Pika Pika No Mi

Everyone in the social circle of Kingsford said I was nothing more than a lapdog raised by Charles Mankin. I was always at his beck and call. I did every filthy, ludicrous thing for him under the sun. When he street raced, I rode shotgun. When he drank himself senseless, I made him hangover soup. When he chased girls, I prepared protection for them. Over time, everyone knew: Charles had a dog who never ran, never bit back, no matter how hard he kicked. They all said I must be madly in love with him. Even Charles started to believe it. So he pushed further, more freely, more cruelly, crossing lines as if they never existed. Then came my twenty-fifth birthday. He, in a rare stroke of mercy, said he'd celebrate it with me. But instead, what he got was the news that I was leaving the country. He went berserk, charging through the airport like a man possessed. I peeled his fingers off my wrist one by one, smiling like I'd never been happier. "Don't be stupid," I told him, still smiling. "That was never love." That night, Charles smashed apart his family home like a rabid dog.

Tras completar el entrenamiento de Luna con el que toda loba sueña, fui a ver a mi Alfa, Damien, con una petición. Romper nuestro vínculo de almas. —¿Todo esto solo porque me perdí tu ceremonia para ayudar a la pareja de mi difunto hermano, Lilith, con los renegados en su territorio? Una sonrisa burlona se dibujó en sus labios, y su voz sonó áspera y grave. Asentí en silencio. —Le di mi palabra a mi hermano antes de que muriera. Juré que protegería a Lilith. ¡No puedo romper esa promesa! ¿Por qué no lo entiendes? —susurró, suspirando con pesadez—. ¡Deja ya de ser tan infantil! ¿Por qué no puedes ser razonable, como lo es Lilith? Lo aparté con una calma glacial. Diez años. Durante los diez años que siguieron a la confirmación de nuestro vínculo, lo dejé todo. Cada afición, cada sueño… todo por aprender a ser su Luna. Todos en la manada creían que sin él era una inútil. Que ni siquiera podría sobrevivir sin su protección. Pero esta vez, ya no pude más. Él no sabía que ya había contactado con las manadas neutrales de otra tierra. Iba a un lugar donde su esencia de Alfa jamás podría alcanzarme.

Mi hermana adoptiva, Clara, me tendió una trampa. Afirmó que la obligué a beber sangre de bestia. El terror, según ella, le provocó un ataque al corazón. Debido a eso, mis tres amados hermanos vampiros me encerraron. Me atraparon en el observatorio, en la torre más alta, vinculada por una maldición de sangre. Golpeé la puerta, impotente, explicando y suplicándoles que me dejaran salir. Damien, mi hermano mayor y jefe de nuestra familia, me atravesó con una mirada de fría decepción. Luego, me dio la espalda. —Tu egoísmo tiene un límite, Lilith. Clara es una humana frágil. ¡Tiene una afección cardíaca! ¿La obligaste a tragar esa inmundicia? ¿Intentabas matarla? No quiero volver a ver este lado cruel de ti. Quédate aquí y piensa en lo que has hecho. Ethan, la estrella de rock, y Julian, el arquitecto gótico, ni siquiera pudieron mirarme. Sus voces estaban tensas por la ira y el agotamiento. —¡Soportamos tus berrinches, pero no para que lastimaras a nuestra familia! Nos has fallado, Lilith. Quédate ahí dentro y comprende lo que hiciste mal. Luego, levantaron con cuidado a la "inconsciente" Clara y desaparecieron por el pasillo. Pero ellos no lo sabían. El observatorio solo debía abrirse por la noche, pero algo falló. Cuando llegó la mañana, la cúpula no se cerró. La luz del sol, mortal para nosotros, entró directamente. Mi poder se evaporó. Mis gritos se convirtieron en silencio. Me convertí en cenizas. Tres días después, mis hermanos regresaron con una Clara "recuperada". Solo entonces se acordaron de mí. No tenían idea de que el sol ya me había ejecutado.

They say Don Julian Marconi would burn the world for one tear of mine. Five years ago, at the Met Gala, he spent millions to hang emeralds around my neck and swore I was his Madonna. Five years later, beneath the velvet boxes of our anniversary, I found a lace strap soaked in sin—and a fresh, crimson smear on his collar that told me exactly whose bed he’d left. I smiled. I asked him to sign a blank sheet of paper. And that meant he was agreeing to whatever I wanted. He called it love. I called it the death warrant for his empire. In fifteen days, I finalized our divorce papers. I boarded the Stella d’Oro as Serena Cole and burned Celeste Marconi to ash on the deck. Then I vanished with his fortune, his power and the one secret that would destroy him. I was the saint he worshipped. Now I am the ghost who haunts him. No groveling. No forgiveness. No second chance. Just ashes.

Mi compañero, Carter, me envió a una prisión de hombres lobo durante cuatro años. El día que me liberaron, llegó de la mano de su amante loba embarazada. —Esto es lo que tus padres me deben. A partir de hoy, cuidarás de Amelia. Asentí obedientemente. Ella me obligó a recoger rosas con mis propias manos. Me hizo plantar cien macetas bajo el sol abrasador. Me obligó a frotar mi piel alérgica y ulcerada con alcohol. Y yo hice todo lo que me pidió. Hasta el día en que me trajeron de vuelta a mi antiguo hogar. La casa había desaparecido. En su lugar, se extendía un jardín de rosas interminable. Y mi única hermana… se había convertido en nada más que una caja de cenizas. Ese fue el momento en que lo comprendí. No sobreviví para expiar mis pecados. Sobreviví para vengarme.
