Chapter 1
Blanca
Eu deslizo as pontas dos dedos ao longo da parede de pedra áspera da masmorra enquanto caminho rapidamente, mantendo os ombros curvados e a cabeça baixa. Na outra mão, carrego um balde de água e uma concha. Aqui embaixo, devo estar a salvo das zombarias que enfrento nos níveis superiores do castelo, mas ocasionalmente, um ou dois guardas mexem comigo. É mais fácil evitá-los se eu estiver invisível.
Quando eu era pequena, coloquei na cabeça que não olhar para as pessoas de alguma forma as tornava incapazes de me ver. Agora, sei que não é assim. Mesmo assim, ainda me pego olhando para minhas botas furadas na maior parte do tempo.
Quando chego à primeira cela, paro. "Água?" Ofereço ao homem preso dentro do pequeno espaço a concha. Esta cela não tem janelas, e é difícil enxergar porque a luz das poucas lanternas nas paredes só alcança até certo ponto. Mas eu conheço seu rosto. Conheço seu nome. Conheço sua história.
Conheço todas as suas histórias.
Ele se aproxima e pega a concha, bebendo avidamente antes que eu a encha novamente, e ele a esvazia de novo. "Você é um anjo," ele sussurra.
"De nada, Clive." Sorrio para ele, feliz por ser apreciada, mesmo que seja por supostos assassinos e ladrões, e então me movo para a próxima cela.
Faço meu caminho o mais rápido que posso, esperando chegar a todas as celas antes de ser descoberta e arrastada de volta pelas escadas. Meus pais proibiram-me de vir aqui, mas eu faço isso de qualquer maneira. Já vi a lavagem e a água suja que essas pobres pessoas recebem, e não suporto a ideia de que sofram por um gole de água quando posso ajudá-los. Se houvesse algo como um julgamento em todo o reino de Dun’s Crossing, talvez eu não me sentisse tão inclinada a ajudar, mas na minha mente, deveria ser inocente até que se prove o contrário, e não o contrário.
Eu me movo para uma das celas que tem uma janela e paro para observar o homem lá dentro. Alto, com cabelos escuros da mesma tonalidade que os meus, este prisioneiro sempre foi meu favorito. Quando ele faz um som baixo com a garganta, vários grandes pássaros negros se movem para pousar entre as barras da pequena abertura no alto do teto. Nunca consigo dizer se são corvos ou gralhas, mas suas penas azul-preto cintilantes são lindas para mim.
"Água?" Pergunto, como sempre faço.
Ele se vira para me olhar, uma expressão divertida no rosto enquanto se aproxima. Sua longa túnica e calças pretas estão imundas e rasgadas, mas ele parece majestoso de qualquer maneira, como se fosse mais adequado para um estudo de mago ou uma sala do trono do que uma masmorra suja sob o Castelo Wilbury.
"Ainda brincando com as regras, hein, Princesa?" ele pergunta enquanto pega a concha da minha mão.
Dou de ombros. "Se eu me meter em encrenca, não seria a primeira vez, Sr. Blake."
"Quantas vezes eu já te disse para não me chamar de senhor? Você é uma princesa e eu sou–"
"O que você é exatamente?" Eu o interrompo. Nunca tive coragem de fazer essa pergunta a ele. Ao contrário dos outros, sua história é nebulosa na minha mente porque ele não quer contá-la. Eu tendo a não falar com ninguém quando posso evitar. Embora o Sr. Blake sempre tenha me feito sentir confortável, nunca fiz essa pergunta ardente. Não sei o que me faz perguntar hoje. No entanto, aqui está, caindo dos meus lábios.
Em vez de me oferecer uma resposta adequada, ele ri e termina a água da concha. "Eu sou um prisioneiro."
"Sim, eu sei disso." Eu praticamente reviro os olhos, mas não o faço. Minha mãe me dá um tapa no rosto quando faço isso. "Quero dizer..." Eu gesticulo para os pássaros que ainda estão sentados no parapeito da janela, pacientemente esperando por sua atenção. "O que você é?"
"Alguns dizem que sou um louco," ele começa, mergulhando a concha de volta e tomando outro gole antes de continuar. "Outros dizem que sou um assassino. Ou um mago. O rei acha que sou seu arqui-inimigo."
"Mas por quê?" Eu pergunto. "Por que você está aqui?"
"Por que qualquer um de nós está aqui, meu pequeno corvo?" Ele estende a mão e puxa uma mecha do meu cabelo do jeito que um pai faria com uma filha amada. Sorrio para ele, desejando que meu próprio pai tivesse tal interesse em mim. "Seu rei pronunciou as palavras, e agora aqui estou. E aqui ficarei até que ele diga o contrário."
Quero dizer a ele que quando eu for rainha, vou libertá-lo, mas ambos sabemos que nunca terei a chance de governar Dun’s Crossing. Essa honra cairá para o Príncipe Kieran.
Só de pensar nele, meu estômago se revira. O altivo e poderoso Kieran – Príncipe Herdeiro de Dun’s Crossing. Alto, musculoso e bonito, com cabelos loiro-brancos como o resto da família real. Todas as mulheres querem ser sua companheira, sua noiva. Se soubessem a verdade – que ele é maldoso, cruel e sádico, elas levantariam suas saias e fugiriam.
Ele também acontece de ser meu irmão gêmeo, mas ninguém jamais adivinharia isso ao nos olhar. E ele me trata como se achasse que eu pertenço aqui embaixo com os próprios prisioneiros que faço o meu melhor para ajudar.
"Eu queria poder te soltar," sussurro.
Sr. Blake estende a mão através das barras e acaricia minha bochecha. "Você é uma boa menina, pequeno corvo." Ele sempre me chama assim, provavelmente por causa do meu cabelo preto.
Abro a boca para agradecê-lo, mas não consigo pronunciar as palavras antes de ouvir passos pesados vindo em nossa direção e olhar para ver meu irmão se aproximando furioso, suas madeixas geladas esvoaçando ao redor dos ombros enquanto ele se apressa. "Aí está você, sua imundície inútil. Pai mandou todos nós procurarmos o maldito castelo inteiro por você. Leve seu traseiro para a sala do trono agora, sua vadiazinha."
Por um momento, enquanto olho em seus olhos azul-claros, desejo que um daqueles pássaros no parapeito da janela voe e fure seu olho. É um pensamento passageiro, um que eu me sentiria envergonhada de admitir que já tive na vida. Afinal, ele é meu irmão, e eu não deveria ser tão cruel com ele só porque ele me odeia.
Mas antes que eu possa sequer abrir a boca para dizer que vou com ele, vejo um flash de preto e azul se lançando em sua direção. Kieran levanta as mãos para se proteger enquanto um dos pássaros voa em direção ao seu rosto, grasnando, levantando as garras e mirando diretamente em seu olho!
"Não!" Eu grito. Kieran balança no pássaro, xingando e tentando afastá-lo. Cubro a boca em horror enquanto o sangue escorre do rosto do meu irmão.
Sr. Blake faz aquele som na garganta, e o pássaro imediatamente voa de volta através das barras. Kieran fica ali por um segundo, uma mão pressionada contra o rosto, sangue escorrendo pelo braço.
"Você está bem?" Eu me movo para ajudá-lo, mas ele me afasta com um tapa.
"Me deixe em paz!" ele diz. "Sua idiota! E você!" Ele se vira para o Sr. Blake, uma mão ainda pressionada contra o olho ferido. "Você fez isso, não fez, seu desgraçado psicótico!"
"Desculpe, Príncipe Kieran, mas não posso levar o crédito por isso," diz o Sr. Blake calmamente. "Eu gostaria de poder."
"Seu idiota. Você vai pagar por isso. Guardas, deem cinquenta chibatadas nele!" Kieran grita enquanto se vira para subir as escadas. Vejo alguns guardas se movendo na direção do Sr. Blake.
Virando-me para ele, lágrimas brotam nos meus olhos. "Não!"
"Está tudo bem, pequeno corvo," ele me assegura. "Eu viverei para te ver outro dia."
Minha boca se abre enquanto os guardas passam por mim. Ouço Kieran gritando por mim perto da escadaria e lembro que meu pai me chamou. Se eu não for agora, acabarei apanhando também. "Desculpe," digo a ele.
Ele diz, "Não se desculpe. Não é sua culpa."
Os guardas o agarram e o arrastam para o fundo de sua cela, e eu tenho que ir. Não posso ficar aqui e assistir enquanto o espancam por algo que ele não fez.
Um pensamento queima em minha mente enquanto sigo meu irmão escada acima, suas gotas de sangue carmesim em cada degrau: Eu odeio o Príncipe Kieran Solberg com toda a minha alma.

I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.

The Biker's Fate
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.

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.
