My sister and I have a joint wedding. My husband is a firefighting captain, and hers is a policeman. They grew up together and purchased apartments on the same floor to continue being neighbors.

I used to be the most promising composer of my generation. But while I was working on my latest piece, my husband Charles Lambert's childhood friend destroyed everything I had. She slashed my face, stole my compositions, and set fire to my house—leaving me to burn alive alongside the kitten I'd just adopted. Then, as if my death were just a spark for her success, she posted my compositions online, claiming I'd plagiarized her. And people believed her. Everyone did. Strangers on the internet sneered and spat my name, and my own husband, Charles, chose to believe her over me. Even the International Musical Society rescinded my award and handed it to her without a second thought. My students, who once followed me loyally, were now fawning over her. I became the laughingstock of the entire internet—mocked, discredited, erased. It wasn't until a week later, when someone stumbled upon the charred remains of my lakeside studio, that they found what was left of me.

« Si tu vexes l'Alpha Charles, Inès peut encore plaider pour toi. Mais si tu agaces Inès, il ne restera même pas tes cendres. » C'est une phrase très répandue dans les cercles aristocratiques des loups-garous. Je suis Inès. À cause d'un simple jeu, j'ai décidé de rompre le pacte du couple avec Charles. Dans le jeu, complètement ivre, il a dit : « J'adore poser ma tête sur le ventre d'une femme enceinte pour écouter les battements du cœur du bébé. » Un silence de mort a envahi la salle. Tous les regards des loups-garous se sont tournés vers moi. Il n'y avait pas de surprise dans ces regards, seulement de la pitié pour moi, la Luna légitime, et de la panique face à un secret révélé. J'ai compris instantanément : ils savaient tous que Charles avait un enfant avec une autre femme, mais ils l'avaient tous aidé à me le cacher. Tout simplement parce qu'ils savaient que j'étais la raison de vivre de Charles. Si j'apprenais la vérité, je partirais. Et Charles, il deviendrait fou. Je devais admettre qu'ils me connaissaient vraiment bien. Après avoir découvert la vérité, j'ai décidé de faire trois choses. Premièrement, j'allais jeter dans un fourneau l'alliance que Charles avait conçue pour moi. Deuxièmement, j'allais enregistrer sur une clé USB la vidéo dans laquelle Lily m'avait provoquée avec son enfant. Troisièmement, j'allais déposer un dossier auprès du Département des Affaires des Loups-Garous pour devenir chercheuse sur l'île glacée, isolée du monde. Le jour où j'ai quitté la tribu était justement le jour de notre septième anniversaire de mariage. Et moi, je disparaîtrais de sa vie comme un filet de fumée.
