The year was 1934; I was twenty-two years old. I never thought of myself as anything special. I was barely making it through the Great Depression. There were many days I lived off of scraps. I was the king of odd jobs, just enough to get by. I had done it all, from being a field hand to a miner. It all changed one night when I stumbled across a traveling circus, Cirque du Lune. I had never seen such a sight. Instead of the usual menagerie, this circus was overrun with wolves. There was one performer who caught my eye; it was as if an angel had descended from heaven on a silk ribbon.

Meu marido, o Sr. Damien, me deu as pérolas de sua falecida esposa no meu aniversário e eu as usei no jantar. Meu enteado Leo, enfurecido, me jogou vinho tinto. Virei a piada da festa. — Vadia! — Ele falou com os dentes cerrados. — Acha que usar as joias da minha mãe te faz virar ela? Ele me encarou, seus olhos frios como gelo. E então ele gritou: — Saia da minha casa. Só que a mãe dele morreu quando ele ainda era um bebê. Eu que o criei. Alguém falou mal de mim pra ele. Disseram que eu matei a mãe dele. Agora ele acha que sou uma golpista que enganou o meu marido? Ele nunca me enxergou. Ele só enxergava o fantasma da Krista. Meu coração não partiu. Ele despedaçou. Eles não me amavam. Nunca se importaram. Então eu fui embora. Então por que, depois que finalmente fui embora, eles voltaram rastejando, implorando para eu voltar?

I’m the best art forger and intel specialist in Chicago. And I fell for the man who owned it all, Don Vincenzo Russo. For ten years, I was his secret, his weapon, and his woman. I built his empire from the shadows. I thought I’d get a ring. After all, every night he was in this city, he was buried inside me, taking his pleasure. He’d whisper that I was his, that no one else felt this good. But this time, after he was finished with me, he announced he was marrying the Russian Bratva princess, Katerina Petrov. That’s when I knew. I wasn’t his woman. I was just a body. For an alliance, for her, he sacrificed me. He left me to die. So I destroyed every piece of the life he gave me. I made one call to my father in Italy. And then, I vanished. But when the Don who owned Chicago couldn't find his favorite toy… he went insane.

For ten years, I bled for my fated mate, Damian. I forged him into an Alpha. I built his pack from nothing. But on the eve of our Blood Moon ceremony, he chose her. He made his first love, Isla—the one who abandoned him—the High Priestess. Not me. He thought I was just some rogue with a knack for magic. He thought he could drain my power, cast me aside, and claim Isla as his true mate. But he forgot who I am. I brokered the treaties. I negotiated the trades. I built the wards that kept them all alive. He and his pack hailed Isla as their savior. They groveled at her feet. They tried to get rid of me. Their plan? Force me to escort a demon to the Abyss of Exile. But he never knew my secret. I'm no rogue. I am the youngest daughter of the Alpha King. I am royalty. So I gave them what they wanted. I walked away. They only started to panic when my wards shattered and their lands were overrun.

En el taller privado de joyería de la familia Gallo. El anillo de bodas que había esperado durante seis meses estaba en el dedo de otra mujer. En la mano de Gia.

I can send them to you if you want.” “I’m his one true love. If you know what’s good for you, you’ll step down and give me your place as his wife.” I didn’t argue with her.Instead, I generously gave her my wedding ring.
