Marcus Blackwood

My mate, Jasper Morrison, says coldly, "Elena, I'm breaking our mate bond." We stand on the open ground at the edge of the Silvermoon pack's territory. The full moon hangs high overhead, and this should be the sweetest moment for fated mates. We've loved each other for ten years. And now, he's about to break the bond Moon Goddess has given us. "Why?" I ask in a shaky voice. "You're an orphaned wolf," he says, turning his face away. "You don't have the bloodline to match me. The pack Elders have already approved this." A tearing pain rips through my chest. Having the mate bond stripped from me feels like my soul is being torn apart. I collapse to my knees, gasping for air. "Serena's father is one of the strongest Alphas in the North," Jasper says, looking down at me without a trace of guilt. "She'll help me rise as the strongest Beta in the Silvermoon pack's history." "You said…" I clench my teeth, fighting the pain. "You said you'd spend your life with me." "I was young and foolish," Jasper replies, already turning away. "The bonding ceremony is in three days. I suggest you don't cause trouble." Moonlight glints off his retreating form. I watch him walk away, my fingers clutching the moonstone bracelet my mother left me. It's my only keepsake. A message from an unknown number appears. "Elena, this is Damon, your older brother. I've been looking for you for 20 years." "I've attached a black card with unlimited credit. The resources of the entire Blackwood pack are at your disposal. No matter what you're facing, I've got you." I stare at the screen. The Blackwood pack? The top wolf pack in North Anthica? Another message soon pops up. "I'll come get you in three days. Wait for me." My finger hovers over the delete button. It has to be a scam. I'm just an orphaned wolf. How could I possibly have a brother from the Blackwood pack? Just then, a voice message from Jasper arrives. "Elena, for old times' sake, I'll arrange a place for you in one of the pack's spare houses when the ceremony ends. You can stay as part of the pack. I'll take care of you." He wants me to watch him bond with another she-wolf and thank him for keeping me in the pack. I delete Jasper's contact, then rename the unknown number in my phone to "Damon". My fingers tremble as I type a single word. "Okay."

Ma meilleure amie, Ada, avait pitié de mes huit années de crush pour Théo. Alors, lorsque nos loups se sont reconnus comme compagnons, Ada m'a simplement donné une herbe qui amplifie les phéromones et m'a envoyée dans le lit de Théo. Enivré par mon odeur, Théo m'a prise comme un fou. Quand je me suis réveillée, il a accepté froidement d'organiser la cérémonie de marquage. Mais peu après, Théo s'est mis à visiter souvent les meutes européennes et est resté absent pendant cinq ans. J'ai élevé seule notre fils, Alex, en l'attendant dans la meute. Mais il n'est jamais rentré, se contentant de me dire qu'il n'aimait pas les louveteaux. Jusqu'au jour de l'anniversaire d'Alex. J'ai vu une vidéo dans laquelle quelqu'un demandait à Théo : « Quel a été ton moment le plus heureux ? » Il a répondu avec désinvolture : « La semaine dernière, en Europe. Après avoir endormi Marcus, j'ai emmené Claire sur la table de la salle à manger. » Au milieu des sifflements et des rires, j'ai senti mes mains et mes pieds devenir glacés. Claire, c'était son ex-petite amie. Marcus, c'était le fils de Claire. On disait qu'il vivait avec eux depuis cinq ans, en Europe. Tout était donc vrai. Le cœur brisé, j'ai soumis une demande de rupture de lien d'âme au Conseil des Alphas, et j'ai quitté l'Amérique du Nord avec mon fils, effaçant notre enregistrement de meute.
