Introduction

Dopo essere stata sposata con mio marito per quattro anni, sono finalmente libera. Il mio piano sta finalmente prendendo forma e posso vedere il mio futuro davanti a me. Il mio sogno sta diventando realtà con i soldi che Simon deve darmi dopo il divorzio. Il mio ultimo atto di vendetta.

Hana pensa di avere tutto pianificato dopo il divorzio. Questo fino a quando la polizia bussa alla sua porta facendo domande sul suo ex-marito. Poco dopo c'è un altro bussare. Questa volta è la mafia e non vogliono parlare. La terza volta che qualcuno bussa alla porta di Hana, lei non la apre. Ma quando lo fa, contro il suo miglior giudizio, trova il padre del suo ex che non ha mai incontrato. Dovrebbe essere il nemico, la sua presenza dovrebbe far scattare tutti i suoi allarmi. Allora perché non riesce a chiedergli di andarsene e perché si sente al sicuro con lui?

Hunter non vede suo figlio da anni, ma un vecchio amico lo chiama per dirgli che la polizia sta indagando su suo figlio. Hunter rintraccia la moglie di suo figlio e nell'istante in cui la incontra non riesce a pensare ad altro che ai suoi occhi azzurri. Le promette di aiutarla. È la cosa giusta da fare, e non ha nulla a che vedere con come il suo corpo reagisce quando lei è vicina.

Chapter 1

Fissai il documento. Un paio di iniziali e la mia firma, e questa parte della mia vita sarebbe finita. Un singhiozzo mi sfuggì e presi un respiro profondo. Andava bene, lo volevo, avevo lottato per questo, era il mio obiettivo. Forse era vero, ma affrontare la sua finalità non sembrava una vittoria. Sembrava un fallimento. Forse avevo fallito come moglie, Dio sa quante volte Simon me lo aveva detto.

Simon era stato il mio cavaliere in armatura scintillante. Ci siamo conosciuti al primo anno di università. Non andavo spesso alle feste, ma la mia coinquilina mi aveva tormentato finché non l'avevo accompagnata un venerdì. Odiavo quelle feste, mi sentivo fuori posto e conoscevo solo Jessie, la mia coinquilina, che era sparita dopo dieci minuti. Stavo in cucina, desiderando di essere invisibile e chiedendomi quanto tempo dovessi aspettare prima di poter tornare a casa. Fu allora che due uomini mi notarono e iniziarono a parlarmi. Cercai di rilassarmi e di entrare nella conversazione, ma mi fecero sentire a disagio e quando si avvicinarono troppo, iniziai a entrare nel panico. Fu allora che lui si avvicinò a me. Lui con la L maiuscola. Simon, il ragazzo della confraternita di cui tutti parlavano nel campus. Gli uomini volevano essere come lui, le donne volevano uscire con lui. Bello, ricco e con un futuro brillante davanti a sé. Si avvicinò ai due uomini e li rimproverò per avermi fatto sentire a disagio.

"Stai bene?" mi chiese quando se ne furono andati.

"Sì. Grazie," gli dissi, aspettandomi che tornasse alla festa e ai suoi amici.

"Nessun problema, sono degli idioti. Era ora che qualcuno glielo dicesse. Ti dispiace se resto con te per un po'? È così rumoroso nell'altra stanza, non riesco quasi a sentire i miei pensieri," chiese. Ero sbalordita, annuii semplicemente e cercai di pensare a qualcosa di intelligente da dire. Si prese una birra e me ne portò una anche a me. Non volevo dirgli che non bevevo, così sorseggiai la mia birra cercando di non fissarlo. Era bello, con capelli biondi spettinati in modo disordinato, i suoi occhi azzurri pieni di calore e umorismo. Il suo corpo snello e il viso quasi angelico completavano il tutto. Non potevo credere che stesse passando del tempo con me. Dopo qualche chiacchiera e aver bevuto la sua birra, mi chiese se volevo ballare con lui. Non ballavo, ma non potevo dirgli di no. Prese la mia birra ancora quasi piena e la mise sul bancone. Mi prese per mano e mi portò sulla pista da ballo. Fu il momento più divertente della mia vita. Quando la festa finì, mi accompagnò al mio dormitorio e ci scambiammo i numeri di telefono. Mi ero innamorata di lui prima che la mia testa toccasse il cuscino quella notte.

Tornai alla realtà e sospirai. Allora era stato così, ora era diverso. Presi la penna e mi affrettai a firmare ogni punto segnato con un adesivo rosa su tutti i set di fogli. Posai la penna e mi preparai a un torrente di dolore e tristezza. Non arrivò mai. Sorprendentemente, mi resi conto che non c'era più dolore da provare. Ero diventata insensibile. Presi il telefono, chiamai un corriere e misi i documenti del divorzio in una busta manila. La consegnai al corriere quando arrivò e mi sentii sollevata sapendo che sarebbero arrivati al mio avvocato in un paio d'ore. Per essere sicura che li stesse aspettando, gli mandai anche un messaggio. Mi rispose dicendomi che avevo fatto bene e che ora potevo rilassarmi, tutte le parti difficili erano finite. Ora potevo godermi i benefici di tutto. Risi una risata vuota e andai in cucina, dove presi una bottiglia di vino rosso, la aprii e ne versai una generosa quantità in un bicchiere. Ma poi lo guardai e provai disgusto. Questo non era il meccanismo di coping di cui avevo bisogno. Finì nello scarico, insieme all'ultima goccia della bottiglia. Bello, cinquanta euro giù per lo scarico. Stavo iniziando la mia vita indipendente nel migliore dei modi. Dovevo riprendermi e rimettere in carreggiata il resto della mia vita. Avevo fatto un errore, e mi era costato sei anni della mia vita. Poteva andare peggio. Ne ero uscita, avrei avuto una bella somma di denaro per iniziare la mia nuova vita e avevo un piano.

Il giorno dopo il mio avvocato mi chiamò. Come previsto, Simon aveva fatto un'offerta per riacquistare la sua attività da me. Il mio avvocato mi disse che, se avessi avuto un po' di pazienza, avrebbero potuto ottenere un'offerta migliore. Ma io volevo solo che tutto finisse. Non volevo rovinare Simon, anche se sarebbe stato bello. Ero soddisfatta sapendo che avrebbe pagato per la mia nuova vita. La sua offerta originale copriva ciò di cui avevo bisogno. Così dissi al mio avvocato di accettarla e di assicurarsi che l'accordo fosse firmato il più rapidamente possibile. Appena chiusi la chiamata con il mio avvocato, chiamai Wictor.

"Amica del cuore!" esclamò rispondendo.

"Wictor!" dissi con la stessa energia. Wictor era il mio migliore e unico amico/fratello.

"Allora, quali sono le novità?" chiese.

"È tutto finito. Ho firmato l'accordo di divorzio ieri e oggi 'Colui che non deve essere nominato' ha inviato un'offerta per l'attività. Ho accettato," gli dissi.

"Brava ragazza!" mi disse. "E adesso?"

"Adesso aspetterò che i soldi siano nel mio conto e l'accordo sia firmato. Poi prenderò il mio migliore amico e andremo a cercare il posto perfetto per la mia pasticceria," gli dissi.

"Buona liberazione e che tu possa vivere felice e contenta. Come tuo migliore amico, sarò a tua disposizione. Fammi solo sapere l'ora e il luogo e porterò lo champagne per festeggiare quando troveremo il posto perfetto."

"Grazie, ti voglio bene."

"Ti voglio bene anch'io, tesoro." La chiamata mi aveva fatto sentire meglio. Wictor mi faceva sempre sentire meglio. Per tanto tempo non sapevo se sarei arrivata a questo punto, quindi non mi permetteva di sperare troppo. Ma ora, potevo iniziare a pianificare. Non era stata una mia idea far mettere a Simon la sua attività a mio nome. In effetti, mi era sembrato strano quando me lo aveva proposto per la prima volta. Ma come sempre, aveva inventato delle scuse mezze convincenti e poi mi aveva confuso, facendomi pensare che i miei dubbi fossero sciocchi, che non sapevo di cosa stavo parlando e infine che era ferito dal fatto che pensassi così poco di lui. Funzionava, funzionava sempre prima che vedessi chi era veramente. Non ero ancora sicura del perché l'avesse fatto. Certo, c'erano dei benefici fiscali, ma sembrava troppo rischioso solo per pagare meno tasse. In realtà, non mi importava. Perché significava che dopo il divorzio, ero diventata l'unica proprietaria delle sue attività. Non le volevo, ma Simon sì. Erano il suo orgoglio e la sua gioia. E così erano diventate il mio modo per ottenere ciò di cui avevo bisogno da lui, denaro. Lo vedevo come un risarcimento per tutto quello che mi aveva fatto passare, per tutte le cicatrici che aveva lasciato sul mio cuore e sulla mia anima. Lui avrebbe riavuto i suoi "bambini" e io avrei ottenuto i mezzi per creare la mia nuova vita e seguire il mio sogno. La parte migliore, beh quasi la parte migliore, era stata vedere la faccia della mia ex-suocera quando si era resa conto che avrei ottenuto l'attività grazie al contratto prematrimoniale che mi aveva fatto firmare. Era stata un vero incubo durante il nostro matrimonio. Era lei che insisteva che fossi una cacciatrice di dote, interessata solo ai soldi del suo "bambino" e aveva insistito per farci firmare un contratto prematrimoniale che stabiliva che ciò che possedevano sarebbe rimasto loro proprietà e non sarebbe stato considerato come beni coniugali. Aveva tenuto i loro soldi al sicuro, ma aveva anche significato che io avrei tenuto le sue attività. In un insolito slancio di coraggio, avevo ringraziato Mandy per aver insistito sul contratto prematrimoniale. Lo sguardo che mi aveva dato valeva quasi quanto i soldi che avrei ottenuto da suo figlio. Sorrisi tra me e me, versai un bicchiere di succo e presi un cupcake che avevo fatto prima e mi sedetti al tavolo nel mio piccolo monolocale. Presi il mio iPad e iniziai a lavorare su un piano aziendale. Stava davvero accadendo, ero finalmente libera e il mio sogno stava per diventare realtà.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

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.

From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
