Introduction

«Os quiero, Fenris», susurra Lyra, «lobo y hombre, todos vosotros».
El hambre pura brilla en los ojos de Fenris. Él gruñó suavemente, envolviéndola con sus fuertes brazos y tirando de ella al ras de su cuerpo. Hicieron el amor bajo la luz de la luna llena.
«Nunca había dejado que alguien se acercara tanto durante la luna llena».
«Es un honor ser la primera», sonríe Lyra, «y estoy un poco presumida de haber conseguido domar al lobo feroz».
Fenris se rió entre dientes y el sonido resonó en su pecho. «La noche aún es joven y estoy lejos de ser domada».
***
En un mundo en el que la magia negra y las bestias ancestrales chocan, una poderosa bruja llamada Lyra se topa con una profecía centenaria que predice el fin del mundo. Para evitar esta catástrofe, debe formar una alianza con Fenris, un inquietante hombre lobo marginado. Mientras corren contrarreloj para descifrar pistas crípticas y reunir artefactos místicos, su desconfianza inicial se transforma lentamente en un romance prohibido. Mientras facciones opuestas de criaturas sobrenaturales los persiguen y sus propias naturalezas conflictivas amenazan con separarlos, Lyra y Fenris deben superar sus diferencias para salvar no solo al mundo, sino también a los demás.

Chapter 1

La luna creciente colgaba baja en el cielo oscuro, proyectando un resplandor etéreo a través de las vidrieras de la biblioteca aislada. Los delgados dedos de Lyra danzaban sobre los lomos de cuero antiguo, sus ojos esmeralda escaneando títulos desvaídos en lenguas olvidadas hace mucho por el mundo mortal. El aire estaba cargado con el olor a pergamino viejo y el aroma persistente de la salvia de su ritual de protección anterior.

—Tiene que estar aquí en alguna parte —murmuró, apartando un mechón rebelde de cabello negro de su rostro. Lyra había pasado incontables noches en este santuario oculto, estudiando tomos de conocimiento arcano transmitidos a través de generaciones de su aquelarre. Pero esta noche se sentía diferente. Había una carga eléctrica en el aire, un susurro de destino que erizaba los pelos de su nuca.

Su mano se detuvo sobre un volumen particularmente desgastado, su cubierta tan descolorida que el título apenas era legible. Cuando sus dedos rozaron el cuero antiguo, una descarga de energía recorrió su cuerpo. Lyra jadeó, casi dejando caer el pesado tomo mientras lo sacaba del estante.

—Esto es —susurró, acunando el libro en sus brazos mientras se dirigía al ornamentado escritorio de lectura en el centro de la sala. La madera crujió bajo su peso mientras se acomodaba en la silla, colocando cuidadosamente el grimorio sobre la superficie pulida frente a ella.

Con manos temblorosas, Lyra abrió la cubierta. El pergamino dentro era frágil, amenazando con desmoronarse al más mínimo toque. Susurró un hechizo de preservación, sus labios formando las antiguas palabras con facilidad practicada. Un suave resplandor azul emanó de sus palmas, envolviendo las frágiles páginas en un aura protectora.

Mientras comenzaba a descifrar el texto críptico, las velas que parpadeaban a su alrededor parecieron atenuarse. Las sombras danzaban en los bordes de su visión, como si la misma oscuridad se sintiera atraída por el poder contenido en el grimorio. Lyra se inclinó más cerca, su ceño fruncido en concentración mientras traducía el guion arcaico.

—El velo entre los mundos se adelgaza —leyó en voz alta, su voz apenas un susurro—. Cuando la luna de sangre se alce tres veces, y el aullido del lobo solitario resuene por la tierra, las puertas se abrirán y el caos reinará.

Un escalofrío recorrió la columna de Lyra mientras el peso de las palabras se asentaba sobre ella. Esto no era una profecía ordinaria; era una advertencia de un desastre inminente. Sus ojos recorrieron la página, absorbiendo cada detalle mientras la gravedad de la situación se hacía evidente.

—¿Lyra? —una voz llamó desde la entrada de la biblioteca, sobresaltándola de su intensa concentración—. ¿Sigues aquí?

Levantó la vista para ver a Mara, su amiga más cercana y compañera bruja, de pie en el umbral. El rostro pecoso de la pelirroja estaba marcado por la preocupación mientras observaba la apariencia desaliñada de Lyra y el extraño libro frente a ella.

—Mara, tienes que ver esto —dijo Lyra, gesticulando para que su amiga se acercara—. Creo que he encontrado algo... algo grande.

Mara cruzó la habitación, sus túnicas verdes susurrando suavemente contra el suelo de piedra. Se asomó por encima del hombro de Lyra, sus ojos avellana se agrandaron al escanear las páginas abiertas.

—Por la diosa —exhaló—. ¿Es esto lo que creo que es?

Lyra asintió gravemente.

—Una profecía apocalíptica. Y si la estoy interpretando correctamente, no tenemos mucho tiempo.

—¿Pero cómo? —preguntó Mara, sacudiendo la cabeza con incredulidad—. Nuestro aquelarre ha protegido estos libros durante siglos. Seguramente alguien habría notado algo tan importante antes.

—No creo que nadie pudiera haberlo leído antes de esta noche —explicó Lyra, señalando una serie de símbolos intrincados que bordeaban el texto—. ¿Ves estas runas? Forman un hechizo de bloqueo temporal. La profecía estaba oculta hasta que el momento fuera el adecuado para ser revelada.

El rostro de Mara palideció.

—¿Y ese momento es ahora? Lyra, ¿qué dice exactamente?

Tomando una respiración profunda, Lyra comenzó a traducir el antiguo texto para su amiga. Mientras hablaba, las velas en la habitación parpadeaban más intensamente, proyectando largas sombras en las paredes. El aire se volvió pesado, como si los mismos elementos respondieran al poder de las palabras.

—Tres señales anunciarán la llegada de la oscuridad —leyó Lyra, su voz creciendo en fuerza con cada línea—. La luna sangrará tres veces, pintando el cielo de carmesí. El marginado aullará, su voz un heraldo del cambio. Los antiguos se agitarán, despertando de su letargo milenario.

Mara agarró el borde del escritorio, sus nudillos volviéndose blancos.

—¿Y luego qué pasa?

Los ojos verdes de Lyra se encontraron con los avellana de Mara, el miedo y la determinación mezclándose en su mirada.

—Si estas señales se cumplen, las barreras entre los reinos se romperán. Criaturas de pesadilla inundarán nuestro mundo, y la realidad tal como la conocemos se desmoronará.

—Diosa, protégenos —susurró Mara—. ¿Cómo lo detenemos?

Lyra pasó la página, revelando una serie de diagramas complejos y más texto.

—La profecía habla de un ritual, una forma de reforzar las barreras y prevenir la catástrofe. Pero requiere objetos de gran poder, esparcidos por toda la tierra.

Mientras Lyra continuaba estudiando el grimorio, Mara comenzó a pasear, su mente acelerada.

—Necesitamos decírselo a la Suma Sacerdotisa. Todo el aquelarre debe ser informado.

Lyra vaciló, un destello de duda cruzando sus facciones.

—No estoy segura de que sea prudente, al menos no todavía. Sabes cómo pueden ser los ancianos. Podrían descartar esto como una simple leyenda antigua, o peor, tratar de mantenerlo oculto para evitar causar pánico.

—Pero Lyra, esto es más grande que nosotras. No podemos esperar detener esto por nuestra cuenta —argumentó Mara, señalando el ominoso texto.

Lyra se levantó, su silla raspando contra el suelo de piedra.

—Puede que no tengamos otra opción. Mira este pasaje aquí. —Señaló una sección cerca del final de la página—. Habla de una elegida, una bruja con el poder de cerrar la brecha entre los mundos. Creo... creo que podría estar refiriéndose a mí.

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.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
