Chapter 1

Rose

Ela estava ao lado do irmão, inquieta com o braço dele ao redor de seus ombros, enquanto esperavam Kalani terminar com Jackie. Aiden apertou seus ombros, e ela envolveu um braço ao redor da cintura dele.

"Ela vai ficar bem, Rosie," ele a tranquilizou.

"E se ela não aceitar realmente um dragão?"

Seus ombros caíram, e ele a puxou mais para perto, beijando sua testa. "Isso não vai mudar nada de qualquer maneira. Ela ainda é a nossa Jackie."

Ela se colocou na frente dele, encarando-o enquanto seus braços imediatamente a puxavam para perto. Ele enterrou o rosto no pescoço dela, respirando fundo. Ela se aconchegou em seu peito, aliviada por não ser a única ansiosa com a tia estando sozinha na cabeça de seu companheiro. Ele ergueu o rosto dela para olhar em seus olhos.

"Respire, minha flor. Nossa pequena humana é mais forte do que você pensa."

"Mas e se-"

Ele esfregou o lábio inferior dela, fazendo-a parar de falar. "Não haverá 'e se' preocupante. Eu sei que você se sente assim porque você é a próxima Mãe dos Dragões, mas isso não significa que você tem que ser sempre forte. Mamãe não é. Ela se apoia no Papai. Apoie-se em nós, Rose. Não vamos deixar você falhar."

Ela suspirou enquanto seu corpo relaxava. "Você é igual ao Papai," ela disse a ele.

Ele riu enquanto a puxava contra o peito novamente antes de deitar a bochecha no topo da cabeça dela.

"Ele ama a Mamãe e faria qualquer coisa por ela. Ele daria a vida por ela. Não há melhor exemplo de amor verdadeiro do que eles."

Ela riu. "Eu conheço um! Talvez 2 ou 3..."

Ele gemeu. "Tia Lily, Tia Kalani e nossos avós não contam. Meu ponto é, você não está sozinha. Você tem a mim e a Jackie, e nós temos você. Você não precisa ser sempre uma rainha."

Quando a energia aumentou na sala, Rose se afastou dele enquanto Kalani começava a acordar. Ambos se moveram para a cama, nervosamente parados ao lado dela enquanto Kalani se orientava. Ela se sentou, se espreguiçando antes de sorrir para eles.

"Quando ela acordar, vocês vão conhecer Junie. Ela é linda. É completamente branca, sem uma gota de cor em lugar nenhum." Ela se levantou da cama. "Então, qual é o plano agora?"

"Mamãe quer que eu cuide disso. Ela disse que é minha visão, então é meu trabalho, mas estou com medo. E se eu não conseguir fazer isso? E se eu errar e custar a Merlot sua companheira? E se-"

Aiden pegou a mão dela, apertando-a. Ela tentou discretamente puxar a mão dele, fazendo Kalani rir enquanto se dirigia à porta. Ela acenou com a mão sobre o ombro.

"Quanto a isso, Rose, vou te contar algo que a Jackie não vai. Ela quer ver vocês dois felizes como ela está. Ela sabe que vocês estão lutando contra o que sentem um pelo outro. Todos nós sabemos. Ela quer que vocês estejam mais juntos, sentindo o que ela sente."

"Não estamos dormindo juntos. Nem sequer nos beijamos. Somos irmãos. Nós-"

"Não são parentes, Rose. Vocês podem compartilhar os mesmos pais, mas seus dragões não são relacionados. Nenhum dos nossos dragões é relacionado a qualquer outro ser existente. A Deusa nos fez assim por um motivo. Somos destinados a poder salvar qualquer espécie. É por isso que Lucy conseguiu salvar os sabres. Nosso DNA é codificado com tudo. Animais, que, posso te lembrar, vocês são, se reproduzem com seus parentes o tempo todo e ficam bem. Vindo da linha do trio, seus dragões são mais fortes do que a média, então vocês sentirão a atração um pelo outro mais intensamente." Ela suspirou enquanto respirava fundo. "Vocês serão mais fortes sendo marcados um pelo outro, e com o que está por vir, vocês vão precisar disso. Todos esperamos que vocês dois consigam resolver isso logo."

"Mas somos irmãos," ela repetiu. "Não quero ser a razão pela qual nossa família seja desonrada."

Kalani riu. "A única desonra que você pode nos trazer é não ouvindo a Deusa. Já se passaram 18 anos, Roselynn, agora estamos nos preparando para a guerra. Você pode fazer isso. Todos sabemos que você pode. Mas você precisa dele, e está tudo bem. Você não precisa fazer sexo se não quiser, mas vocês foram feitos para serem ligados."

Ela saiu do quarto, deixando os dois sozinhos.

"E agora?"

Ela pressionou os dedos nos olhos. "Primeiro, vamos para Locust esperar lá, e depois devemos conversar."

"Conversar... Eu sei o que quero, Rose."

Ela suspirou enquanto se movia para os braços dele. "Eu também. Pegue a Jackie e vamos."

Ele a puxou para mais perto por um momento antes de beijar sua bochecha e deixá-la ir para pegar Jackie. Rose abriu um portal e se afastou para deixá-lo carregar Jackie através dele. Assim que passaram, gritos aterrorizados e agonizantes saudaram seus ouvidos. Rose saiu correndo, disparando em direção às vozes elevadas enquanto ele gritava atrás dela para esperar. Ela correu escada acima, indo direto para o quarto de Merlot, de onde sabia que vinham os gritos histéricos. Ela invadiu o quarto, sua aura entrando antes dela. As três criadas, tentando tirar as duas meninas do chão, congelaram imediatamente. Elas se ajoelharam aos pés dela.

"Princesa Roselynn."

Ela se enrijeceu, deixando sua agitação transparecer claramente no rosto. "O que vocês estão fazendo?"

"Disseram a elas que não podiam estar aqui, Vossa Majestade. Estamos tentando removê-las antes que o futuro Alfa Merlot volte da Conferência dos Felinos."

"Bem, até ele voltar, elas devem ser deixadas em paz."

"Mas, Princesa Roselynn, ele nos deixou instruções rigorosas para não permitir-"

Ela endireitou as costas, ficando ainda mais alta. "Vou dizer isso uma vez, a menos que queiram que suas vidas terminem por tocá-las, vocês vão deixá-las em paz e deixar Merlot lidar com isso quando ele voltar para casa."

As três mulheres suspiraram em sincronia. "Sim, Princesa Roselynn."

"Esperem aqui!"

Ela se aproximou para se ajoelhar na frente das meninas, que imediatamente tentaram se encolher. Ela sorriu enquanto pegava a mão de Margo.

"Você está com fome, Margo?" murmurou quase silenciosamente para não assustá-las. "Quando foi a última vez que você comeu algo?"

Margo não respondeu, nem mesmo quando Rose apertou sua mão enquanto passava energia de cura através dela. Ela virou a cabeça para sorrir para Jenna.

"Oi, Jenna, querida. Você gostaria de comer?"

Ela olhou nervosamente para Margo. "Sim, mas não queremos ser drogadas."

Rose virou a cabeça para fuzilar as criadas com o olhar. "Quem drogou vocês?"

"Para nos tirar daqui. Eles me deram um comprimido para dormir. Margo não come desde que chegamos aqui. Ela não confia em ninguém."

Rose soltou a mão de Margo para segurar a de Jenna. "Eu entendo por quê. Vocês não foram tratadas muito bem desde que chegaram aqui. É hora de consertarmos isso. Que tal isso? Você vem comigo para a cozinha e prepara sua própria comida, ou se você não souber cozinhar, eu preparo sua comida, e depois trazemos de volta para cá e eu como com você para que saiba que não há nada nela."

Jenna olhou ansiosamente para Margo. "Margo? Estou com muita fome," sussurrou.

Sua irmã suspirou. "Você vai trazê-la de volta aqui?" Rose assentiu. "Você não vai tentar nos fazer sair também?"

"Não."

"Por quê?"

Rose sorriu para ela. "Porque eu sei coisas que as pessoas gostariam de saber."

"O que você sabe?"

"Que vocês pertencem aqui conosco, e vai haver um inferno para pagar quando meu primo voltar para casa."

Margo estudou seu rosto por um momento antes de assentir. "Ok, Jenna, você pode ir."

Rose se levantou enquanto Jenna se agarrava à irmã por um momento antes de se levantar também. Rose olhou por cima do ombro quando sentiu o cheiro de Aiden. Ela acenou com a mão para ele.

"Este é Aiden. Ele é... ele é um dos meus companheiros," ela disse a Margo, corando. "Ele vai proteger você até que Jenna e eu voltemos." Ela pegou a mão de Jenna para guiá-la para fora do quarto, parando ao lado de Aiden para olhar para ele. "Ninguém entra ou sai."

Ele assentiu enquanto olhava nos olhos dela. Quando finalmente conseguiu desviar o olhar dos dele, ordenou que as criadas saíssem. A porta se fechou suavemente atrás dela, e ela soltou um suspiro trêmulo de alívio. Estava prestes a virar a esquina quando ele chamou seu nome. Ela se virou para ele, observando enquanto ele se apressava até ela. Suas garras rasgaram seu rosto, pescoço e peito, fazendo a dor percorrer seu corpo antes que o fogo dele a acalmasse. Ela o encarou de olhos arregalados. Tocou sua pele com uma mão trêmula.

"O que você fez?"

"Você me reivindicou como seu companheiro. Eu me recuso a deixar você voltar atrás."

Ele voltou pelo corredor para se encostar na parede. Ela pigarreou antes de acenar com a cabeça pelo corredor.

"Vamos."

Ela levou Jenna até a cozinha, onde mostrou a ela como fazer sanduíches de queijo grelhado e sopa de tomate enlatada, enquanto pensava o tempo todo na única marca que tinha. Quando uma bandeja de servir foi preparada com quatro tigelas e quatro pratos cheios de comida, Rose entrelaçou seu braço com o de Jenna para levá-la de volta ao quarto de Merlot enquanto a bandeja flutuava atrás delas. Ela diminuiu o passo quando chegou ao topo das escadas, nervosa por vê-lo depois do que aconteceu. Jenna sorriu para ela.

"Está tudo bem ficar nervosa. Seu irmão te ama."

Rose a olhou. "O que você é?" perguntou nervosamente.

Jenna deu de ombros. "Não sei, mas seja o que for, está ficando mais forte."

"Hmmmm..."

Aiden abriu a porta para elas, e Jenna soltou um pequeno grito quando Margo não estava à vista. Ela lançou um olhar furioso para Aiden antes de correr para o banheiro. Ela voltou, tremendo.

"O que você fez com a Margo?" ela gritou, se preparando para atacá-lo.

Rose se colocou na frente dele. "Ele não fez nada. Ela está aqui em algum lugar. Só precisamos..."

A energia luminosa a atraiu para a varanda, onde o som de uma respiração quase inaudível mal podia ser ouvido. Ela empurrou a porta e ficou paralisada enquanto tentava absorver a cena à sua frente. Margo estava enraizada no lugar com a cabeça inclinada para trás para que o calor do sol atingisse seu rosto. Seus traços faciais haviam desaparecido, deixando uma superfície colorida, lisa, quase com aparência de cetim. Toda a pele visível tinha a mesma aparência, junto com o que pareciam ser crescimentos afiados ao longo de seus membros. Não havia nada que sugerisse a humanidade de Margo. Ela olhou curiosamente para Jenna.

"O que ela está fazendo?"

"Comendo."

"O que diabos vocês são?"

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.
