Eu era apenas uma garota das favelas que se apaixonou por Damon Vitale, o Chefão mais temido de Nova York. Por cinco anos, eu dediquei minha vida a ele e cheguei a levar nove tiros para protegê-lo. Ele beijava minhas cicatrizes enquanto eu sangrava, me segurava apertado e me fazia pensar que eu era a sua verdadeira rainha. Então, quando eu me recuperava, ele me fodia com uma paixão tão intensa que chegava a perder os sentidos. Eu achava que ficaríamos juntos. Eu achava que iríamos nos casar. Mas, na nossa 999ª noite, ele me disse que estava noivo. Sua noiva era a princesinha da família rival, Bianca. Eu queria chorar e ele apenas segurou meu queixo, soprou fumaça na minha cara e disse, em meio a risos: — Você achou mesmo que ia se casar comigo, Nora? Vou deixar isso bem claro. A gente transa. Só isso. Você não é minha parceira. É tipo uma obra de arte que eu coleciono ou uma pet da qual sou dono. Uma pet. Era só isso que ele queria de mim. Em vez disso, fiz uma ligação de um telefone criptografado. [Eu aceito sua oferta. Três dias. Me tire de Nova York.]

Alpha Fabian's first reaction to learning I was his fated mate? Rejection. But drunk at the bonfire festival, he couldn't fight the pull of fate. He marked me. Marking a rejected mate came with a price. His power weakened. Forced into a bond with me, he despised me. For two years, I bled for him. I did 100 impossible things, just hoping for a single glance. I snuck into forbidden lands for rare herbs. I negotiated with enemy packs. I fought on the front lines for him in pack wars, always coming back covered in scars. But the one he truly loved was my adopted sister, Gloria. Even my own parents, the pack's Beta, hated me. I was their lost daughter, raised by rogues for fifteen years. But they only had eyes for their perfect, obedient adopted girl. Then, on my 100th task, I nearly died in the Valley of Shadows. When I woke up, I had amnesia. I was done chasing a cold mate and a family's love I'd never have. And when I finally walked away, Fabian discovered the truth. It was never me who couldn't live without him. It was always him.

Ma sœur, Lily, a été mise en pièces par des sauvages. J'ai sangloté, suppliant mon compagnon de destin, l'Alpha Ethan, de trouver ses meurtriers. Il ne l'a jamais fait. Un an plus tard, le jour de l'anniversaire de sa mort. Je suis allée trouver Ethan, prête à lui annoncer que j'étais enceinte. Au lieu de cela, je l'ai trouvé tenant une autre Oméga, Bella, dans ses bras. « Ne t'inquiète pas. » lui a-t-il dit. « Personne ne saura que tu as fait tomber le bouclier mental de la meute et que tu as fait tuer Lily. Une fois que Harper aura renoncé à son titre de Luna lors de la cérémonie, tu seras ma seule et unique. » Mon cœur s'est brisé. C'était donc ça. Il ne m'avait jamais marquée, jamais rejetée... il voulait que je me retire par moi-même. Il protégeait la meurtrière de ma sœur. Il voulait faire d'elle Luna. J'ai fait irruption en criant, mais Bella a soudain craché du sang et s'est effondrée. Empoisonnement à l'aconit, a-t-elle prétendu. « Elle a été empoisonnée en me sauvant ! Donne-moi le sang de ton cœur ! C'est la seule chose qui puisse la sauver ! » Ethan m'a regardée avec plus de dégoût que si j'étais une ordure. « Je suis enceinte ! Ça va tuer le bébé ! » Je l'ai supplié. Mais son Commandement Alpha a été donné. Mon corps ne m'appartenait plus. Je n'ai pu que regarder l'épaisse aiguille percer ma poitrine, en plein cœur. Du sang doré s'est écoulé. Une douleur aiguë et déchirante m'a déchiré l'estomac Il a tué mon bébé. Ma louve s'est brisée en moi. J'ai fermé les yeux, cherchant une connexion interdite dans le monde des loups-garous. « Roi Lycan Rogan. Demain, j'ai besoin que tu m'aides à détruire tout ce qui fait partie de la Meute de Bois Noir, y compris l'Alpha Ethan. »

My best friend, Maya, flew in from Miami for my bachelorette week. My last days of freedom. She insisted on a girls' night in to celebrate, ordering all my favorite takeout. She asked me to hold her mobile phone and wait.Then her phone lit up. A message from some guy. A shirtless pic. Text: I need you tonight. Another photo buzzed through. Sex toys. Bondage gear straight out of a movie. My face burned. My heart hammered against my ribs. I’d just stumbled into her secret life. But the next image made my blood run cold. A close-up of the man's chest. A jagged scar I knew better than my own reflection. It belonged to my fiancé, Luciano Carbone.
