Chapter 1

Evie

Finalmente, ce l'ho fatta. Dopo quattro anni da studentessa modello, ce l'ho fatta a attraversare quel palco. La festa di laurea infuria tutto intorno a me. La gente balla, canta e urla mentre si scatenano. Non che qualcuno di loro si sia accorto di me. Tendo a stare fuori dai riflettori.

Ero così emozionata di ricevere questo invito. Timothy Hayes in persona mi aveva invitato a questa festa. È la mia prima festa in casa. E si diceva che le feste in casa di Timothy fossero famose per essere pazze e divertenti. Tutti a scuola si contendevano un invito. I ragazzi lanciavano monete. Le ragazze affilavano le loro unghie curate, pronte a farsi strada verso Timothy.

Aveva senso. Era il ragazzo più attraente della scuola.

"Ehi, Evie, mi serve solo un'ultima firma per il mio annuario," alzo lentamente il mento per incontrare gli occhi nocciola dell'unico ragazzo per cui avrei rischiato tutto. Timothy Hayes. "Sei la mia ultima firma."

"Non ho una penna con me," dico imbarazzata.

Lui scrolla le spalle. "Ne ho una nella mia stanza. Dai," mi esorta, prendendomi per mano e tirandomi su per le scale verso la sua stanza.

Ora, tutto è cambiato. Lì, sdraiato accanto a me, c'era Timothy.

Il mio istinto immediato era di urlare. Ma mi mordo la lingua e copro il viso con i cuscini.

Quando finalmente ritrovo il controllo, mi siedo guardandomi intorno nella stanza. I miei vestiti erano sparsi caoticamente sul pavimento. Mi guardo. Avevo dormito con la sua maglia. Il numero 9 era stampato in modo evidente sul davanti con l'immagine della nostra mascotte scolastica, il bulldog.

Ma la notte era finita e dovevo tornare a casa. Scivolando fuori dalla stanza, con i miei vestiti in mano, corro verso la porta d'ingresso e torno a casa mia.

**

Sono passati alcuni giorni e quella notte è tutto ciò a cui ho pensato. Timothy aveva scelto me. Era così bello essere vista da lui. I miei occhi non si sono staccati da quella maglia. Dovrei restituirgliela. Probabilmente significa molto per lui.

Così sono scesa e ho iniziato la mia breve passeggiata nel quartiere. Mi chiedevo come avrebbe reagito vedendomi alla sua porta. Speravo che sarebbe stato felice di vedermi, considerando come era venuto da me.

Mentre mi avvicinavo alla sua casa, ho notato alcune auto parcheggiate nel suo vialetto. Quelle auto appartenevano ai suoi amici. Risate forti provenivano dal retro della casa. Non potevo fare a meno di voler ascoltare la loro conversazione. Era troppo tentante. Camminando in punta di piedi intorno al lato, mi sono avvicinata al cancello dipinto di bianco.

"Non posso credere che l'hai fatto," dice uno ridendo. "Hai fegato, amico mio."

"Macché," Timothy sospirò pesantemente. "Aveva sicuramente del potenziale."

"Comunque, Evie Sinclair? Non è tipo una reclusa? Tutti sapevano che non le interessava nessun ragazzo, tranne che per quei dannati libri."

"Stai zitto," Timothy rise. "Non è stato così male."

Uno di loro fece una pernacchia. "Qualunque cosa tu dica. Hai mantenuto l'accordo, quindi ti lascerò prendere la bici."

C'era un accordo. Il mio petto improvvisamente si sentì costretto.

"Ecco a ottenere tutte le 'firme' delle ragazze," uno dei suoi amici ride.

"Ehi," Timothy replica. "Ha funzionato, no? Ho dormito con lei."

Oh, Dio. Mi sentivo male.

Barcollo indietro verso il cortile anteriore, le lacrime offuscano ogni centimetro della mia visione. Non potevo essere vista qui. Devo andarmene prima di umiliarmi ulteriormente. Lancio la sua maglia sui gradini del portico e tento di correre, ma le mie gambe funzionavano a malapena. Sembra che il mio corpo sia stato privato di qualsiasi struttura avesse. Ero solo una pozza a terra in attesa che la prossima persona mi calpestasse.

"Evie?"

Mi fermo di colpo, raccogliendo ogni briciolo di forza che mi rimane. "Cosa c'è?"

"Non pensavo che saresti passata..."

"Ero solo venuta a restituirti la maglia," dico con calma, girandomi finalmente verso di lui.

"Puoi prenderla in prestito quando vuoi," sorride divertito.

Devo costringermi a distogliere lo sguardo. Lo odiavo. Mi aveva usata.

"Quello che è successo l'altra sera non può succedere di nuovo," dico fermamente. "Mi sono divertita, ma..."

"Ma?"

La sua domanda rimane sospesa nell'aria tra noi.

"Ma devo concentrarmi sui miei obiettivi," parlo a bassa voce. "E tu hai la tua carriera professionale a cui pensare. Penso sia meglio lasciare che sia stato solo un episodio. Abbiamo ottenuto entrambi quello che volevamo l'uno dall'altra. Giusto?"

Lui mi guarda con un'espressione accigliata. "Cosa intendi?"

La mia mascella si stringe, i denti si serrano l'uno contro l'altro. "Addio, Timothy," sussurro tremante, e mi allontano.

Ogni passo era una tortura. Ogni respiro era rapido e superficiale. Avrei voluto che il terreno mi inghiottisse in quel momento.

Il percorso verso casa sembrava durare anni. Peggiorava il fatto che vedessi l'auto del mio fratellastro parcheggiata nel vialetto. Deglutisco con forza e mi dirigo dentro.

"Hai un aspetto terribile," sbuffa, non appena entro nel soggiorno. "Il tuo ragazzo ti ha mollata, vero?"

Scuoto la testa. "Non era il mio ragazzo," sussurro.

Bruce soffoca una risata. "Mi stai dicendo che hai dormito con un tizio qualsiasi e hai preso la sua maglia?"

"Lasciala stare, Bruce," scatto arrabbiata, le lacrime amare che iniziano a riempirmi gli occhi.

"Ah," fa una smorfia. "Ti ha spezzato il cuore. Gliel'hai data, vero?"

"Bruce," imploro. "Smettila..."

"Dio, sei così stupida," ride. "Tutti questi premi accademici e sei ancora troppo stupida per capire quando un tizio ti sta usando."

Non volevo sentirlo umiliarmi ulteriormente. Corro su per le scale il più velocemente possibile, quasi inciampando. Ma lui continua a lanciarmi insulti.

Aveva ragione. Era stato stupido da parte mia credere a una sola parola di quel ragazzo. Era noto per le sue conquiste. Anche i suoi amici lo erano. E io mi ero lasciata prendere così tanto dalla fantasia che qualcuno potesse davvero piacermi, da rifiutarmi di vedere i segnali.

Chiudendo la porta a chiave, finalmente mi permetto di crollare. Non riuscivo a fermare le lacrime che mi scendevano sul viso mentre il dolore del cuore spezzato si faceva sentire.

Sei Anni Dopo

Il lavoro era di nuovo frenetico. Era un mercoledì sera nel ristorante più alla moda della città. Camerieri e cameriere sfrecciavano tra i tavoli con i loro vassoi di bevande e cibo.

Ero esausta dopo una lunga giornata di tentativi di ottenere clienti per il mio tirocinio, ma dovevo fare questo turno per pagare l'ultimo affitto del mese.

Dietro il lungo ed elegante bar, alcuni televisori erano sintonizzati su eventi sportivi. Non prestavo attenzione a chi stesse giocando o a quale sport fosse, finché un uomo non chiese di cambiare canale.

"Mettete la partita dei Thunderbolt. Ho sentito che abbiamo una possibilità di vincere la Stanley Cup," dice orgoglioso.

Per pura curiosità, guardo lo schermo mentre cambia. Proprio in quel momento, la telecamera cambia e un volto che avevo giurato di non voler mai più vedere appare sullo schermo.

Ovviamente, era il famigerato Timothy Hayes. La stella nascente che tutti stanno guardando in questo momento. Tranne me.

La rabbia bruciava di nuovo dentro di me. Mi odiavo ancora per essere stata così ingenua riguardo a lui.

Riprenditi, Evie.

Avevo cose più importanti a cui pensare. Come risparmiare i miei soldi e sopravvivere a questo lavoro e al mio tirocinio nello studio legale.

Non a lui.

"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."

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.

Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
