Chapter 1

Temperança

Meus olhos se abrem lentamente. A superfície fria e dura contra minhas costas me lembra que ainda estou na sala de estar. Minha cabeça lateja com a náusea subindo pela garganta.

Eu me levanto trêmula, cada nervo falhando em meus esforços. Sinto dor por todo o corpo. Meu corpo balança no lugar, quase desabando.

A sensação de queimação no meu peito aumenta a cada respiração que tomo. Talvez meu estômago tenha sofrido outra hemorragia interna.

Memórias da noite passada enchem minha mente enquanto me encolho na minha posição, sentindo os calafrios sobre meu corpo quase descoberto. Cada tapa, soco e chute voltam, me engolfando em tristeza. Vale a pena ter sua filha estuprada? Tudo por drogas que não lhe fizeram bem?

Tudo dói tanto que tenho que mancar até meu quarto. Choques de dor entorpecente atingem meu estômago inferior a cada passo que dou. Mordo o lábio, forçando os flashbacks da brutalidade daquele homem desconhecido a desaparecerem.

Eu não estou nada bem.

Minhas emoções se tornaram estagnadas. A batalha que luto ficou turva. Enquanto vejo inúmeras sombras flutuando acima, continuo a me afogar.

Enquanto tomo banho para lavar os resquícios da noite passada, minhas feridas ardem com a água quente escorrendo sobre elas.

Minha boca se curva em um sorriso amargo. Quando olho no espelho, o reflexo gravou o fato de que eu não tinha mais a pele pálida e cremosa de antes. Está cheia de descolorações por toda parte.

Meus olhos caem sobre os hematomas arroxeados nas minhas coxas. Passo os dedos sobre meu estômago e peito, onde a concentração de hematomas está no auge.

Virando de lado, noto meus ossos do quadril espreitando para fora do meu corpo. Comida é um luxo para mim e é por isso que pareço mais desnutrida do que magra. Se eu tentar pegar comida escondida, serei punida. Um tipo de surra que deixa vergões no meu corpo.

A única coisa boa que vem da minha desnutrição é como isso faz minhas curvas se destacarem. Estremeço ao ver a marca de mão deixada no meu pescoço e um olho roxo que contrasta com meu rosto pálido.

Meus pensamentos vagam para as únicas duas pessoas que posso chamar de amigos, Nicole e Ryan. Eles estão comigo há anos.

Minha mãe e a mãe de Nicole, Emily, eram amigas desde os tempos de escola, o que estabeleceu a base para a amizade entre mim e Nicole. Ryan entrou em nossas vidas quando Nicole e eu começamos a escola primária. E ele completou nosso trio.

Eles não sabem sobre o abuso. Ninguém sabe.

Meu pai sempre me diz que ninguém vai acreditar de qualquer maneira. Por quê? Porque essa é a imagem que ninguém poderia ter dele.

Depois de trocar para um novo conjunto de roupas íntimas, vasculho o armário, procurando roupas que possam esconder minha realidade dos outros. Visto um par de jeans skinny, ignorando a dor. Embora machuque os hematomas, sinto-me muito mais segura com tudo bem escondido. O moletom azul claro esconde meu corpo superior.

E lá estou eu, fresca, escondendo a escuridão que é minha vida.

Pego minha mochila, pronta para acabar com este dia. Mas logo passos marcham atrás de mim e antes que eu possa me defender, sou puxada para trás por uma mão áspera agarrando um punhado do meu cabelo recém-penteado. "Vadia! Onde diabos você pensa que vai?"

Um gemido escapa da minha boca enquanto caio com o impacto. Uma dor severa percorre meu braço enquanto ele me atinge com seu chute mais forte. Haverá um hematoma. Sempre há.

"Onde você vai, vagabunda?"

"Eu-eu-eu estou indo p-para a escola," uma tosse interrompe meu corpo enquanto sangue espirra junto com ela. Ele força meu queixo para cima, me fazendo encará-lo. Não posso protestar e estreito os olhos para meu agressor.

"É melhor você voltar direto para casa depois da escola. Se não voltar, vou garantir que você se arrependa de não ter morrido junto com sua mãe." Com isso, ele solta meu queixo, que já começou a doer. Sua figura se mistura no corredor, me deixando com um rastro de sangue escorrendo pelo canto da minha boca — descendo pelo queixo.

12:30 da tarde...

Eu me sento no fundo da sala na maior parte do tempo, inclusive nas aulas de inglês. Normalmente, sou deixada sozinha, pois fui rotulada como "a garota rica que ficou pobre". Sou um símbolo de má sorte, eles acreditam que a mesma coisa poderia acontecer com eles. Ou me ignoram ou me provocam para saciar sua vaidade.

Sou provocada com frequência, mas hoje, com a adição da dor entorpecente devastando meu corpo, estou irritada.

O forte perfume enche meu nariz. Sabrina, a bruxa. Seu rosto está coberto de maquiagem que não combina com seu tom de pele. Seus cílios parecem pernas de mosca e seus lábios estão pintados de um vermelho nojento que pessoas sem conhecimento de maquiagem preferem.

"O que houve com o olho roxo, Temp?" Eu sei muito bem o quão falsas são suas palavras e como ela só quer me provocar. Olho para meu pulso, focando em afastar minha crescente ansiedade. Sinto suas unhas falsas contornarem meu olho roxo. Viro a cabeça de lado, afastando suas mãos.

"Sua vadia estúpida." Ela rosna com minha reação, pronta para dar um golpe.

"Olá, classe! Todos, por favor, sentem-se." Nossa professora entra, interrompendo-a a tempo.

Tremendo, Sabrina me lança um olhar gelado. Então ela balança os quadris de volta para seu assento. Eu me sinto desconfortável. Ela pode planejar algo para mais tarde. Exalo e me inclino sobre a mesa. Meu corpo dói e minha cabeça lateja violentamente. Estou faminta, e meu cérebro se recusa a cooperar.

De repente, a voz da professora se destaca. "Ah, Sr. Turner, que bom que pôde se juntar a nós."

Um rapaz alto entra. Meus olhos o seguem enquanto ele chega ao púlpito da professora. A dormência no meu coração diminui e um lampejo de eletricidade surge. Acelera.

Ele é alto o suficiente para pairar sobre a professora e sua aura exala beleza, atraindo vários olhares. Ele estava com sua jaqueta de couro característica, a camisa preta definindo seu torso. Ele acena para a professora e olha ao redor da sala até que nossos olhos se encontram por um breve segundo. O calor sobe às minhas bochechas enquanto desvio o olhar, olhando para minhas mãos. Sempre detestei ser pega olhando.

"Vá se sentar ao lado da Srta. Andrews." A Sra. Delilah gesticula na minha direção.

Um sorriso de canto aparece em seus lábios finos enquanto ele se dirige à minha mesa. Reviro os olhos com seu comportamento excessivamente confiante. Ele se senta ao meu lado, jogando sua mochila no chão.

"O que aconteceu com seu olho?" Ele se vira para mim.

Viro para o outro lado, inconscientemente envolvendo meus braços ao redor de mim mesma para conforto.

Posso sentir ele me estudando. Seus olhos queimam na minha pele, fazendo minha cabeça esquentar. Isso faz minha pele coçar e seu olhar firme aumenta minha irritação. Quero dizer para ele parar. Mas não posso.

Não posso falar. Porque se eu falar uma vez, levará a outra e logo mais. Isso levará a uma amizade. E eu não posso fazer amigos além dos que já tenho. É muito arriscado.

"Você é bem quieta, flor." Ele sussurra baixo para que só eu possa ouvir.

Flor? Por que ele me chamaria de flor?

Estou longe disso.

I shouldn’t care.

I don’t care.

It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.

It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.

I’m not here to rescue anyone.

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.
