Chapter 1

Freitag, 20. Juli 2018; 21 Uhr

(Coles Perspektive)

Ich wache plötzlich mit einem Keuchen auf und falle fast von meinem Sitz, als die glatte schwarze Straße in die knirschenden Vibrationen eines Schotterwegs übergeht. Ich blinzle mehrmals und kläre meine Augen genug, um das Schild zu sehen: „Willkommen in White Ridge, einer Gated Community“.

„Warte“, keuche ich plötzlich panisch. „Wir sollten zum Black Moon Rudel fahren.“

„Ganz ruhig, Cole. Alles ist in Ordnung.“ Jamies Stimme ist ruhig, aber bestimmt, als er versucht, meine zunehmende Panik zu durchbrechen.

„Nein, es ist nicht in Ordnung. Wir sollten nicht hier sein.“ Ich versuche ihn zu überzeugen.

„Doch, Cole. Delta Ashman hat erklärt, dass der Rat die Vereinbarungen geändert hat. Mitglieder unseres Rudels sind hier, also hat dein Vater gebeten, dass sie uns abholen, und der Rat hat zugestimmt.“

„Das bedeutet, dass er uns nicht abholen wird, bis der Rest nach Hause geschickt wird. Er wird nicht nur zwei Wölfe abholen.“

Ich beginne wirklich in Panik zu geraten, da das Ativan nachgelassen hat und ich voll begreife, was passiert.

„Das wurde besprochen, bevor du Crimson Dawn verlassen hast. Die einzigen Details, die mir gegeben wurden, waren, dich zu unserem Rudel zu transportieren.“

Der Delta auf dem Vordersitz des Vans kommentiert. Ich verstumme, während mein Unbehagen über die Situation wächst. Ich erinnere mich an das Gespräch zwischen dem Alpha und diesem Delta aus einem anderen Rudel als geplant, und ich kämpfe damit, mein plötzliches Unbehagen über die Situation einzuordnen.

Während ich mit den Vereinbarungen auf Alpha Blacks Territorium einverstanden war, schreien meine Instinkte jetzt, dass alles an diesem Transfer falsch ist. Delta Ashman hält langsam vor einem großen Wohnkomplex an, der aus drei Gebäuden besteht, jedes vier Stockwerke hoch, aber der Mangel an Außenbeleuchtung und die Dunkelheit der Nacht verschlucken alle Details des Territoriums. Delta steigt schnell aus dem Van, öffnet den hinteren Teil, bevor er zu den Beifahrertüren geht. Er reißt sie in einer aggressiven Weise auf, die viel harscher ist als das, was er auf Alpha Blacks Territorium gezeigt hatte, was mein Unbehagen noch verstärkt. Jamie schlingt seine Arme um mich, als das klassische Keuchen eines Asthmaanfalls beginnt, und ich weiß, dass es eine schlimme Fahrt wird, da er panikbedingt ist.

„Ich hoffe, die Fahrt hierher war ereignislos?“

Eine andere Stimme spricht direkt vor der Tür.

„Es gab eine kleine Verzögerung beim Start, aber einmal im Van schienen sie sich gut zu beruhigen. Mit der Reaktion des einen auf das Hiersein könnte es jedoch Schwierigkeiten geben, sie aus dem Van zu bekommen.“

„Warum denkst du das?“

Die neue Stimme ist rau und ungeduldig geworden.

„Kommt schon, Jungs, ich habe nicht die ganze Nacht Zeit.“ Er schreit ungeduldig, was es mir noch schwerer macht, mich zu bewegen.

„Ich habe noch nie so viele Sachen für zwei Männer gesehen.“

Er knurrt, während er unsere Sachen aus dem hinteren Teil zieht und auf den Bürgersteig vor dem Wohngebäude wirft.

„Raus!“ schreit er, während er an der Tür vorbeigeht.

Ich kann nicht anders und japse als Reaktion auf seine wachsende Ungeduld.

„Komm schon, Cole, wir müssen raus.“

Jamie sagt fest mit einem Hauch von Nervosität.

„Was ist mit ihnen los?“ Die zweite Stimme spricht wieder.

„Der eine, der Angstprobleme hat, behauptet, sie sollten nicht hier sein. Die Situation wurde ihnen erklärt, bevor sie eingestiegen sind.“

„Wurde ihnen gesagt, dass sie kurzfristige Ergänzungen für den Transport waren?“

„Nein, Alpha Whiteman, diese Information wurde mir nicht gegeben.“

Obwohl seine Antwort gegenüber seinem Alpha ruhiger ist, ist es das letzte Stück für meinen ohnehin schon zerbröckelnden Verstand.

„Nein!“ Ich kann nicht anders, als bei meinem Aufschrei zu ersticken, während sich alles immer weiter verschlimmert.

Ich kämpfe gegen Jamies Griff an, während mein Verstand von Negativität überwältigt wird. Ich war noch nie länger als sechs Monate außerhalb des Territoriums und es ist ungewiss, wie lange ich weg sein werde, wenn das, was ich von Alpha Whiteman gehört habe, stimmt.

„Lass mich das regeln, Alpha. Wir beide wissen, dass du mit Gesundheitsfragen nicht gut umgehen kannst.“

Eine viel freundlichere Stimme durchbricht den dichten Nebel, in den ich geraten bin.

„Da hast du recht. Ich gehe für heute Nacht ins Bett. Ich rufe morgen früh Alpha Redmen an, um Klarheit über die Situation zu bekommen.“

„Sie scheinen sich nahe zu stehen. Haben wir noch Zwei-Zimmer-Wohnungen frei?“

„Ja, Beta Greene, 12B im Erdgeschoss ist verfügbar.“

Eine weibliche Stimme wird deutlich.

„Fang an, ihre Sachen in die Wohnung zu bringen. Es klingt, als hätte einer von ihnen einen Asthmaanfall. Wenn ich sie aus dem Van hole, zeige ich dem, dem es gut geht, das Zimmer, während der andere vom Arzt untersucht wird.“

„Ja, Sir.“ Sie spricht, während ich Schritte auf die Tür zukommen höre.

Ich bin schockiert, bewege mich aber nicht aus Jamies Griff, als ich spüre, wie jemand in den Van klettert und sich auf den Sitz hinter uns setzt.

„Ihr beide scheint euch sehr nahe zu stehen, aber ihr seid ein bisschen jung, um schon euren zweiten Chance-Mate zu haben.“

„Wir sind keine Schicksalsgefährten, Sir.“ Jamie beginnt leise zu erklären. „Ich bin sein Schicksals-Beta.“

„Das erklärt viel mehr als meine Annahme. Ich brauche, dass ihr beide aus dem Van aussteigt und ich brauche, dass der junge Alpha hier mir zur Klinik folgt. Wir müssen diesen Asthmaanfall unter Kontrolle bekommen, bevor wir den Rat treffen. Dieses Maß an Angst, am falschen Ort zu sein, ist nicht normal.“

„Nein!“ Ich ersticke an meinem Schrei, als sich meine Lungen noch mehr zusammenziehen. „Nein... Rat... Tests... schmerzhaft... Brauche... nur... Neb... Neb...“

Ich keuche heftig, während ich in Panik gerate. Irgendetwas an diesem Ort fühlt sich einfach nicht richtig an.

„Langsam, Alpha Redmen, ich habe Schwierigkeiten, dich zu verstehen.“

„Er hat Angst, dass der Rat sich einmischt. Sie machen alles nur schlimmer, wenn er nach Hause kommt. Alles, was er will, ist eine Verneblerbehandlung und die Rückkehr zu Crimson Dawn. Er befürchtet, dass sein Vater Alpha Whiteman belogen hat, um uns hier auszusetzen, bis der Rest des Rudels nach Hause geschickt wird.“

„Es tut mir leid zu hören, dass du nicht die Erfahrung mit dem Rat gemacht hast, die du solltest. Ich kann deinen Wunsch respektieren, sie nicht einzubeziehen und dich auf jeden Fall zur Klinik für eine Verneblerbehandlung bringen, aber dich nach Crimson Dawn zurückzubringen, könnte schwierig sein. Wie heißt du, Beta?“

„Ich bin Jamison Williams, aber alle nennen mich Jamie.“

„Okay, Beta Jamie, kannst du helfen, deinen Alpha-Freund aus dem Van zu holen?“

„Werden alle mit ihrem Rang angesprochen? Cole hasst es wirklich, ein Alpha zu sein.“ Jamie sagt traurig.

„Ja. Alpha Whiteman ist ein sehr formeller Alpha und erwartet das Gleiche von allen anderen. Die einzigen Optionen, die Besucher haben, sind, entweder mit ihrem Vor- oder Nachnamen angesprochen zu werden. Es ist wichtig, dass wir uns beeilen, bevor Delta Ashman einen Anfall bekommt. Jetzt, da er den Van entladen hat, wird er ihn in die Garage fahren wollen.“

„Ja, Sir.“

Jamie bestätigt den Befehl, während ich nur nicken kann, bevor ich all meine Kraft darauf verwende, Jamie loszulassen. Es kostet mich alles, meinen Körper über den Sitz zur Tür zu bewegen. Ich falle rückwärts in die Tür des Vans und sitze auf dem Boden, während ich schwer atme.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“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.
