Introduction

Rayne se tenait devant le miroir, regardant son reflet. Sa robe de bal vert pâle épousait ses courbes et laissait peu de place à l'imagination. Ses boucles noires de jais étaient relevées et épinglées sur sa tête, laissant son cou exposé. Ce soir était la nuit où la plupart des loups non appariés de toutes les meutes d'Amérique du Nord espéraient trouver leur âme sœur. Elle était sûre qu'ils étaient tous débordants d'excitation.

Elle, non.

Elle ne voulait pas d'âme sœur. Elle n'avait pas besoin d'âme sœur...

...mais l'odeur soudaine de jasmin et de vanille lui chatouilla les narines, venant de quelque part tout près. Cela ne pouvait signifier qu'une chose. Son âme sœur était proche...

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

Rayne rencontra son âme sœur au Bal de la Lune lorsqu'elle avait dix-huit ans, son âme sœur qu'elle n'avait jamais voulu trouver, qu'elle n'avait jamais voulu dans sa vie. Il était apparu de nulle part. Ses actions cette nuit-là l'avaient libérée sans qu'il le sache. Elle prit la liberté qu'il lui avait donnée, s'enfuit, et ne se retourna jamais.

Maintenant, cinq ans plus tard, il réapparaît dans sa vie après l'avoir rejetée il y a cinq ans, exigeant qu'elle prenne sa place légitime à ses côtés. Il s'était éloigné d'elle après l'avoir traitée de faible. Il n'était pas question qu'elle le laisse revenir dans sa vie comme s'il y appartenait. Rayne n'avait jamais voulu d'âme sœur, sa présence maintenant allait-elle changer cela ? Son corps et son âme supplient qu'il la revendique, mais son cœur appartient à un autre.

Son âme sœur pourra-t-il la convaincre de lui donner une chance ? Son amant pourra-t-il la convaincre de rester avec lui ? La Déesse de la Lune l'a appariée avec quelqu'un qu'elle n'a pas choisi, tout ce que Rayne a toujours voulu, c'est la chance de choisir par elle-même. Qui gagnera ? Rayne ou le destin que la lune lui a réservé ?

Chapter 1

Rayne se tenait devant le miroir, observant son reflet. Sa robe de bal vert pâle moulait ses courbes et laissait peu de place à l'imagination. Ses boucles noires de jais étaient relevées et épinglées sur sa tête, laissant son cou exposé. Ce soir était la nuit où la plupart des loups non appariés de toutes les meutes d'Amérique du Nord espéraient trouver leur âme sœur. Elle était sûre qu'ils débordaient tous d'excitation.

Elle, non.

Elle ne voulait pas de compagnon. Elle n'avait pas besoin de compagnon.

Elle prévoyait de quitter sa meute. Devenir une renégate. Personne ici ne la regretterait. Personne dans la meute de La Lune de Jade ne se souciait d'une petite louve orpheline. L'Alpha ne l'avait laissée rester que parce qu'elle était la fille de son ancien Bêta. Ses parents avaient été tués lors de la dernière guerre de meute il y a dix ans. Elle avait huit ans la nuit où ses parents sont morts. La nuit où sa vie a changé et où tous ceux qui l'aimaient lui ont été enlevés.

Trouver un compagnon était censé apporter l'autre moitié de son âme dans sa vie. Elle doutait sérieusement que ce soit une bonne chose. Très peu de choses avaient été bonnes au cours des dix dernières années. Elle était née Bêta mais traitée comme une oméga. Sauf ce soir. Ce soir, ils l'avaient préparée pour son compagnon, s'il existait, espérant qu'il la prendrait en charge.

« Rayne, tu es là ? » Une voix cria depuis l'entrée de la petite chambre miteuse qu'elle appelait sa chambre.

Elle tourna la tête pour voir Bridgette, la fille de l'Alpha, debout dans l'embrasure de la porte, vêtue de sa robe de bal rouge sang moulante. Son visage était couvert de maquillage, ses lèvres d'un rouge profond, et ses yeux soulignés d'eyeliner noir pour faire ressortir ses yeux bleus. Elle ressemblait à une prostituée maquillée. Ce qui convenait bien à son comportement. Rayne serait plus qu'heureuse de s'éloigner de Bridgette.

« Il est temps de partir et tu sais combien père déteste être fait attendre, alors bougeons-nous. » Sa voix débordait de méchanceté.

« Allons-y alors. Plus vite nous y serons, plus vite je pourrai revenir ici et reprendre ma vie, » Elle souleva la jupe de sa robe et se dirigea vers la porte.

« Tu veux dire, plus vite tu reviendras ici pour nettoyer ce bazar et celui dans ma chambre ? » Elle leva un de ses sourcils parfaitement sculptés et sourit avec suffisance à Rayne.

Cette garce était l'une des pires ennemies de Rayne depuis qu'elles étaient enfants. Son frère était gentil avec Rayne, et elle détestait ça. Elle détestait que quiconque montre à Rayne une quelconque affection qu'elle croyait lui être toujours due. Reine du drame n'était pas un titre pour elle, elle était bien plus égocentrique et narcissique que quiconque Rayne avait jamais rencontré. Étant donné qu'elle n'avait jamais quitté le territoire de La Lune de Jade, cela ne disait pas grand-chose.

Rayne la regarda droit dans les yeux et haussa les épaules. Elle n'avait aucune intention de revenir ici ce soir. Elle avait caché un sac rempli de ses affaires dans un arbre à l'extérieur des frontières de la meute. Elle quitterait la fête après les deux heures obligatoires, récupérerait son sac et quitterait cette vie derrière elle. Personne ne saurait même qu'elle était partie avant tard dans l'après-midi du lendemain. D'ici là, elle serait à des kilomètres si les choses se passaient enfin bien pour elle.

Elle se secoua pour sortir de ses pensées et suivit Bridgette dans le couloir qui menait à la porte du grenier. Elles descendirent les escaliers jusqu'au rez-de-chaussée du manoir de l'Alpha pour trouver Alpha Wilson debout dans le hall d'entrée, les fixant avec colère alors qu'elles descendaient les marches. Il dégageait une aura de puissance et de colère d'avoir été laissé à attendre. Ses yeux sombres brillaient de rage. Ses cheveux blond sale étaient plaqués en arrière et semblaient avoir besoin d'un bon lavage. Il portait un smoking gris anthracite qui lui allait bien. Sa grande silhouette était légèrement voûtée à cause d'une blessure d'entraînement non guérie. Il avait refusé que les médecins de la meute le soignent, affirmant qu'il irait bien. Cela faisait trois semaines et plus le temps passait, plus il se mettait en colère de ne pas guérir aussi vite qu'avant.

"Il était temps que vous descendiez. J'attends depuis plus de vingt minutes."

Elle savait que si elles ne se dépêchaient pas, elle porterait une de ses contusions pour le reste de la nuit. Non pas qu'elle n'était pas habituée à être son punching-ball, mais ce soir, elle ne serait pas encore sa victime. Rayne en avait fini d'être le souffre-douleur de cette meute. Bridgette lui attrapa le bras et la tira dans les derniers escaliers jusqu'à Wilson. Même elle avait peur de lui quand il était en colère. Ce qui était le cas tout le temps dernièrement. Rayne savait que cette meute irait mieux quand le fils de Wilson, Alec, prendrait le relais, mais il n'était pas question qu'elle reste ici pour voir cela arriver.

Rayne redressa les épaules et se prépara à se rendre dans la salle de bal où des centaines de loups de toute l'Amérique du Nord déambulaient, buvaient, dansaient et attendaient que leurs compagnons les trouvent. Une fois par an, ce bal était organisé sur le territoire d'une meute différente. Chaque année, tous les loups non appariés se joignaient à la fête, espérant trouver l'autre moitié de leur âme sous la forme de leur compagnon.

"Allons-y, mesdames, il reste une heure avant minuit et je suis sûr qu'il y a un loup chanceux dans cette salle pour chacune de vous," Wilson entra dans la salle de bal devant elles, s'arrêta un moment pour vérifier qu'elles le suivaient et, voyant qu'elles le faisaient, se dirigea vers le bar.

Bridgette la regarda avec son sourire en coin, puis se dirigea vers la piste de danse avec un seul objectif en tête. Se mettre au centre de l'attention pour que tous les mâles de la salle la remarquent. Cela convenait parfaitement à Rayne, car son objectif était de se cacher dans l'ombre jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit certaine que Wilson soit ivre et qu'elle puisse s'éclipser du manoir et poursuivre ses plans.

Delicate.

And still—

Still.

The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.

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.

But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.

The Shadow Of A Luna

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.
