Desires Die Hard Chapter 7

I was Claire Vitale, the lost daughter they forgot, the bride my lover betrayed—and the dying girl they failed to notice. For five long years, I lived like a stranger in my own home. The Vitale mansion was a beautiful prison, where every kind word hid a lie, every promise was false, and even Lawrence, the man I was supposed to marry, cared more for Vanessa than for me. None of them saw how my body weakened each day, how the pain grew sharper. They were too busy watching their precious Vanessa. Vanessa—the perfect adopted daughter, was the girl my parents loved more than me. She came into our family when I was lost, and when I returned, I found my place already taken—by her. Just as the illness was quietly taking my future. Now she was gone, and they all pointed fingers at me, convinced I was behind her disappearance. The machine they strapped to my head would pull memories straight from my mind. "Where is she?" my father roared. My mother sobbed in the corner. Lawrence, my fiancé, stood silent—his accusing eyes louder than any shout. But I knew the truth would shock them—how Vanessa hurt me, how she faked accidents, how she made sure no one ever believed me. The machine would show them everything. As the machine began its work, I trembled—from fear and exhaustion. After all these years of being unheard, would they finally see?

Am Jahrestag unserer Paarung hatte ich die Beine um meinen Alpha Adrian geschlungen, während wir uns in einem tiefen Kuss verloren. Meine Fingerspitzen streiften die versteckte Tasche meines Seidenkleides, und meine Hand umklammerte den Schwangerschaftstest, den ich dort verborgen hielt. Ich spürte das zarte Flattern neuen Lebens in mir und plante, ihm diese Überraschung als perfekten Abschluss unseres Abends zu schenken. In diesem Moment sprach Adrians Beta Ethan mit leiser, neckischer Stimme – in der Alten Sprache. „Alpha, diese kleine Schwägerin von dir ... die frisch gereifte Wölfin Zoe. Wie hat sie geschmeckt?“ Adrians tiefes, anzügliches Schmunzeln drang an mein Ohr, leise, doch schneidend klar. Er antwortete in derselben alten Sprache: „Kennst du eine frisch gereifte Chilischote? Heiß, mit ordentlich Biss.“ Seine Hand strich noch immer über meine Taille, doch sein Blick war bereits woanders. „Halt es einfach geheim. Wenn meine Luna davon erfährt, ist alles vorbei.“ Die anderen Betas lachten wissend auf und hoben ihre Gläser – ein stummes Versprechen, sein Geheimnis zu wahren. Doch eine eisige Kälte durchströmte mich, und meine innere Wölfin erstarrte, als wäre sie gestorben. Er wusste nicht, dass ich für meine Forschung zu Werwolf-Traumata die Alte Sprache studiert hatte. Ich verstand jedes einzelne Wort. Ich hielt die Tränen zurück und zwang mich, ungerührt zu wirken, während ich die Fassung bewahrte, die man von einer Luna erwartete. Statt ihn zur Rede zu stellen, sandte ich eine magisch abgeschirmte Nachricht an Älteste Slone von der Vereinigung der Werwolf-Heiler und nahm die Einladung an, die sie mir ausgesprochen hatte. In drei Tagen würde ich mich einem geschützten Werwolf-Rehabilitationsprogramm anschließen – als neue leitende Therapeutin – und für immer aus Adrians Welt verschwinden.

Im fünften Jahr ihrer Ehe kam das Geheimnis von Gustav Müllers Geliebter ans Licht. Es war allgemein bekannt. Um ihr den Ruf der „Dreisten“ zu ersparen, kam Gustav mit den Scheidungsunterlagen zu mir und sagte: „Professor Schmidt hat mir damals geholfen. Kurz vor seinem Tod bat er mich, gut auf Jana Schmidt aufzupassen. Jetzt, da diese Sache ans Licht gekommen ist, kann ich nicht einfach wegsehen.“ In all diesen Jahren war Jana immer Gustavs erste Wahl. In meinem früheren Leben hörte ich diese Worte und brach zusammen. Ich schrie, weinte und weigerte mich, mich scheiden zu lassen. Erst als ich an schwerer Depression litt und Gustav, nachdem Jana sagte: „Chloe sieht nicht krank aus“, glaubte, ich täuschte Krankheit vor, um ihn in eine Falle zu locken und zu betrügen, reichte er die Scheidung ein. Da wurde mir klar, dass ich niemals gegen die Person ankommen würde, die ihm geholfen hatte. Verzweifelt nahm ich mir das Leben. Als ich wieder erwachte, unterschrieb ich ohne Zögern die Scheidungsvereinbarung.

I went on holiday intending to forget everything about my failed college admission. Instead, the heat stripped me bare, stolen looks that turned into touches, touches that into desires .With him, every desire wasn’t rushed; it simmered, built in shared rooms until restraint felt like a lie we were both tired of telling.
