Introduction

È il re alfa, la mia cotta, il mio guardiano. E ha 20 anni più di me.
**
“Quanti anni hai?”
“V-Venti,” mi morsi il labbro inferiore, balbettando sulla bugia. “Sono un’adulta.”
Tremavo ma girai la testa, permettendogli di trascinare il naso lungo il mio collo e inspirare il mio profumo. Non sapevo come gli sembrasse il mio odore. Gli sembrava che stessi mentendo?
Rimasi immobile. Lui si spostò appena, apparentemente ritirandosi, e io gli gettai le braccia al collo, trattenendolo.
“Per favore, Re Alfa,” dissi. La mia voce tremava anche se cercavo di sembrare seducente. “Sono… sicura di poterti piacere.”
“Sai cosa succede quando menti al Re Alfa, piccola?”
Lui lo sapeva. Avrei dovuto sapere che avrebbe capito che non avevo vent’anni.
“Sembri così determinata, ma non sono interessato alla tua offerta. Che ne dici di fare un gioco?”
“U-Un gioco?”
Socchiuse gli occhi e mi rivolse un sorriso lento e crudele.
“Se vinci, ti concederò asilo.”
I miei occhi si spalancarono con una scintilla di speranza.
“Ma se perdi….”

Chapter 1

Ero calda quando aprii gli occhi. Sebbene il mio corpo fosse ancora dolorante, non ero morta. Non era il marciapiede bagnato dalla pioggia che mi aspettavo, ma una camera da letto. Sussultai alla vista intorno a me. La stanza era bellissima.

I mobili erano tutti fatti di linee dritte e pulite, ma la qualità di tutto faceva sembrare l'ambiente più moderno che spartano. Passai la mano sopra le lenzuola che mi coprivano con meraviglia. Non erano di seta, ma erano la cosa più morbida che avessi mai sentito.

Ce l'avevo fatta. Invece di investirmi, la limousine con il simbolo del Branco della Luna Piena si era fermata e mi aveva portata qui.

Ero nella tenuta del re alfa. Dovevo esserci.

"Sei sveglia!" disse una voce femminile, tirandomi fuori dai miei pensieri. Era vestita con una semplice camicia bianca abbottonata, una gonna e un grembiule bianco. "Spero che tu abbia fame."

Il mio stomaco brontolò mentre sentivo l'odore della carne proveniente dal vassoio.

"Dove sono?"

Pregai la dea della luna che non mi fossi sbagliata.

"Nella casa del Re Alfa Candido," disse, scuotendo un tovagliolo da mettere sulle mie ginocchia. Mise un vassoio sulle mie ginocchia e lo riempì di cibo. "Meglio che mangi in fretta. Finirà presto la sua chiamata e verrà a vederti subito dopo."

Non riuscivo a parlare, ma presi la forchetta e iniziai a mangiare mentre la donna si voltava per andarsene. Non ricordavo l'ultima volta che avevo mangiato. Divorai tutto, quasi piangendo di gratitudine per la gentilezza del re alfa e per essere arrivata fin lì.

Il mio cuore batteva forte mentre pensavo al Re Alfa.

Cosa mi sarebbe successo ora? Il cibo era delizioso e sostanzioso, ma non riuscivo a concentrarmi su quello. Si diceva che Candido fosse un dittatore assetato di sangue e brutale che aveva ucciso suo padre e suo fratello per diventare Re Alfa.

Cosa avrei fatto? Il pensiero di incontrarlo era terrificante, ma era la mia unica possibilità di libertà. Dovevo trovare un modo per restare.

Un bussare suonò alla porta, e un attimo dopo, la porta si aprì. La donna si affrettò a entrare prima di un uomo grande e affascinante in un completo a tre pezzi. Non dissi nulla mentre lei si precipitava al mio fianco, ripuliva i piatti e spingeva il carrello fuori.

La porta si chiuse dietro di lei, e io guardai l'uomo, cercando una speranza di poterlo convincere. La sua espressione era fredda e distante mentre mi guardava e si avvicinava al letto. Camminava con la grazia di un lupo mannaro adulto e forse un po' di più. Sebbene fosse affascinante, i suoi occhi erano di una bellissima sfumatura di verde che sembrava tenermi prigioniera.

Il suo sguardo scivolò rapidamente su di me mentre attraversava la stanza. Ingoiai il mio terrore e mi misi sulle ginocchia. Le mie membra tremavano, ma strisciai fino al bordo e caddi ai suoi piedi. Non mi importava quanto patetica sembrassi. Ero patetica, e se questo poteva aiutare la mia causa, avrei fatto qualsiasi cosa.

"Re Alfa, Vostra Maestà, vi supplico di concedermi asilo nel vostro branco," dissi, tremando.

"Perché?" chiese. La sua voce era ricca e profonda ma fredda. Mi fece venire i brividi.

"M-Mio padre e la mia matrigna pianificano di vendermi a un vecchio alfa di un branco per un'alleanza, ma non ho alcun motivo per accettare e nessuna lealtà verso il mio branco di nascita."

"Perché dovrebbe essere un mio problema? Chi sei tu?"

Stringevo i pugni nella morbida sofficezza del tappeto sotto di me.

"Mi chiamo Hedy. Sono la figlia dell'attuale alfa del Branco della Zanna del Lupo e della sua precedente moglie." Chiusi gli occhi, reprimendo le emozioni mentre continuavo. "La mia matrigna e la mia sorellastra mi hanno bullizzata per tutta la vita perché mia madre è morta. A mio padre non importa nulla di me... Mi vede solo come uno strumento e un ricordo che non vuole."

I miei occhi bruciavano. Quella era stata una delle parti più difficili di tutto questo.

Alzai lo sguardo verso Candido, incontrando il suo sguardo e lasciandogli vedere quanto fossi vicina alle lacrime.

"Non ho nessun altro posto dove andare, Vostra Maestà."

I suoi occhi sembravano impassibili. La sua espressione non era cambiata affatto. Davvero non provava nulla per la mia situazione? Le voci sembravano vere. Le lacrime sgorgarono dai miei occhi, e cercai disperatamente qualcosa da offrire, qualcosa da fare. Il mio stomaco si contrasse mentre trascinavo lo sguardo su di lui. Era un uomo affascinante.

Non avevo forse sentito una volta che ogni uomo desiderava una giovane amante inesperta?

Stringevo la mascella. Il mio orgoglio bruciava, ma sapevo che essere mandata via avrebbe solo fatto partire il conto alla rovescia per quando gli associati del Branco della Zanna del Lupo mi avrebbero trovata e riportata al mio destino.

Era meglio abbassare il mio orgoglio ora per scelta che farmelo strappare via.

Mi tolsi il vestito, rabbrividendo un po' mentre l'aria fresca mi avvolgeva, e la paura mi rendeva più nervosa.

"Farò qualsiasi cosa," dissi. "Qualsiasi cosa tu voglia se solo mi lasciassi restare."

Sapevo che probabilmente non era la prima volta che gli veniva fatta una proposta del genere, ma quale altra scelta avevo? Non avevo altro da offrirgli.

"Quanti anni hai?"

"V-Venti," mi morsi il labbro inferiore, balbettando sulla bugia e sperando che non mi scoprisse. "Sono un'adulta."

Le sue narici si dilatarono. Speravo che fosse una cosa buona anche se la sua espressione non era cambiata. Allungai la mano verso i ganci del reggiseno mentre Candido mi afferrava per il braccio e mi sollevava da terra. Mi sentii un po' svenire mentre mi sollevava facilmente sul letto e mi immobilizzava con il peso del suo corpo.

Tremavo ma girai la testa, permettendogli di trascinare il naso lungo il mio collo e inspirare il mio odore. Non sapevo cosa sentisse con il mio odore. Gli piaceva? Poteva sentire cosa mi aveva fatto quella donna?

Sentiva che stavo mentendo? Rimasi immobile. Si spostò un po', apparentemente ritirandosi, e io gli gettai le braccia al collo, trattenendolo.

"Per favore, Re Alfa," dissi. La mia voce tremava anche se cercavo di sembrare seducente. "Sono... sicura di poterti piacere."

Le sue labbra si contrassero in un ghigno. Mi tirò via le braccia dal collo e si ritrasse. I suoi occhi lampeggiarono con il suo lupo. Il mio cuore sobbalzò. Mi rannicchiai in una palla, preparandomi a essere colpita o a essere urlata contro.

Chiusi gli occhi, troppo spaventata per guardarlo e vedere quale espressione avesse ora sul viso.

Tutto quello che potevo sperare era che mi uccidesse rapidamente se era quello che voleva.

Meglio morta che il destino che quella donna e mio padre avevano pianificato per me.

"Sai cosa succede quando menti al Re Alfa, bambina?"
