Sophie Beyblade

La neuvième fois pour la cérémonie de pacte que j'avais fixé avec le Roi Alpha Gabriel Zéphirin est enfin arrivée. Pourtant, je n'ai toujours pas réussi à devenir sa Luna. Ce n'était pas lui qui avait manqué à sa parole. C'était moi… qui n'étais pas encore digne. Les Anciens avaient été très clairs : depuis toujours, chaque Luna reconnue par la Déesse de la Lune devait nourrir trois cent soixante-cinq fleurs de clair de lune avec son propre sang. Mais chaque année, à la veille de la cérémonie, peu importe combien j'étais prudente, il en manquait toujours une. Cette année, j'avais presque épuisé mon sang et, avec énormément d'efforts, j'avais enfin réussi à atteindre le nombre requis. Le cœur rempli de joie, je suis allée chercher Gabriel, voulant lui faire une surprise. À travers l'entrebâillement de la porte du palais royal, son Bêta lui a demandé : « Roi Alpha, Sophie Moreau vous attend déjà depuis huit ans. Vous n'avez toujours pas l'intention de conclure le pacte avec elle ? » Gabriel a secoué la tête. « J'ai promis à Clara Delacourt. Cette année encore, je ne peux pas conclure le pacte. » Le Bêta a hésité un instant. « Et si Sophie réussissait à faire pousser toutes les fleurs de clair de lune ? » Gabriel est resté silencieux un moment, puis il a frappé dans ses mains. Un loup d'ombre est apparu et s'est fondu dans l'obscurité. Peu de temps après, il est revenu, une fleur de clair de lune dans la gueule. Gabriel l'a prise, l'a déchirée en morceaux, puis il a poussé un soupir. « Sophie a beaucoup de sang. Sans parler d'une année… même si elle arrosait ces fleurs pendant dix ans, elle tiendrait le coup. » « Mais Clara est empoisonnée par le venin. Elle n'a plus que moi. Elle veut simplement que je reste auprès d'elle un peu plus longtemps pendant les derniers moments de sa vie. » « Je n'ai pas le cœur de refuser Clara. Alors je ne peux que faire subir cette injustice à Sophie pour l'instant. » Je me suis mordu la lèvre si fort que j'en ai presque senti le sang ! Je n'arrivais tout simplement pas à croire ce que j'avais entendu. Ainsi, les fleurs de clair de lune qui disparaissaient mystérieusement… c'était lui qui les détruisait. Devenir Luna était le rêve que je poursuivais depuis mon enfance. Mais puisqu'il n'avait jamais eu l'intention de conclure le pacte avec moi, alors il était temps pour moi de le quitter.

His face was inches from mine. His breath ghosted over my lips—warm, whiskey-scented from dinner and my body remembered him instantly: the way he’d pinned my wrists, the slow grind of his hips, the filthy things he’d growled in my ear while I came apart beneath him. He leaned in. I felt the pull—like gravity, like hunger. My lips parted on instinct. Just one more inch and we’d be kissing again, messy and desperate, right here in his car like teenagers who couldn’t wait. But reality crashed in. I jerked back, pressing myself against the door. “We can’t.” His jaw ticked. “Why not?” "Because I practically raised you.” My voice shook. “Because your mom is my best friend and I'm way older than you..." "I don't care" he bit out, shocking me even further. "I’ve wanted you since I was old enough to know what wanting meant. And don’t pretend like you don't feel something too." Sophie helped raise him. She was there for homework, school runs, and the lonely years when his parents were too busy. To her, he was just her best friend’s son. Years later, she catches her husband cheating on their anniversary and loses her unborn child due to the shock, Sophie spends the night with a stranger that she never expects to see again. But the stranger is Antonio — the boy she once helped raise. Now he’s all grown up. Powerful. Successful. And off limits. She manages to escape from him — so she thinks — until days later, she gets hired in a fashion company where Antonio is the CEO.

Di tahun kesepuluh pernikahanku, mantan sahabatku memposting sebuah foto. Putrinya dan putraku masing-masing digendong olehnya dan suamiku. Keempat orang itu berdiri berdekatan dan di bawah foto itu tertulis: "Sudah sepasang 'kan anak-anak kami?" Aku berkomentar untuk foto itu, Pasangan yang sempurna. Detik berikutnya, postingan itu dihapus. Keesokan harinya, suamiku bergegas pulang dan bertanya padaku, "Susah payah aku membuat kondisi Sophie membaik, kenapa kamu malah cari ribut?" Putraku bahkan mendorong dan menuduhku, "Ini semua salahmu! Adikku jadi menangis." Aku mengeluarkan surat cerai dan melemparkannya ke wajah mereka. "Ya, ini salahku! Jadi biar aku yang pergi, semoga kalian berempat jadi keluarga bahagia!"

Seavora City, Carmoria. Nathan Ziegler's side chick, Sophie, was melting down—again. He shoved the divorce papers at me. "Just sign. It's for show. Gotta keep her calm." I clutched my dress, gave a small nod, and signed. No fuss. No scene. As I turned to leave, one of his buddies snorted, "Joelle's way too obedient. Bet she'd fetch the divorce decree if you asked." Nathan lit a cigarette, smirking. "Wanna bet?" To them, I was still the silent pushover. The girl who'd cry in court but still do what she's told. Trade one paper for another—marriage for divorce. I stared at my phone. The message I'd received earlier: [Why don't you just marry me?] I typed back: [Okay.]
