Chapter 1

칠흑 같은 밤, 얼음장 같은 바람.

폭풍설이 가득한 가운데, 온 천지에는 오직 휘몰아치는 찬바람과 마치 세상을 얼어붙게 하려는 듯한 눈뿐이었다.

고요한 찬바람 속에서, 한 대의 쓰레기 수거차가 천천히 길가에 멈춰 섰다. 어둑한 불빛 아래, 담담하고 평온한 한 쌍의 눈동자가 쓰레기로 가득 찬 뒷칸에서 내다보더니, 주변에 아무도 없음을 확인한 후에야 몸을 날려 뛰어내렸다.

청년은 대략 스무 살 정도로 보였다. 온몸이 더럽고 지저분했으며 역한 냄새가 풍겼지만, 그는 전혀 신경 쓰지 않는 듯했다. 그저 냉담하게 주변 환경을 살피다가 문제가 없음을 확인한 후에야 담담하게 말했다. "네가 스스로 내려올래, 아니면 내가 한산이 널 들어서 내릴까?"

한산의 말이 끝나자마자, 쓰레기차에서 서서히 한 여성의 모습이 드러났다. 분노에 찬 눈동자로 청년을 노려보더니, 급히 쓰레기차 뒤로 내려와 거리를 향해 미친 듯이 구토를 시작했다.

눈앞의 이 소녀는 온몸이 더럽고 지저분했지만, 그럼에도 그녀의 우아한 몸매와 정교한 얼굴, 그리고 검은 스타킹으로 덮인, 사람을 미치게 할 정도로 아름다운 가냘픈 발이 눈에 들어왔다.

하지만 의아한 것은, 소녀의 몸에서 샤넬 맞춤 재킷과 맞춤형 nlady 하이힐, 그리고 에르메스 한정판 가방이 비록 지금은 더럽고 지저분했지만, 눈이 있는 사람이라면 누구나 알아볼 수 있을 정도로 진품이라는 것이었다. 가짜가 아닌 진짜였다.

간단히 말해, 그녀는 진정한 백부미(백인, 부자, 미인)였다.

한산은 잠시 침묵하다가 바로 입을 열었다. "아가씨, 우리..."

꺼져!

한산이 말을 마치기도 전에, 소녀는 거의 포효하듯 말했다. "나 서여계는 어릴 때부터 지금까지 이런 대우를 받아본 적이 없어. 너를 반드시 후회하게 만들겠어!"

"그리고 너는 도대체 누구야? 돈이 필요하면 내가 줄게, 미인을 원한다면 내가 미녀들을 많이 소개해 줄 테니, 왜 굳이 나를 납치해서 이 운해시로 데려온 거야? 가장 중요한 건, 왜 이런 쓰레기 차를 타게 한 거냐고?"

서여계의 갑작스러운 분노에 한산은 잠시 놀란 듯했다. 그러고는 귀지를 후비더니 무기력하게 어깨를 으쓱하며 말했다. "나는 당신 할아버지가 고용한 경호원이에요. 하강시에서 당신을 비밀리에 호송하라는 명령을 받았어요. 이전 도시에서는 당신을 해치려는 사람들이 많았고, 오늘 밤에도 이미 당신을 암살하려는 계획이 있었거든요."

"쓰레기차를 탄 것도 안전을 위해서였어요. 제가..."

하지만 분명히 한산이 말을 마치기도 전에, 서여계의 포효가 다시 한산의 말을 끊었다. "제발 좀 더 그럴듯한 핑계를 찾아보세요. 그럼 내가 왜 한 사람도 만나지 않았는데? 사람들은 어디 있었어요?"

"납치는 납치라고 하지, 그렇게 그럴듯하게 포장하지 마세요. 내 할아버지가 어떻게 당신 같은 바보 경호원을 고용하겠어요!"

한산은 지금 정말 난감했다.

왜냐하면 그는 정말로 서여계의 할아버지가 특별히 고용한 경호원이었기 때문이다. 그렇지 않다면 자신같은 당당한 화하 은룡 특전사 왕이 어떻게 이런 애교 넘치는 백부미를 보호하러 왔겠는가, 자신이 한가해서 그랬을까...

원래 이 임무를 받았을 때, 한산은 마음속으로 정말 기뻤다.

결국 부대에서는 여자를 거의 볼 수 없었는데, 이제 이 임무를 통해 매일 미녀와 함께할 수 있다니, 이건 정말 인생의 큰 즐거움이었다.

하지만 누가 알았겠는가, 만난 이 서여계가 아름답긴 하지만, 완전히 암호랑이였다니, 정말 팔대 조상의 피를 다 쏟은 것 같은 재수였다.

마지막으로 생각하며, 한산은 한숨을 쉬며 억지로 말했다. "아가씨, 당신이 암살자들을 만나지 않았다는 것은 우리의 전문성과 고도의 기술, 그리고 효과적인 방법을 증명할 뿐이에요. 내가 진정한 최고 수준의 경호원이라는 증거죠, 알겠어요?"

"그럼 당신 말로는, 당신이 아주 대단하다는 거네요?" 서여계는 말을 듣고 눈을 굴리며 비웃듯이 물었다.

뜻밖에도 한산은 고개를 끄덕였다. "아가씨, 드디어 이 점을 이해하셨군요."

서여계는 순간 말문이 막혔다. 분명 그녀는 이렇게 뻔뻔한 사람을 만난 적이 없었다.

"무례한 자!"

잠시 침묵 후, 서여계는 거의 이를 갈며 말했다.

서여계가 자신을 결국 무례한 건달로 정의한 것에 대해, 한산은 매우 무기력해 보였다. 속으로 생각했다. '이미 무례한 건달로 정의됐는데, 건달 같은 행동을 안 하면 내 신분에 어울리지 않지 않을까?'

한산은 이렇게 생각하고 더 이상 말을 하지 않고, 바로 서여계의 연약한 몸을 어깨에 들쳐 맸다. 비록 지금은 냄새가 좀 역했지만, 순간적인 부드러운 접촉과 서여계의 굴곡진 몸매는 한산의 뇌에 호르몬을 급격히 상승시켰다.

무슨 이유에서인지, 한산의 큰 손이 마치 귀신에 홀린 듯 서여계의 풍만하고 탄력 있는 엉덩이를 한 번 만지더니, 이어서 바로 한 번 때렸다.

팡!

청명한 소리와 함께, 한산과 서여계 두 사람은 순간 멍해졌다.

비록 이전 여정에서 한산이 여러 번 서여계를 강제로 이끌었지만, 이렇게 무례하고 심지어 은밀한 행동은 지금까지 처음이었다.

"한산, 이 개자식, 내가 널 죽여버릴 거야!"

격분한 서여계는 분명히 더 이상 숙녀의 모습을 유지하기 어려웠고, 이를 드러내며 한산을 죽이고 싶어했다.

자신의 작은 엉덩이는 이 몇 년 동안 어떤 남자도 만진 적이 없었고, 그중에는 자신의 아버지도 포함되었는데, 지금 직접 자칭 경호원이라는 납치범에게 첫 경험을 빼앗겼다...

이걸 누구한테 말해야 하나!

지금의 한산도 약간 당황스러워 보였다. 그저 억지로 몇 번 기침을 하고는 담담하게 말했다. "말을 안 들으면, 다음에 또 그러면 네 엉덩이를 때려 부술 거야."

말을 마친 한산은 스스로도 얼굴이 붉어지는 것을 느꼈고, 곧바로 쓰레기차 운전사에게 인사를 했다.

쓰레기차 운전사는 피부가 검은 마른 키 큰 남자였다. 지금 한산의 행동을 보고 입을 벌려 하얀 치아를 드러내며 웃더니, 몇 가지 암호 손짓을 한 후 바로 차를 몰고 떠났다.

만약 이런 암호 손짓을 아는 사람이 여기 있었다면, 분명히 "이건 특전부대의 전용 손짓 아닌가?"라고 외쳤을 것이다.

이런 시끄러운 상황 속에서, 한산은 계속해서 서여계를 업고 눈보라 속을 천천히 걸어가, 마침내 호화롭게 꾸며진 시내 중심가의 별장에 도착했다.

하지만 한산은 서여계의 할아버지를 만나지 못했고, 오히려 별장에는 경호원 우두머리가 책임을 맡고 있었다.

"화강, 날 구해줘."

서여계는 지금 친척을 보자마자 바로 한산의 품에서 벗어나 화강이라는 경호원 우두머리에게 달려가, 한산이 자신을 어떻게 학대했는지 피눈물 나게 고발했다.

화강은 이 말을 듣고 크게 화를 냈다!

비록 그는 한산의 진짜 신분을 알지 못했지만, 서여계를 여기까지 데려올 수 있었다는 것은 한산이 소위 납치범이 아니라는 것을 증명했다.

다만, 한산은 절대로 아가씨를 화나게 해서는 안 됐다.

특히 서여계는 자신이 몰래 좋아하는 여자였다. 비록 화강 자신도 자신에게 희망이 없다는 것을 알고 있었지만, 지금 자신이 사랑하는 사람이 온몸이 더럽고 지저분한 모습을 보고, 게다가 한산이 자신이 사랑하는 여자를 함부로 대했다는 것을 알게 되자, 이는 화강을 격분시켰다.

그래서 화강은 이미 결심했다. 반드시 한산을 혼내주고, 이 분노를 풀어야겠다고.

"네 죽을 줄 알아라!"

화강은 분노하며 한산을 노려보더니, 곧바로 한 주먹을 한산의 얼굴을 향해 날렸다.

“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.
