Evolução

Após a morte do meu pai, eu, Lorena Lima, decidi me divorciar do meu marido, comandante do batalhão, e ficar para sempre nesta pequena vila nas montanhas. No primeiro dia, enganei meu marido para que assinasse o pedido de divórcio. No quinto dia, entreguei meu pedido de demissão no meu antigo local de trabalho. No sétimo dia, preparei um belo jantar para me despedir de todos os amigos. Vitor Brito franziu a testa, repreendendo-me por preparar pratos dos quais a sua amada não gostava. Eu me levantei e fiz um brinde à sua amada. Daquele dia em diante, Vitor não teria mais nada a ver comigo. Quinze dias depois, vi Vitor, que havia retornado de uma missão, na pequena vila nas montanhas. Só que, desta vez, a brisa noturna do campo havia deixado seus olhos vermelhos.

Eu amei Lucian por anos e dei tudo de mim para salvar a vida dele, mas tudo o que eu recebi em troca foi seu olhar de desprezo. Em minha vida passada, eu fui forçada a me tornar sua companheira, mas, no fim, morri sob as garras dos lobos ferozes que ele enviou atrás de mim, e ele ainda quebrou o pescoço do meu irmão Marcus com os próprios dentes. Na noite em que renasci, eu fiz uma escolha diferente. Eu deixei Ayara, minha rival, ter tudo o que queria. Casei-me no lugar dela com Draven, o príncipe brutal que os boatos diziam que "matava suas noivas", e ela pôde fugir com Lucian. Mas, quando a porta da limusine abriu, a pessoa que saiu foi um garoto gentil que eu havia conhecido quando tinha cinco anos. — Olhe bem, querida. Eu sou mesmo tão assustador quando os rumores dizem? — seus olhos âmbar estavam cheios de calor e carinho. Descobri, então, que ele havia encenado doze casamentos falsos, apenas esperando eu crescer. Quando Lucian se ajoelhou e implorou para que eu voltasse, já era tarde demais; eu já era a Luna do Draven.

Eu interrompi uma gravidez antes que completasse três meses — e ele nunca sequer soube disso. Ele estava ocupado demais reacendendo as coisas com a ex, ainda preso às chamas do passado. Para fazê-la se sentir confortável, deu a ela o meu quarto principal como se não fosse nada. Chegou até a transformar o que deveria ser a nossa festa de noivado em uma festa de boas-vindas para ela. Deixou que eu me tornasse motivo de chacota para todos ao nosso redor. Então virei as costas, cortei meu vestido de noivado e aceitei me casar com o homem que minha família havia escolhido para mim.

Extract. " Why are you here?" She asked, staring out the window. She has refused to face him since he entered the room, treating him as if he were a ghost. She was a ghost to everyone but not to him and she wondered why. " Came to see you. Did I come at a bad time?" He asked. With a crooked sigh, she finally turned to face him, revealing a tear streaked face. Anger rose in him. Moving towards him, she muttered through gritted teeth. " Every time is a bad time Ray, don't you understand that?" " I understand if you're angry, I can always come see you tomorrow..." She cut him off. " I don't want you to come see me tomorrow or the day after that! I need you to leave me alone! Stop trying to help me Ray, we both know it's not going to work. I wonder why you even bother. Just go away!" " Why do you keep pushing me away?! I want to help you, why won't you let me?" " Because it's of no use. No one can help me Ray, not even you. And you trying is going to hurt the both of us! Even more than we can ever imagine." She spat, tears clouding in her eyes again. She was always crying and frowning. Never smiled. He never thought she knew what it felt like to smile. " But I love you! I freaking do! Why can't you understand and let me stay?" He yelled, shaking her, tears forming in his eyes at the one girl he loved but keeps pushing him away. " Then hate me. If you truly love me Ray... You would hate me." She growled, staring deep into his eyes. Giving him a choice, to hate or love her...
