Saiki K.: Reawakened

Alpha Kaelan, my fated mate, despised me. He blamed me for the death of his childhood sweetheart, Lila. He hated our fated bond. He hated my power. He hated that the Elders forced him to mark me. He hated that our mating drove Lila to her death. So for twenty years, we were trapped in a cage of hatred, each wishing the other would drop dead. Until the day I was poisoned and dying. The moment I felt the poison, I knew. Kaelan did this. My wolf howled, fighting to keep me alive until he came home. I killed him with a silver dagger. But then, as he lay dying, I heard him whisper to his second-in-command. "Don't you dare kill her. The antidote I got from the witch… give it to Selene. And she can never know it was from me..." "And... you have to find out... who's been poisoning her all this time." After he died, a searing pain tore through my chest. Tears streamed down my face. I refused the antidote. I wanted this whole mistake to end. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back. Back before he marked me. I took a deal with the Supernatural Council and left the continent behind. This time, I rejected our bond. I would give him and his precious Lila the happy ending they deserved.

J'étais une gamine des bas-fonds quand je suis tombée amoureuse de Damon Vitale, le Parrain le plus redouté de Paris. Pendant cinq ans, j'ai été à lui. J'ai encaissé neuf balles pour lui. Il embrassait mes cicatrices pendant que je me vidais de mon sang pour lui. Il me serrait contre lui. Il passait le collier de la reine autour de mon cou. Puis, une fois remise, il me baisait jusqu'à me faire perdre toute notion de moi-même, avec une passion qui donnait l'illusion de l'éternité. Je croyais que nous passerions nos vies ensemble. Je pensais qu'il m'épouserait. Mais lors de notre neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième nuit ensemble, il m'a annoncé qu'il était fiancé. À Bianca, une princesse de la mafia issue d'une famille rivale. J'ai avalé mes larmes. Il s'est contenté de m'attraper par le menton, de souffler la fumée à mon visage et de rire. « Tu n'as quand même pas cru que tu pourrais m'épouser, n'est-ce pas, Nora ? Soyons clairs. On baise. C'est tout. Tu n'es pas une partenaire. Tu es une œuvre d'art que je collectionne. Une chatte qui m'appartient. » Une chatte. C'est tout ce qu'il a jamais voulu que je sois. Alors j'ai attrapé un téléphone jetable. « J'accepte ton offre. Trois jours. Sors-moi de Paris. »

After the Great War between humans and the Shifter races, an accord was struck, decreeing that the world would be ruled by a hybrid of the two races. The most powerful human family, a corporate dynasty, was granted the right to the first union with a Shifter leader. Whoever bore the first hybrid child would become the next ruler of the Alliance. In my past life, I married the werewolf Alpha, Jacob, and quickly bore him a wolf-human hybrid. When our son became the ruler of the Alliance, the werewolf clan’s power and influence soared. But my sister, Isabella, had always favored the beautiful elves. Her husband's philandering left her barren and riddled with disease after several miscarriages. She envied everything I had. In her rage, she orchestrated the car crash that killed my son and me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the Alliance’s choosing ceremony. Isabella had already mated with Jacob, brazenly showing off the mark on her neck. I knew. She was back, too. What she didn't know was that Jacob was a madman, obsessed with his bloodline above all else. Without a second thought, I let her have him. I walked toward the one they all feared—the notoriously brutal and bloodthirsty Dragon Lord, the Dragon King, Damien Wyatt.

My family is human. We were gifted a long life by the Thorne clan, something close to immortality. For generations, we’ve been their most loyal guardians. And I fell in love with Cedric, the vampire lord I was sworn to protect. For a hundred years, I was his secret. His sin. His only bedmate. I was his shield against dark magic. The sworn protector of his vast clan. I thought I’d earn the mark of an eternal bond. I was even ready for him to turn me. After all, on every blood moon, he would claim my body. Then, at the peak of an agonizing pleasure, he’d sink his fangs into my neck and drink my blood. He’d press his cold lips to my skin and whisper that I was his one and only. That no other blood, no other body, could make him lose control like this. But this time, the moment he was finished with me, he announced his eternal bond with Elsie, the pureblood princess of the Valerius clan. He smirked at the shock on my face. "You're just a human, gifted a long life by my ancestors. My bed warmer. You didn't actually think you could be my mate, did you?" In that moment, I understood. I was just a renewable blood bag. A tool with a purpose. For an alliance, for her, he sacrificed me. He cast me into the abyss and let the darkness swallow me whole. He thought the Guardian's Pact would chain me to him for eternity. But he forgot one thing. Every pact has a loophole. So I destroyed everything he ever gave me. Then, with my family's help, I vanished. But when the Lord of Eternal Night couldn't find his favorite toy… he went mad.

Esperé ocho años. El día en que debía convertirme en Luna, mi pareja del destino, el Alfa Cayden, me rechazó frente a toda la manada. Porque era estéril. Rompió nuestro vínculo de pareja y besó a mi asistente Omega, Lilith. Resulta que ya se habían unido. La maldita estaba embarazada de él. Me enfureció. Estaba lista para dejarlo todo atrás, pero su madre me arrojó a una celda de plata. Él planeaba despojarme de mi loba y de mi don, para entregarle mis poderes a su nueva Luna, Lilith. Destrozada, huí, solo para ser atacada por lobos errantes y dada por muerta en un charco de mi propia sangre. Cuando desperté de nuevo, me encontraba en un lugar desconocido. Mi memoria había sido borrada. El Alfa Rhys de la Manada Shadowcrest estaba a mi lado, prometiendo cuidarme. Y yo, la loba estéril, estaba embarazada… Pero no puedo recordar quién es el padre de mi hijo.

As I was about to leave The Crimson Curtain, my brother Corvus's elite vampire club, a woman who claimed to be the manager stopped me. "Ma'am, you just helped yourself to a priceless vial of Elder's Blood. You have to pay." I looked at the unfamiliar face, sensing the weak blood of a lesser vampire. She must be a fledgling, I thought, new to the club and unaware of who I was. "Your boss approved it," I said flatly. "Take it up with him." But the woman just sneered at me. "Plenty of women try to get close to our boss. If every one of you took what you wanted, how would we stay in business?" She shoved a copy of the club rules at me. Anyone who takes Elder's Blood without permission pays with three times the amount in heart's blood. Or they don't leave. Vampire guards started to close in, some even drawing silver blades, ready to take me down. I laughed, a cold, sharp sound. I couldn't believe Corvus's club had such an insane rule. "I am the Lord of House Volkov. Corvus's own sister. If he needs compensation, he can come to me himself." But her mockery only sharpened. "You look like some low-born stray. Claiming ties to a noble house? Pathetic. Hand over the heart's blood. Now." My patience snapped. I sent a message to the family elders through our bloodline. "Tell Corvus to either make this woman disappear forever, or I'm taking back ownership of this club. All of it."

Quedé embarazada de Alessio Moretti, el mejor amigo de mi hermano y el Don más joven y atractivo de Nueva York. Justo entonces regresó Bianca, su antigua amante… la misma que lo había dejado sin decir una sola palabra. Pensé que me dejaría por ella, pero él solo sonrió con esa calma arrogante. —Se fue sin dar explicaciones. No hay vuelta atrás. Mi hermano, Gianni Ricci, fue aún más frío: —Ella ya no es una Ricci. Mi única hermana eres tú. Les creí. Durante tres años, me dieron un cariño y una calidez que jamás había conocido. Pero todo se vino abajo cuando un video de mi padre adoptivo, borracho y golpeándome, se volvió viral. El mundo entero se burló de la “intocable princesa Ricci” … la misma que alguna vez fue tratada peor que una mendiga. Me rompí por dentro y corrí a buscar a las dos únicas personas en las que confiaba… pero me detuve en seco frente a la puerta de su despacho al escuchar la voz empalagosa de Bianca. —Gianni, Alessio… ¿filtrar ese video? ¿No fue demasiado cruel? Marcella está embarazada… La respuesta de mi hermano llegó al instante: —Justamente de eso se trataba. El embarazo debería ablandarla… pero ha estado paseándose como si fuera la dueña de todo, manteniéndote a ti al margen. Alessio soltó una risa suave: —No te preocupes por Marcella. No puede hacernos nada… y es demasiado blanda como para hacerle daño a nuestro hijo. Las lágrimas comenzaron a caer sin control y un dolor agudo me atravesó el pecho de golpe. "Tiene razón… este bebé es mi tesoro. Jamás le haría daño", pensé. Pero tú, Alessio… no voy a dejar que me controles. Me di la vuelta, sintiéndome entumecida, compré un vuelo y tomé una decisión. "Voy a desaparecer… me llevaré a mi bebé y saldré de su mundo para siempre", pensé.
