"أنا لك"، أقول بصعوبة. لقد كنت كذلك دائمًا.

December Secrets

Chapter 1

(ثم)

سكبت بعض خليط الكعكة في قالب كعكة، ثم فعلت الشيء نفسه مع القالبين الآخرين، حيث كانت أحجام القوالب تتناقص كلما تقدمت. كان يوماً حاراً من أيام الصيف، في أواخر أغسطس. مسحت العرق عن جبيني بكمّ قميصي، ونظرت إلى هانا، طاهيتنا. "آمل أن تكون النتيجة جيدة."

ابتسمت لي هانا. كانت الكعكة من وصفتها. في الحقيقة، هي التي قامت بمعظم العمل. لكنني شاركت بشكل كبير. كنت طاهية جيدة بنفسي، لكنني لم أرغب في المخاطرة اليوم. كل شيء كان يجب أن يكون مثالياً اليوم. فقط مثالياً.

وكان سيكون كذلك، كنت أشعر بذلك.

كان فيليكس سيغادر في اليوم التالي. لأربع سنوات كاملة. بالطبع، سيزور، لكنه لن يكون كما كان من قبل. تمنيت لو كنت أستطيع الذهاب معه. خططنا لذلك من قبل، عندما كنا أصغر سناً. كنا دائماً نعلم أنه سيحدث. تمنى فيليكس وأنا كل يوم لو أننا ولدنا في نفس السنة، حتى نتمكن من الذهاب إلى الجامعة معاً ولا يترك أحدنا الآخر وراءه. لكنه كان يجب أن يكون أكبر. لا يزال أمامي سنتان من المدرسة الثانوية، وقد تم قبول فيليكس في برينستون.

عندما كنا في العاشرة والثانية عشرة، كنا نتحدث عن كيف يمكن لفيليكس أن يأخذ سنتين من الراحة، أو أنني يمكنني إنهاء المدرسة الثانوية مبكراً، أو حتى الانتقال إلى المدينة التي يذهب إليها، وإنهاء الدراسة هناك. كان يبدو منطقياً في ذلك الوقت، لكن مع تقدمنا في العمر، بدا الأمر أكثر صعوبة. مهما خططت للأشياء، دائماً ما تعترض الحياة الطريق.

ولكن سيكون الأمر على ما يرام. أليس كذلك؟

على أي حال، لم يكن لدي الكثير من الوقت للقلق. كانت حفلة وداع فيليكس الليلة. خططت لها كلها من أجله. الكعكة كانت له. كعكة الغابة السوداء، المفضلة لديه. كان أصدقاؤه سيأتون، وساعدوني في ترتيب المشروبات، وكانت هانا تعد الطعام للحفلة أيضاً. سيكون الأمر ممتعاً.

سأقلق غداً، بعد أن يغادر. هذا كل ما سأفعله خلال السنوات الأربع التي سيكون فيها هناك. القلق. والانتظار.

كان من الصعب شرح علاقتي بفيليكس. كنا أصدقاء، أعتقد. لكنني لم أحب تلك الكلمة. أعرف فيليكس منذ الأزل. كان هناك في المستشفى عندما ولدت. مع والدته، أفضل صديقة لأمي. كان عمره عامين فقط ولا يتذكر ذلك، بالطبع، لكنه كان هناك، وهذا كان مهماً. لم نفترق منذ ذلك الحين. كان صديقي في المدرسة الابتدائية، حاميي في المدرسة المتوسطة، ثم كل شيء آخر في المدرسة الثانوية. كل شيء كان كلمة جيدة. كان هو... كل شيء بالنسبة لي.

قالت صديقتي تيلي إنه كان حبيبي. لكنني كرهت تلك الكلمة، ولم يستخدمها هو أبداً، ولا مرة. ذهبت معه إلى حفلة التخرج، ولم يواعد أحداً غيري، ولم يسمح لي بذلك أيضاً. ليس أنني أردت ذلك. لم يقبلني أبداً، أيضاً. كان هناك ذلك الجزء. لو فقط قبلني، كنت سأعرف موقفنا. رأيت ذلك قادماً، مرات عديدة. مثل تلك المرة في الجاكوزي الخاص به، أو تلك المرة على السطح بعد أن كنت أبكي. لكن ذلك لم يحدث أبداً.

"برينستون مدرسة رائعة." قالت هانا بلا مبالاة. "سيتعرف فيليكس على الكثير من الأصدقاء الجدد وسيلتقي بفتيات ذكيات."

ابتلعت غصة في حلقي. كان ذلك خوفاً آخر لدي. الفتيات. ماذا لو ذهب إلى هناك ووقع في الحب؟ ماذا لو كرهتني وقالت له ألا يتحدث معي أبداً مرة أخرى؟

لاحظت هانا التعبير على وجهي، فضحكت. وربتت على رأسي بخفة. "لا تقلقي، يا آنسة فلورا." قالت مازحة، "ذلك الفتى مهووس بك."

دحرجت عيني. "إنه مجرد صديق لي، هانا."

ابتسمت. "بالطبع."

بينما كانت الكعكات تُخبز، بدأت في خفق بعض الكريمة للتزيين. هذا كنت أجيده، لذا قمت به بنفسي، بينما كانت هانا تعمل على بقية الطعام.

بعد حوالي ساعتين، كانت الكعكة جاهزة. كتبت عبارة قصيرة وبسيطة "أشتاق إليك بالفعل" على الطبقة العليا. كنت آمل أن تعجبه. آمل ألا يجدها مبتذلة. وضعت الكعكة في الثلاجة، وركضت إلى غرفتي لأخذ دش سريع، ثم ارتديت فستان صيفي وردي لطيف. فيليكس يحب اللون الوردي علي. كان يقول إنه يجعلني أبدو كزهرة جميلة.

بعد أن ارتديت ملابسي، ركضت إلى الطابق السفلي. كانت الحفلة ستقام في الخارج، على العشب في حديقتنا. كانت هانا قد بدأت بالفعل في التزيين، واندفعت لمساعدتها في تعليق الأضواء الزاهية، ولافتة كتب عليها "كل التوفيق يا فيليكس!" ولافتة أصغر كتب عليها "برينستون في انتظارك". بحلول الساعة الثامنة مساءً، بدأ أصدقاء فيليكس في الوصول. لم يكن لديه أي فكرة عن وجود حفلة. كنت من المفترض أن أدعوه إلى منزلي ونفاجئه. عندما كان الجميع هناك، أطفأت الأضواء في الحديقة حتى لا يتمكن من رؤية أي شيء، ثم اتصلت بفيليكس.

"مرحبًا! هل تود المجيء لقضاء بعض الوقت؟" سألت بمرح. كنت أبدو متحمسة. لم أرغب في أن أكشف عن خطتي.

"سأكون هناك خلال 5 دقائق." أجاب وأغلق الخط، وعرفت أنه كان بالفعل في طريقه. كان يعيش على بعد منزلين فقط. لن يستغرق الأمر أكثر من الخمس دقائق التي وعد بها.

"أسرعوا!" أعلنت. "إنه في طريقه."

استقر الجميع بشكل ملحوظ. كانت الحفلة المفاجئة والتكتيكات طفولية قليلاً، لكن أصدقاؤه كانوا لطفاء بما يكفي ليشاركوا معي. كان الجميع لطيفين معي بسبب فيليكس. ستتغير الأمور كثيرًا بعد رحيله.

وصل إلى باب منزلي دون أن يلاحظ الضجة في جانب الحديقة. فتحت الباب قبل أن تتاح له الفرصة لقرع الجرس. "مرحبًا!" قلت بشكل عادي.

نظر إليّ من أعلى إلى أسفل، ضاقت عيناه. "لماذا ترتدين ملابس أنيقة؟"

هززت كتفي، "خرجت."

مال برأسه إلى الجانب، محدقاً فيّ. "مع من؟"

"لا تعرفهم." قلت، "هل تريد الجلوس في الحديقة؟"

هز كتفيه، "كما تريدين، فلورا." ابتسمت وأمسكت بيده، وسرت بنا إلى الحديقة. بينما كنت أسحبه خلفي، ضغطت بشكل غير مبالٍ على مفتاح الإضاءة لتضيء. كل شيء أضاء، وفجأة ظهر الجميع. وبدأت الموسيقى. كان كل شيء مثالياً.

"مفاجأة." همست لفيليكس، مبتسمة له.

عانقني بشدة ورفعني عن الأرض. ضحكت، ولففت ساقي حوله، وذبت في حضنه. في فوضى اليوم، نسيت حقاً كم سأشتاق إليه. الطريقة التي كانت ذراعيه تشعرني بها، الرقة المميزة في صوته عندما يتحدث إليّ، النظرة الشقية في عينيه قبل أن يفعل شيئًا يعرف أنه يزعجني.

"شكرًا لك." همس، قبل أن ينزلني ويجعلني أقف على قدمي مرة أخرى. عبث بشعري، مبتسمًا إليّ. "أنت لطيفة جدًا، فلورا."

“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.
