Introduction

La manada del Diablo Rojo (disfrazada de pícaros) atacó a la manada de lobos plateados y mató a todos excepto a Luna, embarazada, que no estaba allí en ese momento. Pasó a la clandestinidad y, antes de que su hija cumpliera 18 años, falleció. Su hija, Adriana, ha crecido pensando que no es más que una Omega hasta que descubre que es la compañera predestinada del Alfa, Daemon, de la manada que ha estado escondiendo. No quiere una pareja, especialmente una Omega, pero descubre que no puede rechazarla. Descubre que ella es mucho más de lo que cree, y tiene que salvarla de aquellos que podrían hacerle daño por el poder que aporta.

Este libro originalmente era independiente, pero se ha convertido en una serie de cinco libros. Todos ellos están y estarán en este libro.

Chapter 1

Hace 18 años y medio

Punto de vista de Mara

Uno por uno, sentí la devastadora pérdida de cada miembro de mi manada, sus vidas extinguidas por un ataque feroz. Todos ellos. Cada uno de ellos. Mi mundo se hizo añicos en exactamente trescientos sesenta y ocho pedazos.

—¡Mara! Debes ir directamente a Mitchell y Alana. Ellos te protegerán— fueron las últimas palabras que escuché de mi amado compañero Davide mientras me hablaba a través del vínculo mental.

—¡Davide!— le grité de vuelta a través del vacío mental. —¡Davide! ¿Por qué nos has dejado?

Mi compañero Davide, mi Alfa, mi amor, también había caído, dejándome con un dolor que cortaba más profundo que cualquier herida física. El dolor era insoportable, pero no podía rendirme a él. No todavía. No con nuestra hija no nacida dependiendo de mí para sobrevivir.

Toda nuestra manada fue aniquilada en una hora desde que comenzaron a atacar. Forasteros, por lo que había logrado escuchar a través de los vínculos mentales antes de que todo quedara en silencio.

¿Qué hubiera pasado si no hubiera estado fuera de la manada ese día por una cita rutinaria con el médico? Davide tenía mucho trabajo, así que fui sola. Una vez que fui al médico, me quedé y me hice las uñas. Fue una tarde maravillosa que se convirtió en un infierno.

Ahora, estaba sin manada y sin compañero. No podía regresar y seguirlo a su muerte porque llevaba a nuestra hija no nacida. Habría tiempo para eso más tarde, una vez que ella naciera y creciera. Hasta entonces, escribiría tanto como pudiera en diarios, para que ella tuviera algo que leer una vez que yo me fuera.

Punto de vista de Mitchell

—Alfa Mitchell, una loba embarazada en la puerta. Dice que la conoces y está pidiendo verte a ti y a la Luna. Dice que se llama Mara. ¿La dejo entrar?— me comunicó mentalmente uno de los guardias de la puerta.

—¿Mara? ¿Aquí ahora? Sí, tráela a la casa de la manada ahora— le respondí.

—¿Alana? ¿Puedes reunirte conmigo en mi oficina? Mara está aquí— le pedí a mi compañera Luna.

—¿Mara está aquí? ¿Qué quiere?— respondió Alana.

—No lo sé, pero debe ser serio ya que no usó ningún título con los guardias.

—Bajaré pronto.

Alana, mi compañera y Luna, acababa de concebir de nuevo, y esperábamos una hija. Ella estaba solo dos meses detrás de Mara.

Me pareció extraño que el guardia solo dijera Mara y no su título de Luna. Luna Mara y Alfa Davide gobernaban la Manada del Lobo Plateado. También era raro que él no la acompañara. Su manada y la nuestra, la Manada del Lobo Negro, eran aliadas. Nuestras tierras estaban cerca, aunque tomaría una hora conducir de una casa de la manada a la otra. Aun así, pasábamos tiempo juntos y los considerábamos amigos cercanos.

Cuando descubrimos que Mara estaba embarazada de una niña, discutimos la posibilidad de emparejar a nuestro hijo. Teníamos un hijo de ocho años que tomaría el liderazgo de Alfa de mí. A veces, las manadas se unían a otra manada por elección de compañeros, especialmente si sus compañeros destinados no aparecían.

Para cuando Alana había bajado a mi oficina, Mara había llegado con el guardia. Parecía exhausta. Podía verlo en sus ojos; sus inusuales ojos violetas estaban apagados y casi grises. A pesar de estar muy embarazada, no debería verse tan mal. Mara tenía una mirada atormentada y obviamente había estado llorando.

—Mara querida— dijo Alana —¿qué demonios ha pasado?

—No creo que fueran forasteros. Tengo la sospecha de que fue otra manada usando forasteros los que nos atacaron. ¡Davide se ha ido! Están todos muertos. Cada uno de ellos está muerto. Los sentí a todos.

—Gracias a la Diosa que lo lograste— dije.

Estaba absolutamente conmocionado. La Manada del Lobo Plateado contenía al menos 50 lobos. Aunque no era una manada grande, era rica. Davide era un hombre de negocios astuto y había acumulado una buena fortuna. Aunque no podía compararse con la Manada del Lobo Negro en tamaño o riqueza, aún era notable.

—Si no estuviera esperando a Adriana, habría ido y muerto con Davide. Me uniré a él cuando Adriana cumpla 18 años.

—¿Por qué no nos llamaste?— pregunté. —Habríamos venido de inmediato. Nuestros guerreros podrían haber detenido la masacre.

—Nos atacaron ayer. Fue un ataque sorpresa. Cortaron nuestra comunicación y eliminaron a nuestros guardias. Nos superaban en número y en fuerza. La única razón por la que estoy viva es porque estaba en una cita en la ciudad. Ni siquiera llevé un guardia porque normalmente no era necesario.

Podía sentir la desesperación emanando de Mara y estaba agradecido de que mi compañera estuviera a salvo. Perder a un compañero era efectivamente una sentencia de muerte. Estaba seguro de que Mara no había regresado para estar al lado de Davide porque estaba embarazada y necesitaba mantener a su hija a salvo.

—Bueno, al menos tú y tu futura hija están a salvo— dijo Alana. —Necesitamos prepararte una habitación. Puedes quedarte aquí con nosotros. Una vez que hayas descansado, podemos discutir lo que quieres hacer.

Alana llevó a Mara arriba y la acomodó en una de nuestras suites para invitados. Se quedó en una habitación diferente a la que había estado anteriormente con Davide porque habría sido cruel tener un recordatorio constante de Davide.

También arreglé que el médico de la manada viniera a revisarla. La mayoría de los lobos están bien durante su embarazo, pero Mara había pasado por un infierno. Habría sentido el vínculo con cada miembro de su manada mientras morían. El dolor y la angustia podrían haberla matado, y también podría haber tenido un efecto severo en el cachorro no nacido. Sería mejor revisarla lo antes posible.

El hijo de Mara probablemente llevaba el gen Alfa, y eran raros. Por lo tanto, era imperativo que su bebé sobreviviera hasta la adultez. Una vez que se emparejara y tuviera sus propios cachorros, con suerte continuaría el gen Alfa para otra generación.

No siempre funcionaba así, pero generalmente, un Alfa se emparejaba y producía la siguiente generación de Alfas. Los siguientes eran los que eran Beta, luego los lobos sin rango. En la parte inferior estaban los Omegas. No tenían lobos, pero aún tenían algunos vínculos genéticos con nosotros. No eran exactamente humanos, ya que sus sentidos estaban agudizados. También sanaban más rápido que los humanos, pero no tan rápido como aquellos con lobos. A menudo, si un lobo se emparejaba con un humano, entonces su descendencia sería un Omega.

A la mañana siguiente, Mara vino y se unió a nuestra familia para el desayuno.

—Quiero hablar con ustedes sobre establecerme aquí si me aceptan— dijo Mara. —Estoy dispuesta a renunciar a mi rango y declarar mi lealtad a ustedes hasta que mi hija sea adulta. Después de eso, podríamos discutir qué sucederá. ¿Qué piensan?

—No tengo problema con que te quedes aquí— afirmé —pero tus ojos son bastante únicos. Alguien seguramente lo notará y dirá algo. Después de todo, no eres una extraña aquí.

—Podría usar lentes de contacto de color fácilmente. A menudo los usaba cuando no quería destacar. Si Adriana tiene mis ojos, entonces puedo educarla en casa fácilmente. Nadie pensaría que es extraño si viviera en el barrio Omega. No todos ellos van a la escuela, ¿verdad?

—¡Seguramente no querrías vivir con los Omegas!— dijo Alana. —Aunque los cuidamos, no tienen rango, son menos que los lobos sin rango.

—Lo sé— afirmé, habiendo ideado un plan. —Si vives en el área Omega, te estableceré para que no tengas que trabajar. Cría a Adriana y, si es necesario, edúcala en casa. Las mantendremos a ambas ocultas y seguras.

—No tienes que establecerme— respondió Mara. —Todavía tengo acceso a nuestras cuentas. Podrán haber destruido la manada, pero no obtuvieron ninguna de las riquezas monetarias. Tendré suficiente para vivir y también dejar a Adriana cómoda.

—Si eso es lo que quieres hacer, entonces está bien— dijo Alana. —Siempre serás nuestra amiga y puedes llamarnos si nos necesitas.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

260k Views · Completed · Jessica C. Dolan
Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
