Year three of hiding who I was and dating Jenny Knapp, my parents finally said yes to the marriage. I rushed home, ready to tell her—then froze outside the door.

If my family hadn't gone broke, you wouldn't have settled for him." No pause. "I'll tell him my family's drowning in debt so we can break up. Then I'll register the marriage with you right away." The words on my tongue died. I pushed the door open. She turned to me, face tight. "My family owes $500,000. I don't want to drag you down. Let's break up." "Sure." I pulled out my phone and texted my dad. [Dad, don't transfer those three buildings to Jenny. Cancel the South Borevia redevelopment project.] If she thought we were worlds apart, I'd show her exactly where I stood.

A las 4 de la mañana, mi esposo, Rocco, me despertó con delicadeza. Su voz era apenas un murmullo. —Mi amor, ¿puedes hacerme un favor? Pero lo que dijo después me regresó a la realidad. —Scarlett tiene hambre. Ve y prepárale un caldo de mariscos. Scarlett era nuestra criada y también la amante embarazada de Rocco. —Acaban de traer mariscos frescos. Ve a la cocina y prepárale una sopa. Que es para el heredero de Falcone. Me negué firmemente. Él se puso furioso. —No seas tan necia, Alessia. ¿Por qué se te hace tan difícil preparar una sopa? Negué en silencio. Me acarició la mejilla, mientras sonreía de manera condescendiente. —Está bien.

He wouldn't acknowledge my status, but insisted that I fulfill my spousal obligations nonetheless. He didn't Mark me, while keeping me tangled in his web of lies. I hence decided to disappear in three days under the new moon, when everyone would be waiting to witness our Marking. I wanted to show him that not every wolf was willing to be a tool.
