Sophie Mina

Mon compagnon David, Alpha de la tribu, est toujours resté distant à mon égard depuis que je suis devenue sa compagnon et la Luna. Il a toujours cru que j'avais eu l'occasion de m'apparier avec lui et que j'étais rapidement tombée enceinte parce que je lui avais fait avaler des phéromones dans la nuit de la pleine lune. Soucieux de sa réputation en tant qu'Alpha, il a décidé de m'accepter. C'était ainsi que je suis devenue sa mystérieuse Luna. La meute ne savait que David avait revendiqué une Luna, mais personne n'a pu m'associer avec ce titre. C'était pour la même raison qu'il n'a montré aucune affection pour notre enfant lorsque je lui ai donné la naissance. Je me rappelais encore qu'il avait jeté un regard écœuré à notre fils juste avant de pivoter sur ses talons quand le serviteur le lui avait apporté. « Espérons qu'il ne sera pas aussi intrigant et calculatrice comme sa mère et qu'il ne nuira pas à la réputation de la meute ! » J'étais épuisée et affaiblie par l'accouchement, allongée dans le lit, me laissant fondue en larmes. Quelques mois avant, Sophie, l'amie d'enfance de David, était revenue. Après avoir appris cette nouvelle ce jour-là, David était fou de joie. Lorsque qu'il est revenu de chez Sophie, complètement ivre, il a pris notre louveteau dans ses bras. Le fiston s'est blotti contre lui, heureux, et m'a murmuré après : « Maman, tonton a pris l'initiative de me prendre dans ses bras. Il m'a accepté, n'est-ce pas ? » Je l'ai serré fort avec mes yeux larmoyants avant de lui expliquer : « Sa véritable compagne est revenue. C'est le moment pour nous de quitter. » Personne ne savait encore que mon guérisseur avait diagnostiqué l'épuisement de mon âme du loup. Il ne me restait plus que trois jours de vie. Avant ma mort, je devais envoyer mon enfant chez mes parents où il serait aimé et soigné au lieu de le laisser être détesté et abandonné par son propre père. Après ces trois jours, David ne reverrait ni moi ni notre louveteau, plus jamais.

For five years, I was Carlos’s dirty little secret. In the light of day, I was his executive assistant, handling his legitimate businesses while he treated me with cold, professional detachment. In the shadows, I was the woman he claimed to love more than life itself, the one who warmed his bed while he whispered promises against my skin. That was until I found out I was pregnant. I was ready to tell him, to finally ask for a life in the light. But then, I discovered Carlos had purchased a secluded estate in the suburbs—a fortress meant for a wife. I followed him there, heart in my throat, only to watch through the window as his hand slid beneath a woman’s silk lingerie, his eyes burning with a raw desire I thought belonged only to me. "Sophie," he groaned, his voice rough with emotion. "I stayed unmarried all these years for one reason. I was waiting for you to come back to the States. Marry me." The sounds of their pleasure echoed from the room. The shock was a physical blow; my body revolted, and the stress induced a miscarriage right there in the cold. When I woke up in the hospital, empty and broken, I made a call I had been avoiding for years. I accepted the arranged marriage my family had set up for me—a political alliance with a rival syndicate. The next morning,I would vanish from Carlos’s life forever.

Ich starb an dem Tag, an dem ich den „Distinguished Service Award“ des Rudels erhalten sollte. Drei Stunden nach meinem Tod machten meine Eltern, mein Bruder und mein Gefährte gerade den Abschluss der Abschlussfeier, die sie für meine Schwester ausgerichtet hatten. Während meine Schwester Ella ein gemütliches Familienfoto auf Instagram postete, war ich im Keller eingesperrt. Ich versuchte, mit der Zunge über mein Handy zu wischen, um Hilfe zu rufen. Der einzige Person, die antwortete, war mein Gefährte Ryan. Alles, was er sagte, war: „Sophie, hör auf mit dem Drama. Ellas Abschlussfeier ist wichtig. Jetzt reicht's aber mit dem Theater!“ Es war das neunundneunzigste Mal, dass sie mich im Stich ließen. Und das letzte. Ich lag in einer Lache meines eigenen Blutes, und meine Lungen waren reglos. Sie dachten, ich hätte einfach einen Wutanfall und hätte mich irgendwo versteckt, und dass ich schon zu ihnen zurückkriechen würde, wenn sie mich nur genug schmoren ließen. Aber sie wussten es nicht. Ich war die ganze Zeit zu Hause. Ich war bereits tot.

Ich war mit Julian Krüger, dem Don der Mafia, seit sieben Jahren zusammen. An dem Tag, an dem wir gemeinsam das Brautkleid anprobieren wollten, machte ich mich voller Freude mit meiner Schwangerschaftsbescheinigung auf den Weg zum Brautladen. Doch dort hörte ich zufällig, wie er mit seinem Vertrauten sprach. „Die Heirat mit Nina Koch gestern war eine Notlösung. Mein Bruder starb bei einem Bandenkrieg. Sie trägt das einzige Kind der Familie Krüger. Ohne rechtmäßigen Status können sie in der Familie nicht überleben.“ „Alle würden sie schikanieren.“ Er hielt eine Zigarre zwischen den Fingern. Seine Stimme klang kalt, aber mit einem Hauch von Verzweiflung. „Alles außer dem Status kann ich Sophie Schulz geben – meine Liebe, mein Geld. Aber diese Sache darf sie niemals erfahren.“ Ich klammerte mich an die Bescheinigung, und mein Herz zerbrach. Ich ließ meine beste Freundin eine neue Identität für mich anmelden, damit Julian mich niemals finden würde. Wenn er mir und unserem Kind kein vollständiges Zuhause geben konnte, dann war es besser, diese Liebe, die ohnehin nur noch aus Pflichtgefühl und Lügen bestand, endgültig zu beenden.

Depois que o irmão mais velho de Leo Carter morreu, a mãe dele propôs que ele se casasse com Ariel Sullivan, a viúva grávida do falecido. Leo recusou. — Fawn é a minha vida. — A voz dele soou fria, e o ar ao redor pareceu mais denso. — Eu preferia abrir mão de herdar o posto do meu irmão como Don a trair a minha esposa. Eu fiquei profundamente comovida com aquela devoção… até o dia em que, por acaso, eu ouvi uma conversa entre Leo e a mãe dele. — A criança na barriga de Ariel é claramente sua. — A mãe dele disparou, cortante. — Então por que você não vai se casar com ela? Leo soltou o ar devagar, e uma nuvem de fumaça escapou. O olhar dele se perdeu em algum ponto distante, indecifrável, como se nada ali o atingisse por completo. — Eu prometi à Ariel que deixaria meu irmão com um herdeiro. — A calma dele foi quase irritante, calculada demais. — Mas isso fica entre nós. Se a Fawn descobrir um dia… eu estou morto. A expressão da mãe dele escureceu, como se a paciência tivesse se partido. — E daí se ela descobrir? Ela nem pode ter filhos. — A voz dela veio carregada de desprezo. — Você vai acabar com a linhagem da família por causa dela? — Se ela descobrir, ela vai me deixar. — A frieza de Leo cortou como lâmina, perigosa. — E eu não sobrevivo sem ela. Se você quer um neto, então cale a boca. Eu me afastei cambaleando, como se tivesse levado um golpe. O sangue nas minhas veias foi esfriando aos poucos, até virar gelo. Leo me conhecia melhor do que qualquer um; ele sabia que, no meu mundo, amor não tolerava traição. Então, no instante em que ele me traiu, eu tomei a minha decisão. Eu iria embora.

Je suis morte le jour où je devais recevoir la médaille du service distingué de la meute. Trois heures après ma mort, mes parents, mon frère et mon compagnon venaient de terminer la fête de remise du diplôme qu'ils avaient organisée pour ma sœur. Pendant que ma sœur Élise publiait une photo de famille chaleureuse sur Instagram, j'étais enfermée dans notre sous-sol, appuyant sur mon téléphone avec ma langue pour appeler à l'aide. La seule personne qui a répondu était mon compagnon, Richard. Tout ce qu'il a dit, c'était : « Sophie, arrête de faire des histoires. La fête de remise du diplôme d'Élise est importante. Assez de crises de colère ! » C'était la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois qu'ils faisaient cela. Je gisais dans une mare de mon propre sang, les poumons immobiles. Ils pensaient que je faisais juste une scène, que je me cachais quelque part, que s'ils me donnaient une leçon, je reviendrais en rampant. Mais ils ne savaient pas, j'étais à la maison tout ce temps. J'étais déjà morte.

“Shit, she is escaping," said the one with the blue eyes, who cursed out, and grabbed the rope. Taking the vase from the table beside the window, I throw it over his head. “Get your fucking hands off,” I snapped, and I jumped out the window with the rope as my guide, and he followed. “Great, today is not just my day," I murmured as I landed on the- In a world of crimes, spies, a forbidden romance.

"There should be rules if we are even going to do this," he said without looking at me. "I have always lived by the rules." He slid a file towards me. "This is the contract. The rules are stated there." I opened the file and glanced through it. "You can take it home and study them; give me feedback tomorrow evening. But I will read out the rules for you now because they start now, and in case your brain can't comprehend them, then I can explain." Anger seethed through me, and I almost threw the file back at him, but when I thought about the money involved and how it would benefit little Sophie, I bit my lower lip to push back the anger.
