Mon petit ami de dix ans m'a quittée soudainement pour épouser ma petite sœur dans un mariage éclair. Peu après, Jacques Sartre, le plus jeune professeur de l'Université Royale, a publié une déclaration sur le site de l'université, annonçant ouvertement ses fiançailles avec moi. Pendant sept ans, il a été attentionné, dévoué, comme si j'étais l'unique amour de sa vie. Jusqu'au jour où je l'ai entendu parler à un collègue : « Rose est désormais la guérisseuse la plus prometteuse de l'Université Royale. Tu comptes continuer à jouer la famille heureuse avec Amélie ? » « Mais pour que Rose puisse vivre tranquillement, je vais continuer ma relation avec Amélie. Comme ça, Amélie ne menacera pas la famille de Rose. » Silencieuse derrière la porte, j'ai écouté sa voix calme réduire mes sept années d'amour à un « jeu de rôle ». Dans son carnet de recherche, chaque page portait le nom de Rose : « Que les recherches de Rose avancent bien. » « Que mon aimée Rose soit la femme la plus heureuse. » … « Rose, je passerai ma vie avec une femme que je n'aime pas, pour voir ton sourire chaque jour. » Sept ans de vie commune, et tout n'était qu'un rêve. Le jour de notre septième anniversaire, je suis montée dans la cabine de téléphérique que j'avais réservée depuis longtemps. Et à l'aube, à plus de mille mètres d'altitude, j'ai ouvert la porte de la cabine. J'ai coupé ma connexion mentale avec Jacques, avalé la potion qui pouvait dissoudre notre lien, et j'ai sauté. Quand Jacques a appris la nouvelle, il a immédiatement mobilisé l'équipe de recherche la plus professionnelle de l'Université Royale pour mener une opération de sauvetage sans précédent afin de retrouver mon corps. Dans la vallée, il a hurlé mon nom encore et encore, comme si ses remords tardifs pouvaient me ramener à la vie.

Fear crept in, I couldn't lose her, and there was no time to rush back to the hospital. But then, without thinking, I leaned forward and pressed my lips to hers. It was more like my wolf, Jean was in control, pulling me closer to her. She opened her lips, allowing me. Instantly, I felt her pain, the burning agony in her leg. It all flooded into me, and after a while, the whole pain was gone. My breath hitched, but I didn’t pull away. There was no pain anymore, just how soft and sweet her lips were. She extracted her hand from mine and pulled me closer by the neck. She didn't want me to stop either. I felt like going further and tearing off her clothes; I wanted her; I've always desired her. If only she wasn't wolf-less, if only she was strong, she would have been perfect for me. She rolled her tongue inside me, making me grip her tighter. I began heaving, I wanted more. ******** Louisa was a wolf-less girl rejected and killed by her fated mate, the ruthless Alpha Scott.
