« Tu ne sais pas ce que tu me fais, Theodota », murmura-t-il, la voix rauque. Mon souffle se bloqua dans ma gorge tandis que ses dents mordillaient doucement ma nuque, puis ma gorge. Je gémis. Mon centre palpitait à la façon dont mon nom roulait sur sa langue comme une adoration. Comme une prière. Comme s'il voulait m'avoir là, à cet instant précis. Il embrassa doucement ma clavicule, et des étincelles jaillirent à travers mon corps. Cela brûlait, de me tenir là et de le désirer. S’il me repoussait contre le mur, que la déesse m'aide, je ne l'arrêterais pas. « Alors montre-le-moi », chuchotai-je. « Montre-moi comment je t'affecte. » Une supplique se fraya un chemin dans ma voix. Je ne pensais même plus clairement. Sa respiration s'accéléra d'un cran, lourde et prometteuse. Cela me faisait l'anticiper encore plus. Au diable la fête de fiançailles. Son visage était tendu et douloureux, alors que ses yeux rencontraient les miens à nouveau. « Je ne peux pas. » Deux mots, et mon estomac se serra. Mais je ne le lâchai pas. Je m'accrochai à son bras, mes jambes devenant un peu faibles. Mon cœur se crispa. « Pourquoi ? » chuchotai-je. « Nous appartenons à des mondes différents, Theodota », dit-il, et il me tourna le dos. Portant la douleur de la trahison et le souvenir du sang, elle jure de ne plus jamais être l'Oméga soumise et obéissante qu'elle était autrefois. Le destin, encore une fois, lui réserve son tour le plus cruel. Au moment où sa vengeance s'allume, elle découvre quelque chose d'inattendu... Avec quelque chose de plus grand que l'amour et le lien de compagnon jeté dans la mêlée, les âmes sœurs survivront-elles ?
