The Illusion Of Choice

After my brother, Don Matteo Sabella, finds out I have a crush on our family Consigliere, Lorenzo Gallo, for years, he spikes Lorenzo's wine and has him delivered to my bed. That night, he pushes deep into me, and we lose ourselves in each other. When the sky begins to lighten, Lorenzo stays, kisses my temple, and asks me to marry him. Now that we are married, he is all those things—gentle, perfect, and fiercely possessive—handing me almost everything I desire. I truly believe I've landed the kind of love every woman in our world dreams about. That illusion lasts until the day Matteo gets taken out in an assassination. After that, Lorenzo steps up as the Sabellas' new Don. It isn't long before he says he has family business to handle and disappears overseas for three years. Even on the day I deliver our daughter, Luna Gallo, he can't come home because of some emergency. Then I hear a recording that's blowing up on the family's internal network. His Consigliere chuckles and asks, "Don, what do you think has changed the most since you took over the family?" Lorenzo answers in this offhand tone, "It's definitely the fact that I can finally give those I care about most a home. But it also means I'm even more worried that Eliana and Sofia will be targeted because of me…" My blood runs cold. Eliana Rossi is his adopted sister, and Sofia is her daughter. Turns out every business trip, every absence, every so-called emergency Lorenzo has is about them. He has another home out there. That night, with my hands shaking, I dial the encrypted line. "Matteo, we've found the traitor. Isn't it time you stopped pretending to be dead and came to take Luna and me away?"

Als ich versuchte, eine neue Gefährtenurkunde zu beantragen, teilte mir die Abteilung für Werwolfangelegenheiten mit: „Deine Gefährtenurkunde ist gefälscht. Bei uns gibt es keine Registrierung auf deinen Namen.“ Ungläubig fragte ich nach: „Sam und ich haben uns doch vor fünf Jahren registrieren lassen. Das kann doch nicht sein! Bitte überprüfen Sie das noch einmal…“ Der Sachbearbeiter durchforstete erneut unsere Daten. „Die Akte von Alpha Sam habe ich gefunden, aber als registrierte Partnerin ist nicht dein Name eingetragen.“ Mit zitternder Stimme fragte ich weiter: „Wen hat Sam denn offiziell als Gefährtin eingetragen?“ „Lily“, antwortete der Beamte ehrlich. Ich klammerte mich krampfhaft an der Stuhllehne fest, um nicht das Gleichgewicht zu verlieren. Bis zu dem Moment, in dem er Lilys Namen nannte, hatte ich noch gehofft, es handle sich um ein Missverständnis. Aber ausgerechnet sie—Sams Jugendfreundin! In dem Augenblick, in dem ich die Wahrheit erfuhr, ergab plötzlich alles einen Sinn. Fünf Jahre lang war ich Sams Gefährtin, doch er hatte mich nie markiert. Vor fünf Jahren hatten wir lediglich eine Paarungszeremonie abgehalten. Ich war voller Vorfreude gewesen, hatte mich auf ein gemeinsames Leben gefreut—und am Ende stellte sich heraus, dass die Gefährtenurkunde gefälscht war. Die Verbindung, für die ich einst alles aufgegeben hatte, die fünf Jahre des vermeintlichen Glücks—alles war nichts weiter als eine Illusion! Da all das nicht mir gehörte, blieb mir nichts anderes übrig, als zu gehen.
