Chapter 1
alguns dias antes
de eu cair na mentira
Você nunca esteve ao meu lado
Me engane uma vez, me engane duas
Você é a morte ou o paraíso?
Agora você nunca me verá chorar
Simplesmente não há tempo para morrer
No Time to Die – Billie Eilish
beatrice
Não o vejo há três dias, é um alívio bem-vindo de uma calma distorcida no meio da tempestade, presa no porão como um animal, no pequeno quarto com um armário e uma mesa, alguns panos jogados para ele dormir. Se pudesse agradecer-lhes pela clemência dada, seria pelo fato de ter um banheiro e não precisar sentir o cheiro da própria urina. Sobrevivendo mais a déjà vus do que à vida nos últimos anos, um ciclo interminável de dor e desgraça.
Nunca imaginei que a vida pudesse ser tão ruim, quando fui apresentada a Stefano sabia que ele não era um homem bom, afinal, que homem bom na máfia seria... E por mais ingênua que eu fosse ou tentasse ser, ainda tinha uma pequena esperança de ter um bom casamento, a vida de uma rainha ao lado do próximo don, essa esperança foi extinta logo no início do nosso casamento, há sete anos. Vi os sonhos sendo mortos por esse homem todos os dias e em cada uma de suas decisões, na frente dos outros ninguém poderia imaginar do que ele é capaz, a escuridão se esconde atrás dos rostos mais bonitos. O lugar escuro, úmido, sem janelas, escondido dentro da nossa própria casa, construído apenas para que ele pudesse realizar todos os seus desejos de ter um prisioneiro, alguém para descarregar sua fúria, fazer você implorar e quebrar de tantas maneiras diferentes.
Presa dentro de seus próprios desejos, uma mente fervilhando de ideias loucas, com um corpo machucado implorando por algum descanso e um pouco de cuidado.
Sempre sendo o marido brilhante na frente dos outros, na frente dos pais, eu bufava sabendo que Don Sartori nunca puniria o único herdeiro por treinar sua esposa, há pessoas. As dores espalhadas pelo corpo só mostram o quanto ele seria capaz de fazer os negócios escusos, suas humilhações diárias, tudo isso em troca de quê?
Essa é minha vida, ser a prostituta de luxo de Stefano Sartori, esposa seria um adjetivo muito inadequado considerando as opções. Somos isso, ventres férteis, vaginas douradas nascidas para casar com os herdeiros, vendidas para formar alianças.
Hoje a morte parece mais atraente do que continuar vivendo assim...
A primeira surra veio depois de uma festa de família, Stefano disse que notou meus olhos em um dos capos.
hmff
Como se eu pudesse olhar para qualquer lugar acima da minha cabeça sem ser uma traição.
São anos sendo molestada, estuprada e espancada por um homem que afirma me amar, um homem que comprou nosso casamento exigindo sua aquisição antes mesmo de ser maior de idade, a fixação e obsessão desse homem por mim é completamente doentia, na verdade, ele é uma alma doente que todos os dias alimenta meu ódio.
Aos dezesseis anos, na minha lua de mel, descobri que havia me casado com o próprio diabo.
Entrei no quarto com um pouco de medo, seria nossa primeira noite de casamento, meu marido estava logo atrás de mim.
De repente, estava no chão com as mãos dele enroladas no meu cabelo, senti os fios sendo arrancados, sendo puxada pelo quarto até ser jogada na cama como uma boneca.
- Tenho um presente de casamento para você, esposa - Sentindo meu corpo tremer, tentei seguir os movimentos ao redor do quarto.
Suas mãos vieram sobre minha bochecha de maneira terna, enxugando as lágrimas.
"Shhh princesa, prometo tentar não te machucar." Seus olhos brilhavam.
"Você já me machucou, marido," respondi em um sussurro.
'Se você não tivesse passado o casamento inteiro olhando para um dos De Angelis, isso não teria acontecido.
A confusão tomou conta da minha mente, eu não olhei para ninguém além dele, em um terno cinza destacando seus olhos azul-mar.
Eu só podia observar e idolatrar meu marido.
Sua mão esquerda apertando meu pescoço roubou o ar.
"Não tente negar, eu vi." Aproximando o rosto, ele lambeu minha bochecha e disse no meu ouvido. "E por isso vou te punir, para que aprenda a ser uma boa esposa."
Coloquei a cabeça entre os joelhos tentando escapar das lembranças, as primeiras vezes foram as que mais doeram, as que destruíram um coração inocente e roubaram minha alma.
Com o passar do tempo e suas crueldades piorando, meu corpo se acostumou, aprendendo a lidar com a dor, obedecendo seus comandos como o cachorro treinado que ele gosta de chamar. Em nenhum momento nada é suficiente para aplacar a fúria e o ciúme inexplicável diante de suas próprias atitudes.
Tentei fechar os olhos para escapar, tentando permanecer no presente, mesmo que fosse doloroso. A única coisa que consegui fazer foi sofrer com as lembranças.
Suas mãos rasgaram cada parte do vestido, e quando restou apenas a lingerie minúscula, seus olhos brilharam.
"É isso que você queria dar para De Angelis, esposa?" Balancei a cabeça em negação.
-
Só tive olhos para você a noite toda, marido - disse exasperada, sentindo o nó no meu estômago crescer.
-
Se continuar mentindo, o castigo vai piorar - soltei um soluço sem saber o que fazer - Sente-se com as pernas para fora da cama.
Obedeci suas ordens sentindo o medo se agarrar a cada canto do meu coração.
- É isso que esposas desobedientes recebem - Ele havia tirado algo de uma mala no canto do quarto e quando abriu as mãos tinha uma bola vermelha e uma tira de couro.
Acariciando minha bochecha, beijando minha testa, ele se abaixou ao nível dos meus olhos.
"Lembre-se, esposa, isso é sua culpa." Suas mãos vieram com a tira fechando ao redor do meu pescoço.
Em um aperto firme, tirando o ar dos meus pulmões, tentei colocar minhas mãos em seus braços sem efeito no meu corpo com força tripla.
Sua mão pressionou meu queixo forçando-me a abrir a boca, dando espaço para a bola vermelha, inibindo todas as minhas palavras, ele fechou o aparato atrás do cabelo agora emaranhado.
Em um movimento rápido, ele me virou de costas sem nenhum cuidado.
Ouvi um som metálico assim que fui puxada pelo pescoço, tentei agarrar a cama, mas nada parecia ser capaz de parar. Fui jogada no chão e presa por algemas no pé de madeira da cama, sentindo-me como um animal, ele segurou meu pescoço forçando-me a levantar o rosto e cuspiu.
Eu estava inerte assistindo ele tirar suas próprias roupas, chutando quando ele puxou minhas pernas e sentindo-me como uma boneca ao ser virada de costas com suas pernas espalhando meus joelhos, pulsos doendo pelas algemas e o colar cortando minha respiração, senti minha própria saliva escorrendo pelos cantos da boca.
Ele vai ser um bom marido, é só um ataque de ciúmes.
Gritei algo indecifrável enquanto a dor da penetração se enraizava dos meus dedos dos pés até meu cabelo sendo arrancado por ele, parecia que meu corpo estava sendo rasgado ao meio. Stefano não esperou, ele simplesmente tomou. E quando ele terminou, pensei que não poderia fazer pior.
Minhas pernas doloridas mal se sustentavam enquanto ele me empurrava de joelhos e os chicotes começaram a roubar o pouco ar que me restava. Ele me tomou novamente ao final de trinta chicotadas.
Em algum momento perdi a consciência, acordei na cama rezando para que fosse apenas um pesadelo, até entrar no banheiro e ver os cortes na minha pele, o sangue seco entre minhas coxas e os pulsos roxos.
Antes mesmo de começar a chorar, a porta do banheiro se abriu e lá estavam os olhos furiosos do meu marido.
"Não feche a porta para mim, ouviu." Balancei a cabeça, incapaz de falar.

After One Night with the Alpha
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.

An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
