Introduction

"Mi dispiace, signora Parker. Non siamo riusciti a salvare il bambino."

La mia mano istintivamente si posò sullo stomaco. "Quindi... è davvero andato?"

"Il suo corpo indebolito dal cancro non può sostenere la gravidanza. Dobbiamo interromperla, presto," dice il dottore.

Dopo l'intervento, LUI si presentò. "Audrey Sinclair! Come osi prendere questa decisione senza consultarmi?"

Volevo riversare il mio dolore, sentire il suo abbraccio. Ma quando vidi la DONNA accanto a lui, rinunciai.

Senza esitazione, se ne andò con quella donna "fragile". Quel tipo di tenerezza, non l'ho mai sentita.

Tuttavia, non mi importa più di questo dato che non ho più nulla - il mio bambino, il mio amore, e persino... la mia vita.

***

Audrey Sinclair, una povera donna, si innamorò di un uomo che non avrebbe dovuto. Blake Parker, il miliardario più potente di New York, ha tutto ciò che un uomo potrebbe sognare - soldi, potere, influenza - ma una cosa manca: non la ama.

Cinque anni di amore non corrisposto. Tre anni di matrimonio segreto. Una diagnosi che le lascia tre mesi di vita.

Quando la star di Hollywood ritorna dall'Europa, Audrey Sinclair sa che è il momento di porre fine al suo matrimonio senza amore. Ma non capisce - se non la ama, perché ha rifiutato quando lei ha proposto il divorzio? Perché la sta torturando durante questi ultimi tre mesi di vita?

Mentre il tempo scivola via come sabbia in una clessidra, Audrey deve scegliere: morire come signora Parker, o vivere i suoi ultimi giorni in libertà.

Chapter 1

Il punto di vista di Audrey

Le pareti bianche della Mayo Clinic sembravano più fredde del solito oggi. O forse ero solo io, seduta nell'ufficio della dottoressa Evans, fissando lo schermo del mio telefono mentre aspettavo che tornasse con i risultati dei test. Il titolo su Page Six mi fissava: "La star di Hollywood Laurel Rose ritorna a sorpresa, accolta dal più ambito scapolo di NYC."

Il più ambito scapolo. Quasi ridevo a quella definizione. I media non avevano idea che Blake Parker, il golden boy di New York e CEO del Parker Group, fosse sposato da tre anni. Con me, di tutte le persone. Le foto lo mostravano al JFK, mentre la accoglieva con quel sorriso che conoscevo così bene. Quando è stata l'ultima volta che mi ha sorriso così?

Tre mesi. Era tutto ciò che mi restava, secondo la dottoressa Evans. E ora questo. Scorrendo un'altra foto di loro insieme, sembravano proprio la coppia perfetta che tutti dicevano fossero.

"Signora Parker?" La voce della dottoressa Evans mi distolse dai miei pensieri. Non usava mai il mio nome da sposata a meno che non fossimo sole. Per il resto del mondo, ero ancora Audrey Sinclair, la ragazza di campagna scambiata alla nascita e ritornata alla fortuna dei Sinclair a diciotto anni. La moglie segreta non faceva parte della mia storia pubblica.

Alzai lo sguardo, ma sapevo già cosa stava per dire. La gentilezza nei suoi occhi diceva tutto.

"Mi dispiace, signora Parker. Non siamo riusciti a salvare il bambino."

La mia mano andò istintivamente al mio stomaco. "Quindi... è davvero finito?"

"A causa del tuo cancro, il tuo corpo è troppo debole in questo momento." Si fermò, scegliendo attentamente le parole. "Dobbiamo interrompere la gravidanza. Prima è, meglio è."

Annuii, sorprendendomi di quanto mi sentissi calma. Forse dopo cinque anni di amore per Blake Parker, dopo tre anni di un matrimonio che esisteva solo sulla carta, dopo aver appreso che mi restavano solo pochi mesi... forse avevo finalmente esaurito le lacrime.

"Possiamo farlo oggi?"

La dottoressa Evans sgranò gli occhi, sorpresa dalla mia richiesta. "Sì, ma..."

"Senza antidolorifici," la interruppi. "Voglio sentire tutto."

"Audrey, non devi fare questo. Il dolore..."

"Per favore." Incontrai il suo sguardo preoccupato. "Ne ho bisogno."

I corridoi dell'ospedale erano pieni di sussurri mentre mi dirigevo verso l'ala chirurgica. Due infermiere erano accalcate vicino al refrigeratore d'acqua, le loro voci si sentivano nonostante i tentativi di discrezione.

"Hai visto Laurel Rose? Tre anni in Europa, e nel momento in cui torna, Blake Parker in persona va a prenderla al JFK."

"Beh, erano fidanzati al college. Lui ha aspettato tre anni mentre lei costruiva la sua carriera in Europa. Se non è vero amore questo, non so cosa lo sia."

Se quello è vero amore, pensai, allora come si chiama passare tre anni a prendersi cura di qualcuno in coma? Come si chiama amare qualcuno che non ti ha mai amato?

Ma sapevo come lo avrebbero chiamato: patetico. La stessa cosa che mi chiamò la madre di Blake quando rifiutai di lasciarlo dopo l'incidente. La stessa cosa che sussurrava sua sorella quando passavo le notti dormendo su una sedia d'ospedale.

La sala operatoria era pronta. Il dottor Evans fece un ultimo tentativo per farmi cambiare idea sugli antidolorifici, ma rimasi ferma nella mia decisione. Mentre mi sdraiavo sul freddo tavolo, pensai alle telefonate che avevo fatto quella mattina. Cinque tentativi di raggiungere Blake. Cinque chiamate finite direttamente in segreteria. Cinque occasioni per lui di rispondere, di essere qui, di dimostrarmi che mi sbagliavo su di noi.


"Audrey Sinclair! Come osi prendere questa decisione senza consultarmi?"

La voce di Blake riempì la sala di recupero trenta minuti dopo l'intervento. Stava sulla soglia, impeccabile come sempre, il volto contorto dalla rabbia. Anche furioso, era bellissimo. Non era giusto.

"Ho provato a chiamarti." La mia voce uscì più ferma di quanto mi aspettassi.

"Cazzate. Non ci sono chiamate perse da parte tua."

"Controlla il registro delle chiamate."

Tirò fuori il telefono, scorrendo con deliberata lentezza prima di lasciar uscire una risata fredda. "Niente. Sei proprio una bugiarda, vero, Audrey?"

Certo che no, pensai. Laurel se ne sarebbe assicurata.

"Sembra che perdere questo bambino sia stata la scelta giusta dopotutto," dissi invece, osservando il suo volto oscurarsi di rabbia.

Fece un passo avanti, la sua presenza riempiva la stanza come sempre. "Non avevi il diritto..."

"Oh... la mia testa..."

Il gemito soffice dalla soglia tagliò la nostra discussione come un coltello. Laurel Rose stava lì, una mano premuta sulla fronte, l'altra aggrappata al telaio della porta. Il suo vestito bianco e la carnagione pallida la facevano sembrare fragile e delicata.

"Blake, caro, mi sento stordita..."

Guardai mentre l'intero atteggiamento di Blake cambiava. La furia nei suoi occhi si sciolse in preoccupazione mentre si voltava da me, correndo a prendere Laurel mentre ondeggiava drammaticamente.

"Cosa c'è che non va? Devo chiamare un medico?"

Lei scosse la testa debolmente, aggrappandosi al suo braccio. "Solo... lo stress del viaggio forse..."

E così, diventai invisibile. Guardai mentre Blake sosteneva la vita di Laurel, il suo tocco gentile in un modo che non era mai stato con me. Guardai mentre la guidava con cura verso la porta, tutti i pensieri della nostra discussione dimenticati.

Attraverso la finestra della mia stanza VIP, potevo vederli muoversi lungo il corridoio. Il suo braccio intorno alla sua vita. La sua testa sulla sua spalla. La coppia perfetta, secondo Page Six e tutti gli altri.

Mentre le loro figure scomparivano dietro l'angolo, posai una mano sul mio grembo vuoto, sapendo che era il mio segnale per uscire con grazia.

Dopotutto, cosa restava da tenere?

Tirai fuori il telefono, fissando per l'ultima volta la lista delle chiamate in uscita. Cinque tentativi falliti di raggiungere Blake. Anche se ora sapesse la verità su queste chiamate, sarebbe stato lo stesso.

L'infermiera mi consegnò un sacchetto di carta con i farmaci al banco del checkout. Non mi preoccupai di guardare dentro.

La villa Lunar sembrava più vuota del solito quando tornai a casa. Riuscii a fare solo metà strada verso la camera da letto prima che la prima ondata di dolore mi colpisse. Un'agonia acuta e contorta nello stomaco che mi fece piegare in due. In qualche modo riuscii a barcollare fino al bagno, appena in tempo per raggiungere il water prima che il sapore metallico riempisse la mia bocca.

La porcellana bianca diventò rossa, e la mia testa divenne sempre più pesante - persi conoscenza.

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.
