Introduction
Amelie solo quería vivir una vida sencilla fuera del foco de atención de su linaje alfa. Sintió que tenía eso cuando encontró a su primer compañero. Después de años juntos, su pareja no era el hombre que decía ser. Amelie se ve obligada a realizar el ritual de rechazo para hacerse sentir. Su libertad tiene un precio, uno de los cuales es una fea cicatriz negra.
«¡Nada! ¡No hay nada! ¡Tráela de vuelta!» Grito con cada parte de mi ser. Lo supe antes de que dijera nada. La sentí en mi corazón despedirse y soltarla. En ese momento, un dolor inimaginable se apoderó de mi corazón.
Alpha Gideon Alios pierde a su pareja, en el que debería ser el día más feliz de su vida, el nacimiento de sus gemelos. Gideon no tiene tiempo para llorar, se queda sin pareja, solo y es padre recién soltero de dos hijas pequeñas. Gideon no deja que su tristeza se manifieste como si fuera una muestra de debilidad, y es el Alfa de la Guardia Durit, el ejército y brazo investigador del Consejo; no tiene tiempo para la debilidad.
Amelie Ashwood y Gideon Alios son dos hombres lobo rotos a los que el destino ha torcido. Esta es su segunda oportunidad de amar, ¿o es la primera? Cuando estos dos compañeros predestinados se unen, siniestros complots cobran vida a su alrededor. ¿Cómo se unirán para mantener a salvo lo que consideran lo más preciado?
Chapter 1
El Dolor de Gideon
Gideon
—Lo siento, se ha ido. No había nada que pudiera hacer—. El doctor se alejó de mí, con miedo y tristeza en sus ojos.
—¡Nada! ¡No hay nada! ¡Tráela de vuelta!—. Cada parte de mi ser estaba gritando. Lo sabía, lo sabía antes de que él dijera algo. Sentí en mi corazón que ella se despedía y se soltaba. Un dolor inimaginable irradiaba hasta lo más profundo de mi ser, más profundo que cualquier cosa que hubiera sentido antes.
—Ojalá pudiera, pero ya se ha ido. Sabes que es así. Ahora mismo, no tienes tiempo para llorar. Ellas necesitan a su papá—. El doctor dirige mi atención a las dos recién nacidas que también gritaban a todo pulmón. ¿Cómo voy a hacer esto solo? En un instante, mi mundo cambió, pero no de la manera que había imaginado. Mi compañera murió al dar a luz. Tenía preeclampsia y no pudo resistir después del parto. Me dio dos hermosas niñas, Rose y Daisy. Les sonrió, luego dejó este mundo, nos dejó a ellas y a mí.
Todo lo que quería hacer era enfurecerme y destruir todo a mi paso. Yo era un guerrero y un investigador. Todo lo que sé es cómo luchar para salir de los problemas. No podía comprender cómo ella se había ido, y yo estaba solo; no podía luchar para salvarla. Simplemente se había ido. Miré a mis dos hijas gritando por su madre, y todo lo que pude hacer fue llorar. Yo, el Alfa de la Guardia Druit, sollozando tan fuerte y tan alto como mis dos pequeñas. Dos niñas, ¿qué voy a hacer?
¿Cómo voy a criar a dos niñas? ¡Ni siquiera sé cómo cambiar un pañal todavía! Sus vidas pasaron por mi mente mientras crecían, todas las posibilidades y los "qué pasaría si". ¿Sería capaz de enseñarles las cosas necesarias para una niña? ¿Cuáles son las cosas necesarias para una niña? Puedo enseñarles a luchar; puedo enseñarles cómo liderar un ejército de guerreros, ¡pero eso es todo! Nunca me había sentido tan desesperado e impotente en mi vida. Estas dos pequeñas ya me habían roto.
Eran todo lo que me quedaba de mi compañera, mi última conexión con mi amor. No podía culparlas por lo que pasó, pero quería hacerlo. Me golpeó otra ola de tristeza al darme cuenta de que estas dos hermosas bebés nunca verían a su madre sonreírles. Nunca escucharían su voz leyéndoles un cuento antes de dormir. Nunca escucharían su risa ante sus travesuras o sentirían su cálido abrazo. ¿Podría hacer esto, ser tanto madre como padre?
Con la ayuda de la enfermera, levanté a mis pequeñas hijas. Les di un beso a cada una. —Prometo darles todo lo que tengo. No puedo prometer que seré perfecto, o que no cometeré errores, pero daré mi vida por la suya para mantenerlas a salvo. Ahora somos todo lo que tenemos—. Traté de detener mis lágrimas, pero fallé. Tratando de no dejar que mis lágrimas cayeran sobre mis hijas, las volví a poner en la cuna. Habían dejado de llorar y movieron sus pequeños brazos hasta que se tomaron de las manos. Suspiré —al menos siempre se tendrán la una a la otra—. Me senté en una silla junto a ellas, solo observándolas dormir. Un poco paranoico, honestamente, de que dejaran de respirar.
Mientras estaba sentado allí, supe que necesitaba ayudarme a mí mismo a controlar mi dolor. Necesitaba completar nuestro vínculo familiar. Por mucho que doliera, necesitaba vivir por mis hijas. Extendí mi garra en mi mano izquierda, haciendo un pequeño corte en mi derecha, y luego, con la mayor delicadeza posible, pinché ambos dedos gordos de sus pies. Toqué cada uno de sus pequeños dedos con mi corte, dejando que la más pequeña gota de cada una entrara en mi herida. Sentí que entraban en mi alma, y una pizca de esperanza y amor comenzó a sanarme. Miré mi pecho, justo donde estaba mi corazón, y pude ver la marca familiar de mis hijas formándose: una rosa blanca y una margarita blanca y amarilla. —Mis pequeñas flores, no tienen idea de cuánto han salvado a su papá—, susurré.
El doctor tenía razón. No tenía tiempo para llorar. Tenía que seguir viviendo, sin importar cuánto doliera. Dolía, mi marca de compañero ardía en el momento en que ella dejó este mundo. Miré mi marca, y ya estaba desvaneciéndose. Tenía que concentrarme en mis niñas ahora. Podía perderme en el dolor y la tristeza que estaban devorando mi alma. Mi compañera nunca me perdonaría si no seguía adelante y luchaba por nuestros hijos. Simplemente no estaba seguro de cómo hacerlo, por dónde empezar. Supongo que estaré luchando, pero no con mis puños, garras o colmillos. Estaré luchando para que mi corazón roto no se rinda, solo que aún no sé cómo. Solo tenía a mis pequeñas flores para ayudarme a sanar.
