Des renégats m'ont enlevée alors que je protégeais mon compagnon, l'Alpha Arthur. Je suis revenue trois ans plus tard, pour trouver Arthur accouplé à ma sœur, Caroline. Mon fils, Léo, ne me reconnaissait pas. Pour lui, Caroline était sa vraie mère. Brisée, j'ai forcé Arthur à bannir Caroline avec le soutien des Anciens, en utilisant mes contributions passées comme levier. Mais elle a été tuée dans une meute isolée et faible, empoisonnée. Après sa mort, Léo me détestait pour cela. Arthur ne m'a jamais fait de reproches. Il m'a dit que tout irait bien. Mais quand notre meute a été attaquée à nouveau, il m'a jetée à nos ennemis sans hésiter, m'a laissée mourir. Alors que j'agonisais, je l'ai entendu grogner en serrant les dents. « Si tu n'étais pas revenue, Caroline aurait été ma compagne pour la vie ! » Mon cœur s'est transformé en cendres. Puis, j'ai ouvert les yeux. J'étais de retour, au jour de mon retour après trois ans d'absence. Cette fois, je regardais Arthur qui protégeait Caroline, et Léo qui s'accrochait à elle. « Je romps notre lien de compagnon. A partir de ce jour, j'en ai fini avec vous tous. »

Meu companheiro destinado, Dexter, tornou-se o Rei Alfa quando seu irmão morreu. Ele herdou a coroa, o poder… e a companheira viúva do irmão, Jenica. Tudo porque eu, uma mestiça, falhei por anos em lhe dar um herdeiro de sangue puro. Ele me disse que precisava marcar Jenica, e a dor quase me despedaçou. Mas ele me segurou nos braços, beijou minhas lágrimas e jurou que seu lobo, seu destino, havia escolhido apenas a mim. Que eu sempre seria sua única e verdadeira Luna. Eu acreditei nele. E, ainda assim, ele passava todas as noites na cama dela. Então, Jenica engravidou. Enquanto a alcateia comemorava, Dexter me expulsou dos aposentos da Luna, tudo para que o filhote dela nascesse envolto na aura lunar mais pura da alcateia. À medida que eu sentia o nosso vínculo se desfazer, fio por fio doloroso, enviei uma última mensagem codificada a uma amiga no mundo humano. [Em quatro dias, me tire daqui.] Naquela noite, eu fiz uma escolha. Meus dias como companheira dele haviam acabado.

Kurz vor unserer Paarungszeremonie erzählte mir mein Gefährte, Alpha Damien, er müsse eine Omega aus unserem Rudel, Seraphina, vorübergehend markieren. Er behauptete, sie hätte die Mondkrankheit und würde sterben, wenn er sie nicht markierte. Ich wehrte mich dagegen, aber am nächsten Tag zog er Seraphina direkt in das Penthouse des Packhauses ein. Die Suite, die für die zukünftige Luna bestimmt war. Meine Suite. Um mich zu beruhigen, ging er sogar auf die Knie, mit roten Augen, als er versprach: „Sobald sie in Sicherheit ist, werde ich die Markierung entfernen. Du wirst immer noch meine einzige Luna sein.“ Aber dann suchte mich Seraphina auf, mit einem medizinischen Bericht in der Hand. Sechs Wochen schwanger. Sie hatten ihre Markierungszeremonie bereits lange abgehalten, bevor Damien überhaupt zu mir kam. Mein Herz zerfiel zu Asche. Mein Stift grub sich in den Kalender und ritzte ein wütendes X über das Datum, das für unsere Paarungszeremonie bestimmt war. Dann öffnete ich meinen Laptop und antwortete auf die E-Mail der Europäischen Gilde der Lorbeerheiler. „Ich nehme Ihre Einladung an. Ich reise am Tag der Paarungszeremonie ab.“

Ma sœur, Lily, a été mise en pièces par des sauvages. J'ai sangloté, suppliant mon compagnon de destin, l'Alpha Ethan, de trouver ses meurtriers. Il ne l'a jamais fait. Un an plus tard, le jour de l'anniversaire de sa mort. Je suis allée trouver Ethan, prête à lui annoncer que j'étais enceinte. Au lieu de cela, je l'ai trouvé tenant une autre Oméga, Bella, dans ses bras. « Ne t'inquiète pas. » lui a-t-il dit. « Personne ne saura que tu as fait tomber le bouclier mental de la meute et que tu as fait tuer Lily. Une fois que Harper aura renoncé à son titre de Luna lors de la cérémonie, tu seras ma seule et unique. » Mon cœur s'est brisé. C'était donc ça. Il ne m'avait jamais marquée, jamais rejetée... il voulait que je me retire par moi-même. Il protégeait la meurtrière de ma sœur. Il voulait faire d'elle Luna. J'ai fait irruption en criant, mais Bella a soudain craché du sang et s'est effondrée. Empoisonnement à l'aconit, a-t-elle prétendu. « Elle a été empoisonnée en me sauvant ! Donne-moi le sang de ton cœur ! C'est la seule chose qui puisse la sauver ! » Ethan m'a regardée avec plus de dégoût que si j'étais une ordure. « Je suis enceinte ! Ça va tuer le bébé ! » Je l'ai supplié. Mais son Commandement Alpha a été donné. Mon corps ne m'appartenait plus. Je n'ai pu que regarder l'épaisse aiguille percer ma poitrine, en plein cœur. Du sang doré s'est écoulé. Une douleur aiguë et déchirante m'a déchiré l'estomac Il a tué mon bébé. Ma louve s'est brisée en moi. J'ai fermé les yeux, cherchant une connexion interdite dans le monde des loups-garous. « Roi Lycan Rogan. Demain, j'ai besoin que tu m'aides à détruire tout ce qui fait partie de la Meute de Bois Noir, y compris l'Alpha Ethan. »

A rogue attack shattered my wolf, costing me my birthright as the pack's heir. But my mate, Alpha Kael, seemed devoted to me. For three years, he injected me with a "Lunar Essence" he claimed would help me heal. I thought he was the only wolf who truly loved me. I never imagined he was poisoning me with Silver Dust, a suppressant designed to crush my wolf's spirit. All to ensure my wolf would never reawaken, securing my adopted sister Selene's claim as the pack's Alpha heir. My hands shook, my world turning to ash, as I opened his safe. Inside was the proof. From the rogue attack to the loss of my wolf, it was all a conspiracy orchestrated by Kael and Selene. That night, I pulled the burner phone from my drawer and dialed a number I'd sworn I'd never call. "Grandfather, I'm coming home. I'll be there in seven days. Please send someone for me."
