Chapter 1

인생은 동화가 아니야. 인생은 힘들고 고통스러워. 어둡고 텅 비어 있지. 아마 대부분의 사람들에게는 행복하고 항상 맑은 날일 수 있지만, 나에게는 그렇지 않아. 나는 누구냐고? 내 이름은 레인, 성은 없어, 그냥 레인이라고 해. 나는 블루 리버 늑대 무리에서 자란 고아 마녀야. 부모님이 어떤 분들이었는지, 왜 하필 늑대 무리 속에 나를 버렸는지 항상 궁금했어. 그들이 나를 사랑하지 않았던 걸까, 내가 실수로 태어난 걸까, 아니면 그들이 아직 살아있기라도 한 걸까? 내가 가진 수많은 질문에 대한 답을 절대 알 수 없을 거야, 그리고 내가 미래를 가질 수 있을지도 의문이야.

무리의 모든 사람들이 나를 싫어해, 내 친구 제시카 톰슨을 제외하고는. 그녀도 고아야. 그녀의 부모님은 그녀가 7살 때 무리 공격에서 죽었어. 가족이 모두 죽고 나서, 비록 그녀는 무리에서 태어났지만, 나처럼 고아가 되었지. 하지만 그녀는 17살이 되면 늑대의 힘을 얻고 무리 집에서 자리를 잡게 돼, 나는 그녀와 다르게 무리의 노예가 될 거야. 나는 17번째 생일이 지나고 다음 보름달이 뜰 때까지 내 힘을 얻지 못해, 그 힘을 어떻게 사용하는지 가르쳐줄 사람도 없어.

아, 맞다, 내 생일은 3주 뒤라고 해 (무리는 내 실제 생일을 몰라서 그냥 추측했어), 제시카의 생일은 내 생일보다 일주일 반쯤 먼저야. 아마 그래서 우리가 잘 어울리는 걸지도 몰라. 무리는 그녀를 위해 생일 파티를 열어주고 케이크와 선물을 준비해, 그녀는 여전히 무리의 일원이니까. 비록 나를 위한 파티는 없지만, 그녀는 항상 몇 개의 선물을 포장해 두고 나에게 주고, 작은 생일 케이크도 만들어줘. 왜냐하면 나는 무리의 일원이 아니기 때문에 파티를 받지 못하거든.

가끔은 태어나지 않았으면 좋겠다고 생각해. 내 인생은 길고 비참했어. 하지만 제시카는 항상 내 삶을 더 나아지게 하려고 노력해. 우리는 대부분의 밤을 작은 방에서 이층 침대에서 이야기를 하면서 보내. 항상 다른 주제로 이야기해. 제스는 내가 지루해하지 않도록 한다고 말하지만, 나는 그녀가 반복하는 걸 싫어해서 그런 것 같아. 하지만 정말 말하기 좋아하는 제스야, 나는 듣는 걸 좋아하고.

“레인 버그... 레인... 레인!” 제스가 나를 깨우려고 이층 침대 아래를 발로 차며 소리쳤어.

“일어났어, 일어났어!” 나는 눈을 비비며 투덜거렸어.

“아이고, 또 아름답고 맑은 날이네” 제스가 창문을 보며 환하게 웃었어. “너무 신나, 이제 2주만 지나면 내 늑대를 얻고 내 짝을 찾을 수 있다니! 잘생겼으면 좋겠어.”

“제스, 짝이 뭐야?” 내가 이층 침대에서 내려오며 물었어.

“짝은 너의 반쪽, 너의 영혼의 동반자, 평생 너를 사랑하고 소중히 여겨줄 사람이야.” 그녀가 미소를 지으며 말했어.

“나도 짝을 가질 수 있을까?” 나는 그게 얼마나 좋은지 생각하며 물었어.

“잘 모르겠어, 마녀에 대해서는 그런 게 어떻게 작용하는지 잘 몰라.” 우리가 복도를 걸으며 그녀가 말했어.

“아, 그래,” 나는 평평한 목소리로 대답했어. 나에게는 너무 좋은 이야기인 것 같았어.

“걱정하지 마, 레인 버그. 짝이 있든 없든 네 곁에는 항상 내가 있을 거야.” 그녀가 미소를 지으며 말했어.

“사랑해, 제스,” 나는 작은 미소를 지으며 고아원의 계단을 내려가 아침 식사를 준비하기 위해 주방으로 걸어갔어.

아이들이 모두 식사를 마친 후, 제스와 나는 그들이 옷을 입고 필요한 모든 것을 가지고 있는지 확인한 후, 제스가 그들을 학교로 데려다 줘. 모두가 떠나고 나면 내 일상 청소 시간이야. 여덟 개의 침실, 주방, 거실, 그리고 두 개의 욕실을 청소한 다음, 빨래를 하고 침대를 정리한 후 저녁 식사를 준비해. 나는 여덟 살 때부터 청소와 요리를 혼자서 해야 했어. Ms. 리애나는 내가 17살이 되어 무리의 노예가 되어 무리 집 지하실로 옮겨질 때를 대비해 준비시키고 훈련시키는 거라고 말했어.

"레인, 나 학교 다녀왔어," 제스가 계단을 올라오며 내가 있는 방으로 들어오면서 외쳤다. 내가 돌아서자 그녀는 내 얼굴에 떠오른 당황한 표정을 보고 내가 청소도 다 못 끝냈고 저녁 준비도 시작하지 않았다는 걸 알아차렸다. 우리 둘 다 알지, 모든 게 완벽하게 준비되지 않으면 리아나 씨가 알파와 함께 집을 자랑하러 올 때 그녀가 창피를 당할 거라는 걸. 그러면 나는 또다시 매를 맞게 될 거야.

"어머나, 지난번 맞은 상처도 아직 다 낫지 않았잖아." 그녀가 당황하며 빨리 세탁기와 저녁 준비를 시작하고 나는 나머지 두 방을 마무리했다. 약 20분 후, 바닥은 쓸고 닦았고, 아이들 장난감은 정리함에 넣었으며, 침대는 깔끔하게 정돈되었고, 창문도 닦았다.

"이제 남은 건 계단뿐이네," 나는 혼잣말을 했다. 나는 재빨리 젖은 걸레를 집어 들고 침실 문을 나서서 복도를 달렸다. 첫 번째 계단에 도착해 닦기 시작하자마자 현관문이 열렸다. "큰일 났다," 나는 그들이 듣지 못하게 낮게 속삭였다. 나는 계단을 내려가서 모퉁이를 돌았다. 리아나 씨는 알파를 따라 몇 걸음 뒤에 걸어오며 집을 점검하고 있었다. 그녀는 모퉁이에 숨어 있는 나를 보고, 만약 시선으로 사람을 죽일 수 있었다면 나는 이미 죽었을 것이다.

알파가 집을 점검하며 돌아다닌 지 10분이 지나자 그는 리아나 씨에게 집을 잘 관리했다고 칭찬하며 보너스 수표를 건넸다. 그가 떠나자마자 나는 무슨 일이 벌어질지 알고 있었다. 그녀는 내 머리카락을 잡아당겨 지하실로 끌고 갔다. 거기에는 그녀의 채찍이 있었다. 그녀는 내 손목을 벽에 사슬로 묶고 내 등을 드러내기 위해 셔츠를 찢었다.

"이 작은 년아. 내가 옷도 입혀주고 먹여주는데도 네가 알파 앞에서 나를 창피하게 만드는구나!" 그녀는 채찍을 내 맨 등 위로 세게 내리치며 소리쳤다.

"리아나 씨, 죄송해요. 실수였어요. 제발 용서해 주세요." 나는 이를 악물며 애원했다. 울지 않으려고 애쓰는 건 울면 더 나빠질 걸 알기 때문이다. 그녀가 알파 앞에서 창피를 당하는 것보다 더 싫어하는 건 우는 고아... 그리고 나다.

몇 번 더 채찍질을 한 후, 그녀는 마침내 멈췄다. "몸을 정리하고 저녁 준비해. 아이들이 학교에서 곧 돌아와서 먹을 거야." 그녀는 말하고 계단을 올라가며 보너스로 쇼핑을 하러 나갔다.

"어머나, 레이니, 이번엔 지난번보다 더 심하다. 왜 그녀는 네가 늑대가 아니라서 치유가 더 오래 걸린다는 걸 이해하지 못하는 걸까." 제스가 계단을 내려오며 벽에 묶인 내 손목을 풀어주고 내 등을 살펴보며 울었다. "가만히 있어, 내가 너를 깨끗이 닦아줄게."

"시간 없어, 제스. 아이들이 학교에서 돌아오기 전에 저녁을 준비해야 해," 나는 일어나려 하며 말했다.

"이미 다 했어. 내가 말한 대로 가만히 있어줘. 내가 너를 깨끗이 닦아줄게." 그녀는 따뜻한 젖은 걸레로 내 등을 부드럽게 닦기 시작하며 말했다. "아이들이 너를 이렇게 보는 걸 원하지 않지?"

"정말 고마워. 네가 떠나면 나는 어떻게 해야 할까?" 나는 말했다.

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.
