Ghost Theater

I tried to die a hundred times to make him notice me. For two years, I was Shawn Scott’s wife in name only—an unwanted bride bound by a scandal, left to live in the shadow of another woman. My parents only saw my faults. My husband only saw my mistakes. As for me? I saw no way out. Every time I tried to end it, I’d wake up again, bruised and humiliated. I was greeted not with concern, but accusations such as "Why are you so selfish, Zoe Jennings?" or "Why can’t you be more like your sister Yvonne?" It wasn’t until my hundredth suicide attempt that I finally understood: I was the only one fighting for a love that never existed. So, I stopped. I walked away. I disappeared. I gave them what they wanted—my absence. However, when I left, the man who never looked at me twice started chasing the ghost of the woman he thought he knew. By the time he realized what he truly lost, I was already learning how to live again.

You want a divorce?" Louis’s voice was cold, unreadable. "Yes," I typed on my iPad. "And this time, I won’t beg." For five years, I was nothing more than a ghost in my own marriage. A substitute bride, a deaf and mute wife who meant nothing to him. Louis never looked at me, never touched me. He paraded his mistresses in front of me, making sure I knew my place, nowhere. But I had secrets of my own. I wasn’t deaf. And I wasn’t weak. When I was kidnapped, I expected Louis to come for me. He didn’t. His indifference shattered me, but it also set me free. I made a deal with the devil, a dangerous man who helped me blackmail my own husband. If Louis wouldn’t let me go, I would destroy him. But things spiraled out of control. Now, I’m trapped. Not just between two dangerous men but between my heart and my freedom. Because despite everything… I think I still love him.

I used to believe fate was cruel. Taken as a child. Forgotten by the family who should have fought for me. And bound to an Alpha who only ever looked at someone else. For three years, I’ve lived as his wife in name only— a ghost in my own home, unwanted and unloved. When I told Matthias I was pregnant, I thought something might change. But his golden eyes burned with fury. He called me a liar. A mistake. A deceiver. Then she came back. The sister I thought I’d lost forever. The woman he grieved. The one he truly loved. The one his mating bond was connected to. Now, just as I’d walked away and reclaimed my freedom, Matthias decides he wants me back. But it’s too late. Because Alpha Cassiel Aldric—the coldest, most respected Alpha of them all, held me tight… and said, “Mate. You are mine.” Now I’m caught between two Alphas: One who threw me away. And one who would burn the world to claim me.

Als ich weit entfernt von unserem Territorium von mehreren Abtrünnigen umzingelt war, kontaktierte ich meinen Gefährten, Alpha Luke, per Gedankenverbindung und flehte ihn um Hilfe an. Er lehnte die Verbindung fünfzehn Mal ab und schließlich blockierte er sie sogar vollständig. Am Ende brach ich vor Erschöpfung zusammen und verlor das Bewusstsein, während meine Wölfin vor Verzweiflung heulte. Als ich in der Krankenstation aufwachte, saß Alex, der Anführer eines Werwolfstammes, still neben mir. Er war es gewesen, der meine verzweifelte Gedankenverbindung empfangen hatte. Zehn Minuten später stürmte Luke mit Kristy, seiner sogenannten Adoptivschwester, und unseren Zwillingswelpen im Schlepptau in den Raum. „Hast du dieses ganze Theater etwa nur inszeniert, um Kristy in den Schatten zu stellen? Ist dir eigentlich klar, wie viel Kraft unsere Krieger aufgewendet haben, nur um deine Eitelkeit zu befriedigen? Du bist es wirklich nicht wert, eine Luna zu sein!“ Mein älterer Sohn Chris warf mir einen scharfen Blick zu und spottete: „Wo ist überhaupt deine Wunde, Mama? Du siehst völlig unversehrt aus. Hast du das alles nur vorgetäuscht, um Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen?“ Mein jüngerer Sohn Collin starrte mich mit enttäuschten Augen an. Er schüttelte langsam den Kopf und flüsterte: „Mama, hast du uns schon wieder angelogen, nur weil wir Kristy mehr mögen?“ Kristy umklammerte Lukes Hand. Ihre Stimme zitterte vor vorgetäuschter Unschuld, und Tränen liefen ihr über die Wangen: „Es tut mir so leid, Christina! Ich werde meinen Geburtstag nicht mehr feiern. Aber bitte hör einfach auf, Luke und den Zwillingen Probleme zu bereiten!“ Dann sah ich zu, wie die vier sich umdrehten und ohne ein weiteres Wort mein Krankenzimmer verließen. Ich wandte mich an Alex und sagte mit eisiger und klarer Stimme: „Dieses Mal habe ich keine Zweifel und werde es auch nicht bedauern. Ich gehe! Ich werde mit dir ins Nordterritorium gehen. Und ich werde meine Worte nicht zurücknehmen.“

Im neunten Monat, kurz vor der Entbindung, war mein Körper schwer von dem Baby, das jeden Tag kommen konnte. Doch mein Ehemann Vito Falcone, Underboss der Familie, hatte mich weggesperrt. In einem sterilen, unterirdischen Krankenzimmer injizierte er mir einen Wehenhemmer. Als ich vor Schmerzen schrie, befahl er kalt, ich solle es ertragen. Seine Schwägerin Scarlett würde nämlich gleichzeitig gebären. Ein Blutschwur mit seinem verstorbenen Bruder bestimmte, dass der erstgeborene Sohn das lukrative Westküsten-Territorium der Familie erben sollte. „Dieses Erbe gehört Scarletts Kind“, sagte er. „Nach Daemons Tod ist sie allein und mittellos. Du hast meine Liebe, Alessia, ganz und gar. Ich muss nur sicherstellen, dass sie sicher entbindet. Danach bist du dran.“ Die Medikamente waren eine ständige Folter. Ich flehte ihn an, mich ins Krankenhaus zu bringen. Da packte er mich am Hals und zwang mich, seinem eisigen Blick zu begegnen. „Genug mit dem Theater! Mir ist klar, dass es dir gut geht. Du willst nur das Erbe stehlen. Um Scarlett auszustechen, greifst du zu allem.“ Mein Gesicht erbleichte. Mein Körper verkrampfte sich, als ich verzweifelt flüsterte: „Das Baby kommt ... Das Erbe ist mir egal. Ich liebe dich, ich will nur, dass unser Kind sicher zur Welt kommt!“ Er lächelte höhnisch. „Wärest du wirklich so unschuldig und würdest du mich auch nur ein wenig lieben, hättest du Scarlett nie gezwungen, den Ehevertrag zu unterschreiben, der ihrem Kind das Erbrecht nimmt. Keine Sorge, ich komme zurück, sobald sie entbunden hat. Du trägst schließlich mein Fleisch und Blut.“ Die ganze Nacht wachte er vor Scarletts Kreißsaal. Erst beim Anblick des Neugeborenen in ihren Armen erinnerte er sich an mich. Er schickte Marco, seinen zweiten Mann, um mich freizulassen. Doch als Marco endlich anrief, zitterte seine Stimme. „Boss ... die Signora und das Baby... sie sind weg.“ In diesem Moment zerbrach Vito Falcone.
