Chapter 1

La vita non è una favola. La vita è dura e dolorosa. È oscura e vuota. Forse per la maggior parte delle persone è felice e sempre soleggiata, ma non è così per me. Chi sono io? Mi chiamo Rain, senza cognome, solo Rain. Sono una strega orfana nel branco di lupi mannari del Fiume Blu. Mi sono sempre chiesta come fossero i miei genitori e perché mi abbiano abbandonata in un branco di lupi. Non mi amavano, ero un errore, sono ancora vivi? Non conoscerò mai le risposte alle tante domande che ho, e dubito di avere un futuro.

Tutti nel branco mi odiano, beh, tutti tranne la mia migliore amica Jessica Tompson, un'altra orfana. I suoi genitori sono stati uccisi in un attacco di lupi solitari quando lei aveva 7 anni. Con tutta la sua famiglia morta, anche se è nata nel branco, è diventata un'orfana proprio come me. Solo che quando compirà 17 anni avrà il suo lupo e il suo posto nella casa del branco, mentre io diventerò una schiava del branco. Non avrò nemmeno i miei poteri fino alla prossima luna piena dopo il mio diciassettesimo compleanno, non che abbia qualcuno che mi insegni a usarli.

Oh sì, il mio compleanno dovrebbe essere tra tre settimane (il branco non conosceva la mia vera data di nascita, quindi hanno solo ipotizzato), e il compleanno di Jessica è una settimana e mezzo prima del mio. Forse è per questo che andiamo così d'accordo. Il branco organizza ancora una festa di compleanno per lei con una torta e dei regali, dato che tecnicamente è ancora un membro. Anche se non fanno una festa per me, lei tiene sempre qualche regalo incartato per me e mi fa anche una piccola torta di compleanno, visto che non ho una festa perché non faccio parte del branco.

A volte vorrei non essere mai nata. La mia vita è stata lunga e miserabile. Ma Jessica cerca sempre di renderla migliore. Passiamo la maggior parte delle nostre notti nella nostra piccola stanza, sui nostri letti a castello a parlare. Parliamo sempre di qualcosa di diverso. Jess dice che è per non farmi annoiare, ma penso che sia solo perché non le piace ripetersi. Ma la Dea sa quanto le piace parlare e quanto a me piace ascoltarla.

"Rainie bug... Rainie... Rain!" urla Jess mentre calcia il fondo del letto a castello per svegliarmi.

"Sono sveglia, sono sveglia!" mi lamento, strofinandomi gli occhi.

"Oh, grazie alla Dea per un altro bellissimo giorno di sole" sorride Jess guardando fuori dalla finestra. "Sono così emozionata, non posso credere che manchino solo due settimane e avrò il mio lupo e potrò sentire il mio compagno! Spero che sia bello."

"Jess, cos'è un compagno?" chiedo mentre scendo dal letto a castello.

"Un compagno è la tua metà, la tua anima gemella, la persona che è destinata ad amarti e a prendersi cura di te per il resto della tua vita." dice con un sorriso sul volto.

"Avrò un compagno?" chiedo pensando a quanto sarebbe bello.

"Non ne sono sicura, non so molto di come funzionano queste cose per le streghe." dice mentre camminiamo per il corridoio.

"Oh ok," rispondo piattamente. Sapevo che sembrava troppo bello per essere vero per me.

"Non preoccuparti Rainie bug. Compagno o no, avrai sempre me al tuo fianco." dice con un sorriso.

"Ti voglio bene, Jess," dico con un piccolo sorriso mentre scendo le scale dell'orfanotrofio e mi dirigo verso la cucina per iniziare a preparare la colazione per gli orfani più piccoli.

Dopo che tutti hanno mangiato, Jess ed io ci assicuriamo che siano vestiti e abbiano tutto ciò di cui hanno bisogno prima che Jess li accompagni a scuola. Quando tutti se ne sono andati, è il momento di iniziare le pulizie quotidiane. Ci sono otto camere da letto, la cucina, il soggiorno e due bagni da pulire, poi passo al bucato e rifaccio i letti prima di iniziare a preparare la cena per tutti. Sono l'unica che ha dovuto pulire e cucinare da quando avevo otto anni. La signora Leana dice che è per prepararmi e addestrarmi per quando compirò 17 anni e diventerò la schiava del branco e mi trasferiranno nel seminterrato della casa del branco.

"Rain, sono tornata da scuola," chiama Jess mentre sale le scale e entra in una delle camere dove mi trovo. Quando mi giro, può vedere il panico sul mio viso e realizza che non ho finito di pulire o nemmeno iniziato a preparare la cena. E sappiamo entrambe che se tutto non è perfetto quando arriva la signora Leana per la sua passeggiata settimanale con l'Alfa per mostrargli quanto tiene pulito tutto, si sentirà imbarazzata davanti all'Alfa e io verrò frustata di nuovo.

"Oh no. Non sei nemmeno completamente guarita dalle ultime frustate che hai ricevuto." Dice in preda al panico mentre si mette in azione correndo a iniziare il bucato e la cena mentre io finisco le ultime due stanze. Dopo circa venti minuti i pavimenti sono spazzati e lavati, i giocattoli dei bambini sono messi nei loro contenitori, i letti sono ben rifatti e le finestre sono state pulite.

"L'unica cosa che rimane sono le scale," dico a me stessa. Prendo rapidamente il mio straccio bagnato e corro fuori dalla porta della camera e lungo il corridoio. Quando arrivo al primo gradino e inizio a pulirlo, la porta d'ingresso si apre. "Sono fottuta," sussurro a me stessa, assicurandomi di dirlo abbastanza piano da non farmi sentire. Scendo le scale e giro l'angolo, la signora Leana cammina a pochi passi dietro l'Alfa mentre ispeziona la casa. Lei mi vede nascondermi nell'angolo e se gli sguardi potessero uccidere, sono sicura che sarei già morta.

Dopo dieci minuti di ispezione della casa da parte dell'Alfa, lui si complimenta con la signora Leana per come tiene tutto pulito, le consegna un assegno bonus e se ne va. Appena se ne va, so cosa aspettarmi. Mi afferra per i capelli e mi trascina nel seminterrato dove tiene le sue fruste. Mi incatena i polsi al muro e mi strappa la maglietta per scoprire la schiena.

"Piccola stronza. Ti vesto e ti do da mangiare e tu scegli di imbarazzarmi davanti al mio Alfa!" Urla mentre fa scendere la frusta con forza sulla mia schiena nuda.

"No, signora Leana, mi dispiace. È stato un errore. Per favore perdonami." La supplico tra i denti serrati, cercando con tutte le mie forze di non piangere perché so che piangere peggiorerebbe solo la situazione per me. L'unica cosa che odia più di essere fatta sembrare male davanti all'Alfa è un'orfana che piange... Beh, quello e me.

Dopo alcune altre frustate, finalmente ha finito. "Pulisciti e prepara la cena. I bambini torneranno presto da scuola e vorranno mangiare," dice prima di risalire le scale e uscire dalla porta principale per andare a fare shopping con il suo bel bonus.

"Oh Dea Rainie, questa volta è peggio dell'ultima. Perché non capisce che non sei un lupo, ci metti molto più tempo a guarire." Piange Jess mentre scende le scale sbloccando le catene che tengono i miei polsi al muro e valutando i danni fatti alla mia schiena. "Stai ferma così posso pulirti."

"Non c'è tempo, Jess, devo preparare la cena prima che i bambini tornino da scuola," dico cercando di alzarmi.

"È già tutto fatto, ora stai ferma come ti ho detto così posso pulirti." Dice mentre inizia a pulire delicatamente la mia schiena con uno straccio caldo e bagnato. "Non vuoi che i bambini ti vedano così, vero?"

"Sei una salvatrice, cosa farò senza di te quando te ne andrai?" dico.

“I thought we discussed this earlier, Weakness? I warned you. His death is on your hands.”
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.


Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.

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.
