Chapter 1

La primera luz del amanecer se filtró mientras los ojos de Isabella Miller se abrían de golpe, su cabeza palpitando por la resaca.

A su lado, las respiraciones constantes y cálidas de Sebastian Landon estaban alarmantemente cerca.

Isabella se quedó inmóvil, fragmentos de la noche anterior inundando su mente—alcohol, cuerpos y locura—deseaba poder desaparecer en la tierra.

Se mordió el labio con fuerza, casi haciéndose sangrar, el sabor metálico extendiéndose en su boca.

¿Qué haría ahora? Apenas había comenzado su trabajo y ya había dormido con su jefe durante un viaje de integración del equipo. ¿Qué iba a hacer?

Aprovechando que Sebastian aún dormía, se levantó rápidamente, recogiendo apresuradamente su ropa esparcida, y salió del toldo tambaleándose, dejando atrás su pulsera sin darse cuenta.

—¿Isabella?—Vanessa Field, una colega del equipo de asistentes ejecutivos, la llamó, su voz teñida de curiosidad.

Isabella se sobresaltó, reprimiendo sus emociones turbulentas, y trató de sonar normal. —Buenos días, Vanessa.

—¿Estás bien?—Vanessa la miró de arriba abajo. —Te ves fatal. ¿No dormiste bien? ¿Golpe de calor, tal vez?

—Estoy bien—Isabella bajó la mirada para ocultar su pánico. —Probablemente no estoy acostumbrada al agua de aquí. Voy al baño.

No podía admitir lo que había hecho la noche anterior, ni podía mirar a Vanessa a los ojos. Se alejó apresuradamente, sus pasos inestables.

Vanessa observó su figura que se alejaba, una sonrisa misteriosa jugando en sus labios.

Mientras los empleados de la empresa se reunían para las actividades del día, todos parecían enérgicos excepto Isabella, que lucía agotada.

Sebastian se paró al frente del grupo, su expresión severa, sosteniendo una pulsera en la mano.

—¿De quién es esto?—Su profunda voz cortó el murmullo, su mirada recorriendo a la multitud. —Se encontró en el campamento anoche.

Un murmullo recorrió el grupo mientras la gente especulaba sobre la "Cenicienta".

—Quien la reclame recibirá una recompensa de $10,000 y el doble del bono de fin de año—anunció Sebastian, su tono sin admitir objeción, como si declarara una recompensa.

Los murmullos se hicieron más fuertes, pero nadie dio un paso adelante.

Isabella sintió un escalofrío recorrer su cuerpo, su corazón latiendo tan fuerte que parecía que iba a salirse de su pecho.

La pulsera era un regalo de cumpleaños de su hermana, Nina Miller, algo que siempre llevaba y apreciaba.

Esto era un desastre.

Isabella cerró los ojos con desesperación, lágrimas corriendo silenciosamente por su rostro.

No podía admitir que la pulsera era suya. Si Sebastian se enteraba de lo que pasó anoche, ¿cómo podría seguir trabajando en la empresa?

—No me siento bien. Me saltaré las actividades de hoy—dijo Isabella, su voz amortiguada y gruesa por la emoción, sonando como si tuviera un resfriado.

—¿No te sientes bien?—La voz de Vanessa estaba llena de preocupación. —¿Estás segura de que estás bien? Tengo medicinas para resfriados, diarrea, lo que necesites. ¿Qué necesitas?

—No, gracias. Tomé algo para la fiebre. Solo necesito dormir—La voz de Isabella temblaba al responder, retirándose a su tienda. Solo quería estar sola.

—Está bien, descansa—La voz de Vanessa se desvaneció, sonando un poco decepcionada.

Isabella se acurrucó en su saco de dormir, su cuerpo temblando.

El amargor de la medicina para la fiebre se mezclaba con sus lágrimas, creando un sabor salado y amargo.

Sebastian tampoco participó en las actividades. Regresó solo al campamento. La tienda de Isabella estaba inquietantemente silenciosa, como la calma antes de la tormenta.

Se quedó fuera de la tienda, con el ceño fruncido y una expresión complicada.

Anoche había bebido demasiado, su memoria estaba borrosa, pero algunos fragmentos eran cristalinos.

Esa chica, su cuerpo suave, su voz temblorosa y esos ojos asustados, como un ciervo sorprendido.

—Señor Landon, ¿por qué ha vuelto? —la voz de Vanessa llegó desde atrás, teñida de sorpresa.

Sebastián se giró, su rostro inexpresivo, su mirada helada.

—Isabella no se siente bien. Vine a ver cómo estaba —dijo con tono plano, sin revelar nada.

—Ah, ya veo —respondió Vanessa, sin esperar que el jefe estuviera tan interesado en una pasante. Sonrió, aunque un poco forzada—. La revisé antes. Dijo que tomó algo de medicina y se fue a dormir.

—Está bien —Sebastián reconoció, sin decir más.

Regresó a su tienda, mientras Vanessa se quedaba allí, sus ojos parpadeando con incertidumbre, como si estuviera tramando algo. Sacó su teléfono, hizo una llamada y susurró algunas palabras.

...

Isabella se sumía en el sueño y despertaba, sus sueños llenos de escenas caóticas y ambiguas.

Despertó sobresaltada, empapada en sudor, sintiendo como si hubiera sido sacada de una piscina.

Le dolía la cabeza y su cuerpo estaba adolorido, como si lo hubieran atropellado.

Luchando por sentarse, notó que casi era de noche fuera de la tienda.

—¿Despierta? —una voz profunda vino desde afuera, teñida de preocupación.

El corazón de Isabella dio un vuelco.

Al ver que era Sebastián, casi saltó de su saco de dormir del susto.

—Señor Landon —su voz era ronca, llena de pánico, como una niña atrapada haciendo algo malo.

Sebastián entró, sosteniendo un vaso de agua y algunas pastillas. Su sombra se alargaba bajo la luz de la lámpara.

—Toma esto —le entregó el agua y las pastillas, su tono no admitía discusión, como una orden.

Isabella tomó el agua y las pastillas, tragándolas en silencio, la amargura extendiéndose en su boca.

—¿Te sientes mejor? —la mirada de Sebastián era profunda, como un pozo insondable.

—Mejor —murmuró Isabella, manteniendo la cabeza baja, temerosa de mirarlo a los ojos, aterrada de que él pudiera recordar la noche anterior. Solo quería desaparecer.

—Anoche, en el campamento... —comenzó Sebastián, con voz baja.

Su expresión se oscureció al mirar a Isabella, su mirada era compleja, como si quisiera decir algo. Antes de que pudiera continuar, la voz de Vanessa interrumpió desde fuera de la tienda.

—Señor Landon, ¿está ahí?

Sebastián le dio a Isabella una larga mirada indescifrable antes de girarse y salir de la tienda.

—¿Qué pasa? —su voz era fría, en marcado contraste con su tono anterior.

—Hay una reunión urgente en el extranjero. Todos lo han estado buscando. No me di cuenta de que estaba aquí revisando a la nueva empleada —dijo Vanessa dulcemente.

—Entendido —respondió Sebastián secamente, sin decir más mientras se alejaba a grandes zancadas. Subió a su coche, el conductor arrancó el motor y se alejaron a toda velocidad, dejando una nube de polvo.

Vanessa miró la tienda de Isabella, con una expresión triunfante en sus ojos, como si hubiera ganado una batalla.

Se acercó a la tienda de Isabella y dijo suavemente—: Isabella, ¿estás bien? El señor Landon se ha ido. Nosotras también deberíamos regresar.

Isabella respondió con apatía, sentada en silencio en su tienda, sintiéndose perdida.

Había hecho algo tan imprudente. La mirada de Sebastián hace un momento— ¿sabía él todo?

¡Pero ella tenía novio!

El coche de Sebastián desapareció en la noche.

La mano de Isabella se cerró con fuerza, sus uñas clavándose en la palma, pero no lo notó. Solo sentía un vacío por dentro.

"You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

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.

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.”
