Introduction

Tenía un plan para el verano después de que terminaran mis clases en la universidad. Necesitaba un trabajo porque hace poco perdí mi apartamento y el mío. No puedo quedarme con mi hermano para siempre. Necesito recuperar mi espacio, y estoy seguro de que él también necesita el suyo.

Pero todo eso está a punto de cambiar cuando Paxton, el mejor amigo de mi hermano, venga a pasar el verano y mis planes se vayan por la borda.

Para el resto del mundo, Paxton es una estrella de rock millonaria que es un chico malo que pierde el tiempo y siempre se mete en problemas que no debería tener. Para mí, es el tipo que siempre estuvo aquí hasta que se fue y se olvidó de mí. Mi primer enamoramiento. Mi primer amor cuando era adolescente, aunque sabía que nunca sería mío. En aquel entonces, era un buen tipo con un gran corazón y alguien que haría cualquier cosa por cualquiera. Se había convertido en una sombra de sí mismo.

Lo que no esperaba era que un verano lo cambiara todo. No esperaba que Paxton me viera bajo una luz diferente. Me digo que lo he superado y que lo he hecho durante mucho tiempo, pero las cosas cambian cuando empezamos a pasar más tiempo juntos. Veo salir adelante al viejo, al verdadero él, del que me enamoré todos esos años, pero nada de eso importa porque nunca puede pasar nada, no importa lo cerca que estemos. Mi hermano lo mataría. Nunca trabajaríamos. Solo soy una chica nerd normal a la que le encanta perderse en el mundo de la ficción. Y alguien como yo nunca debería estar con alguien como Paxton. Nunca encajaría en su nuevo mundo. Nunca estaría en el mío.

Chapter 1

McKenna

Llego a casa desde la universidad, bueno, a la casa de mi hermano. Actualmente estoy quedándome con él porque perdí mi apartamento y trabajo hace un par de meses, y él me acogió. Sé que nunca estaré atrapada mientras él esté cerca. Me crió desde que tenía doce años con la ayuda de mi abuela después de que nuestra madre falleciera y mi padre se fuera. Lamentablemente, mi abuela falleció cuando tenía catorce años, y solo quedamos Carter y yo. Él tenía veinte, pero ni siquiera lo pensó dos veces para cuidarme. Renunció a sus veintes para cuidarme. Algo por lo que siempre estaré agradecida.

Me ofreció comprarme un apartamento, pero le dije que no. No podía aceptar ese tipo de dinero de él, así que mi otra opción fue mudarme con él. Ayudo en lo que puedo ya que el trabajo que tengo ahora paga mucho menos que mi último trabajo porque es solo a tiempo parcial. Espero poder mudarme en unos meses. Siento que ya le he robado mucho de su vida. No quiero que tenga que renunciar a nada más por mí. Sí, tengo veintidós años, pero a veces él lo olvida y me cuida como lo hacía cuando era adolescente.

He terminado las clases por el verano, así que espero encontrar un segundo trabajo o un nuevo puesto a tiempo completo para ayudar con mi fondo para el apartamento. Al estacionar en la entrada, noté un coche desconocido. Carter debe tener a alguien en casa. Si fuera una mujer, me habría enviado un mensaje para avisarme, y yo habría llegado más tarde para darles algo de privacidad. Debe ser un amigo o algo relacionado con el trabajo. Mi hermano tiene su propio negocio.

Agarro mis cosas y entro. Me quedo congelada en el momento en que entro por la puerta principal cuando una risa familiar resuena por la casa. No, no puede ser. Él no puede estar aquí.

—McKenna, ¿puedes venir aquí, por favor? —llama Carter.

Estoy segura de que estoy imaginando cosas. Respiro hondo y me dirijo a la sala de estar. Parece que no estoy imaginando cosas. El mejor amigo de mi hermano, Paxton, está sentado en el sofá junto a él. Para mí, él es el mejor amigo de mi hermano, pero para todos los demás, es una de las mayores estrellas de rock del mundo.

El hombre al que no he visto en unos seis años. Mi primer amor. No, fue más que un amor. Sí, era joven, pero él fue mi primer amor, aunque sabía que nunca tendría una oportunidad con él. Paxton y Carter han permanecido cercanos desde que se fue, pero yo ni siquiera he oído hablar de él. Estuvo allí para Paxton y para mí cuando pasamos por algunos de los momentos más difíciles de nuestras vidas, pero luego desapareció para perseguir su sueño, y creo que se olvidó de que yo existía.

Me quedo quieta y mi respiración se entrecorta en mi garganta en el momento en que mis ojos se posan en Paxton. Sigue siendo tan condenadamente guapo. Su cabello oscuro es más largo de lo que solía ser. Sus ojos oscuros, casi negros, todavía parecen contener todo el mundo en ellos. Noto el piercing en su ceja sobre su ojo izquierdo y el de su labio también. Ha estado haciendo ejercicio, eso es seguro, su pecho y brazos son más grandes. Sí, he visto algunos videos y fotos de él en línea porque es imposible no hacerlo ya que está en todas partes. Simplemente no les he prestado mucha atención porque me tomó tanto tiempo superarlo, lo cual era patético considerando que nunca fue mío.

—Hola, Kenna, ha pasado mucho tiempo —dice Paxton y me muestra su hermosa sonrisa.

Trago saliva con dificultad cuando lo hace. Su sonrisa siempre fue una debilidad para mí. Estoy segura de que es lo mismo para muchas personas.

—¿Qué haces aquí? —suelto de golpe.

Él se ríe y se levanta, caminando hacia mí, alto y confiado.

—Porque te extrañaba, hoyuelos —sonríe.

Dios mío, no he escuchado ese apodo en tanto tiempo. Él es quien me lo dio porque, aparentemente, tengo hoyuelos cuando sonrío.

—¡No me llames así! Ya no soy una niña —protesto.

Paxton me mira de arriba abajo—. No, has crecido muy bien, Kenna.

Kenna es otro apodo que solo Paxton me ha llamado. No me gusta. Nadie más me llama así, pero él siempre lo hizo.

—En serio, ¿por qué estás aquí?

La molestia se nota en mi voz. No debería estar molesta con él, pero por alguna razón, lo estoy.

Paxton se rasca la nuca, un hábito nervioso que siempre ha tenido—. Necesitaba alejarme de todo por un tiempo. Carter dijo que puedo pasar el verano aquí con ustedes.

He notado por lo que he visto en línea o lo que Carter ha dicho sobre Paxton que ha estado metiéndose en muchos problemas en los últimos años. Bebiendo, drogas, fiestas, peleas, siendo grosero con la gente, y estoy segura de que lo atraparon con una trabajadora sexual en algún momento. No tengo idea de qué le ha pasado porque nunca fue así. Sí, le gustaba pasar un buen rato, y le gustaban las chicas, pero no al extremo que parece ahora. Es una pena porque solía ser uno de los buenos con un corazón de oro y respetaba a la gente. Lo único que puedo pensar es que la fama se ha vuelto demasiado para él.

—Está bien —me encojo de hombros.

Paxton me mira extrañado—. En serio, no te he visto en seis años, ¿y eso es todo lo que tienes que decir?

—¿Qué esperas que diga?

—¿Puedo al menos recibir un abrazo? —pregunta, sus grandes ojos de ciervo mirándome.

Extiende sus brazos. Dudo, pero me acerco, y él me envuelve en un abrazo fuerte. Dios, huele bien. No, no puedo volver a este camino. Devuelvo el abrazo, y cuando lo hago, el suyo parece apretarse más.

—No puedo respirar —susurro.

Él se ríe y se aparta—. Lo siento, hoyuelos.

Lo miro con furia—. Te dije que no me llames así.

Una sonrisa se dibuja en sus labios—. Lo sé, pero no soy muy bueno escuchando.

Pongo los ojos en blanco—. Llámame así de nuevo y lo lamentarás —resoplo.

Paxton se acerca a mí—. Maldición, ¿cuándo te volviste tan peleona? La última vez que te vi, ni siquiera le hubieras dicho "buu" a un ratón.

—La gente cambia. Tú, de todas las personas, deberías saber eso —respondo con brusquedad.

—Kenna, ¿por qué pareces enojada conmigo? ¿He hecho algo para molestarte?

Parece confundido y herido por mi frialdad hacia él.

—No. Me voy a mi habitación.

Me doy la vuelta y me alejo antes de que tenga la oportunidad de decirme otra palabra. Subo corriendo a mi habitación, cierro la puerta y me apoyo en ella. Dejo caer mi bolso al suelo y gimo. ¿Por qué estoy tan molesta con él? No había necesidad de ser tan grosera. Me disculparé con él más tarde. Siento que tal vez tengo dolor acumulado porque se fue, y tengo problemas de abandono después de perder a todos los demás. No es su culpa. Se fue a perseguir sus sueños y a hacer una vida mejor para sí mismo, lo cual logró.

Gimo de frustración conmigo misma y me tiro en la cama. Necesito un poco de tiempo para procesar que él esté aquí. Debo acostumbrarme si planea quedarse con nosotros todo el verano.

He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."

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.

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.
