Introduction

Os olhos de Wyatt encontraram os meus, e juro que os vi brilhar dourado por um breve momento. O sol estava entrando pela janela de forma intensa, então provavelmente era apenas um truque da luz.

***

Wyatt sorriu e por um momento, foi como se meu coração pulasse para fora do peito. Ele parecia uma estrela de cinema ali em pé com o sol da manhã atrás dele. Seu cabelo castanho estava estilizado um pouco mais do que o habitual, com cachos mais proeminentes por toda parte e afastado do rosto. Sua barba, que normalmente era mais como uma barba por fazer espessa nas bochechas e queixo, tinha crescido um pouco mais, e eu me perguntava como não tinha notado isso esta manhã.

Foi quando percebi que nunca realmente me permiti olhar para ele por mais do que alguns momentos. Se tivesse, teria notado a manga completa de tatuagens que ele tinha no braço esquerdo - *especialmente* quando ele estava sem camisa esta manhã. Ou teria notado que sim, ele era sexy. Sim, ele era lindo. Mas ele também era bastante bonito e parecia ter um ar doce sobre ele...

***

Sacudi aquele pensamento da minha cabeça. Como um alfa, ele nem estaria por aí com alguma mulher aleatória - e definitivamente não uma que parecesse humana em vez de uma lobisomem.

***

Wrenlee "Lucky" Jones queria manter um perfil baixo. Droga, sua vida dependia disso. Mas quando completou 18 anos e descobriu que uma paixão de longa data na verdade era seu companheiro lobisomem predestinado, as coisas se complicaram rapidamente. Em questão de semanas, ela se vê vítima de uma antiga maldição e tem que lutar contra entidades mágicas e seu teimoso e autoritário companheiro, que por acaso era o Rei Alfa do Domínio dos Apalaches. De repente, presa entre o destino, o medo e o amor, Wrenlee precisa navegar pela maldição que a cerca e tomar decisões que não só custarão a ela... mas também custarão ao seu companheiro. (Livro introdutório para os Romances do Domínio dos Apalaches, contado em perspectivas alternadas)

Chapter 1

"Hey, Lucky! Você pode vir me ajudar com isso?"

Girei e olhei ao redor até meus olhos encontrarem Mike do outro lado da sala. O adolescente desengonçado e magricela estava lutando para carregar uma caixa sobrecarregada de xaropes da porta para a área dos fundos. Com um sorriso, caminhei até ele e baguncei os cabelos ruivos e enferrujados no topo de sua cabeça antes de pegar a caixa de suas mãos sem esforço.

Ele bateu as mãos juntas, rolou os ombros dramaticamente para trás e me lançou um sorriso cheio de dentes, "Nossa, obrigado. Tão bom ter um homem como você por perto."

"Ah, sei lá," revirei os olhos e me afastei para a área de armazenamento dos fundos, "Mais tarde você vai estar reclamando de ter uma garota 'gata' como eu roubando todas as suas gorjetas. Decida-se, Mikey Mike."

Um silêncio se seguiu enquanto a porta se fechava atrás de mim. Coloquei a caixa no chão e olhei ao redor da sala bem abastecida. Adam e Sandy deveriam se sentir bem com o que tinham agora. Uma sala bem abastecida que precisava ser reabastecida quase diariamente significava que os negócios estavam ótimos. Sendo primavera, era a entressafra nos Apalaches de Kentucky e os últimos anos tinham sido incrivelmente difíceis para sobreviver. Este ano, eles passaram de ficar na loja quase 24 horas por dia apenas para pagar as contas, para contratar dois funcionários e quase nunca estar lá. Era estranho, mas eu estava orgulhosa deles.

O Café O'lait era o principal ponto de café da cidade de Blackwater Falls. Fui contratada quase três anos antes e vi muitos altos e baixos durante esse tempo. Nos momentos difíceis, deixei Adam e Sandy me pagarem com comida e o quarto no andar de cima que eu ocupava. Quando as coisas estavam boas, eles me proporcionavam bem. Agora que as coisas estavam ótimas, eles pareciam menos estressados e eu estava ganhando mais dinheiro do que nunca. E a outra adição, Mike? Ele era tão sólido quanto um estudante do ensino médio ruivo poderia ser. Não tenho certeza se ele tinha muitos amigos fora do trabalho, o que era ruim, mas pelo menos eu podia tornar as coisas divertidas para ele enquanto ele estava aqui. Ele parecia um pouco nerd e desajeitado, mas sempre tinha as melhores intenções com todos que encontrava.

Ao entrar de volta no café, Mike se apoiou no balcão e enfiou o resto de um croissant na boca. Arqueei uma sobrancelha e apoiei uma mão no quadril. Ele terminou de mastigar e antes de engolir, perguntou, "Então, falando em gorjetas... é quarta-feira. Você acha que ele vai aparecer hoje?"

Meu coração pode ter dado um salto. Será que era realmente quarta-feira? Como pude esquecer enquanto me preparava para o trabalho hoje? Eu sempre pelo menos tentava parecer decente às quartas-feiras. Cuidadosamente, me vi refletida na janela que levava à sala de estoque. Não tão mal. Provavelmente deveria ter tomado banho porque meu cabelo estava um pouco oleoso. Prendi meu cabelo para trás, fazendo um coque rápido e prendendo com o elástico que mantinha no pulso.

Enquanto Mike continuava a sorrir para mim, limpei a garganta e me posicionei atrás do balcão, "Sabe, para um garoto do ensino médio heterossexual, você parece super preocupado com o Wyatt e quando ele vai aparecer."

"Ahá!" Mike gargalhou, enquanto o sino tocava sobre a porta e assumíamos nossas posições, "Eu sabia! Eu fico fora por uma semana e te obrigo a anotar o pedido dele e vocês já estão se tratando pelo primeiro nome," ele endireitou as costas, alongando sua aparência já esguia, "Você usou o velho truque de 'Desculpe, estamos muito ocupados, posso pegar um nome para o seu pedido' como eu te disse?" Eu corei intensamente enquanto Mike continuava, "Ou você apenas piscou para ele e ficou em silêncio no computador como sempre faz quando ele está por perto?"

"Na verdade," uma voz profunda disse do outro lado do balcão e senti meu rubor se aprofundar pelo menos dois tons enquanto a sala de repente ficava muito quente, "Eu apenas disse a ela meu nome e que achei ela bonita. Ainda não descobri o dela, no entanto."

Minha boca ficou seca. Vi Mike coçar a cabeça, "Desculpe por isso, Wyatt. O que posso preparar para você?"

"Sem problemas, Mike," Wyatt sorriu um sorriso deslumbrante e perfeito e senti minha respiração prender, "Vou querer o de sempre," ele se inclinou levemente para frente, "e seu nome desta vez, linda."

Demorei muito para perceber que ele estava falando comigo agora e não com o Mike. Ele riu enquanto eu abria e fechava a boca repetidamente, como um peixe fora d'água, e juro que poderia ter derretido. Estava quente e maravilhoso. Meu coração disparou quando disse tremulamente, "Me chamam de Lucky. Está escrito no meu crachá. Não sabe ler?"

Espera, eu acabei de insultá-lo?

O sorriso de Wyatt desapareceu lentamente, até desaparecer por completo. Mike levantou a mão e deu um tapa na testa. Olhei para Wyatt e abri a boca para falar, e ele apenas balançou a cabeça, "Você se importaria de começar meu café, Lucky?" Juro que vi seus olhos olharem para minhas mãos trêmulas por um momento, "Tenho um lugar para ir."

Mike e eu tivemos um turno bastante tranquilo depois do constrangimento com Wyatt - tanto em termos de clientes quanto de nossa conversa. Exceto por um rápido, "você achou que insultá-lo era flertar com ele?"


Fechamos o café por volta das 17h, como em qualquer outro dia. Também como em qualquer outro dia, Mike pegou sua bicicleta e partiu pela rua. Ele estava a cerca de um quarteirão de distância quando se virou e acenou adeus. Acenei de volta e lhe dei um pequeno sorriso, embora a interação com Wyatt ainda estivesse atormentando minha mente.

Isso não era um filme, era a vida real. Insultar um cara bonito não levava a romances ardentes. E eu nem queria um romance ardente, então por que estava agindo interessada? Espera. Quem eu estava enganando? Interessada? Eu estava agindo como uma criança estúpida que não sabia nada sobre caras ou a vida em geral. Aquilo não era eu, e certamente não era como eu agia com estranhos.

Enquanto terminava de trancar a porta com esse fluxo de pensamentos sem sentido, tentei sacudir a cabeça fisicamente para clarear um pouco. Consegui lembrar da pequena lista de coisas que precisava fazer antes de me acomodar para a noite: compras, banho, jantar, verificar a segurança... Dormir. Repetir pela eternidade.

A ida ao supermercado foi quase tão curta quanto a lista de compras que eu podia pagar com as gorjetas do dia. Voltei para o café. Caminhei pelo beco à esquerda do prédio e subi as escadas de metal enferrujadas que levavam ao quarto de armazenamento no andar de cima.

Adam e Sandy foram gentis o suficiente para me deixar ficar lá nos últimos dois (quase três) anos. A porta rangeu ao abrir e fiz uma nota mental de que deveria pegar o WD-40 lá embaixo antes de fechá-la firmemente e trancá-la de novo. Caixas, eletrodomésticos quebrados e poeira espalhavam-se por todo o espaço. No centro do quarto estava minha cama. Tinha uma cômoda improvisada (uma caixa velha) à direita e um criado-mudo que também servia como minha cozinha à esquerda. Abrigava dois pratos e um micro-ondas que me permitiam sobreviver. Não era muito, mas era melhor do que nada. Depois de tanto tempo, era praticamente um lar e eles eram minha família.

Joguei minhas chaves e sacolas de compras na cama e segui em direção ao banheiro. O banheiro tinha um vaso sanitário e uma pequena pia de lavanderia que só tinha água quente. Fiquei confortável e liguei a água. Minha ansiedade estava alta enquanto começava a tomar banho.

Depois de quase três anos sem ver ninguém que eu conhecia, estava ficando confortável. Pelo amor de Deus, eu estava tentando flertar. No que eu estava pensando? Não podia criar raízes. Estava sendo idiota. Se eu quisesse agir daquela forma, ficar confortável e baixar a guarda, precisava sair dos Apalaches.

Não estava mais perto do que estava há três anos. Tinha ficado fácil fingir que aquilo era quem eu sou - uma barista de cidade pequena que flerta com os locais e não vai a lugar nenhum.

Mas não era e precisava lembrar disso todos os dias ou...

Eu seria pega e morta!

Still.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.

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.

Especially not her.

Especially not someone like her.

She’s not my problem.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
"Mine." He demanded.
