Why Did Inho Join The Game

"—No creo que te des cuenta, pero no soy ese tipo de chica.

He looked right through me. Alpha Damon, my fated mate, saw only a cursed, scentless servant unworthy of his notice. His rejection was a cold blade to the heart. Then, blood and chaos shattered everything. A rogue attack broke the curse binding my true Alpha power, revealing the wolf he’d scorned. Now, he sees me. Now, he wants me. The pursuit has begun – fierce, desperate, possessive. He tries apologies, demands, even force, driven by the bond he denied. But I am not the broken girl he remembers. He will learn that earning forgiveness from the Luna he brutalized means bowing before the power he dismissed. The chase is on, but this time, I set the rules.

I'm the daughter of Don Falcone. After I got back from studying abroad, my family threw a welcome-home banquet, conveniently setting me up to meet the fiancé my father had handpicked for me—Santino Moretti. My father praised the guy to the skies in his letters: he was the heir to the Moretti family, elegant, ruthless, drop-dead gorgeous, and holding half the city’s underground operations in the palm of his hand. I arrived at the Elysium Hotel right on the dot. Just as I was about to take a seat, a hand shoved me hard. A woman's shrill voice pierced my ear. "Livia, what's a Sicilian peasant like you doing here? This is the Imperial Suite. Do you think you even deserve to breathe the air in a place like this?" I recognized the woman. It was Bella, a bitch who had always had it out for me back in college. She was clearly trying to humiliate me. Instead of getting mad, I smirked. "Whether I deserve to be here or not—is that for you to decide?" Bella sneered, crossing her arms over her chest. "I'm Mr. Santino's personal assistant. Today, Mr. Santino is hosting the eldest daughter of the Falcone family here. This isn't an occasion for bottom-feeding trash like you." "Be smart and crawl back to your slum." I pulled out my phone and dialed my so-called fiancé. I wanted to ask him if it was a tradition in the Moretti family to let their dogs bark at the front door.

Encarei o contrato de casamento dos Vercetti que meu pai empurrou sobre a mesa. Sem hesitar, escrevi o nome da minha meia-irmã, Demi, e o deslizei de volta. Meu pai congelou. Em seguida, seus olhos brilharam com uma empolgação ridícula, como se tivesse acabado de ganhar na loteria. — Como você pode dar uma chance tão perfeita à sua irmã? Na minha vida passada, meu casamento foi uma piada para todos ao meu redor. Eu era a ruiva indomável, a pequena bruxa selvagem que ousou entrar na órbita de Cassian Vercetti, herdeiro e líder da antiga família criminosa Vercetti. Eu nunca fui perfeita nem obediente. Ele amava vestidos de deusa. Eu usava minissaias e dançava sobre as mesas. Ele exigia intimidade na posição missionária, tradicional e ordenada. Eu queria subir por cima, dominá-lo, perder-me completamente. Em um baile de gala, as esposas da alta sociedade riam do meu cabelo, do meu vestido, da minha "selvageria". Achei que ele ao menos fingiria me defender. Não defendeu. — Perdoem-na. Ela não é… devidamente treinada. Treinada. Como um cachorro. Passei toda a minha vida anterior sufocando sob as regras dele, dobrando-me até sangrar para caber na forma que ele queria, até a noite em que nossa casa pegou fogo. Quando abri os olhos novamente, estava de volta ao momento em que soube do casamento arranjado. Olhei para o contrato à minha frente. Desta vez? Acho que os garotos da boate combinam mais comigo. Mas, no instante em que Cassian percebeu que a noiva não era eu, ele quebrou todas as regras pelas quais havia vivido.

I push through my Gamma warrior training ahead of schedule just to get back to the pack sooner. All I want is to stand beside my Alpha, Kyle Faucher, and finally complete our mate-bonding ceremony. But when I step into our house, scarred and feeling hopeful, I see 100 old boarding passes to the Darkmoon pack littering the floor. That pack is only a mile from my training grounds. Kyle's been that close for two years, and still, he never came. I sprint to the place where we were supposed to have our mate-bonding ceremony, clinging to the desperate hope that there's an explanation. But the moment I burst through the doors, I stopped cold. Kyle is down on one knee, dressed in a tailored suit, his eyes locked on someone with a softness I've never seen in him before. Standing across from him, smiling through her tears, is my stepsister, Vivian Blackwell. "Vivian, I haven't completed the mate-bonding ceremony with Serene. Say the word, and I'll reject her and mark you right now." At that moment, the world goes still, and I even forgot how to breathe. So this is what he's been doing while I was gone, chasing the woman he never let go of. Meanwhile, I spent those two years giving everything I had, trying to become someone worthy of standing by his side. I don't ask why or shed a tear. I just turn around and walk away. If she's what he wants, then so be it. The mate-bonding ceremony I dreamed of will be theirs instead. But the second I'm gone, he loses it and sends every warrior looking for me.
