"Look, if I told you I loved you, it would be a lie," I said to him. "But I love you, Anika," he responded, his eyes filled with sadness. "I don't feel the same way. I am content with my life as it is. I don't believe in love, and I value my freedom too much to give it up," I explained to him, hoping he would understand. "Please, just give me a chance. I promise I'll make you happy," he pleaded. "Stop..." I interrupted, feeling exhausted by his continuous pleading. "I'll do whatever you ask, I'll even change-" "Just stop!" I finally yelled, unable to tolerate any more of his words. "Why would you love me when I clearly stated my aversion to relationships?" I screamed in frustration. "I thought we could give our friendship a try, but you ruined it all by falling in love with me. Let's not see each other again," I firmly stated and walked away. *** Anika Rebecca Downs, a 23-year-old woman, appears to have it all.

J'étais Rebecca, la compagne de Gauvain Clerc, Alpha de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier — la plus puissante des meutes du Nord. Gauvain était un génie des affaires qu'on ne rencontre qu'une fois par siècle, son réseau commercial s'étendant sur une douzaine de meutes nordiques et transformant la sienne en un véritable empire réussi. Il m'avait revendiquée pendant quatre ans. Nous étions prêts pour notre cérémonie d'union… jusqu'au retour de Viviane, son amour d'enfance. Le jour où je les ai vus se retrouver, la vérité m'a foudroyée : ce que je croyais être de l'amour n'avait toujours été qu'une illusion, la mienne. Dans ses yeux, il n'y avait qu'elle. Moi, je n'avais été qu'un simple arrangement. Au moins, il ne m'avait jamais marquée. Aucun lien de compagnon, seulement des papiers glacés du Conseil de la Meute. Cela simplifiait les choses. Alors j'ai préparé ma revanche : j'ai déguisé l'Accord de Dissolution du lien de compagnon en simple formulaire administratif d'université. Quand sa plume a effleuré ce document, notre lien s'est rompu d'un seul trait d'encre. Il n'a jamais compris ce qu'il perdait ce jour-là : pas seulement une compagne, mais l'héritier futur de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier. À présent, il me traque à travers les continents. Est-ce de l'amour ? Ou bien à cause du petit ? Ou seulement l'orgueil d'un Alpha, consumé par le fait que j'aie réussi à briser notre lien de compagnon sans qu'il ne réalise qu'il venait d'être joué ?
