La neuvième fois pour la cérémonie de pacte que j'avais fixé avec le Roi Alpha Gabriel Zéphirin est enfin arrivée. Pourtant, je n'ai toujours pas réussi à devenir sa Luna. Ce n'était pas lui qui avait manqué à sa parole. C'était moi… qui n'étais pas encore digne. Les Anciens avaient été très clairs : depuis toujours, chaque Luna reconnue par la Déesse de la Lune devait nourrir trois cent soixante-cinq fleurs de clair de lune avec son propre sang. Mais chaque année, à la veille de la cérémonie, peu importe combien j'étais prudente, il en manquait toujours une. Cette année, j'avais presque épuisé mon sang et, avec énormément d'efforts, j'avais enfin réussi à atteindre le nombre requis. Le cœur rempli de joie, je suis allée chercher Gabriel, voulant lui faire une surprise. À travers l'entrebâillement de la porte du palais royal, son Bêta lui a demandé : « Roi Alpha, Sophie Moreau vous attend déjà depuis huit ans. Vous n'avez toujours pas l'intention de conclure le pacte avec elle ? » Gabriel a secoué la tête. « J'ai promis à Clara Delacourt. Cette année encore, je ne peux pas conclure le pacte. » Le Bêta a hésité un instant. « Et si Sophie réussissait à faire pousser toutes les fleurs de clair de lune ? » Gabriel est resté silencieux un moment, puis il a frappé dans ses mains. Un loup d'ombre est apparu et s'est fondu dans l'obscurité. Peu de temps après, il est revenu, une fleur de clair de lune dans la gueule. Gabriel l'a prise, l'a déchirée en morceaux, puis il a poussé un soupir. « Sophie a beaucoup de sang. Sans parler d'une année… même si elle arrosait ces fleurs pendant dix ans, elle tiendrait le coup. » « Mais Clara est empoisonnée par le venin. Elle n'a plus que moi. Elle veut simplement que je reste auprès d'elle un peu plus longtemps pendant les derniers moments de sa vie. » « Je n'ai pas le cœur de refuser Clara. Alors je ne peux que faire subir cette injustice à Sophie pour l'instant. » Je me suis mordu la lèvre si fort que j'en ai presque senti le sang ! Je n'arrivais tout simplement pas à croire ce que j'avais entendu. Ainsi, les fleurs de clair de lune qui disparaissaient mystérieusement… c'était lui qui les détruisait. Devenir Luna était le rêve que je poursuivais depuis mon enfance. Mais puisqu'il n'avait jamais eu l'intention de conclure le pacte avec moi, alors il était temps pour moi de le quitter.

La noche de bodas, mi esposo Grey y yo estábamos en la habitación cuando Scarlett, la esposa de su hermano, entró tropezando, completamente borracha, y se le fue encima, abrazándolo sin soltarlo. —Keisha, mi esposo murió tan joven, yo de verdad quiero tener un hijo... —lloraba sin consuelo—. Préstamelo solo por una noche, ¿sí? Entre sollozos, me metió un juguete erótico en la mano. —Tú tranquila, mañana te lo regreso —dijo, hecha un mar de lágrimas—. Si de verdad te sientes muy sola, al menos puedes consolarte con esto. Me quedé helada, sin poder procesar lo que estaba pasando. Miré a Grey, que ya la sujetaba por los hombros con cuidado para que no se cayera. —¿Quieres irte a dormir con ella? —le pregunté, sin poder creerlo, con la voz temblorosa. Grey evitó mi mirada, pero al hablar, la voz le salió atropellada. —No pienses tonterías. Scarlett está borracha, no sabe lo que dice. Voy a llevarla a su cuarto para que descanse. Cuando vi que quería llevársela, me planté justo delante de la puerta y le bloqueé el paso. —Grey, hoy es nuestra noche de bodas —insistí—. ¿En serio te vas a ir con ella? Su expresión se ensombreció al instante y me quitó de en medio de un empujón. —Ya eres mi esposa, así que compórtate. No armes una escena por unos celos tontos. Luego se fue, llevándola en brazos con delicadeza, como si fuera un cristal frágil. Quise correr detrás de ellos y detenerlos, pero al ver en sus ojos esa preocupación tan intensa por ella, de pronto todo me quedó claro. El amor de ese hombre ya no era solo para mí. Y si era así, ¿para qué seguir aferrada a un matrimonio donde el cariño ya se había echado a perder? Era hora de soltar... y marcharme de una vez.
