Chapter 1

Gabriella

1º de abril de 2023—era para ser um dia normal, talvez até um pouco divertido com as típicas pegadinhas do Dia da Mentira. Eu estava no meu dormitório, terminando alguns deveres, quando tudo ficou escuro. As luzes piscavam e, a princípio, pensei que fosse apenas outra brincadeira. Todos pensaram. Meus amigos e eu rimos, assumindo que era só o governo mexendo com a gente, fazendo alguma piada elaborada. Mas, à medida que os minutos se transformaram em horas, a realidade começou a se instalar.

O dia tinha começado como qualquer outro. O campus estava vibrando com a energia da primavera, e a conversa usual sobre os exames iminentes era abafada pela antecipação das pegadinhas inofensivas do Dia da Mentira. Lembro-me de sentir um alívio ao voltar para o meu dormitório depois de uma manhã exaustiva de aulas, pensando que finalmente poderia relaxar e colocar os deveres em dia. O sol ainda estava alto no céu, projetando longas sombras pelo pátio, e as risadas dos estudantes ecoavam pelos antigos prédios de tijolos. Era uma tarde perfeita.

Eu estava na minha mesa, cercada por livros e anotações, o suave zumbido do meu laptop era o único som no quarto. A tarefa em que eu estava trabalhando era tediosa, mas me mantinha focada. Lá fora, eu podia ouvir o murmúrio distante de vozes e ocasionalmente uma explosão de risadas enquanto as pessoas seguiam com seu dia. Tudo estava normal—até que não estava mais.

Aconteceu tão de repente que, a princípio, eu nem percebi o que estava acontecendo. A luz do teto piscou uma vez, duas vezes, e depois apagou, me deixando olhando para a tela escurecida do meu laptop. Meu primeiro pensamento foi que alguém estava pregando uma peça. Afinal, era o Dia da Mentira, e o campus era famoso por suas piadas elaboradas. Revirei os olhos, meio esperando que as luzes voltassem, talvez acompanhadas de algum anúncio no sistema de som declarando que todos éramos tolos. Mas as luzes não voltaram. O quarto permaneceu escuro, o silêncio agora opressivo.

Meu celular vibrou na mesa, a tela se iluminando com mensagens de amigos.

“Isso é algum tipo de piada?”

“A energia acabou na biblioteca também. Alguém sabe o que está acontecendo?”

“Gente, acho que algo está realmente errado…”

Olhei pela janela, esperando ver o campus banhado pelo brilho quente das luzes da noite. Mas não havia nada—apenas uma escuridão inquietante se estendendo pelo horizonte. O zumbido familiar da vida no campus havia cessado, substituído por um silêncio tenso, quase assustador. Era como se o mundo tivesse de repente prendido a respiração e agora estivesse esperando algo acontecer.

Os corredores do dormitório estavam cheios de sons de confusão. Portas rangiam ao se abrir enquanto os estudantes saíam, seus rostos iluminados pela luz fraca de seus celulares. As conversas se sobrepunham, vozes tingidas de risadas nervosas.

“O que está acontecendo?”

“Você acha que isso faz parte de alguma pegadinha?”

“Isso não pode ser real…”

Nos reunimos na sala comum, onde algumas velas lançavam sombras tremeluzentes nas paredes. A atmosfera era surreal, uma mistura de excitação nervosa e medo crescente. Brincamos sobre o apocalipse, tentando mascarar nosso desconforto com humor, mas estava claro que ninguém realmente acreditava que isso era apenas uma pegadinha. À medida que os minutos se arrastavam, as piadas morriam, substituídas pela crescente percepção de que isso não era um apagão comum.

Quando a monitora finalmente apareceu, sua postura geralmente calma substituída por uma expressão tensa, todos ficamos em silêncio. Ela nos disse para ficarmos onde estávamos, que a universidade estava investigando a situação. “Provavelmente é apenas uma queda de energia localizada,” ela disse, tentando nos tranquilizar, mas seus olhos a traíam. Eu podia ver o medo ali, a incerteza.

Uma hora se passou, depois outra. A escuridão lá fora ficou mais densa, pressionando contra as janelas como se fosse uma coisa viva. Continuei verificando meu celular, mas não havia novas informações. O site da universidade estava fora do ar, e todas as ligações que tentei fazer não conectavam. Até a linha de serviços de emergência estava morta. Um nó de ansiedade apertou no meu peito. O que quer que estivesse acontecendo, era grande. Maior do que qualquer coisa que pudéssemos imaginar.

À medida que a noite caía, a cidade se tornou um vazio negro, engolindo os últimos vestígios de luz. A lua pendia baixa no céu, uma lasca de prata na vasta escuridão, oferecendo pouco conforto. As ruas que normalmente eram movimentadas agora estavam assustadoramente quietas. Mas essa quietude não durou muito.

Da janela do meu dormitório, pude ver os primeiros sinais de pânico se instalando. Um grupo de pessoas corria pela rua, suas vozes elevadas em gritos frenéticos. Um alarme de carro disparou em algum lugar distante, um som chocante que só aumentava a sensação crescente de desconforto. A quietude da noite foi quebrada pelo som de vidro se quebrando. Meu coração disparou enquanto eu observava uma pequena multidão se reunir do lado de fora de uma loja de conveniência, seus rostos torcidos de medo e desespero. Era como assistir ao desmoronamento da civilização em tempo real.

Dentro do dormitório, a tensão era palpável. Alguns estudantes se amontoavam, sussurrando sobre o que poderia estar acontecendo, suas teorias ficando mais selvagens a cada minuto que passava. Outros andavam pelos corredores, sua ansiedade se manifestando em movimentos inquietos. A monitora tentava manter todos calmos, mas até ela estava perdendo a compostura à medida que a situação se arrastava sem solução à vista.

As horas passaram em um borrão. A sala comum, antes cheia de conversas nervosas, ficou quieta à medida que a realidade da nossa situação se instalava. Estávamos isolados—completamente isolados do mundo exterior. Sem eletricidade, sem comunicação, não tínhamos como saber o que estava acontecendo além das paredes do nosso dormitório. Parecia que estávamos à deriva em um mar de escuridão, cada um de nós uma ilha em si.

O pânico lá fora aumentou à medida que a noite avançava. Eu podia ouvir tudo—pessoas gritando, o som de objetos pesados sendo jogados, o lamento distante de sirenes que eventualmente se desvaneciam no nada. Era como se a cidade estivesse se desintegrando. De vez em quando, alguém tentava espiar a noite, mas a escuridão densa não oferecia respostas, apenas mais perguntas. O que estava acontecendo lá fora? Até onde esse apagão se espalhou? Era só nossa cidade, ou o mundo inteiro estava mergulhado na escuridão?

Dormir era impossível. Eu estava deitada na minha cama, olhando para o teto, minha mente correndo com pensamentos sobre o que o amanhã poderia trazer. Minha colega de quarto, Julia, estava encolhida na cama dela, seu rosto iluminado pelo brilho fraco de uma lanterna. Ela havia parado de tentar contatar sua família horas atrás, as falhas repetidas drenando sua esperança. Trocamos um olhar, ambas com medo demais para expressar nossos temores.

Quando a primeira luz do amanhecer começou a filtrar pela janela, percebi com um sentimento de afundamento que nada voltaria ao normal. A energia ainda estava fora, e o mundo fora do nosso dormitório havia se tornado um lugar hostil e imprevisível. Estávamos sozinhas, cortadas de tudo o que conhecíamos. O futuro, antes tão certo, agora se estendia diante de nós como um vazio escuro e interminável.

O mundo havia escurecido, e nada jamais seria o mesmo novamente.

“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.

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.
