Ich erwachte in meinem 27-jährigen Körper. Ich hatte Zwillingswelpen, und mein Gefährte war Ethan, der mächtigste Alpha des Nordwestens. Er stand immer an der Spitze der Ranglisten des Wolfsrates. Das „Alpha-Journal“ ernannte ihn sogar zum „Begehrtesten Gefährten des Kontinents“. Sogar das Königliche Rudel wollte ihm seine Prinzessin zur Gemahlin geben. Jeder im Rudel sagte, ich hätte Glück. Doch was tat ich als Erstes? Ich nahm den heiligen Vertrag zur Auflösung unserer Gefährtenbindung und brachte ihn persönlich zu seiner Ex-Geliebten. Ich schob Isabella Swan den Vertrag hin und sagte gelassen: „Ich werde die Mondgöttin bitten, unsere Bindung zu lösen. Ethan gehört dir. Die Welpen auch.“ Isabella starrte mich schockiert an. Sie konnte nicht glauben, dass die Person, die sechs Jahre lang Luna gewesen war, einfach alles aufgeben würde. Ich fügte nur leise hinzu: „Da sie alle deinen Geruch ohnehin lieber mögen, mache ich euch den Weg frei. Sorg einfach dafür, dass Ethan den Vertrag mit seinem Alpha-Zeichen versieht. Sobald das Trennungsritual vorüber ist, vorbei ist, verlasse ich dieses Territorium.“ Dieses Mal würde ich nicht die gleichen Fehler machen. Ich würde nicht länger die Luna sein, die alle ignorierten.

Ich erfuhr zur gleichen Zeit wie Rosa, dass ich schwanger war. Sie war die Jugendliebe meines Ehemanns, der in der Mafia war. Um ihr Baby davor zu schützen, auf Drängen ihrer Eltern abgetrieben zu werden, gab mein Mann ihr Baby als sein eigenes aus. Und was war mit meinem? Er redete mir gut zu und sagte, er würde es erst nach der Geburt von Rosas Baby als sein eigenes anerkennen können. Ich konfrontierte ihn und verlangte zu wissen, warum er mir das antat. Seine Antwort war kalt und unerschütterlich: „Ihr Baby als mein eigenes anzuerkennen, war die einzige Möglichkeit, sie beide zu schützen. Ich werde nicht zulassen, dass ihr oder dem Kind etwas zustößt!“ In jenem Moment, als ich den Mann ansah, den ich zehn Jahre lang geliebt hatte, wurde mir klar, dass meine Liebe zu ihm bereits gestorben war. Nicht lange danach verurteilte mich meine Familie. Sie nannten mich eine Schlampe, weil ich ein Kind ohne Vater bekommen würde, und drängten mich zu einer Abtreibung. Währenddessen hielt sich mein Mann in einer anderen Stadt bei seiner Geliebten auf und half ihr durch ihre Schwangerschaft. Als er dann zurückkam, war ich allerdings bereits weg.

“Do you feel that, Wren? That pull between us?” His eyes darken, flicking to my mouth. “It’s wrong. Your brother would slit my throat for even standing this close. But tell me, little bird—” his breath ghosts against my skin, “—are you trembling because you hate me… or because you’ve wanted this as much as I have?” >>> Wren thought she’d left the chaos of New Orleans behind; the club life, the blood-soaked loyalty, the men who lived and died by their kuttes.
