Introduction

Eu sou um garçom comum, mas consigo ver o destino das pessoas, incluindo os Shifters. Como todas as crianças, fui testado para magia quando tinha apenas alguns dias de vida. Como minha linhagem específica é desconhecida e minha magia é indescritível, fui marcado com um delicado padrão em espiral ao redor do meu braço direito superior.

Eu tenho magia, como os testes mostraram, mas nunca se encaixou em nenhuma espécie de Magia conhecida.

Não consigo cuspir fogo como um Shifter de dragão, ou amaldiçoar pessoas que me irritam como Bruxas. Não consigo fazer poções como um Alquimista ou seduzir pessoas como uma Succubus. Não quero parecer ingrato pelo poder que tenho, é interessante e tudo mais, mas realmente não faz muita diferença e na maioria das vezes é praticamente inútil. Minha habilidade mágica especial é a capacidade de ver os fios do destino.

A maior parte da vida já é irritante o suficiente para mim, e o que nunca me ocorreu é que meu companheiro é um rude e pomposo incômodo. Ele é um Alfa e irmão gêmeo do meu amigo.
---------------------------------------
"O que você está fazendo? Esta é a minha casa, você não pode simplesmente entrar!" Tento manter minha voz firme, mas quando ele se vira e me encara com seus olhos dourados, eu recuo. O olhar que ele me lança é imperioso e automaticamente baixo os olhos para o chão, como é meu hábito. Então me forço a olhar para cima novamente. Ele não percebe que estou olhando para cima, pois já desviou o olhar de mim. Ele está sendo rude, recuso-me a mostrar que ele está me assustando, mesmo que ele definitivamente esteja. Ele olha ao redor e, depois de perceber que o único lugar para sentar é a pequena mesa com suas duas cadeiras, ele aponta para ela.

"Sente-se", ele ordena. Eu o encaro. Quem ele pensa que é para me dar ordens assim? Como alguém tão insuportável pode ser minha alma gêmea? Talvez eu ainda esteja dormindo. Eu belisco meu braço e meus olhos lacrimejam um pouco pela dor da picada.

Chapter 1

“Por favor, para, não lamba aí...” Abri os olhos atordoada e olhei para baixo enquanto o homem lambia e acariciava entre meus seios. Vendo minha reação, ele riu suavemente e passou os dentes levemente pelo ponto no meu peito, e eu não pude evitar soltar um gemido pegajoso, “Mmmm...”. Não conseguia enxergar o rosto dele, de tão perto que estava, tentando achar seus olhos de novo... Inconscientemente, enrosquei meus braços ao redor do pescoço do homem e curvei meu corpo para cima, meus seios cheios roçando contra seu peitoral sólido, fazendo sua respiração ficar ainda mais ofegante.

Ele mergulhou a cabeça entre minhas pernas, chupando e lambendo com vontade. Eu podia sentir a dor na minha barriga ficando mais forte. “Quer isso?” A voz do homem, rouca e baixa de desejo, soou no meu ouvido, cortando meu lóbulo enquanto ele falava, mexendo com todo o meu corpo. Com um suspiro leve, murmurei pra ele, “Hum...”.

Seu pau tinha o tamanho perfeito para preencher minha boceta e eu podia sentir ele se movendo para dentro e para fora. Misturado com suspiros, sua voz mais uma vez soou nos meus ouvidos, “Eu amo...”

“Trim, trim, trim,” o despertador tocou de repente e o homem na minha frente desapareceu. “Puta merda,” murmurei enquanto via minha calcinha encharcada. Apenas mais um sonho, e como antes, ele aparecia na minha cama sempre que eu dormia profundamente. O despertador interrompeu meu bom sonho e também significava que um novo dia havia chegado e era hora de ir trabalhar novamente.

O Borderline é um dos poucos lugares na cidade que aceita tanto clientes normais quanto Magics, então, apesar das longas horas, do pagamento mal adequado e do uniforme desconfortável, é perfeito para mim como um dos únicos lugares que contratam alguém que é marcada mas não tem habilidades mágicas comercializáveis.

Como todas as crianças, fui testada para magia quando tinha apenas alguns dias de vida. Como minha linhagem é um mistério e minha magia não tem identificação, fui marcada com um padrão delicado e espiralado ao redor do meu braço direito superior. Embora rotular todos de acordo com sua espécie possa parecer preocupante, na verdade salva muitas vidas.

Humanos normais compõem cerca de cinquenta por cento da população em grandes cidades como esta. Algumas magias são fáceis de identificar. Shifters herdam suas habilidades de seus pais, então são marcados como Shifters desde o nascimento em seus braços com marcas variadas dependendo da espécie individual.

Bruxas e Feiticeiros também herdam seus poderes de seus pais e são facilmente identificáveis. Pessoas como eu, no entanto, são mais difíceis de categorizar. Fui deixada do lado de fora do hospital para seres mágicos quando tinha apenas algumas horas de vida. Após dias de testes para confirmar que eu não era de nenhuma das espécies conhecidas, mas que de fato tinha magia, fui marcada como desconhecida.

Minha habilidade mágica especial é a capacidade de ver os fios do destino.

Quando as pessoas pensam nos fios do destino, logo imaginam o fio vermelho que liga elas ao par destinado, e por aí vai. Sim, eu posso vê-los. Mas há outros fios também, de cores diferentes com significados diferentes.

Existem fios azuis conectando pessoas que parecem representar que o par está destinado a ser amigo. Isso não significa que eles não terão outros amigos ou algo assim. Apenas que aquelas pessoas específicas estão destinadas a se encontrar e que eventualmente se tornarão amigos próximos.

Outro fio é o preto. Este aparece entre pessoas que estão destinadas a ser inimigas. Eu costumo evitar pessoas que exibem muitos desses fios.

Se alguém tem muitos inimigos destinados, provavelmente não é o tipo de pessoa com quem quero estar por perto de qualquer maneira. Ocasionalmente, encontro outros fios, mas nem sempre sei o que significam.Suspeito que os fios verdes sejam para relações de mentor/mentorado destinadas. Frequentemente os vejo conectando jovens a idosos, alunos a professores ou crianças a avós.

O único outro fio de que tenho quase certeza é o branco. Raramente vejo pessoas com fios brancos, e quando vejo, tendem a ser médicos, bombeiros ou outros tipos de altruístas. Minha melhor suposição é que eles estão destinados a salvar as pessoas às quais estão ligados pelos fios brancos. Vejo esses fios constantemente e é uma bagunça confusa, todos os fios entrelaçados uns nos outros. Ninguém jamais tem mais de um fio vermelho, no entanto. Uma alma gêmea por pessoa, sem necessidade de ser ganancioso.

Tenho quase certeza de que todos têm um fio vermelho, mesmo que ainda não tenham conhecido a pessoa. Também consigo perceber se as pessoas cujo destino é previsto pelo fio já se encontraram. Se o fio é leve e flutuante, como se estivesse preso em uma brisa, sei que ainda não se encontraram e solidificaram a relação. Se é mais sólido e o fio está firme, sei que já se encontraram.

Agora, isso pode parecer uma habilidade legal. Realmente não é tão incrível. O destino sabe o que está fazendo e não precisa de nenhuma ajuda minha, então basicamente tudo o que posso fazer é observar os fios e julgar as pessoas silenciosamente por coisas que elas nem sabem que existem. Por conta dos fios, me acham meio avoada no trabalho. As mangas do meu uniforme são longas, cobrindo minha marca. No trabalho, mantenho-a coberta e, enquanto as pessoas não olharem muito de perto para mim, geralmente consigo passar por uma humana comum, o que torna servir clientes humanos muito mais fácil do que servir os Mágicos, que tendem a ser esnobes com os humanos. Tenho a pele bastante pálida e sou bem mediana em altura e físico.

Uma tosse atrás de mim me tira dos meus devaneios e quase tropeço ao me virar de repente nos meus saltos altos. Definitivamente não tenho a graça que alguns Mágicos parecem ter de berço. Estremeço ligeiramente sob o olhar severo do meu gerente de turno, Anthony. Devo ter parado por mais tempo do que pensei. Endireito as costas e pego a bandeja de pratos sujos que havia colocado no chão um minuto atrás e continuo meu caminho para a cozinha para trocá-la por uma bandeja de comida para entregar na mesa vinte. Estou colocando o último copo de vinho na frente de um grupo de Bruxas que estão no meio de sua 'noite das garotas' mensal quando noto pela primeira vez um fio azul flutuando suavemente do meu próprio peito.

Sigo o fio com os olhos. Ele está levando para fora da porta do Borderline e para a rua. Anseio segui-lo e conhecer quem quer que esteja ligado a ele. Devido à minha marca estranha, nunca tive bons amigos, pelo menos não desde que era criança. Um amigo destinado é praticamente meu sonho se tornando realidade. Por um momento, considero abandonar as últimas horas do meu turno e ir mesmo assim. Mas é uma noite de sábado e estamos apenas na metade do horário de pico do jantar. Eu perderia meu emprego, do qual realmente preciso. Respiro fundo e me lembro de que o fio significa que é destino. Vou conhecer e fazer amizade com a pessoa eventualmente, mesmo que eu não vá procurá-la. Resigno-me a esperar e espero que a pessoa não demore muito para me encontrar. Estou solitária há muito tempo.

Na verdade, estou ansiosa pelo meu fio vermelho mais do que qualquer outra coisa. Faz muito tempo desde que saí em um encontro. Mesmo que eu encontre algum prazer nesse sonho de vez em quando. Às vezes me pergunto se esse homem é mesmo real. Estou esperando meu fio vermelho chegar já faz um tempo.

I was here to prove myself—

And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.
Aiden

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
