Solo Leveling Sword

¿Cuánto me llegó a amar mi esposa? En aquel entonces, me pidió noventa y nueve veces que nos casáramos. Fue recién a la centésima cuando su insistencia terminó por conmoverme. El día de nuestra boda, le regalé noventa y nueve vales de reconciliación. Prometimos que, mientras le quedara uno solo, yo nunca me iría de su lado. Tras cinco años de casados, ella canjeaba un vale cada vez que salía a ver a su alma gemela. Al usar el número noventa y siete, ella notó de pronto que algo en mí había cambiado. Ya no había lágrimas ni escenas, ya no le suplicaba que se quedara a mi lado. Una vez, mientras ella perdía la cabeza por atender a su joven y mimado secretario, le pregunté en voz baja: —Si te vas con él, ¿puedo cobrar un vale de reconciliación? Se quedó pasmada un segundo y, extrañamente, cedió: —Está bien. Total, apenas habremos usado unos sesenta. Úsalo si quieres. Asentí y la dejé irse. No se imaginaba que era el noventa y siete. Ni que solo nos separaban dos vales del final.

El día en que el primer amor agonizante de mi compañero entró en labor de parto, sus padres apostaron a diez guerreros frente a mi puerta. Lo hicieron solo para impedir que irrumpiera en la sala de parto y arruinara el nacimiento del heredero del Alfa Kaelen. Sin embargo, no aparecí. Ni siquiera cuando el llanto de un recién nacido llenó el aire. Su madre, la antigua Luna, sostuvo la mano de la otra loba y soltó un suspiro de alivio. —Liana, con nosotros aquí, ¡esa estéril de Elara jamás les hará daño a ti ni al cachorro! Kaelen secó el sudor de la frente de Liana, con los ojos llenos de adoración. —No te preocupes. Mi padre tiene hombres vigilando las fronteras de la manada. Si Elara se atreve a causar problemas, ¡la exiliaremos para siempre! Por fin se relajó al comprobar que yo no iba a venir. No podía entenderlo. Lo único que quería era darle un hijo, un legado, al primer amor que se estaba muriendo. ¿Por qué no podía yo ser más comprensiva? Al mirar al cachorro dormido, una sonrisa satisfecha cruzó su rostro. Pensó que, si yo solo aparecía y le pedía disculpas a Liana, perdonaría todas nuestras peleas anteriores. Incluso estaría dispuesto a consolarme después del parto, quizá hasta me permitiría ser la madre del cachorro solo de nombre, para que pudiera conservar mi título de Luna. Pero él no lo sabía. Yo acababa de presentar mi solicitud ante el Consejo Supremo. En una semana, renunciaría a mi estatus dentro de la manada, me iría con los bebés que llevaba en el vientre y no volvería a verlo jamás.

El día en que Elizabeth Marcial estaba a punto de dar a luz, Agustín Vázquez, mi esposo, me llevó por la fuerza al hospital para inducirme el parto, cuando yo apenas tenía siete meses de embarazo. Me encerró en la sala de partos con el rostro desencajado. —Mónica, el bebé de Elizabeth tiene una enfermedad rara. En cuanto nazca, morirá. El doctor dijo que necesita la sangre del cordón umbilical y unas células madre especiales que solo pueden obtenerse durante el parto para salvarse. Rafael ya murió. Ahora me toca a mí cuidar de ella y de ese niño. La aguja de inducción, de casi diez centímetros, se me clavó sin piedad. Las contracciones me hicieron sudar frío del dolor. —Elizabeth ha estado bien todo el embarazo. ¿Cómo que el bebé tiene una enfermedad rara? Yo, en cambio, he tenido que cuidarme desde el primer día. Si haces que nuestro bebé nazca tres meses antes de tiempo, nos vas a matar a los dos. Agustín frunció apenas el entrecejo y me inmovilizó con fuerza contra la cama. —El doctor ya lo explicó. Solo van a adelantar el parto dos meses. No te va a pasar nada. Al oír los gritos de Elizabeth en la sala de al lado, su mirada se endureció de golpe, como si hubiera llegado a una conclusión. —¿No será que, porque siempre estoy pendiente de Elizabeth, quieres aprovechar esta oportunidad para quitarla de en medio? Ya te dije hace tiempo que la cuido por Rafael. ¿Cómo puedes ser tan cruel? Miré la sangre que no dejaba de brotar y, entre lágrimas, le rogué que tuviera piedad de nuestro bebé. Le dije que, si eso era lo que quería, yo me divorciaría y los dejaría en paz. En los ojos de Agustín no había nada más que fastidio. —No digas tonterías. Soy su padre. ¿Cómo voy a querer hacerle daño? Después de que usaron la sangre del cordón umbilical de mi bebé y las células madre extraídas durante el parto para salvar al hijo de Elizabeth, ella y su hijo quedaron fuera de peligro. Solo entonces Agustín se acordó de venir a vernos. Pero cuando entró en la habitación, sobre la cama solo había dos certificados de defunción: el mío y el de mi bebé.

La noche en que la banda rival de mi familia irrumpió en el baile de la mafia, me tomaron como moneda de cambio. Mi novio, Nolan, y mi mejor amigo, Riven, estaban a solo unos pasos de distancia. Sin embargo, prefirieron proteger a mi prima, Anna, en mi lugar. Horas después, un hombre misterioso me rescató; estaba llena de moretones, conmocionada y ya todos me habían olvidado. Nadie preguntó qué me habían hecho. —Anna estaba asustada —se limitó a decir Nolan—. Ella nos necesitaba más. Días después, Anna me invitó a su fiesta de cumpleaños. Fui por cortesía, solo para ver cómo me convertía en la villana de su historia. Nolan y Riven se quedaron a su lado, protegiéndola una vez más. Esa noche acepté la alianza matrimonial que mi familia había preparado años atrás. Cuando me fui de la ciudad, Nolan me envió un mensaje; estaba enojado, herido y ofendido. “¿En serio te vas?” Le respondí con una sola frase: “Eres más que bienvenido a mi boda”.
