Para nuestro séptimo aniversario, mi compañero, el Alfa Ethan, nos envió a mi cachorra y a mí al Altar de la Diosa de la Luna. Me dijo que era una sorpresa: para cumplirle a nuestra cachorra su sueño de ver una lluvia de meteoritos desde el pico más alto del territorio. Pero Ethan nunca llegó. Las runas protectoras a mis pies chisporrotearon y luego se apagaron. El suelo bajo nuestros pies comenzó a desmoronarse. Mi cachorra gritó, su pequeño cuerpo iba deslizándose hacia el abismo. Me abalancé, agarrándole la mano justo antes de que cayera por el borde. Grité su nombre a través de nuestro enlace mental. Noventa y nueve veces, se negó a responder. En mi centésimo grito, el enlace no solo se abrió, sino que se rompió por completo. No fue su voz la que respondió. Fueron sus sentidos, inundando los míos. Lo vi todo. A él. A otra loba. Y a él, enterrado en lo más profundo de ella. —Sabía que me amabas, Ethan —ronroneó su voz empalagosa—. Incluso sacrificaste a Marcus, solo para salvar a nuestro Leo de la enfermedad del alma. Haría lo que fuera por ti. La voz de Ethan era de terciopelo y hielo. —Para. Si Sera no me hubiera traicionado, nunca habrías tenido la oportunidad de gestar a mi heredero. Una vez que me deshaga de su otra cachorra, la bastarda de Julian, podremos volver a ser perfectos. Mi mundo se hizo añicos. Mi cachorro... Renegados. Siempre creí que los renegados me lo habían robado. Pero fue su propio padre. Lo sacrificó por una mentira. Con mis últimas fuerzas, llamé a Julian. —Romperé mi vínculo con Ethan —gruñí en el nuevo enlace—. Hazme tu Luna. A cambio, te ayudaré a quemar su manada hasta los cimientos.
