Chapter 1

Le point de vue d'Elona

Les rayons dorés du soleil de l'après-midi filtraient à travers les grands arbres bordant la rue alors que je marchais sur le chemin familier menant à la maison de Crislynn. Crislynn est ma meilleure amie depuis que nous avons six ans. Nous partageons la même rue, et ils nous ont accueillis chaleureusement lorsque mon père et moi avons emménagé ici à l'époque. C'était un quartier luxueux, mais les façades scintillantes des demeures n'étaient rien comparées aux rêves qui bouillonnaient en nous. Le cœur battant, je m'approchai de la maison familière avec son architecture élégante et son jardin bien entretenu. Je levai la main pour frapper à la porte, des papillons dans le ventre.

La porte s'ouvrit pour révéler Crislynn, ses cheveux auburn tombant en vagues autour de ses épaules. Ses yeux verts pétillants avaient une lueur de malice alors qu'elle me souriait. « Elona, tu es pile à l'heure. Entre donc ! »

Nous nous installâmes dans la cuisine. Je m'assis sur le tabouret au comptoir de la cuisine pendant que Crislynn nous versait du jus de raisin. Nous sommes en dernière année de lycée. L'année prochaine, nous allons entamer un nouveau chapitre de notre vie. « Mon père est parti pour assister à des réunions, alors je m'ennuyais, » dis-je alors qu'elle posait le jus de raisin devant moi. Mon père travaille dans l'immobilier, mais je suis toujours reconnaissante du temps qu'il prend pour être avec moi. Nous avons une excellente relation père/fille que je ne veux jamais briser.

« Je faisais des recherches sur les universités à fréquenter, » dit-elle en remettant le jus au réfrigérateur avant de se retourner vers moi. « C'est très difficile de choisir à quelle université postuler. Le journalisme est mon rêve, et je ne veux pas laisser mon père ici. Je m'inquiète pour lui, » dit-elle avec une pointe d'inquiétude.

Je me sentis désolée pour elle, elle était proche de son père aussi. Quand j'ai emménagé ici, j'ai eu le privilège de rencontrer sa mère, Estelle. Crislynn ressemblait à sa mère, mais elle avait les yeux verts forêt de son père. Sa mère est décédée il y a trois ans, et cela avait été difficile pour eux deux. Ma mère est décédée quand j'avais cinq ans et à ce moment-là, je ne voulais même pas y penser car j'étais censée remonter le moral de ma meilleure amie.

« Je suis sûre qu'il voudrait que tu vives ta vie et que tu t'amuses. » Je lui souris faiblement.

« Tu as vu comment il se plonge dans le travail et je lui suggérerais de recommencer à sortir, mais je doute fort qu'il le fasse, » soupira-t-elle lourdement.

« C'est son choix après tout, » je pris une gorgée de mon jus. Je dois admettre que j'ai un petit faible pour M. Crane, mais pas assez pour vouloir vraiment le poursuivre.

« Je suppose que tu as raison, » dit-elle.

« J'ai pensé à quelque chose que je pourrais envisager comme choix de carrière, » dis-je en gardant ma main sur le verre.

« Allez, dis-moi tout ! » elle était toujours si impatiente de savoir.

Je souris nerveusement. « Eh bien, j'ai beaucoup réfléchi à mon avenir ces derniers temps. Je veux poursuivre une carrière dans le mannequinat. »

Les yeux de Crislynn s'élargirent, un mélange de surprise et d'excitation. « Wow, Elona ! » Elle était stupéfaite. « Tu as le look et la confiance pour ça, sans aucun doute. Mais tu es encore timide d'une certaine manière. »

Je ne pus m'empêcher de rougir à ses paroles. « Merci, Crislynn. C'est juste que j'ai fait des recherches sur les agences et parlé à des gens, et je crois vraiment que je peux y arriver. Je ne saurai jamais si je ne tente pas et peut-être que cette timidité disparaîtra. J'y réfléchis encore, mais pour l'instant, s'il te plaît, ne dis rien à personne jusqu'à ce que j'aie pris une décision et que j'en aie parlé à mon père. »

Le sourire de Crislynn s'élargit. « Je promets, je ne dirai rien à personne. Je n'ai aucun doute que tu seras géniale, Elona. Et tu pourras compter sur moi pour t'encourager à chaque étape. »

« Cela signifie beaucoup et tu sais que je ferai de même pour toi, » dis-je en souriant.

« Bien sûr. Maintenant, il ne reste plus qu'à remettre mon père sur le marché des rencontres, » dit-elle. Nous entendîmes la porte d'entrée s'ouvrir et se refermer, et je savais qui c'était. Mon cœur battait la chamade dans ma poitrine à ce soudain sentiment de nervosité et d'excitation.

Tout à coup, je me tendis en entendant la voix de M. Crane derrière moi, « Bon après-midi, les filles, » dit-il, et Crislynn lui sourit par-dessus mon épaule.

« Salut, papa. Tu es rentré assez tôt, » dit-elle. M. Crane apparut à côté de moi alors que je l'apercevais. M. Crane était indéniablement séduisant, avec des traits marqués et un charisme qui semblait rayonner sans effort. C'était comme s'il était habitué aux projecteurs, même dans les murs de sa propre maison.

« Comment vas-tu, Elona ? » Il me regarda avec ces yeux verts forêt qui me hantent parfois dans mes rêves. Je me raclai la gorge.

« Je vais bien, M. Crane. » Je souris et baissai les yeux sur mon jus. Je sentais la chaleur monter dans mes joues. Je n'avais jamais ressenti cela à ce niveau auparavant.

« C'est bon à savoir, » répondit-il, et sa voix était très veloutée. « As-tu fait des recherches sur les universités auxquelles tu veux postuler ? » demanda-t-il à Crislynn en se dirigeant vers le placard, atteignant le haut pour prendre un verre. J'aperçus ses muscles fins à travers son costume trois pièces noir Armani. Cela ne m'aidait pas non plus.

« Oui, j'ai regardé, mais nous avons aussi des devoirs. Nous avons un essai à écrire. Est-ce que c'est d'accord si Elona reste dîner ? Son père est en réunion et c'est vendredi soir. Je peux commander une pizza pour nous, » dit-elle.

Quand mes yeux retrouvèrent M. Crane, il buvait de l'eau dans son verre en me regardant intensément jusqu'à ce qu'il cesse de boire. « Cela me convient, en attendant, j'ai du travail à rattraper dans le bureau, » dit-il en se retournant et en plaçant le verre vide dans l'évier avant de s'éloigner.

Mon cœur battait la chamade, et pour la première fois, je le vis vraiment, non seulement comme le père de Crislynn, mais comme un homme. Et quand ses yeux rencontrèrent les miens pour un bref instant, je réalisai avec un sursaut que mon petit béguin pour lui était bien plus que cela.

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."
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. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

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.

From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
