Chapter 1

James Pov:

—Cariño, ¿estás bien?— preguntó mi esposa, Sarah. Sabía que no estaba bien, pero no podía decirle cuál era el problema, al menos no todavía, hasta que averiguara qué hacer y cómo hacerlo. Se acercó a mí. Había estado sentado en el sofá desde la mañana sin darme cuenta de lo malhumorado que estaba. Si Sarah se daba cuenta de que algo andaba mal conmigo, significaba que había sido muy malo con mi expresión.

—Nada, cariño, estoy bien. He estado trabajando más duro de lo habitual, pero estoy bien, creo que solo necesito descansar— respondí tratando de convencerla con mis palabras.

—Realmente necesitas bajar el ritmo con el trabajo, nuestra familia está bien, y también el negocio. Tómate un descanso ya— dijo antes de masajearme ligeramente el hombro. La miré y suspiré.

Pondré la empresa en marcha, solo necesitaba un poco de tiempo.

—Estaré bien, Sarah. Probablemente solo necesite descansar— le dije de nuevo. Ella suspiró y se sentó a mi lado.

—¿Dónde están los niños?— le pregunté.

—Posiblemente estén jugando afuera, supongo— se encogió de hombros.

—Está bien, James— Sarah se volvió hacia mí.

—Sé lo duro que trabajas, está bien, tómate un descanso a veces, estoy orgullosa de ti— concluyó, tomando mis manos en las suyas, besó mi palma.

He estado casado con Sarah durante 10 años y hemos sido bendecidos con dos hijos, Natalie y Andrew. Mi familia ha sido feliz, los he mantenido en marcha, y mi negocio ha sido muy bueno. Soy dueño de un hotel de lujo en la mejor zona de Chicago.

—Gracias— le devolví el beso. Se levantó y comenzó a caminar hacia la cocina, supongo, simplemente no miré en esa dirección.

—La comida estará lista en 3— gritó.

Asentí aunque ella no estaba allí para ver mi aprobación, me faltaba la energía para hablar.

Pensé en la empresa, cómo en los últimos dos días nuestras ventas y cifras habían bajado, solo esperaba que la semana siguiente a la observación las cosas mejoraran. Y no puedo dejar que mi esposa lo sepa todavía.


Un mes después y las ventas están aún peor. Sarah no lo ha sabido todavía, pero creo que sospecha algo, aún así no planeaba decirle que mi empresa estaba cayendo y pronto estaríamos en deuda.

—Encontraré una solución— me aseguré a mí mismo mientras conducía al trabajo una mañana. De alguna manera creía que lo resolvería, solo que no sabía cómo empezar ni por dónde empezar. El resto de los accionistas aún no habían llamado, así que necesitaría trabajar en algo antes de que comenzaran.

Aparqué mi coche en el estacionamiento y salí diligentemente como siempre y caminé hacia el edificio que albergaba mi empresa.

Entré en el ascensor para bajar en el cuarto piso. En mi cabeza, debería hacer que las ventas subieran y se movieran de nuevo en una semana o dos, pero sabía que no lo haría solo. La pregunta es, ¿quién lo hará? No mi esposa, ella no sabía mucho sobre negocios.

Exhalé profundamente antes de salir del ascensor.

—Buenos días, señor— saludó Michael acercándose a mí.

—Tiene a unos hombres esperándolo en su oficina, intenté sacarlos para que esperaran en el vestíbulo, pero no quisieron. Por la apariencia de las cosas, esos hombres no parecen ser buenas personas— dijo.

—Está bien, Michael— sonreí y me dirigí a mi oficina con el corazón un poco pesado.

—Llegas tarde— una voz me dio la bienvenida una vez que entré en la oficina. Aún no veía el rostro dueño de esa voz, pero encontré a otros hombres que no parecían felices.

—¿Emmm, perdón?— necesitaba hablar lo más calmadamente posible.

—¿Así es como diriges la empresa?— preguntó la voz antes de revelarse, girándose para mirarme.

—Con razón has perdido ventas— sonrió.

—¿Y quién eres tú?— pregunté ejerciendo un poco de valentía.

—Soy Antonio— dijo y sopló el humo de su boca.

—Tengo una oferta para ti, James Torres, quiero comprar tu empresa, déjame liberarte de este estrés que llamas negocio— Antonio rió malvadamente.

—Piénsalo, James, te ofreceré lo que pidas, ¿de acuerdo?— Acercándose a mí, sopló el humo en mi cara y me frotó el pecho antes de salir de mi oficina.

Conozco a Antonio, uno de los criminales del bajo mundo. ¿Por qué necesitaba mi empresa? ¿No tenía suficiente? No dejaré que la tenga. Incluso sabía sobre mis bajas ventas. ¿Alguien lo envió?

Justo antes de que terminara el día, alguien entró en mi oficina sin autorización. Llevaba una chaqueta gruesa de algodón y un sombrero, tenía una pipa en la boca y soplaba el humo simultáneamente. Estaba solo.

—¿Puedo ayudarte en algo?— le pregunté mirándolo mientras lo observaba.

—No, yo soy el que está en mejor posición para ayudarte— dijo.

—Antonio estuvo aquí, pero tengo una oferta mejor que la suya— suspiró, soplando más humo antes de acercarse a mi escritorio.

—No sé de qué estás hablando— mis palabras salieron arrastrándose, encontrándose entre sí.

—Soy Sabastain Mateo, y siempre consigo lo que quiero— fueron sus últimas palabras antes de salir de mi oficina tan silenciosamente como entró.

Necesitaba hacer algo. Solo conocía a un hombre que podría ayudar, pero no lo haría sin al menos informar a Sarah.


—Sarah, tienes que entender, no puedo pedir un préstamo al banco, podría no cumplir con el pago, pero si le pido a Saint, él ayudará. Recuerda que Saint y yo tenemos un pequeño pasado— traté de convencer a Sarah para que al menos aprobara la idea.

—Sé qué tipo de hombre es Saint, no quiero que tengas ninguna relación con él de nuevo— Sarah habló como si fuera a llorar.

—Saint ayudará, eso es todo lo que sé, confía en mí.

Le tomé las manos. Sarah me miró, sus ojos formaban un pequeño charco de agua.

—Estaremos bien, Sarah— le aseguré y ella asintió antes de abrazarla. Dejé un beso en su palma y otro en su frente.

Me preparé para encontrarme con Saint, no tenía que informarle que iba, incluso si quisiera, no sabía cómo. Odiaba necesitar la ayuda de Saint, pero de alguna manera, no tenía otra opción.

Conduje 5 horas antes de avistar las enormes puertas que cerraban el edificio que pertenecía a Saint. En la puerta, había una inscripción en negrita que decía "Don Santiago Daniel" y en otro lado "Saint".

Sonreí torcidamente cuando salí de mi coche.

Debieron notar mi llegada desde su CCTV, supongo. Antes de llegar a la puerta, ya se estaba abriendo para mí.

—Don te está esperando— me dijo el tipo grande y calvo.

Asentí y lo seguí.

El terreno era bastante grande y se veía mucho mejor que la última vez que lo recordaba. Olía a verde.

Caminamos por un sendero que nos llevó a otro camino largo decorado con pequeñas flores creciendo en macetas pequeñas.

—Ahí, toca antes de entrar— dijo señalando una puerta frente a nosotros y se fue.

Caminé hacia la puerta y toqué como se me indicó y entré. Saint estaba sentado al otro lado de un escritorio con muchos papeles encima. Me pregunté para qué eran esos papeles.

Me hizo un gesto para que me sentara con sus ojos y mano.

—James— murmuró encendiendo un cigarrillo.

—¿Por qué estás aquí?— preguntó y aclaró su garganta.

—Saint, necesito tu ayuda— me ajusté en mi asiento.

—Mi empresa... necesito dinero, estoy bajando en ventas— tartamudeé, dando la bienvenida a un miedo que no entendía. Quiero decir, este es Santiago Daniel.

—Antonio y Mateo vinieron a mi oficina hace unos días. Quieren mi empresa, Saint, y tengo miedo de que vengan por mi familia— concluí.

—¿Antonio? Está bien— sonrió y asentí frecuentemente.

—¿Cuánto necesitas?— preguntó Saint mirándome.

—Yo...— abrí la boca para decir algo, pero Saint me detuvo.

—Primero firmarás un contrato— dijo Saint dejando su sombrero sobre el escritorio.

“I thought we discussed this earlier, Weakness? I warned you. His death is on your hands.”
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.


Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
