Introduction

Omega, tra circa un'ora sentirai caldo, vertigini e sarai sopraffatta dagli ormoni nel tuo corpo.”
Impallidii. “Cosa succede dopo che ha effetto?”
“Allora un alpha nella zona circostante reagirà al tuo odore.”
Dopo un'ora, l'infermiera fece capolino. Aveva uno sguardo strano negli occhi e non mi piacque.
“Quindi è là fuori?”
Il sorriso dell'infermiera si spense, “No, non uno.”
I miei occhi si spalancarono. “Due?”
“No, hai quattro compagni.”
Scossi la testa. “No, non è possibile!”
Sospirò e aprì il suo telefono. “I tuoi compagni sono i seguenti: Colby Mcgrath, Rain Kim, Matthew Clark e Jade Johnson.”
Quando disse il primo nome cominciai a sentirmi svenire ma poi l'infermiera continuò a elencare tutti i nomi dei miei tormentatori per anni. Come potevo essere legata a tutti gli amici di mio fratello?
Le mie mutandine si bagnarono, rifiutai di accettare che fosse una reazione ormonale.

Chapter 1

Lia

Il pranzo che avevo preparato per me stessa era rimasto quasi intatto. Ho preso un pezzo del panino, ne ho dato un morso e ho fatto fatica a mandarlo giù. Sembrava cenere in bocca, mi veniva voglia di sputarlo.

Ripiegato e infilato nella mia tasca c'era l'invito per la mia cerimonia di passaggio all'età adulta che mi era stato consegnato due settimane fa. Con le mani tremanti, l'ho tirato fuori e l'ho letto parola per parola.

Invito Ufficiale

Cordiali saluti,

Aspen School

Le parole mi riempivano di una miriade di emozioni, tutte negative. Volevo rannicchiarmi su me stessa, ignorando l'ansia travolgente che non riuscivo a scrollarmi di dosso. Tutti i miei amici erano così eccitati e felici di scoprire chi poteva essere il loro potenziale compagno.

I miei nervi erano a fior di pelle e lo erano stati per le ultime settimane. Avevo la mia cerimonia di passaggio all'età adulta in meno di una settimana. Avrebbe segnato la mia transizione in un lupo mannaro adulto a tutti gli effetti e, cosa più importante, mi avrebbe dato un compagno.

Dei passi raggiunsero le mie orecchie, ghiaia e foglie che scricchiolavano sotto i loro passi pesanti. Girai la testa così velocemente che la mia lunga treccia bionda quasi mi colpì sulla guancia.

“Simone!” chiamai, la mano che afferrava il mio cuore ancora palpitante. “Mi hai spaventata.”

Lei ridacchiò, sedendosi accanto a me sulla panchina.

“Cosa fai qui fuori, Lia? Ti ho cercata dappertutto per condividere le mie buone notizie!”

Mi morsi leggermente il labbro inferiore, l'ansia che raggiungeva il suo apice.

“Sì, oggi hai avuto la tua cerimonia di passaggio all'età adulta. Com'è andata?”

“È stata fantastica!” esclamò. “Ho trovato i miei compagni!”

Queste cerimonie non erano sempre una garanzia dopo aver preso la medicina che aumentava la produzione del tuo odore. Poteva volerci settimane per incontrare i tuoi compagni scelti, se esistevano.

“Sono felice che tu abbia trovato il tuo compagno. Chi è?”

“Compagni, Lia. Ho trovato i miei compagni.”

I miei occhi azzurro oceano si spalancarono come piattini. “Cosa?”

Un compagno era il risultato più comune. Due non erano inauditi, ma era molto più raro.

“Ho due compagni,” ridacchiò Simone. “Conosci Max e Xavier del college vicino?”

“Giocano nella squadra di rugby…”

“Sì, beh, loro saranno i miei compagni!”

Simone brillava, le guance arrossate e gli occhi scintillanti. Odiavo che sarebbe stata legata a due ragazzi della squadra di rugby del college. La maggior parte di loro erano rozzi idioti, che usavano la loro stazza e il loro status per ottenere ciò che volevano.

Dovrei saperlo; mio fratello maggiore Michael era nella squadra. Passò dal liceo alla squadra di rugby del college. Insieme ai suoi quattro amici Colby, Rain, Matt e Jesse, aiutarono la squadra a vincere trofeo dopo trofeo e campionato dopo campionato.

I nostri genitori insistevano ad andare a ogni singola partita. Dopo che morirono, mantenni la tradizione ma odiavo ogni minuto.

“Vieni alla mia festa stasera, vero?”

“Certo! Simone, sei la mia migliore amica.”

Mi tirò in un abbraccio, un sospiro sfuggì dalle sue labbra quando notò il mio invito stropicciato sul tavolo da picnic.

“Lia, non hai ancora confermato. Cosa stai pensando?!”

La delusione nei suoi occhi era feroce. Era abbastanza per farmi contorcere sulla sedia e distogliere lo sguardo. Non volevo deludere nessuno, tantomeno una delle mie migliori amiche. No, la mia unica amica.

Il più delle volte, me ne stavo per conto mio. Simone era riuscita ad abbattere quelle mura che avevo eretto.

“Non voglio fare la cerimonia di passaggio all'età adulta,” sbottai.

L'aria divenne così tesa che giurerei si potesse tagliare con un coltello. Riuscii a incrociare lo sguardo di Simone, sperando che potesse capire da dove venivo.

"Lia, non è divertente."

"Non sto scherzando," ammisi, con voce dolce. "Non voglio farlo. Non ho mai voluto farlo, ma tutti si comportano come se fosse la cosa più normale da fare qui."

"Perché lo è!"

Scossi la testa. "Non per me."

"Sai cosa succede quando non lo fai? Diventi un'emarginata sociale," sussurrò Simone, l'orrore che le attraversava il viso. "Ricordi Alison Larson, che si è diplomata un anno prima di noi? Rifiutò la cerimonia e dovette trasferirsi in un altro stato per sfuggire alle conseguenze."

"Sei l'unica a cui sono vicina qui," ammetto.

"Ti sei dimenticata di Michael?"

Sentire il nome di mio fratello mi fece sopraffare dal senso di colpa. Amavo mio fratello più di ogni altra cosa, anche se a volte sembrava più infastidito dalla mia presenza che altro.

"Come potrei dimenticarmi di mio fratello, Lia? È ridicolo."

"Beh, lo dico perché è rilevante! Se te ne vai, non lo vedrai mai più."

Le mie spalle si abbassarono in segno di sconfitta.

"Va bene, lo firmerò e lo restituirò oggi."

Simone sospirò di sollievo. "Grazie, Lia. So che è spaventoso e sei nervosa per chi potrebbe essere scelto come tuo compagno, ma una volta finito potrai tornare alla tua vita normale."

Volevo chiedere a Simone come fosse possibile tornare alla vita normale quando avrei avuto un compagno, qualcuno costantemente al mio fianco, ma mi trattenni. Simone era così felice e praticamente raggiante. L'ultima cosa che volevo fare era rovinare la sua felicità.


Giocavo nervosamente con un filo sciolto sulla mia gonna scozzese rossa regolamentare, la mia mano a pochi centimetri dalla porta della clinica. Con un sospiro pesante, bussai il più forte possibile.

"Entra!" chiamò l'infermiera.

Quando l'infermiera Wu mi vide, aggrottò la fronte.

"Vedo che finalmente ti sei decisa a restituire il modulo. Per un momento ho pensato che non avresti restituito il modulo e partecipato alla tua cerimonia di passaggio."

Aggrottai la fronte. "Sì, sarebbe davvero scandaloso da parte mia fare una cosa del genere."

"Vai avanti e sii sarcastica, ma sai che ho ragione, Lia. Sarai lo zimbello di tutti."

"Sì, non sei la prima persona a farmelo notare."

Lei alzò gli occhi al cielo. "Vai e torna in classe."

Feci sbattere la porta dietro di me, la rabbia che mi travolgeva. Perché tutti erano così insistenti nel seguire questa tradizione?

Una piccola parte di me lo voleva, ma avevo paura di chi sarei finita per essere accoppiata. La cerimonia di accoppiamento dei miei genitori era andata bene e anche quella di mio fratello. Aveva trovato una giovane donna adorabile di nome Madison, che si era diplomata nella stessa classe.

Non tutti trovavano i loro compagni. Se lo facevano, entravano nel database e venivano incoraggiati a riprovare la cerimonia dopo qualche anno. Era successo al gruppo di amici più stretti di mio fratello.

Quando questo succedeva, nessuno batteva ciglio. Lo accettavano perché almeno la persona aveva provato a completare la cerimonia di accoppiamento. Avrei voluto che facessero lo stesso con le persone che sceglievano di non farlo.

Entrai in classe un po' in ritardo, prendendo il mio solito posto accanto a Simone. Si avvicinò a me, tenendo la voce bassa.

"Hai consegnato il modulo?"

"Sì, avrò la cerimonia la prossima settimana," sussurrai di rimando.

Strillò, cercando di soffocare il suono il più possibile per evitare che l'insegnante si girasse e vedesse che non stavamo prestando attenzione.

"Non vedo l'ora di vedere chi saranno i tuoi compagni, Lia."

"Compagno."

"Beh, ora ho due compagni," sottolineò.

"Sì, ma la norma è avere un solo compagno. Non due."

"Una volta ho sentito di una ragazza che ne aveva tre."

Impallidii, spostandomi a disagio sul mio sedile. "Tre compagni contemporaneamente?"

"Immagina!" disse Simone, ridendo un po' troppo forte.

L'insegnante si schiarì la gola, lanciandoci sguardi fulminanti. Le risate esplosero in tutta la classe, facendomi arrossire per l'imbarazzo. Ero così pallida che il rossore sarebbe stato più che evidente a chiunque nella stanza.

"Parliamo più tardi," mimai a Simone.

Non volevo mettermi nei guai quando la mia cerimonia di passaggio era così vicina. Non c'era bisogno di dare loro qualcos'altro contro di me.

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.
