Introduction

Algumas decisões ruins voltam para te morder. Literalmente.

Depois de descobrir que seu namorado a traiu, a última coisa que ela esperava era encontrar um homem ferido em um beco. E definitivamente não um com presas. Mas, graças a uma mistura de coquetéis, vergonha e suas escolhas de vida questionáveis, ela o leva para casa. Acontece que ele não é apenas qualquer vampiro—ele é um rei. E, segundo ele, ela é sua companheira predestinada.

Agora, ela está presa com um sugador de sangue superprotetor e taciturno que continua a resgatá-la, uma lista crescente de inimigos que querem vê-la morta, e uma atração inegável que está tornando muito difícil lembrar por que se apaixonar por um vampiro é uma péssima ideia.

Porque, se ela não tomar cuidado, ela não vai apenas perder seu coração—ela vai perder sua humanidade.

Chapter 1

Em minha defesa, eu estava muito bêbada, muito de coração partido, e definitivamente não esperava arrastar para casa um vampiro meio morto como um guaxinim gótico acumulando más decisões.

Eu deveria ter continuado andando. Eu deveria ter ignorado o homem encostado na parede do beco, com sangue escurecendo sua camisa. Eu deveria ter sabido que uma criatura com olhos como os dele não estava destinada a ser salva.

Também há um tipo particular de arrependimento que vem ao perceber que você acabou de convidar um predador de topo para sua casa. É algo entre "Eu não deveria ter mandado mensagem para meu ex" e "vamos ver se o leite de uma semana atrás ainda está bom."

Aviso justo: se você está procurando uma heroína que não xinga, tem a vida sob controle e não toma decisões questionáveis diariamente, você veio ao lugar errado.

Caso contrário, prepare-se para o show de horrores que chamam de minha vida e segure suas calcinhas de vovó – isso vai ser uma viagem turbulenta.

∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞

Aquele traidor, babaca, infestado de pulgas!

O bartender à minha frente está me encarando como se eu fosse a criatura do lago azul. Provavelmente porque meus lábios e língua estão manchados de azul dos seis coquetéis de curaçao azul com limonada que bebi na última hora.

Eu sei o que você está pensando – como ela ainda está sentada depois de tanto álcool? Bem, meus queridos, o tamanho dessa garota curvilínea e seu metabolismo rápido me ajudaram a beber alcoólatras experientes debaixo da mesa quando a ocasião exigiu. Yay pra mim!

Isso não significa que eu não esteja sentindo os efeitos, no entanto. Tenho uma suspeita distinta de que, quando finalmente decidir levantar minha bunda desse banquinho de bar, meu equilíbrio não vai estar lá essas coisas. Ah bem, vou cruzar essa ponte quando chegar lá.

Eu deveria ter sabido quando acordei esta manhã e minha cafeteira estava com problemas, que o dia ia ser difícil. Essa máquina tem sido minha parceira no crime durante dois anos de faculdade, mudando de casa quatro vezes e muitas manhãs de ressacas ou encontros de uma noite.

Assim que a liguei esta manhã, houve uma faísca repentina antes que a parte de trás do aparelho explodisse em chamas. Fiquei atordoada por dois segundos antes de perceber que eu era a única adulta na casa, e era minha responsabilidade impedir que o fogo se espalhasse e minha casa inteira queimasse.

Felizmente, lembrei que, segundo o Professor Google, você deve usar bicarbonato de sódio para sufocar um incêndio elétrico, não água, como nos casos usuais. Então, corri para a despensa e peguei a caixa que raramente era usada (porque eu não sei assar nada) e apaguei aquele fogo como se minha vida dependesse disso. Pensando bem, minha vida realmente dependia disso. Huh.

Minha segunda pista deveria ter sido quando meu mais novo funcionário pediu demissão via DM no Instagram. Muito profissional, eu sei.

Uma semana atrás, ela implorou para eu olhar além de sua pouca idade e dar-lhe uma chance. Este também seria seu primeiro emprego. Eu relutantemente concordei porque lembrei que eu também já fui uma nova adição ao mercado de trabalho e lutei para encontrar alguém que acreditasse em mim. E olha como isso acabou.

Chamando o bartender, deslizo meu copo vazio em sua direção, “Mais um, por favor, barman.”

"Desculpe, senhora, mas preciso interromper você."

"O quê! Por quê?" pergunto, indignada, percebendo que meu botão de controle de volume pode estar quebrado quando algumas cabeças se viram na minha direção. Ah, vai se ferrar.

"Porque o hotel tem uma política rígida de que não-hóspedes só podem usar o bar até às 22:00."

Olho para ele desconfiada porque essa política parece uma grande besteira para mim. Ele está tentando se livrar de mim sem me ofender? Alguma Karen provavelmente reclamou da grande, gorda solteira que estava afogando suas mágoas em litros de álcool. Pois, vá se ferrar, Karen.

Dou uma olhada no meu relógio de pulso e lhe ofereço meu sorriso mais doce, "Vou fazer um acordo com você. São atualmente 21:45. Se você me servir mais uma bebida, eu te dou uma gorjeta de cinquenta dólares."

O olhar nos seus olhos me diz que fui bem-sucedida nas minhas táticas de negociação. "Tudo bem, mas preciso pedir que me entregue suas chaves. Vou chamar um táxi para você quando terminar."

Com um grande sorriso, deslizo minha mão para dentro da bolsa e as entrego. "Temos um acordo, meu bom senhor."

Virando-se para preparar minha bebida, vejo ele revirar os olhos para mim. Provavelmente está cansado de clientes bêbados que acham que grandes quantidades de álcool resolverão seus problemas. Tá me julgando demais?

Enquanto saboreio meu último coquetel da noite, penso no momento em que entrei no apartamento do Steven e o encontrei com minha ex-funcionária. Sim, você ouviu direito.

Steven tinha aparecido na minha livraria algumas vezes na última semana. Nada estranho nisso. Ele até se apresentou para Kylie, minha nova funcionária. Nada estranho nisso também. Foi incomum, no entanto, quando os encontrei cochichando e rindo juntos ontem.

E como eu estava hiper-focada nos novos livros de romance de vampiro que chegaram naquela manhã e onde iria exibi-los, não pensei muito sobre isso. Porque ter um homem sombrio, melancólico e perigoso reivindicando você como sua por toda a eternidade supera minha preocupação com seja lá o que for aquilo.

Gemma, minha funcionária de 62 anos, me mandou para casa mais cedo hoje (como se eu não fosse a que paga o salário dela) para me preparar para um evento que eu tinha que comparecer com Steven no escritório dele esta noite. No caminho para casa, percebi que o par de sapatos que eu precisava para a noite ainda estava na casa dele. Então, fui até o apartamento dele, pretendendo entrar e sair em minutos.

O que me aguardava vai me assombrar por dias. Provavelmente meses. Provavelmente por anos a fio.

Devido ao quarto dele estar nos fundos do apartamento, inicialmente não ouvi os ruídos quando entrei usando uma cópia da chave que ele me deu há duas semanas. Mas depois de uns cinco passos pelo corredor, os sons vindo de trás da porta fechada me fizeram parar por cerca de 2,5 segundos – meu instinto gritando para mim.

Quando empurrei a porta devagar, tentando prolongar o momento de ver meu mundo ser destruído por papel higiênico usado, minha mente oscilava entre gritar como uma banshee, rir histericamente como uma bruxa malvada ou chorar como uma criança que acabou de perder seu axolote de estimação.

A única maneira de esquecer o que vi é provavelmente desinfetar meus olhos com água sanitária. Será que meu plano de saúde cobre esse procedimento?

“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.
