Samantha had been with her husband Alex for 12 long years, dutifully raising his child from a previous relationship. Yet as the years dragged on, the deep resentment she felt could no longer be ignored. Alex took her endless sacrifices for granted, never expressing an ounce of appreciation for all she did to keep their family afloat. His domineering mother only fanned the flames of drama, inserting herself into every aspect of their lives. And their once passionate marriage had become a sexless, loveless obligation. Samantha's only solace was her job at the local hardware store, a seeming world away from the suffocating doldrums of her home life. It was there that she met Jack, her new boss - a charismatic man whose radiant charm and flirtations slowly but surely began chipping away at Samantha's resolve. At first, she dismissed the growing attraction as a harmless crush. But as the weeks ticked by, the chemistry between them became undeniable, an all-consuming force that made her feel truly alive for the first time in years. One fateful night, passion overcame reason, and Samantha surrendered to her desires in Jack's arms. The guilt was searing, but it paled in comparison to the euphoria of being wanted, needed, desired again. Thus began a torrid affair, one built on lies and deception as they stole away for clandestine rendezvous. Samantha was playing with fire, but she couldn't bring herself to stop.

Il y avait une pleine lune la nuit où je suis né. Ma mère Amanda était la Luna de la meute de la Lune d'Argent. Et, Elle était enceinte de jumeaux cette fois-ci. Les jumeaux sont rares dans le monde des loups-garous, simplement parce que les loups-garous ont des bébés plus grands, donc il est difficile pour enceinte des jumeaux. J'ai entendu toutes les histoires sur la façon dont mon père a choyé ma mère pendant toute sa grossesse. Comment il lui massait les pieds chaque nuit et veillait à ce qu'elle ne manque de rien. C’était un accouchement difficile pour ma mère. Elle a eu du mal tandis que la sage-femme l'encourageait à pousser pour faire sortir mon frère et moi. On m'a dit que mon père faisait les cent pas devant la maison de la meute comme un fou dans un asile. Mon frère est né en premier. Différents membres de la meute ont des histoires différentes à propos de sa naissance. Certains prétendent qu'il n'a jamais pris une respiration et est né mort. D'autres membres jurent qu'il était vivant à la naissance puis est mort. Pour moi, le fait qu'il soit mort est tout ce qui compte. À partir de ce moment, on m'a tenu pour responsable de sa mort. J'étais le monstre. J'étais le meurtrier.
