Introduction
Mary ha appena preso una decisione che cambierà per sempre la sua vita. Non è da Mary prendere decisioni che cambiano la vita. In effetti, Mary di solito non prende decisioni affatto.
Dopo anni di sentirsi sola, di sentirsi inutile e di pensare che le persone nella sua vita la usino solo come una comparsa nelle loro vite, Mary è pronta per qualcosa di nuovo.
Partirà con la Signora e Kopa per la loro terra natale. Proverà qualcosa di nuovo e spererà che ciò verso cui sta correndo sia meglio di ciò da cui sta fuggendo. E se riuscirà a guarire il suo cuore spezzato, sarà un vantaggio in più.

Chapter 1
Mary sedeva nella carrozza, sentendosi un po' depressa dopo aver lasciato tutto e tutti quelli che conosceva.
Non era del tutto vero, pensò, era infatti circondata da persone che conosceva, ed era con la Signora e Kopa. Questo aiutava un po', doveva solo vedere tutto questo come un'avventura. Come quando lei ed Erik esploravano la città da bambini.
Dopo un po', la carrozza si fermò, e Mary guardò la Signora con aria interrogativa.
"Dobbiamo aspettare i carri con il nostro bagaglio" spiegò la Signora senza che Mary dovesse chiedere.
Mary annuì e capì che non potevano viaggiare senza i carri di supporto. Il corteo con i cavalieri grigi e la solitaria carrozza bianca, era solo per creare un'impressione, per mantenere la visione della Signora e del suo seguito.
Mary pensò che avrebbe dovuto capirlo prima, lei più di chiunque altro doveva sapere quanto cibo ci voleva per sfamare tutte queste persone. Mentre aspettavano che i carri li raggiungessero, Mary pensava al viaggio che aveva davanti e a una serie di altre cose.
Scoprì di avere una serie di domande, ma non sapeva se avrebbe osato farle. Si rivolse a Mildy, che era seduta di fronte a lei.
"Quanto durerà il viaggio?" chiese Mary.
"Circa una settimana, a seconda del tempo e di altre cose," rispose l'aari, e le altre due donne annuirono. Mary rimase in silenzio per un momento prima di fare la prossima domanda.
"Che lingua si parla a Salmisara?"
"Il salamis è la più comune, ma a Salmis ci sono così tanti mercanti e nazionalità diverse che il comune viene parlato abbastanza spesso. Poi ci sono diverse lingue locali nelle varie regioni, ma la maggior parte può essere considerata dialetti del salamis," rispose Mildy.
Mary era sorpresa. A Dermes, si parlava solo il comune.
"Allora devo imparare il salamis," disse Mary.
"Te la caverai con il comune, almeno per i primi mesi," la Signora la rassicurò. Ma Mary scosse la testa.
"Non posso vivere in un posto senza parlare la loro lingua. Sarebbe irrispettoso da parte mia," disse. L'affermazione fece sorridere le altre tre donne.
"Sei saggia per la tua età," disse Leana.
"Grazie," rispose Mary.
"Non farebbe male se ti dessimo qualche lezione lungo la strada," disse la Signora. "Ci darebbe qualcosa da fare."
Mary si sentì un po' meglio, le sembrava importante diventare parte della città che sarebbe diventata la sua nuova casa.
Kopa aprì la porta per annunciare che i cavalieri si stavano ora riorganizzando con i carri e che avrebbero potuto continuare il viaggio in dieci minuti.
La giornata consistette poi in una delle donne nella carrozza che dava a Mary una nuova parola in salamis, Mary la ripeteva ad alta voce un paio di volte e poi si concentrava nel cercare di ricordarla. Dopo un po', le veniva chiesto se ricordava le diverse parole.
Mary scoprì che era sorprendentemente facile ricordare le diverse parole. Ciò che le causava il problema più grande era la pronuncia. Il salamis era più melodico e aveva più sfumature nella melodia rispetto al comune.
Il loro piccolo gioco significava che non aveva il tempo né l'energia per pensare alla sua decisione o al suo futuro. Qualcosa di cui era grata e che l'aiutava a concentrarsi sul presente.
Il giorno si trasformò in crepuscolo e nell'ultima ora avevano viaggiato attraverso un paesaggio boscoso che non mostrava quasi segni di presenza umana. Mary iniziò a pensare che avrebbero continuato a viaggiare tutta la notte quando intravide una collina un po' più avanti dove sembrava ci fosse un villaggio in cima.
I fuochi tra i piccoli edifici illuminavano l'oscurità in arrivo. Avvicinandosi, Mary si rese conto che gli edifici erano in realtà tende montate in un fitto raggruppamento.
Le tende erano sorvegliate da persone vestite di grigio e Mary si rese conto che la Signora aveva una compagnia più grande di quella che aveva portato in città. Il resto del gruppo aveva aspettato qui nel campo.
Mary poteva vedere più carri di rifornimento tra le tende. Era davvero un'impresa enorme spostare tutte queste persone, pensò Mary. Poi la carrozza si fermò e Kopa aprì la porta per aiutare le donne a scendere. Un gruppo di persone vestite di grigio si alzò per salutare la Signora.
"Tutto è pronto per la partenza di domani" disse uno degli uomini. Era di bassa statura, a malapena più alto di Mary, ma l'espressione nei suoi occhi dava l'impressione che fosse un uomo abituato a essere obbedito.
"Grazie Nihal" disse la Signora con un piccolo sorriso. Indicò a Mary di avvicinarsi, e Mary si affrettò a obbedire. "Nihal, questa è Mary, ci accompagnerà nel nostro viaggio. Mary, questo è Nihal, sovrintende ai cavalieri grigi" disse la Signora.
Nihal chinò la testa verso Mary in segno di riconoscimento, e Mary rispose con un piccolo inchino e guardò in basso. Mary pensò di vedere un'espressione di disapprovazione sul volto della Signora e temette di aver fatto qualcosa di sbagliato, doveva forse mostrare più rispetto e, in tal caso, come?
Ma l'espressione svanì così rapidamente che Mary non era sicura se l'avesse vista o se l'avesse immaginata. La Signora continuò a parlare con il piccolo gruppo di persone vestite di grigio. Mary rimase lì a pensare a chi poteva chiedere come comportarsi e guardò intorno.
Vide Kopa che aiutava a scaricare un paio di bauli e casse da uno dei carri di rifornimento. Si avvicinò a lui, restando un po' in disparte, aspettando che finisse. Come al solito, sembrava sapere che lei era lì e girò la testa verso di lei, sorridendo leggermente prima di continuare a lavorare.
C'era attività ovunque e Mary si sentiva irrequieta e inutile dove stava senza aiutare. Quando Kopa si avvicinò a lei, gli chiese.
"Cosa posso fare per aiutare?" Kopa le sorrise.
"Puoi farmi compagnia mentre faccio il mio giro" disse. Mary non fu completamente soddisfatta della risposta, ma annuì e lo seguì mentre iniziava a camminare.

"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.

"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
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.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
