Mais Yannick était torse nu et dormait profondément à côté de moi.

Je l'ai aimé. Je lui ai sauvé la vie. Je l'ai épousé. J'ai enduré cinq ans de sa haine, car je croyais que le lien d'âme sœur avait une signification. Il n'en avait aucune. Pour Ryker Stirling, j'étais un fardeau. Un rappel des péchés de ma famille. Une femme brisée et sourde, indigne d'être Luna. Il me touchait comme par devoir. Froid. Vide. Mais sa demi-sœur ?

Plus forte. Entière. Avec une fille qui a ses yeux. Et maintenant, il me veut à nouveau. Trop tard.
