But this, isn't going to end well," I was saying to myself while lying down with closed eyes and recurring thoughts, starring at the bluest skies and the brightest stars.

Lors de la cérémonie de mes dix-huit ans, le vieil Alpha m'a demandé de choisir l'un de ses deux fils comme compagnon. Celui que je choisirais hériterait du statut d'Alpha à l'avenir. Sans hésiter, j'ai choisi son fils aîné, Cassien. Tout le monde dans la salle de banquet ont eu l'air stupéfaits. Après tout, tous de la tribu de Lune Argentée savaient que moi, la fille de la famille Gabriel, j'étais déjà follement amoureuse de Kévin, le plus jeune fils de l'Alpha. Je lui avais déclaré mes sentiments à plusieurs reprises lors de bals, et j'avais même reçu un coup de dague en argent d'un chasseur pour le protéger. Et Cassien était connu comme le loup-garou le plus cruel et froide, et tout le monde l'évitait. Ce qu'ils ignoraient, c'est que dans ma vie précédente, j'étais devenue la compagne de Kévin. Mais le jour même de notre mariage, il était allé coucher avec ma sœur en secret. Ma mère, furieuse, avait marié ma sœur à un bêta de la tribu de Loups Noirs voisine. Ainsi, Kévin nourrissait d'une haine farouche à mon égard. Il avait ramené cent louves séduisantes et magnifiques d'autres tribus, toutes avec les mêmes yeux bleus que ma sœur. Quand il avait appris que j'étais enceinte, il avait même couché avec elles devant moi. Chaque jour était une agonie. Finalement, le jour où j'accouchais, il m'avait enfermée dans le sous-sol, interdisant à quiconque de s'approcher. Mon bébé était mort étouffé dans mon ventre, et j'étais décédée avec rancune. Peut-être que la Déesse de la Lune a eu pitié de moi et m'a offert une seconde chance : je suis revenue à la vie. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de renoncer à lui pour le laisser vivre son amour. Mais contre toute attente, Kévin a commencé à regretter.
