Introduction

‘Ela é a babá da minha filha. E minha companheira.’

Lori Wyatt, uma jovem tímida e quebrada de vinte e dois anos com um passado sombrio, recebe a oportunidade de sua vida quando é convidada a ser a babá de um recém-nascido que perdeu a mãe no parto. Lori aceita, ansiosa para se afastar de seu passado.

Gabriel Caine é o Alfa da reverenciada alcateia Moon Fang e o CEO da Caine Inc. Uma noite de bebedeira resulta no nascimento de sua filha e ele encontra uma babá após a morte da mãe dela. Quando ele conhece Lori, descobre que ela é sua companheira e jura protegê-la de seus inimigos.

Os dois não conseguem evitar a atração instantânea entre eles. Lori, que acredita não ser digna de amor, não consegue entender por que o poderoso bilionário está atrás dela, e Gabriel, totalmente encantado por ela, não sabe como ser totalmente honesto com Lori sobre ele ser um lobisomem.

O destino os uniu e agora, juntos, eles devem lutar por seu amor, em meio aos conflitos entre alcateias e os segredos que o passado de Lori guarda.

Será que o amor deles sobreviverá?

Chapter 1

O bebê estava chegando.

Tudo parecia tão fora de lugar. Ela havia sido levada às pressas para o hospital após sua queda. Os médicos e enfermeiras a cercaram, enquanto ela sentia uma dor insuportável. O bebê estava chegando. Esse era o único pensamento que conseguia formular.

O bebê estava chegando.

Por quê? Como?

Ela ainda tinha mais três semanas. Três semanas! Mas Jared tinha que aparecer e arruinar tudo, como sempre fazia.

O Sr. e a Sra. Fuller provavelmente correram para o hospital ao saber da notícia, entre o efeito dos sedativos e a dor insuportável, ela ouvia as vozes deles, distantes e preocupadas. Eles continuavam perguntando sobre o bebê, não sobre ela.

Ela não sabia o que havia acontecido, tudo estava nebuloso. Era uma misericórdia, isso era o que Lori sabia. Era um alívio que o destino tivesse poupado sua memória.

Porque ela não seria capaz de suportar.


Ela acordou na manhã seguinte, as luzes em seu quarto de hospital eram tão brilhantes que quase cegavam. Levou um tempo para ajustar seus olhos à luz. Quando seus olhos finalmente se ajustaram, ela viu que não havia uma única alma em seu quarto de hospital. Ninguém.

Não que ela estivesse esperando alguém. O Sr. e a Sra. Fuller também não, eles estariam muito empolgados com seu novo bebê. Estariam com as mãos cheias.

Ela tentou mover os braços, mas estava dolorida por todo o corpo. Tão dolorida.

Meu Deus, como isso dói. Ela pensou enquanto fechava os olhos de dor. Ela não sabia por quanto tempo havia fechado os olhos, tentando voltar a dormir apenas para se livrar da dor.

Felizmente, uma enfermeira de cabelos escuros entrou momentos depois.

"Você está acordada. Isso é bom."

Ela disse e Lori tentou falar, mas sua garganta estava tão arranhada e seca. Ela tentou alcançar o criado-mudo, onde havia uma garrafa de água, mas o simples movimento causou-lhe uma dor imensa.

"Não se preocupe. Eu pego para você."

A enfermeira disse enquanto pegava a garrafa de água.

Ela serviu a água em um copinho de plástico ao lado do criado-mudo e ajustou a cama de Lori para que ela pudesse se sentar direito e beber.

Lori tomou dois goles e parou.

"O que aconteceu?"

Ela perguntou enquanto olhava ao redor.

"Você desmaiou logo após sua cesariana. Você deixou todos preocupados e assustados. O médico achou que você não iria sobreviver."

A enfermeira disse enquanto colocava o copo de volta no criado-mudo. Ela examinou seus sinais vitais enquanto rabiscava em seu bloco de notas.

"Você se lembra do que aconteceu?"

A enfermeira perguntou e Lori balançou a cabeça.

"Eu não consigo me lembrar. Só me lembro de vir aqui... e da dor..."

Ela disse e a enfermeira assentiu.

"Sim. Você estava com muita dor."

O médico entrou naquele momento, ele era alto, calvo e usava óculos, Lori sentiu que ele parecia vagamente familiar. Ela deve tê-lo visto quando chegou ao hospital.

"Bom dia, Sra. Wyatt. Como você está?"

Ele perguntou e Lori deu de ombros.

"Eu não sei como me sentir, estou dolorida por todo o corpo. Estou com dor."

Ela disse e o médico olhou para a enfermeira. Eles pareciam trocar um olhar que ela não sabia o que significava.

"Sra. Wyatt, você estava em uma condição muito crítica quando foi trazida ontem à noite."

Lori assentiu. Claro que estava, ela havia entrado em trabalho de parto prematuro.

"Preparamos você para uma cesariana de emergência. A cirurgia foi bem-sucedida. Infelizmente, o bebê morreu, de acordo com nossos relatórios, ele estava em sofrimento e também tinha uma anomalia respiratória."

Lori ficou em silêncio, atônita.

O bebê não sobreviveu?!

O quê?!

"O quê?"

Ela disse baixinho e o médico suspirou.

"Fizemos tudo o que podíamos, mas ele não tinha muitas chances desde o início, suspeitamos disso quando você entrou em trabalho de parto prematuro."

O médico acrescentou e Lori gemeu. O som que escapou de sua boca não parecia humano. Nem parecia que vinha dela.

"Onde ele está agora?"

Ela perguntou e o médico suspirou.

"O Sr. e a Sra. Fuller vieram reclamar o corpo dele. Eles trouxeram documentos mostrando que você havia renunciado aos seus direitos de ser a mãe dele."

Eles não podiam nem esperar?!

Ou deixá-la vê-lo?

"Mas! Mas! Eu nem o vi ainda! Eles não me deixaram vê-lo!!!"

Ela gritou e o médico e a enfermeira trocaram olhares silenciosos novamente.

"Sra. Wyatt, você ficou desacordada por muito tempo e, legalmente, eles tinham todo o direito de reclamar o corpo dele."

Lori começou a se mover na cama, ignorando a dor cegante.

"Onde ele está? Onde ele está agora?! Eu quero ver meu filho!"

Ela gritou enquanto colocava uma perna no chão de mármore frio, o movimento sozinho causou-lhe grande dor, mas ela conseguiu.

A enfermeira correu para o lado dela, seus braços fortes a subjugando e tentando arrastá-la de volta para a cama.

"Você não pode se mover agora, Sra. Wyatt, você ainda não está forte o suficiente!"

Ela se aproximou de Lori e Lori afastou sua mão com toda a força que tinha.

O médico deu uma olhada para a enfermeira.

"Sedem-na. Ela precisa descansar."

Ele disse enquanto saía do quarto.

Outra enfermeira entrou correndo naquele momento, Lori ainda estava chorando, gritando e afastando a enfermeira. A outra enfermeira entrou correndo e a imobilizou. Em menos de um minuto, ela se sentiu sonolenta e tudo ficou em branco.


Gabriel Caine caminhava pelos corredores do hospital, inquieto, um pouco assustado e ligeiramente irritado. Suzie era louca. Muito louca. Ela não lhe disse que estava entrando em trabalho de parto. Ela não estava prevista para mais alguns dias, ele pensou que estava tudo bem.

Ele havia dito especificamente para ela ligar se sentisse que o bebê estava chegando porque já se sentia culpado o suficiente por deixá-la sozinha quando o bebê estava tão perto de nascer. Infelizmente, ela escolheu não ouvi-lo.

Ele estava em Nova York quando a ligação de Grace chegou.

Ele correu de Nova York de volta para casa. Chegou o mais rápido que pôde, chegou a tempo, o bebê estava a caminho, mas ainda não havia chegado.

Ele estava preocupado, sua matilha estava igualmente preocupada, para ser honesto.

Embora ele e Suzie fossem um pouco mais do que estranhos, ele ainda se importava com ela, à sua maneira.

Gabriel conheceu Suzie na convenção anual dos Alfas que aconteceu no Canadá. Ela fazia parte de uma matilha diferente, uma matilha menor, mas ela estava lançando olhares para ele durante toda a noite da festa de jantar. Ele não a conhecia, não sabia muito sobre ela, apenas que ela era uma lobisomem, embora uma lobisomem de classificação inferior.

Ele planejava se comportar bem, então ignorou todas as suas investidas, mas ela o alcançou mais tarde em um bar que ele foi depois que a festa acabou e ambos beberam muito e acabaram em um quarto de hotel.

Ele acordou no dia seguinte, nu e já se arrependendo de suas ações. Saiu do quarto do hotel antes que ela acordasse, deixando algum dinheiro para ela no criado-mudo para que pudesse voltar para casa.

Ele nem deixou um número para ela ligar.

Três meses depois, Gabriel estava voltando de uma corrida quando seu beta lhe entregou o telefone dizendo que ele tinha uma ligação urgente de uma mulher estranha chamada Suzie. Ele já havia esquecido dela, mas aceitou a ligação por cortesia.

Suzie afirmou que estava grávida e, a princípio, ele ficou indignado, mas depois se acalmou. Pagou a passagem dela para Denver e fez com que ela fizesse um teste de DNA.

Deu positivo, o bebê era dele. Suzie protestou veementemente para ficar com o bebê, Gabriel concordou, ele não tinha outras intenções.

Claro que ele estava levemente desapontado consigo mesmo. Não era comum que o alfa de uma das matilhas mais prestigiadas do mundo tivesse um filho ilegítimo. Até sua própria família ficou surpresa.

Suzie se mudou rapidamente, ele não tinha objeções a isso, apenas deixou claro qual era o lugar dela. Sim, ela era a mãe de seu filho, mas nunca seria sua companheira ou sua Luna, essas posições ficariam desocupadas até que sua companheira aparecesse.

Suzie tendia a ignorar isso e tentava mandar em seus betas, ainda assim, ele tolerava seus excessos porque ela era a mãe de seu filho.

Ele saiu brevemente para uma viagem de negócios apenas para receber a assustadora ligação de que ela havia entrado em trabalho de parto.

O médico saiu da sala de cirurgia, caminhando rapidamente enquanto tirava as luvas ensanguentadas.

Ele tinha uma expressão sombria no rosto, seu coração estava acelerado.

"Sr. Caine... sinto muito."

Gabriel cerrou o maxilar, preparando-se para a notícia.

"Perdemos a mãe. Mas você tem uma linda menina."

Embora se sentisse culpado, um pouco de sua tensão se dissipou ao ouvir a última parte.

"A Sra. Garcia teve uma parada cardíaca logo após o parto, não tínhamos ideia de seu histórico médico, se soubéssemos, poderíamos tê-la salvado."

Gabriel assentiu, ainda sem palavras.

"Posso ver minha filha agora, por favor?"

Ele perguntou e o médico assentiu.

Logo depois, a enfermeira saiu empurrando o bebê para fora da sala de cirurgia e Gabriel se aproximou para olhar.

Ela estava chorando, gritando como se estivesse sendo assassinada e o coração de Gabriel se partiu ao ouvir o som. Ao ouvir a voz estridente.

Sua filha iria crescer sem uma mãe.

Ela iria crescer sem Suzie.

Em algum lugar em seu coração, Gabriel sentiu que já havia falhado com ela.
