Human Chess Pieces

A las dos de la mañana, cuando llegó la llamada urgente de los Ancianos de la manada, yo acababa de salir arrastrándome de debajo de mi amor de la infancia, el heredero Alfa Slade. Mi cuerpo todavía me dolía por su ruda posesión. Como la única sanadora humana en toda la manada Bosque Negro, se me ordenó preparar hierbas como regalo para la alianza de apareamiento de Slade con la manada de las Espinas. Levanté con cuidado el brazo de Slade, que me rodeaba. Tras una noche de pasión, su poderoso cuerpo Alfa aún irradiaba un calor febril. Supuse que esta era solo otra princesa loba a la que él necesitaba rechazar, así que le toqué el pecho con picardía y le pregunté con una sonrisa: —Slade, ¿qué excusa vas a usar por nonagésima vez? ¿Que de repente te dio alergia la princesa? Él se dio la vuelta y me besó la frente, con los ojos pesados por el sueño. —Mi dulce niña, esta vez las hierbas deben ser preparadas por ti, y solo por ti. El éxito de esta alianza descansa sobre tus hombros. Me quedé helada. Durante los últimos diez años, yo había sido su consuelo secreto, la que calmaba sus ataques violentos de ira cada noche. Pensé que, tarde o temprano, me ganaría una ceremonia de unión formal. Pero en ese momento, lo comprendí. Yo era solo una conveniencia, un cuerpo para su uso personal. Si eso era todo lo que yo significaba para él, entonces reduciría a cenizas todo lo que teníamos. Hice una llamada a mi antiguo mentor en el Instituto Nacional de Medicina, el profesor Sterling. —Profesor, ese puesto de investigación sobre genética... ¿todavía está abierto? Estoy lista para regresar al mundo humano. Pero cuando ese Alfa arrogante, que decía que éramos "solo amigos" y "estrictamente profesionales", descubrió que ya no podía percibir ni un leve olor mío en el aire, perdió completamente la cabeza.

Después de que la Gran Guerra entre Humanos y Bestias terminara, ambas partes acordaron que los híbridos gobernarían el mundo. Cada cien años, se celebraba un matrimonio entre humanos y bestias. Aquel que concibiera primero un híbrido se convertiría en el gobernante de la siguiente generación. En mi vida pasada, elegí casarme con Luciano, el primogénito de la manada de lobo, famoso por su devoción. Logré dar a luz antes que nadie a un lobo blanco híbrido. Nuestro hijo se convirtió en el próximo gobernante de la Alianza, y Luciano, como era de esperar, obtuvo un poder absoluto. Mientras tanto, mi hermana menor, seducida por la belleza de la manada de zorro, se casó con el heredero de los zorros. Pero obsesionado con sus conquistas amorosas, le contagió una enfermedad que la dejó estéril. Consumida por la envidia, mi hermana prendió fuego a mi habitación, matándome a mí y a mi pequeño lobo blanco. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado al día del matrimonio. Mi hermana, habiendo renacido también, se adelantó y subió a la cama de Luciano. Yo lo sabía: ella también recordaba su vida anterior. Pero lo que ella no sabía era que Luciano, bajo su fachada de amante ideal, era un ser cruel y violento. ¡Jamás sería un buen esposo!
