Finally being free of the chains that bound her, she quickly embraces the person she has always wanted to be. Alpha Roman has lived a life of success; feared by his enemies but loved by his pack, he's the strongest alpha in his part of the world. Being 26 and not yet having found his mate, he wonders if his dark soul was always meant to be alone, shunned by the Moon Goddess due to a part of him he never asked for. Yet when the seemingly carefree Amara shows up at his border he's entranced by her. His soul calls out to her, but when her soul answers back he knows there a lot more to the little she-wolf, more than she herself knows.

Depois que minha irmã mais nova foi para o exterior, me casei com o chefão da máfia no lugar dela. Cinco anos depois do nosso casamento, nos tornamos os maiores inimigos um do outro. Ele me odiava por ter afastado minha irmã e por ter tramado para me tornar sua esposa. Eu o odiava por sempre me tratar como uma substituta, sem nunca me reconhecer diante do mundo. Minha falta de status trouxe humilhação aos meus pais vaidosos, e a partir daquele momento, o amor deles por mim se transformou em ódio. No fim, ele e meus pais me abandonaram em uma montanha nevada enquanto celebravam o Natal com minha irmã. No frio intenso, morri junto com o filho que nunca cheguei a conhecer. Enquanto isso, minha irmã desfrutava do amor de todos e teve o Natal mais feliz de sua vida. Quando abri os olhos novamente, havia voltado ao dia em que minha irmã retornou do exterior. Desta vez, eu não imploraria mais pelo amor de Gideon ou dos meus pais.

Quando meu marido, o presidente, soube que eu havia, voluntariamente, cedido um projeto de dezenas de milhões à assistente que ele mais estimava, achou que os três meses de silêncio entre nós finalmente haviam surtido efeito. Então ele tomou a iniciativa de sugerir uma viagem de lua de mel à Islândia. No entanto, ao saber disso, a assistente ficou extremamente enciumada e ameaçou pedir demissão da empresa. Meu marido, que sempre a mimava, entrou em pânico e passou três dias e três noites tentando consolá-la. Depois disso, alegando uma viagem de negócios, voltou a romper a promessa da lua de mel e ainda deu a ela a segunda passagem da viagem. Mais tarde, ele me explicou tudo com total indiferença: — Coisas do coração são pequenas. O trabalho vem sempre em primeiro lugar. Como presidente, tenho que priorizar os negócios. Você é minha esposa. Deveria me apoiar nisso, não é? Olhei para a publicação recém-postada pela assistente no Instagram, uma foto dos dois como um casal, cabeça com cabeça, fazendo coração com as mãos. Não disse uma palavra, apenas assenti levemente. Meu marido achou que eu tinha me tornado mais generosa e compreensiva. Ficou satisfeito e prometeu que, ao retornar, ia me levar para uma lua de mel ainda mais romântica. Mas ele não sabia. Eu já havia pedido demissão, e ele já tinha assinado os papéis do divórcio. Entre ele e eu, não haveria mais um "depois".

Após a morte dos meus pais, fui inesperadamente adotada pelo Alfa e pela Luna, tornando-me a única humana no território dos lobisomens. Por vinte anos, os herdeiros gêmeos Alfa me cobriram de afeto. Seus cuidados e favoritismo deixavam todos ao redor enlouquecidamente invejosos. Mas, quando quis escolher um companheiro, ambos me rejeitaram. Kane disse: — Quero me concentrar em expandir nosso território de lobos primeiro. Não quero encontrar uma companheira tão cedo. Liam disse: — Humanos não suportam a linhagem Alfa. No dia seguinte, no meu banquete de aniversário, ambos propuseram-se simultaneamente à filha da criada Ômega. Para agradá-la, me forçaram a beber a bebida "Chama de Sangue", que um humano jamais poderia suportar. Fiquei completamente arrasada. No dia em que recebi alta do hospital, liguei para minha mãe adotiva: — Estou disposta a me casar com o Rei Vampiro.

Meu marido Alfa, Ryder, sempre detestou o som de um filhote a chorar. Mas, recentemente, ele começou a cuidar do filhote recém-nascido da minha irmã adotiva, ficando ao lado dele no berçário todas as noites até o amanhecer. Toda vez que Ryder saía do nosso quarto para o berçário, uma dor forte e inexplicável perfurava meu peito. Essa agonia durava a noite inteira, até o amanhecer, quando ele voltava. Eu finalmente tinha chegado ao meu limite. No Festival da Lua Cheia, anunciei na frente de toda a alcateia que estava rejeitando nosso Laço de Companheiro. A conexão mental da alcateia explodiu em sussurros de que a batalha havia danificado minha mente. Uma luz dourada acendeu nos olhos de Ryder enquanto ele me encarava, descrente. — Por eu estar ocupado demais para verificar se você estava bem quando se feriu, você está rejeitando nosso laço por causa de um filhote de seis meses? Eu não o encarei. Em vez disso, meu olhar se demorou na leve marca de batom borrada dentro da gola dele. Minha voz tremeu, mas não vacilou. — Já que você ama tanto o filhote dela, assim que nosso laço for rompido, você poderá ser abertamente o pai.

A kiss can change everything. One with your best friend, and it changes the whole dynamic. What will you do when you get to know that your best friend has been in love with you? What will you do when she doesn't want to be friends anymore and wants more instead? * “Everytime I see you with a guy, my skin burns” Millie hisses, pinning me with an intense look that makes my belly flip. I am pinned to the wall with her caging me. “Do you know how hard it is to pretend that you are only my friend, and nothing more? That I love you but cannot have you?” Her words spin inside my head, and the thundering beating of my heart echoes in my ear. How do we come to this situation? I pant as she leans closer, her eyes averting to my parted lips. I am having thoughts of her. Hell, I see her in my dreams so often now that I am not sure what she means to me now. Millie caresses my cheeks and a shiver runs down my spine. “I can't pretend anymore, Grace. It's getting really hard” she whispers in my ear and I squirm. When she meets my eyes, I say something that surprises her. “Then don't.” I crash my lips on hers, crossing whatever lines we had.
