Chapter 1

Ponto de Vista de Acacia Dawn Winters

A vida é um labirinto; siga-o como se sua vida dependesse disso, porque depende.

Ouvi essa frase desde criança e sempre me perguntei por que deveríamos lutar tanto e correr para seguir seu curso.

Sempre fui uma pessoa devagar. Ao contrário da frase, sempre tentei fazer uma vida em ritmo lento para respirar, viver e aproveitar.

Sempre fui uma pessoa que tentava enfrentar as coisas que a vida jogava contra mim e sempre fiquei feliz em superá-las. Nunca corri para acompanhar o ritmo dos outros. Nunca tentei resolver um labirinto o mais rápido possível. Eu também gostava disso.

Eu nunca corri.

Caminhei por toda a minha vida.

Mas agora não...

Pela primeira vez na vida, me senti ansiosa. Me senti confusa, sem rumo e perdida.

Senti que precisava correr. E agora é a hora de correr.

Senti uma estranha sensação elétrica nas pernas e uma coceira para correr o mais longe possível daqui. Mas como posso?

Não posso sair daqui.

Estou presa aqui para sempre, sozinha.

Olhei ao redor do lugar onde estou e tropecei ao tentar me levantar. Como cheguei aqui?

Onde estão os outros?

Onde estão meus amigos?

Olhei novamente ao redor da ilha onde estou e tentei entender o que está acontecendo comigo.

Não há nada além de árvores e plantas aqui.

Como cheguei aqui?

Meus amigos estão me pregando uma peça?

"Ruby? Ruby, onde você está? Eu sei que você está tentando me assustar. Saia do seu esconderijo," gritei alto, esperando uma grande risada como resposta.

"Ruby?"

"Damien? Da...Damien?"

"Pessoal, onde vocês estão se escondendo? Eu sei que vocês estão planejando me assustar."

"Pessoal, saiam de seus esconderijos."

"P – Pessoal. Damien! Carter! Anne! Ruby!" Chamei seus nomes.

Comecei a ficar ansiosa novamente e comecei a correr ao longo das margens da praia de areia branca tentando encontrar alguém. Qualquer um.

Caminhei pela margem por mais de duas horas e não encontrei ninguém. Agora estou confiante de que não é uma brincadeira dos meus amigos. Se fosse, eles já teriam se revelado, mas não vejo ninguém aqui.

Onde estão os outros?

Balancei a cabeça para relembrar todas as memórias da viagem que nosso grupo de amigos estava fazendo na semana passada.

Foi ideia do Carter fazer uma viagem. Ele sempre foi o que nos empurrava para uma aventura enquanto eu e Anne éramos os preguiçosos do grupo. Não importa o quanto gostemos de viajar, eu e Anne ainda escolheríamos ficar aconchegados em casa.

Damien era o neutro de nós. Sempre o equilibrado; ao contrário de sua namorada, Ruby, que era completamente louca. Um pouco extrema e exagerada.

Do ensino médio ao segundo ano da universidade, fomos um grupo explosivo, até fazendo o mesmo curso. Arquitetura.

Pegamos um voo direto de Londres para o Chile para passear e às vezes simplesmente nos perder com o vento. Estar interessado em Arquitetura pode fazer isso com uma pessoa. Seus olhos são treinados para ver a arte em tudo.

A Plaza de Armas era linda com seu estilo Barroco. As estátuas lá eram tão incríveis e tão bonitas que tiramos muitas fotos.

De lá, viajamos para a Caverna de Milodon e, meu Deus, era de tirar o fôlego! Foi a caverna mais bonita que já vi. Era tão profunda e havia uma variedade de novos tipos de animais que você não encontraria em outros lugares.

Arte em seu auge.

A viagem estava indo tão bem com visitas planejadas e uma abordagem nômade à comida. Da terra, ar ao mar, estávamos em busca de todos os tipos de delícias.

Até que –

Até que pensamos em ir para a Patagônia para visitar cachoeiras e geleiras.

Foi aí que começou.

Estávamos viajando de barco para a terra das cachoeiras, felizes, conversando, provocando uns aos outros, ameaçando jogar uns aos outros no mar quando algo pareceu estranho.

Um momento eu estava envolta no abraço da alegria e no momento seguinte senti uma sensação estranha no fundo do estômago.

Era uma sensação estranha que parecia... ominosa!

Como uma premonição de um mau pressentimento.

Senti como se... como se minha alma e corpo estivessem se rasgando e eu estivesse sendo convocada por uma força que não podia ver. Meu coração parecia ter uma estaca atravessada. Doloroso e mortal.

Arrepios percorreram meu corpo e fiquei rígida enquanto a sensação só se intensificava a cada momento que passava. Quatro pares de olhos observaram minha mudança repentina de humor e, antes que eu pudesse contar a eles sobre isso, algo frio me atingiu.

A partir daí, minha memória ficou um pouco turva. Lembro-me vagamente de estar desmaiando e ouvir um estalo alto antes de tudo ficar escuro.

Vendo como me encontrei na margem de uma ilha, inconsciente e quase morta, ficou claro que a sensação ominosa que senti estava certa.

Nosso navio naufragou e eu fui a única que foi levada até este lugar. A ilha deserta cheia de vegetação selvagem.

Oh, céus, meus amigos... eles sobreviveram como eu?

Não acho que alguém tenha flutuado até esta ilha, pois parece que estou sozinha aqui. Mas como?

O suposto naufrágio aconteceu no meio do mar, então não é possível que eu tenha flutuado até aqui. E o estranho é que minhas roupas não estão tão molhadas.

Não é um dia ensolarado para eu concluir que talvez minhas roupas e cabelo secaram enquanto eu estava inconsciente. Isso também não é possível. E eu me sinto bem.

Considerando uma experiência de quase morte, me sinto um pouco fraca, mas bem. Bem o suficiente para ter caminhado duas horas ao redor da margem da ilha.

O que exatamente está acontecendo aqui?

Por que estou sozinha nesta ilha?

Lágrimas rolaram pelo meu rosto diante da situação em que me encontro. Não sei onde estou e como cheguei aqui. Quero voltar para minha casa, para minha universidade e para meus amigos.

Mas como?

Como posso voltar daqui? Há apenas água ao redor e nenhuma habitação em lugar algum. A terra onde estou atualmente é inexplorada e desconhecida.

Sem vestígios de pessoas ou barcos!

"ARGH!!!!" Gritei de medo ao ouvir o som alto do trovão.

Tropecei para trás com o som repentino e caí na areia branca, cobrindo o rosto com as mãos.

Uma série de trovões atingiu o céu nublado, me deixando ainda mais assustada.

Parece que vai chover e preciso procurar um abrigo antes de ficar completamente encharcada e morrer de hipotermia.

Olhei ao redor da vasta margem e do véu profundo de árvores altas alinhadas ao longo das bordas da floresta.

Com outro relâmpago forte, a chuva fria começou a cair com gotas grandes e pesadas, me encharcando completamente em segundos.

Tremendo e gaguejando com os dentes batendo, me movi imediatamente em direção à árvore alta e cheia de folhagem para me proteger dos ataques frios.

A cada rajada de vento frio, um calafrio profundo começou a percorrer minha espinha.

Ouvi um grito alto de um animal vindo do fundo da floresta, me fazendo engasgar com soluços. Era selvagem e parecia faminto.

Perigosamente predatório, o rosnado foi seguido por outro, desta vez muito mais feroz.

Puxa! Eu sobrevivi a um grande naufrágio apenas para ser devorada viva por um animal?

Ficar debaixo de uma árvore durante uma tempestade é assinar uma carta de morte com um sorriso, então, para evitar ser atingida por um raio ou queimada pelo fogo, olhei ao redor para encontrar algo mais seguro para me abrigar, vendo como a margem desprotegida e o abrigo das árvores estão ambos atualmente se unindo para me matar de qualquer maneira.

Com uma série de palavrões, esfreguei meus olhos embaçados e caminhei ao redor das árvores gêmeas para encontrar algo, uma toca, uma caverna ou algo mais seguro.

O pouco calor no meu corpo começou a desaparecer lentamente. Posso sentir meus lábios rachados e congelados. Lentamente, comecei a perder o controle sobre meu corpo e o frio infernal entorpeceu todos os meus movimentos.

Eu não conseguia me mover sozinha. Os olhos que antes estavam embaçados pela chuva começaram a perder o foco e minha cabeça começou a ceder; quase me colocando em outro sono, mas desta vez, tenho certeza de que não acordaria dele.

Agachada e me abraçando, minha cabeça se inclinou para trás contra o tronco da árvore. Meus sentidos começaram a falhar um após o outro. Logo, meus ouvidos não ressoavam mais os sons do vento, das ondas e da chuva. Meu nariz, muito frio e dormente para cheirar qualquer coisa, eu não sentia minha própria pele.

O desfile nebuloso do meu cérebro continuou a me levar para um sono eterno. Mais alguns segundos, eu estaria perdida para sempre e nem teria mente suficiente para dizer algumas últimas palavras para mim mesma.

Meus olhos finalmente se fecharam, acolhendo a calma torturante que me envolvia, apenas para ser quebrada por algo que soava como um nome.

"Acacia"

“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.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”


As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.
Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.
That’s where Alpha Adrian found me.
No one could resist the charming Adrian, and I joined his mysterious pack hidden deep in the desert.
The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
The werewolf world was on the verge of a revolution. That’s when I saw Leon again...
Torn between two Alphas, I had no idea that what awaited us wasn’t just a competition—but a series of brutal, unforgiving trials.

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night.
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

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.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.

Well, here goes everything.

He kills without mercy. She loves without reason. And nothing will stop her from having him.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven. Enemies' heads delivered to his doorstep, gift-wrapped in bloodied silk. It isn’t fear that coils in his gut—it’s fascination. Someone is watching him. Someone who knows him. Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.

She’s done watching. It’s time he learns the truth.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
