Fui la compañera secreta de Kade, el Alfa de la manada durante cuatro años. La noche que me llamó, en un arrebato de pasión, me miró fijamente a los ojos durante mucho, mucho tiempo. Su voz sonaba ronca. —¿Sabes, Anya? Lo que más me fascina de ti son tus ojos preciosos. Para proteger su derecho al título de Alfa, acepté quedarme a su lado, haciéndome pasar por una guerrera Beta. Hasta que, radiante de orgullo, lo vi abrazar a mi media hermana por la cintura frente a todos. Solo cuando los rumores crecieron y todos empezaron a decir que la hermosa loba que el Alfa había llevado a casa tenía mis mismos ojos, comprendí la devastadora verdad. Nunca me amó a mí en realidad. Encaré a Kade y le exigí una explicación. Su expresión era de desprecio. —¿Que te dé una explicación? ¿Pues qué te imaginabas? Solo fue una marca temporal, nada más. Para mí, nunca has sido más que una amiga. No lloré. No hice una escena. Abrí un enlace mental con mi amigo de la infancia. —Acepto la invitación para convertirme en la jefa guerrera de la manada Silver Crest. Más tarde, cuando Kade descubrió que yo había captado la atención de su mayor rival, enloqueció.

Mi hermana gemela menor, Emma Lawson, siempre ha sido la favorita de todos porque está enferma. Esa vez, una tormenta de nieve nos atrapó en la montaña y llegó el helicóptero de rescate con espacio solo para una persona más. Tengo cáncer terminal y estuve más que dispuesta a dejar que Emma ocupara mi lugar. Sin embargo, de repente, ella se agarró la cabeza y lloró porque se sentía mareada. Toda mi familia corrió a su lado y juntos la empujaron hacia la cabina sin siquiera dejar espacio para discusión. Mi esposo, Leon Ziegler, me tocó el brazo fracturado y dijo: —Sarah, tú tendrás que esperar al próximo helicóptero. Mi hija, Daria Ziegler, incluso me lanzó una bola de nieve. —La tía Emma está más enferma que tú. Deja de intentar quitarle el puesto. Solo hasta que el helicóptero despegó vi a Emma pegada a la ventana, sacándome la lengua con aire de suficiencia. Ella había estado mintiendo todo este tiempo. Cuando finalmente me rescataron, los médicos me dijeron que me quedaban tres días de vida. Entonces decidí cambiar todo lo que tenía por un poco del cariño de mi familia.

Tuvimos una relación de diez años. Salvador Ríos, finalmente, aceptó casarse conmigo. Pero el día en que debíamos tomarnos las fotos para la boda, cuando el fotógrafo nos pidió que nos besáramos, Salvador frunció el ceño con desagrado, murmuró que sufría de misofobia y, sin más, me empujó suavemente a un lado y se marchó solo. Yo, con la cara ardiendo de vergüenza, me vi obligada a disculparme con todo el equipo por su actitud. Afuera caía una nevada densa. Era imposible encontrar un taxi. Caminé sola, paso a paso sobre la nieve, con los pies empapados… y el corazón también. Y al llegar al departamento que sería nuestro hogar conyugal, lo encontré besando a Lucía Solís. Abrazándola como si el mundo estuviera a punto de acabarse. —Lucía… solo dime una palabra… y dejo esta boda y todo ahora mismo —susurró él. Diez años de amor ciego… de pronto se convirtieron en una broma cruel. Lloré como nunca. Y luego decidí que sería yo quien escapara primero de esa boda. Tiempo después, se corrió la voz en todo nuestro círculo social: El joven Ríos buscaba desesperadamente a su ex prometida por todo el mundo, solo para rogarle que lo mirara una vez más.

"First with kindness, then with the gentlest touch. I want to both hurt you and shield you from pain. I want your voice to echo and then fall silent.

I need you, and I want you to steal the very breath from my lungs." Their collision was inevitable, their connection fraught with danger and desire. As they embarked on their tumultuous journey, they would soon realize that their meeting was just the beginning of a fiery dance between two souls destined to either consume each other or ignite a blaze of passion that would defy the darkness closing in around them.
