J'étais la guérisseuse en chef de la meute, et mon compagnon Marcus n'était qu'un simple guerrier. Tout le monde trouvait que nous faisons un couple mal assorti, mais je m'en moquais. Quand Marcus m'a demandé en mariage, j'ai accepté sans hésiter. Mais le jour de la cérémonie, Serena, son ex, a fait irruption avec un petit garçon. L'enfant a agrippé la jambe de Marcus en criant : « Papa ! » Je pensais à un piège, jusqu'à ce que je voie l'expression de Marcus. Mon cœur s'est glacé : son regard est passé d'une pâleur à une ferveur que je ne lui avais jamais vue. Puis il a soulevé l'enfant avec une délicatesse. « Annule cette cérémonie. Je dois marquer Serena et élever cet enfant avec elle. T'inquiète pas, même si je la marque, mon cœur t'appartiendra toujours. » Il croyait que je l'aimais assez pour accepter d'être sa seconde ? Pas question ! J'ai calmement contacté mon ami d'enfance, l'Alpha Dominic. « J'ai tout préparé pour la cérémonie, il ne manque plus que le héros. Veux-tu venir me marquer ? »

Il la plaqua contre le mur, et elle gémit de douleur, ses doigts s’enfonçant dans sa peau nue à la taille. — Qu’est-ce qu’il s’est passé, mi amor ? Tu es blessée ? murmura-t-il de sa voix rauque et étrangement calme. — Qu’est-ce que tu fous ?! Lâche-moi ou je hurle ! tenta-t-elle de se dégager. — Vas-y, hurle. J’adorerais t’entendre crier encore une fois, mi amor, souffla-t-il lentement. Ses yeux à elle s’écarquillèrent. — Qu… qu’est-ce que tu racontes ? balbutia-t-elle, les yeux embués de peur. — Tu pensais qu’épouser mon frère effacerait ce qu’on a fait, toi et moi ? Quelle idiote, ricana-t-il, avant de la tirer brusquement vers lui par la taille. — Non, non, non… cria-t-elle en le repoussant, alors que son esprit la ramenait à cette nuit-là. Il tituba en arrière et éclata de rire. — T’inquiète pas, c’est notre petit secret. À bientôt, Amor, lança-t-il avec un clin d’œil avant de s’éloigner dans le couloir d’un pas majestueux. — Ce n’est pas vrai… Ça ne peut pas être vrai, souffla-t-elle, le visage ravagé par le choc et les larmes. Ses genoux lâchèrent, et elle s’effondra lourdement au sol. • Catherine Baldwin, une jeune femme de vingt ans, a « accidentellement » passé une nuit ivre dans les bras d’un inconnu, deux jours avant son mariage. Une semaine après la cérémonie, elle découvre que cet inconnu n’est autre que... le frère de son mari.

Après une fausse couche, je suis sortie seule de la chambre et me suis dirigée vers le bureau du médecin où Serge se trouvait. Alors que je levais la main pour frapper à la porte, j'ai entendu leur conversation. Serge : « Enlevez l'utérus de ma femme, je ne veux pas qu'elle me donne un autre enfant. » Il a saisi la femme à ses côtés et l'a conduite devant le médecin, la main caressant son ventre : « Mais l'enfant qu'elle porte, il faut absolument le préserver, c'est mon seul héritier. » Cette femme, je la connaissais bien, c'était Jessica Picard, la secrétaire de Serge depuis trois ans. Il a répété avec sérieux et anxiété ses instructions au médecin : « Utilisez les meilleurs médicaments ! Je ne tolérerai aucun accident ! » J'ai replié ma main, et tout mon corps s'est figé, comme plongé dans un abîme glacé. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que l'homme que j'avais aimé, après avoir perdu notre enfant, prenne une décision aussi cruelle. Je ne pensais pas que ma confiance en lui se transformerait en une lame acérée, qui me poignarderait le cœur... Si l'amour a une autre forme, c'est probablement celle de laisser partir, pour lui permettre d'être heureux.
