Our Pack followed an ancient law: if a she-wolf wasn't bonded by the age of 23, the Pack had the right to assign her a mate, regardless of her will. Felix is my childhood sweetheart and fated mate, the Alpha of the Moonclaw Pack. But he postponed our bonding ceremony and is holding a mating ceremony with an Omega first, all because of that law. Felix pitied Omega, Valentina, who was already 22, afraid she would be matched with a bad mate. But he seemed to forget that after waiting for him for 5 years, I would turn 23 next month. My mother and I begged him to reconsider our mating ceremony only to be met with Felix's dilemma attitude: "You've waited this many years, what's a little longer?" "Besides me, who else would choose Valentina? Clara, you still have parents, but Valentina is poor, she only has me." "Please wait, after the mate bond ceremony with Valentina, I'll break it and then bond with you." Later, in order to prevent me from bonding with a slave, my mother hurriedly chose a mate for me.

私はパソコン画面に映るあるメールをじっと見つめ、キーボードを打つその手を硬直させていた。 明日は私の会社で重要商品の発表会が行われる。しかし、この時気づいたのだ――私が3年もの歳月をかけて編みだした努力の結晶である計算式の特許申請人がマッシュの秘書であるソフィの名前になっている。 そしてマッシュのオフィスに駆けこんで彼にどういうことなのか説明を求めた。 ソフィは彼のデスクの上に両足を組んで、まるで自分は全く悪くないという顔をしていた。そしてうっかり名前を書き間違えたのだと言った。 「ただの書類のミスだろう」マッシュが椅子から立ち上がって、ソフィを守るように前に立ちはだかった。「特許は結局会社のものだろう。何か問題があるのか？」 その言葉に私は耳を疑った。「マッシュ、これは私の研究の成果なのよ！」 「エマ、君はもう35歳だろう」彼は眉をしかめた。「どうしてたった23歳の若いインターンにそんなにむきになるんだ？」 彼はくるりとソフィのほうへ体の向きを変えた。「明日から、君が新しい技術部のチーフだ。エマは……、少し休んだほうがいいだろう」 私はその場に呆然と立っていた。10年という結婚生活、そして5年を費やして会社を共同経営してきた。その努力をこのように軽くあしらわれてしまったのだ。 30分後、ソフィがSNSを更新した。写真に映る彼女はマッシュの膝の上に座り、二人でシャンパンのグラスを持って乾杯していた。 「ありがとう世界一の最高のボス！あなたの可愛い子猫になるわ」 その下にはマッシュのコメントで――三つのハートマークが並んでいる。 その瞬間、私はパソコンを閉じ、携帯を手に取った。 「こんにちは、サンダハレ新規投資家のアレク社長ですか？やっぱり考えを変えました。私もそちらの会社で働かせていただきたいです」私はそこで少し考えた。「そうだ、あのまだ公にしていない計算式のアップグレード版なんですけど、私の手元に完全な技術案があります。いくらで買い取っていただけますか」 それから、私は八桁の数字が書かれている小切手を手にリベーノ国へと向かった。マッシュは狂ったように私の行方を探すことになるのだ。
