Auf eine geheimnisvolle Einladung hin tritt sie der "Akademie der Schatten" bei, einer diskreten Institution, in der die geheimsten Wünsche unter der Anleitung von Meister Kael, einem ebenso gefürchteten wie begehrten Dominator, erkundet werden. —Knien, befiehlt er. Ich widerstehe einen Moment, aus Stolz, aus Verzweiflung, bevor ich zusammenbreche, die Knie auf den harten Boden prallend. —Brave Mädchen, murmelt Isadora, aber ihre Stimme scheint fern, ertrunken im Summen meines eigenen Blutes in meinen Ohren. —Jetzt, sagt er, wirst du mir zeigen, wie sehr du das willst. Und ich weiß, mit einer erschreckenden Gewissheit, dass ich keine Wahl mehr habe.

After working overtime every day for a month, I finally completed an important code that could save my company. Five minutes into my break, my team leader, Fiona Smith, suddenly hit me in the head with her file. “Because you spent so much time in the office, our electricity bill this month has increased by 15 kWh! Do you see this office as a free air-conditioning supplier?” I was about to defend myself when she angrily pointed at my cell phone and tablet on my desk. “You’re charging your devices here? You should charge them at home! Aren’t you aware of the company’s current condition?” I could no longer hold back my anger. “Fiona, I’ve been working overtime. I’m not here doing nothing!” “Can’t you do overtime at home instead? For a fresh graduate, you sure know how to exploit the company’s resources. Who knows what other despicable things you might be capable of doing in the future?!” Fiona yelled. I stared at her twisted expression and suddenly chuckled. If only my parents had seen me working so hard over such a trivial matter. They would have immediately asked me to quit and work in their company instead. I grabbed the flash drive with the important code and called my secretary. “Jane, I’d like to purchase Galaxy Corporation, and I want it to be the best in the industry.”

Dad, I laughed quietly to myself. If you could see me now. You’d never think I’d ever be here. An actual werewolf sleeping at my feet?

As the Principessa of the Falcone family, I craved danger and absolute freedom. But on my ninety-ninth attempt to escape my arranged marriage, Vito Moretti finally caught me. My dangerously handsome betrothed cornered me at an underground racetrack. "No one walks away from me, Liliana," he smirked from his modified Mustang. "You're the first." With my weakness for dangerous men, I made a life or death wager. "Beat me on the track, and I'll marry you. Lose, and you get out of my life." Our engines roared as we tore along the cliffside road, its curves dangerously free of guardrails. Nearing the finish line, I took a turn too fast and hurtled toward the edge. But just inches from victory, Vito jerked his wheel. He slammed his car into mine, knocking me to safety as his own plunged into the icy bay below. I scrambled down the cliff, terrified, and dragged his bleeding body from the water. "I lost," he gasped, life fading from his eyes. "You're free." My heart shattered into a million dazzling pieces as tears streamed down my face. Startled by my reaction, Vito swore softly. "Don't cry. I'll tell our fathers the broken engagement was my choice. No one will dare lay a finger on you." I sobbed and pressed my lips to his. "To hell with the bet, Vito Moretti. I'm marrying you!"

Ich war im achten Monat schwanger, und die Wehen setzten ein, doch mein Alpha-Gefährte Damien sperrte mich in einen Silberkäfig im Keller, um die Geburt hinauszuzögern. Als ich um Hilfe schrie, sagte er nur, ich solle warten. Denn die Gefährtin seines verstorbenen Bruders, Victoria, brachte am selben Tag ihren Welpe zur Welt. Der Seher des Rudels hatte vorhergesagt, dass nur der erstgeborene Welpe von Mondgöttin gesegnet und zum zukünftigen Alpha werden würde. „Der Titel gehört Victorias Welpe“, sagte er. „Sie hat Marcus verloren. Sie hat nichts. Du hast bereits all meine Liebe, Elena. Der Silberkäfig wird dafür sorgen, dass du nach ihr entbindest.“ Die Wehen waren eine Folter. Ich flehte ihn an, mich in die Klinik zu bringen. Er packte mein Kinn und zwang mich, ihn anzusehen. „Hör auf, so zu tun. Ich hätte wissen müssen, dass du mich nie geliebt hast. Alles, was dir je wichtig war, sind Reichtum und Status!“ „Nur um deine Wehen zu erzwingen und zu stehlen, was meinem Neffen zusteht … Du bist wirklich böse.“ Blass und zitternd flüsterte ich: „Der Welpe kommt, ich kann es nicht aufhalten. Bitte, ich leiste einen Bluteid. Die Erbschaft ist mir egal. Ich liebe nur dich!“ Er spottete. „Wenn du mich lieben würdest, hättest du Victoria nie in diesen Vertrag gedrängt, um das Geburtsrecht ihres Welpen aufzugeben. Ich hole dich ab, wenn sie entbunden hat. Schließlich ist das in dir auch mein Welpe.“ Er bewachte Victorias Kreißsaal. Erst als er das Neugeborene in ihren Armen sah, erinnerte er sich an mich. Er befahl seinem Beta, mich freizulassen. Doch die Stimme des Beta bebte. „Luna… und der Welpe… sie sind tot.“ Und in diesem Moment verfiel Damien der Wildheit.

Ich war die beste Auftragskillerin von Don Alexander. Seine Consigliere war ich auch. Und seine geheime Ehefrau. Fünf Jahre lang lebte ich diese verborgene Ehe mit ihm. Doch in all diesen Jahren erlaubte er unserem Sohn nie, ihn Papa zu nennen. Immer wieder sagte er, die verfeindeten Familien würden jede seiner Bewegungen beobachten. Mein Sohn und ich seien seine einzige Schwachstelle. Nur wenn unsere Beziehung im Verborgenen bliebe, könne er uns schützen. Ich glaubte ihm. Also schwieg ich. Ich stand an seiner Seite, regelte die Angelegenheiten der Familie, räumte seine Feinde aus dem Weg und hielt ihm den Rücken frei. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem seine erste Liebe Bella plötzlich zurückkam. Sie war nicht allein. An ihrer Hand lief ein fünfjähriger Junge. Für Bella und dieses Kind ließ Alexander kurzerhand das gesamte Disneyland reservieren, nur damit sie dort einen ungestörten Tag verbringen konnten. Genau an diesem Tag hatte unser Sohn Geburtstag. Leo hielt den Geburtstagskuchen im Arm. Die Kerzen waren längst heruntergebrannt, die Sahne begann schon zu verlaufen, und trotzdem blieb er stur an der Tür stehen. Er wartete auf seinen Vater. Er wollte unbedingt, dass Alexander mit ihm die Kerzen ausblies. In diesem Moment starb der letzte Rest Hoffnung in mir. Ich nahm mein Handy und sagte nur: „Hilf mir, die Identitäten von Leo und mir aufzuheben. Lösche alles. Jede Information. Jede Spur.“ Als mein Sohn und ich dann wirklich verschwanden, verlor der mächtige Don den Verstand. Er setzte Himmel und Hölle in Bewegung. Er ließ nach jeder noch so kleinen Spur von uns suchen. Auf der ganzen Welt.
