—Vete —ordené, orgullosa de que mi voz no sonara ni la mitad de temblorosa de lo que me sentía por dentro. —¿Eso es lo que realmente quieres, Keera? —preguntó en un susurro. Antes de que pudiera responder, tomó mi mano y la levantó lentamente, llevando mis dedos hasta su nariz. Los mismos dedos que habían estado dentro de mí hacía apenas unos minutos. Mi corazón golpeó con fuerza en mi pecho. No apartó los ojos de los míos mientras inhalaba el aroma de mi deseo, y luego llevó mis dedos a su boca, pasando su lengua por ellos y lamiéndolos con lentitud hasta dejarlos limpios. ⸻ Keera No deberían existir. Era imposible. Eran errores de la naturaleza. Eso fue lo primero que pensé de los hombres lobo. Y durante años creí tener razón, porque todos los que conocí no hicieron más que herirme. Especialmente él. Me sentí atraída hacia él desde el primer momento en que lo vi. Antes de darme cuenta de que me odiaba. No quería admitirlo, pero él fue quien reforzó mi odio hacia los hombres lobo. No tenía ninguna obligación de ayudarlos. Pero lo hice. Y vi cómo mi vida se desmoronaba. Crucé cada límite que alguna vez me impuse al involucrarme con él, hasta descubrir que era mi pareja destinada. ⸻ Grayson La odiaba antes incluso de conocerla en persona. Nuestra relación era prohibida. Los hombres lobo no podían emparejarse con humanos. Ni siquiera creía que fuera una posibilidad. Pero eso fue antes de ella. Descubrí que era mi alma gemela. Y en ese momento supe que no podía dejarla ir. No me importaba renunciar al título de Alfa si eso significaba estar con ella. Porque, le gustara o no, ella sentía lo mismo por mí.
