Introduction

Rayne ficou olhando seu reflexo no espelho. Seu vestido de baile verde pálido se ajustava às suas curvas e deixava pouco para a imaginação. Seus cachos negros como a noite estavam presos e presos à sua cabeça, deixando seu pescoço exposto. Esta noite era a noite em que a maioria dos lobos não acasalados de todas as matilhas da América do Norte esperava encontrar seus pares. Ela tinha certeza de que todos estavam transbordando de excitação.

Ela não estava.

Ela não queria um par. Ela não precisava de um par...

"...mas o repentino cheiro de jasmim e baunilha atingiu seu nariz de algum lugar próximo. Isso significava apenas uma coisa. Seu par estava perto..."

*******************

Rayne conheceu seu par no Baile à Luz da Lua quando tinha dezoito anos, seu par que ela nunca quis encontrar, que nunca quis em sua vida. Ele apareceu do nada. Suas ações naquela noite, sem ela saber, a libertaram. Ela pegou a liberdade que ele lhe deu, fugiu e nunca olhou para trás.

Agora, cinco anos depois, ele reaparece em sua vida depois de tê-la rejeitado cinco anos atrás, exigindo que ela assuma seu lugar legítimo ao seu lado. Ele se afastou dela depois de chamá-la de fraca. De jeito nenhum ela iria simplesmente permitir que ele voltasse para sua vida como se pertencesse lá. Rayne nunca quis um par, ele estando aqui agora mudaria isso? Seu corpo e alma imploram para que ele a reivindique, mas seu coração pertence a outro.

Será que seu par conseguirá convencê-la a lhe dar uma chance? Seu amante conseguirá convencê-la a ficar com ele? A Deusa da Lua a emparelhou com alguém que não era de sua escolha, tudo o que Rayne sempre quis foi a chance de escolher por si mesma. Quem vencerá? Rayne ou o destino que a lua traçou para ela?

Chapter 1

Rayne ficou olhando seu reflexo no espelho. Seu vestido de baile verde-pálido ajustava-se às suas curvas e não deixava muito para a imaginação. Seus cachos negros como a noite estavam presos e presos à sua cabeça, deixando seu pescoço exposto. Esta noite era a noite em que a maioria dos lobos não acasalados de todas as matilhas da América do Norte esperavam encontrar seus pares. Ela tinha certeza de que todos transbordavam de animação.

Ela não estava.

Ela não queria um par. Ela não precisava de um par.

Ela planejava deixar sua matilha para trás. Tornar-se uma loba solitária. Ninguém aqui sentiria sua falta. Ninguém na alcateia Lua de Jade se importava com uma lobinha órfã qualquer. O Alfa apenas permitia que ela ficasse porque era filha de seu antigo Beta. Seus pais foram mortos na última guerra da matilha há dez anos. Ela tinha oito anos na noite em que seus pais morreram. A noite em que sua vida mudou e todos que a amavam foram tirados dela.

Encontrar um par deveria trazer a outra metade de sua alma para sua vida. Ela duvidava seriamente que seria bom. Muito pouco nos últimos dez anos foi bom. Ela nasceu Beta, mas era tratada como uma ômega. Exceto por esta noite. Esta noite, eles a arrumaram para o seu companheiro, se é que ele existia, esperando que ela fosse tirada de suas mãos – ou melhor, que se livrassem dela.

"Rayne, você está aí!" Uma voz gritou da porta para o pequeno e desgastado quarto que ela chamava de quarto.

Ela olhou para ver a filha do Alfa, Bridgette, de pé na porta em seu vestido de baile vermelho sangue justo. Seu rosto coberto de maquiagem, seus lábios vermelhos profundos e seus olhos delineados com delineador preto para realçar seus olhos azuis. Parecia uma prostituta toda maquiada. Apropriado, já que combinava com seu comportamento. Rayne ficaria muito feliz em se afastar de Bridgette.

"Está na hora de ir. Você sabe que o papai odeia esperar, então, anda logo." Sua voz transbordava de maldade.

"Então vamos. Quanto antes a gente chegar lá, antes posso voltar pra cá e seguir com a minha vida," Ela levantou a saia de seu vestido e caminhou até a porta.

"Você quer dizer que quanto mais cedo você pode voltar aqui e limpar essa bagunça e a do meu quarto?" Ela levantou uma de suas sobrancelhas finamente esculpidas e sorriu de lado para Rayne.

Essa garota tem sido uma das piores inimigas de Rayne desde que eram crianças. Seu irmão era gentil com Rayne, e ela odiava isso. Odiava que alguém mostrasse qualquer tipo de afeto a Rayne que ela acreditava que sempre deveria ser dado a ela. Rainha do drama era pouco para ela; era muito mais egocêntrica e narcisista do que qualquer pessoa que Rayne já conhecera. Considerando que ela nunca saiu do território da Lua de Jade, isso não dizia muito.

Rayne olhou diretamente nos olhos dela e deu de ombros. Ela não tinha intenção de voltar aqui esta noite. Ela havia escondido uma bolsa cheia de seus pertences em uma árvore fora dos limites da matilha. Ela sairia da festa após as duas horas obrigatórias, pegaria sua bolsa e deixaria essa vida para trás. Ninguém sequer saberia que ela tinha ido embora até tarde da tarde de amanhã. Até lá, ela já estaria a quilômetros de distância, se tudo corresse bem para ela – pela primeira vez na vida.

Ela sacudiu os pensamentos e seguiu Bridgette pelo corredor que levava à porta do sótão. Elas desceram as escadas para o primeiro andar da mansão do Alfa para encontrar o Alfa Wilson de pé no hall de entrada, encarando-as enquanto desciam as escadas. Ele irradiava poder e raiva por tê-lo deixado esperando. Seus olhos escuros brilhavam com sua raiva. Seu cabelo loiro sujo estava penteado para trás e parecia precisar de uma lavagem. Ele usava um terno cinza carvão escuro que parecia bom. Sua alta estatura estava ligeiramente curvada devido a uma lesão de treino que não sarava. Ele se recusava a deixar os médicos da matilha curá-lo e afirmava que ficaria bem. Já se passaram três semanas e quanto mais o tempo passava, mais irritado ele ficava por não estar se curando tão rapidamente como costumava.

"Finalmente vocês duas desceram. Estou esperando há mais de vinte minutos."

Ela sabia que, se não se apressassem, ganharia um dos hematomas dele pelo resto da noite. Não que ela não estivesse acostumada a ser seu saco de pancadas, mas esta noite ela não seria sua vítima novamente. Rayne estava cansada de ser o bode expiatório desta matilha. Bridgette agarrou seu braço e a puxou para descer os degraus restantes e até Wilson. Até ela tinha medo dele quando estava com raiva. O que ultimamente era o tempo todo. Rayne sabia que esta matilha estaria melhor quando o filho de Wilson, Alec, assumisse, mas não havia como ela esperar aqui para ver isso acontecer.

Rayne endireitou os ombros e se preparou para ir para o salão de baile, onde centenas de lobos de toda a América do Norte estavam circulando, bebendo, dançando e esperando que seus pares os encontrassem. Uma vez por ano, este baile era realizado no território de uma matilha diferente. A cada ano, todo lobo não acasalado se juntaria à festa, esperando encontrar a outra metade de sua alma na forma de seu par.

"Vamos, senhoritas, falta uma hora para a meia-noite, e tenho certeza de que haverá um lobo de sorte naquela sala para cada uma de vocês," Wilson entrou no salão de baile à frente delas, parou por um momento para ver se estavam seguindo-o e, ao ver que o fariam, dirigiu-se ao bar.

Bridgette olhou para ela com aquele sorriso de sobrancelha arqueada, depois se afastou em direção à pista de dança com seu objetivo único. Fazer de si mesma o centro das atenções para que todos os machos na sala a notassem. Isso funcionava perfeitamente para Rayne, já que seu objetivo era se esconder nas sombras até ter certeza de que Wilson estava bêbado e ela poderia escapar da mansão e seguir com seus planos.

“You think I’d share my mate? Just stand by and watch while you fuck another woman and have her kids?”
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.

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.
