Introduction

Rayne stod og betragtede sit spejlbillede. Hendes lysegrÞnne balkjole klyngede sig til hendes kurver og efterlod lidt til fantasien. Hendes kulsort krÞller var opsat og fÊstnet til hendes hoved, hvilket efterlod hendes hals blottet. I aften var aftenen, hvor de fleste af de ulve uden mage i alle de nordamerikanske flokke forhÄbentlig ville finde deres partnere. Hun var sikker pÄ, at de alle var fyldt med spÊnding.

Det var hun ikke.

Hun Ăžnskede ikke en mage. Hun havde ikke brug for en mage...

...men den pludselige duft af jasmin og vanilje ramte hendes nÊse fra et sted i nÊrheden. Det betÞd kun én ting. Hendes mage var tÊt pÄ...

*******************

Rayne mÞdte sin mage til MÄneskinsballet, da hun var atten, sin mage som hun aldrig Þnskede at finde, som hun aldrig Þnskede i sit liv. Han dukkede op ud af ingenting. Hans handlinger den aften satte hende ubevidst fri. Hun tog den frihed, han gav hende, lÞb vÊk og sÄ sig aldrig tilbage.

Nu, fem Är senere, dukker han op i hendes liv igen efter at have afvist hende for fem Är siden og krÊver, at hun tager sin retmÊssige plads ved hans side. Han gik vÊk fra hende efter at have kaldt hende svag. Der var ingen chance for, at hun bare ville lade ham komme tilbage i hendes liv, som om han hÞrte til der. Rayne Þnskede aldrig en mage, ville hans tilstedevÊrelse nu Êndre det? Hendes krop og sjÊl beder om, at han gÞr krav pÄ hende, men hendes hjerte tilhÞrer en anden.

Kan hendes mage overbevise hende om at give ham en chance? Vil hendes elsker overbevise hende om at blive hos ham? MÄnegudinden parrede hende med en, hun ikke selv havde valgt, alt hvad Rayne nogensinde har Þnsket, var chancen for at vÊlge selv. Hvem vil vinde? Rayne eller den skÊbne, som mÄnen har sat for hende?

Chapter 1

Rayne stod og betragtede sin refleksion i spejlet. Hendes lysegrÞnne balkjole klyngede sig til hendes kurver og efterlod lidt til fantasien. Hendes kulsort krÞller var opsat og fÊstnet til hendes hoved, hvilket efterlod hendes hals blottet. I aften var aftenen, hvor de fleste af de ulve i de nordamerikanske flokke, der endnu ikke havde fundet deres mage, forhÄbentlig ville finde dem. Hun var sikker pÄ, at de alle var fyldt med spÊnding.

Det var hun ikke.

Hun Ăžnskede ikke en mage. Hun havde ikke brug for en mage.

Hun planlagde at forlade sin flok. Blive en enspÊnder. Ingen her ville savne hende. Ingen i Jade MÄne-flokken bekymrede sig om en lille forÊldrelÞs ulv. Alfaen lod hende kun blive, fordi hun var hans gamle Betas datter. Hendes forÊldre blev drÊbt i den sidste flokkrig for ti Är siden. Hun var otte Är gammel den nat, hendes forÊldre dÞde. Den nat, hendes liv Êndrede sig, og alle dem, der elskede hende, blev taget fra hende.

At finde en mage skulle bringe den anden halvdel af hendes sjÊl ind i hendes liv. Hun tvivlede stÊrkt pÄ, at det ville vÊre godt. Meget lidt i de sidste ti Är havde vÊret godt. Hun var Beta-fÞdt, men blev behandlet som en omega. Bortset fra i aften. I aften havde de gjort hende klar til hendes mage, hvis han overhovedet var derude, i hÄb om, at han ville tage hende af deres hÊnder.

"Jorden kalder Rayne!" En stemme rÄbte fra dÞren til det slidte lille vÊrelse, hun kaldte sit sovevÊrelse.

Hun kiggede over og sÄ Alfaens datter Bridgette stÄ i dÞren i sin stramme blodrÞde balkjole. Hendes ansigt var dÊkket af makeup, hendes lÊber dybrÞde, og hendes Þjne indrammet af sort eyeliner for at fÄ hendes blÄ Þjne til at trÊde frem. Hun lignede en malet luder. Passende, da det matchede hendes opfÞrsel. Rayne ville vÊre mere end lykkelig for bare at vÊre vÊk fra Bridgette.

"Det er tid til at gÄ, og du ved, hvor meget far hader at vente, sÄ lad os komme afsted." Hendes stemme dryppede af arrogance.

"Lad os gÄ sÄ. Jo fÞr vi kommer derhen, jo fÞr kan jeg komme tilbage her og videre med mit liv," hun lÞftede skÞrtet pÄ sin kjole og gik mod dÞren.

"Du mener, jo fÞr du kan komme tilbage her og rydde op i dette rod og det i mit vÊrelse?" Hun lÞftede et af sine fint formede Þjenbryn og smilte hÄnligt til Rayne.

Denne kÊlling havde vÊret en af Raynes vÊrste fjender, siden de var bÞrn. Hendes bror var venlig mod Rayne, og det hadede hun. Hun hadede, at nogen viste Rayne nogen form for hengivenhed, som hun mente altid skulle gives til hende. Drama queen var ikke en titel for hende, hun var meget mere selvoptaget og narcissistisk end nogen, Rayne nogensinde havde mÞdt. Da hun aldrig havde vÊret uden for Jade MÄne-territoriet, sagde det ikke meget.

Rayne sÄ hende direkte i Þjnene og trak pÄ skuldrene. Hun havde ingen intentioner om at komme tilbage her i aften. Hun havde gemt en taske fuld af sine ejendele i et trÊ uden for flokkens grÊnser. Hun ville forlade festen efter de krÊvede to timer, tage sin taske og forlade dette liv bag sig. Ingen ville engang vide, at hun var vÊk fÞr sent pÄ eftermiddagen i morgen. Til den tid ville hun vÊre kilometer vÊk, hvis tingene gik hendes vej for en gangs skyld.

Hun rystede tankerne af sig og fulgte efter Bridgette ned ad gangen, der fÞrte til loftsdÞren. De gik ned ad trappen til stueetagen i Alfaens palÊ og fandt Alfa Wilson stÄende i entréen og stirre vredt op pÄ dem, mens de gik ned ad trappen. Han udstrÄlede magt og vrede over at vÊre blevet holdt ventende. Hans mÞrke Þjne glimtede af raseri. Hans beskidte blonde hÄr var glattet tilbage og sÄ ud til at trÊnge til en vask. Han var ifÞrt en dyb koksgrÄ smoking, der sÄ pÊn ud. Hans hÞje skikkelse var let foroverbÞjet pÄ grund af en uhelbredt trÊningsskade. Han nÊgtede at lade flokkens lÊger helbrede ham og hÊvdede, at han ville klare sig. Det var nu tre uger siden, og jo mere tid der gik, jo mere vred blev han over, at han ikke helede sÄ hurtigt som fÞr.

"Det var pÄ tide, I kom ned. Jeg har ventet i over tyve minutter."

Hun vidste, at hvis de ikke skyndte sig, ville hun bÊre et af hans blÄ mÊrker resten af natten. Ikke at hun ikke var vant til at vÊre hans boksebold, men i aften ville hun ikke vÊre hans offer igen. Rayne var fÊrdig med at vÊre denne floks piskeslag. Bridgette greb hendes arm og trak hende ned ad de resterende trapper og hen til Wilson. Selv hun var bange for ham, nÄr han var vred. Hvilket pÄ det seneste var hele tiden. Rayne vidste, at denne flok ville fÄ det bedre, nÄr Wilsons sÞn Alec overtog, men der var ingen chance for, at hun ville vente her for at se det ske.

Rayne rettede ryggen og gjorde sig klar til at gÄ til balsalen, hvor hundreder af ulve fra hele Nordamerika gik rundt, drak, dansede og ventede pÄ, at deres mage skulle finde dem. En gang om Äret blev dette bal afholdt i en anden floks territorium. Hvert Är deltog alle ulve uden mage i festen i hÄb om at finde den anden halvdel af deres sjÊl i form af deres mage.

"Lad os gÄ, damer, midnat er om en time, og jeg er sikker pÄ, at der er en heldig ulv derude til hver af jer," Wilson gik ind i balsalen foran dem, standsede et Þjeblik for at se, at de fulgte ham, og da han sÄ, at de ville fÞlge ham, gik han hen til baren.

Bridgette kiggede pÄ hende med sit hÊvede Þjenbryn og smil, og bevÊgede sig derefter mod dansegulvet med sit ensporede mÄl. At gÞre sig selv til centrum for opmÊrksomheden, sÄ alle mÊnd i rummet ville lÊgge mÊrke til hende. Det passede Rayne fint, da hendes mÄl var at gemme sig i skyggerne, indtil hun kunne vÊre sikker pÄ, at Wilson var fuld, og hun kunne snige sig ud af palÊet og komme videre med sine planer.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
