Damien se divorciou da ex-esposa há cinco anos e então se casou comigo. Quando nos casamos, ele tinha uma filha adotiva de treze anos chamada Lily. Depois do nosso casamento, Damien sempre me tratou excepcionalmente bem. Eu sempre tratei Lily como se fosse minha própria filha. Mesmo quando ela demonstrava certa hostilidade comigo de vez em quando, eu não me importava, isso é normal para uma adolescente. Até que meu pai foi atropelado em um acidente e ficou em estado vegetativo. Foi então que, por acaso, ouvi uma conversa entre Damien e seu assistente. — Chefe, eu não entendo. Por que bloquear a craniotomia? — o assistente perguntou, confuso. — Os médicos disseram que há uma grande chance de ele se recuperar. Por que o senhor insiste no tratamento conservador? — Ele não pode acordar — a voz de Damien saiu baixa, carregada de dor. — Ele viu o rosto da Lily. Tapei a boca com a mão, as unhas cravando na minha pele. Lily é filha adotiva de Damien e de sua falecida ex-esposa, Sarah. Sarah morreu salvando Damien, e desde então ele sempre tratou Lily com uma mistura de culpa e indulgência absoluta. Damien continuou, o tom cheio de conflito: — Mas a Lily não fez isso de propósito! Ela tem só treze anos... Se tiver uma ficha criminal, a vida dela estará acabada. O último desejo da Sarah, antes de morrer, foi que eu cuidasse da Lily e a visse crescer em segurança. Eu não posso desistir dela. O assistente ficou em silêncio por alguns segundos. — E quanto à sua esposa? — Eu vou compensá-la — a voz de Damien suavizou. — Vou dar a ela a vida mais próspera possível. Vou garantir a melhor suíte particular e os melhores cuidadores para o pai dela. Não importa quanto custe. Meu coração afundou por completo. Só porque você se sente culpado por Sarah e Lily, vai sacrificar o meu pai? Com as mãos tremendo, salvei a gravação e pedi ao meu advogado que preparasse os papéis do divórcio. Mas quando eu desapareci completamente da vida dele, o poderoso CEO enlouqueceu.

Mi madre me envió a Riverton para casarme con Marco Ricci. Un movimiento de poder. Uno destinado a consolidar el control de nuestra familia sobre la ciudad.

Visité la más elegante joyería de Riverton para comprarle a mi prometido un regalo. Sin embargo, una mujer me lo arrebató de las manos. Antes de que pudiera moverme, el gerente de la tienda ya estaba adulándola. —¡Señorita Bianca! ¿Un regalo del señor Ricci? ¡Luce perfecto en usted! ¿Marco? ¿Mi prometido? Así que esta era su puta. Ella deslizó el anillo de zafiros en su dedo y me lanzó una mirada de disgusto. —¿Quién diablos eres tú, perra? ¿Estás tratando de robar lo que es mío? Ni siquiera la volteé a ver. Simplemente, llamé a Marco. —Tu puta tiene algo que es mío. Tienes tres minutos. Ven a la joyería y encárgate de ella.

Seven years after I lost my wolf, I watched my mate, Alpha Glen, get his heart ripped out and his body torn apart. The pack demanded the killer's name. I bit through my tongue and kept my mouth shut. Lena, Glen's childhood friend, hated me with everything she had. Six-year-old Nick cried and asked why I hadn't saved his father. I shoved them all away. Then the pack broke my leg and cast me out. For fifteen years, I drifted. I barely stayed alive in a dead northern town, wolfsbane buried in my bones, one leg ruined, half-crippled, waiting to die like some rogue. The day the door crashed open, Nick was already Alpha. He grabbed my chin, his eyes burning with pure hate. "You hid the murderer. You don't deserve to be my mother. "Take her back to Thanis. Strap her to the Mindfang Rig. I want the truth—even if that machine kills her." I thought that device would kill me. But when the truth was finally ripped into the open, Nick dropped to his knees and broke down, calling me Mother. Lena wanted to die to beg my forgiveness. And the whole pack lost its mind.
