai besoin que tu m'aides à détruire tout ce qui fait partie de la Meute de Bois Noir, y compris l'Alpha 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.

Eu era apenas uma garota das favelas que se apaixonou por Damon Vitale, o Chefão mais temido de Nova York. Por cinco anos, eu dediquei minha vida a ele e cheguei a levar nove tiros para protegê-lo. Ele beijava minhas cicatrizes enquanto eu sangrava, me segurava apertado e me fazia pensar que eu era a sua verdadeira rainha. Então, quando eu me recuperava, ele me fodia com uma paixão tão intensa que chegava a perder os sentidos. Eu achava que ficaríamos juntos. Eu achava que iríamos nos casar. Mas, na nossa 999ª noite, ele me disse que estava noivo. Sua noiva era a princesinha da família rival, Bianca. Eu queria chorar e ele apenas segurou meu queixo, soprou fumaça na minha cara e disse, em meio a risos: — Você achou mesmo que ia se casar comigo, Nora? Vou deixar isso bem claro. A gente transa. Só isso. Você não é minha parceira. É tipo uma obra de arte que eu coleciono ou uma pet da qual sou dono. Uma pet. Era só isso que ele queria de mim. Em vez disso, fiz uma ligação de um telefone criptografado. [Eu aceito sua oferta. Três dias. Me tire de Nova York.]

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. »

Rogues took me while I was protecting my mate, Alpha Arthur. I came back three years later, only to find Arthur mated to my sister, Calista. My son, Leo, didn't recognize me. He only saw Calista as his real mother. Broken, I forced Arthur to banish Calista with the Elders' support, using my past contributions as leverage. But she died in a weak, outlying pack. Poisoned. After her death, Leo hated me for it. Arthur never blamed me, though. He just kept telling me everything would be okay. But when our pack was attacked again, he threw me to our enemies without hesitation. Left me to die. As I lay dying, I heard him snarl through gritted teeth. "If you hadn't come back, Calista would have been my mate for life!" My heart turned to ash. Then, I opened my eyes. I was back. Back to the day I returned after being gone for three years. This time, I looked at Arthur shielding Calista, with Leo clinging to her. "I sever our mate bond. From this day on, I am done with all of you."

Los rebeldes me tomaron mientras estaba protegiendo a mi pareja, el Alfa Arturo. Volví tres años después, solo para encontrar que Arturo estaba de pareja con mi hermana, Calista. Mi hijo, Leo, no me reconoció. Solo veía a Calista como su verdadera madre. Rota, forcé a Arturo a desterrar a Calista con el apoyo de los Ancianos, aprovechando mis contribuciones pasadas. Pero ella murió en una manada débil y apartada. Envenenada. Después de su muerte, Leo me odió por ello. Arturo nunca me culpó, sin embargo. Solo seguía diciéndome que todo estaría bien. Pero cuando nuestra manada fue atacada de nuevo, me lanzó a nuestros enemigos sin dudar. Me dejó morir. Mientras yacía muriendo, lo escuché gruñir entre dientes apretados: —Si no hubieras vuelto, Calista habría sido mi pareja de por vida. Mi corazón se convirtió en cenizas. Entonces, abrí los ojos. Estaba de vuelta. De vuelta al día en que regresé después de haberme ido por tres años. Esta vez, miré a Arturo protegiendo a Calista, con Leo aferrado a ella. “Rompo nuestro vínculo de pareja. A partir de hoy, he terminado con todos ustedes.”

Fui la Beta principal del Alfa Damon. Durante seis años, fui su mano derecha y su compañera en la cama. Cuando anunció nuestro ritual de unión, la manada entera lo celebró. Mi sueño estaba a punto de cumplirse. Pero entonces, afuera de su salón de trofeos privado, lo escuché presumir sobre sus Pruebas de la Luna. Y en ese momento, supe la verdad. No era la única para él, sino una de treinta candidatas. Había pasado un mes con cada una de nosotras, calificando nuestros cuerpos, nuestra sumisión y nuestro desempeño. Mi calificación fue más baja que la de una Omega. Más baja que la de Lydia. —Lydia fue increíble. Apenas y podía separarme de ella. Y luego veo a Elysia… tan tiesa, siempre tan controlada… y la verdad es que… me aburre. La conmoción me paralizó. Dejé de sentir el cuerpo. Seis años de lealtad. Incontables noches entre sus brazos. Al final, todo significó menos que un capricho momentáneo y una loba que sabía arrodillarse. Mi dolor se convirtió en una resolución inquebrantable. Le envié un mensaje a un Alfa que me había pretendido tiempo atrás. “Adrian, dijiste que tu oferta de ser mi compañero seguía en pie. ¿Estás seguro? Ya terminé con Damon.”
