Introduction

Cuando el caballero entró en la habitación, los rayos del sol finalmente tuvieron la oportunidad de penetrar en el oscuro almacén, llenando la habitación con su brillante luz naranja. Con gran asombro, Leila vio la sombra del príncipe proyectarse claramente en el suelo; en lugar de la de un hombre, su sombra tenía la forma de un feroz dragón.

Leila fue levantada con delicadeza por el caballero oscuro. Parpadeó y sacudió la cabeza, pensando que había presenciado algún tipo de ilusión. Quería ver con claridad la sombra, pero el príncipe ya la había perdido de vista.

Los cruces están prohibidos en la antigua ciudad de King's Harbor. Leila estuvo a punto de ser violada por el comandante en jefe cuando fue capturada y llevada a la Guarnición Real, pero de repente fue rescatada por un príncipe con una misteriosa sombra de dragón...

Chapter 1

Era una habitación oscura y polvorienta. No había fuego en la chimenea, ya que nunca lo permitirían. Leila estaba acostada en su pequeña cama contra la pared. Intentaba colocar su cama lo más lejos posible de la puerta y de las ventanas rotas. El viento la helaba hasta los huesos por la noche. Estaba exhausta después de otro día de duro trabajo. Después de haber cenado solo un pequeño trozo de pan, seguía teniendo hambre. Sin embargo, no podía dormir; el frío la mantenía despierta.

Escuchó una voz, luego un paso. Alguien estaba girando el pomo de la puerta. Se escondió bajo su sábana. No tenía el valor de sentarse o enfrentarse a ellos. Creía que todas las experiencias horribles pasarían eventualmente, si elegía soportarlo todo y esperar a que el tiempo curara sus heridas. Esta siempre había sido su forma de vida. Cerró los ojos y fingió estar dormida.

Era su tío, el esposo de su tía. Entró en su habitación, caminando de puntillas. Leila sintió un alivio recorrer su cuerpo. Su tío siempre había sido bueno con ella. Cuando su tía no estaba en casa, él traía algunos cepillos y fregaba el suelo por un rato, o la dejaba descansar y comer una galleta. A veces, incluso guardaba un pequeño trozo de salchicha para ella, lo cual era muy difícil de hacer, ya que su tía tenía ojos de halcón. Sabía todo lo que pasaba en su casa: dónde se había puesto la carne o cuántas botellas de vino quedaban. Leila solía intentar robar un pequeño trozo de queso para comer; estaba famélica después de todas las tareas sucias y pesadas que se veía obligada a hacer. Su tía se daba cuenta casi al instante. Leila estuvo a punto de ser golpeada hasta la muerte.

Su tía la odiaba. Leila era una mestiza, nacida de un dragón y un humano. También era la razón por la que la hermana de su tía había muerto. La madre de Leila era solo una ciudadana ordinaria que vivía en la ciudad de King’s Harbour, una descendiente normal de los dragones, igual que la tía y el tío de Leila, ocupando el rango más bajo entre su raza. Sin embargo, el padre de Leila era un humano. Los humanos, la raza inferior, solo podían ser sirvientes y esclavos de los dragones. Leila era la primera mestiza, una bastarda, una asquerosa sangre mezclada. Su madre murió al darla a luz, y su padre estaba tan asustado que huyó para salvar su vida. Era un secreto tener una mestiza en esta familia. Tenían que mantenerla en la oscuridad, o de lo contrario toda la familia sería ejecutada por envenenar su sagrada sangre de dragón. Pero la vida de Leila era incluso peor que la de un esclavo humano. Era odiada por los esclavos humanos en la casa por su sangre de dragón, y era abusada por sus medio hermanos y hermanas dragones; la veían como una mancha sucia en el nombre de su familia.

Durante toda su vida, su tío había sido el único que le había mostrado alguna amabilidad. Fingió estar dormida, pero se preguntaba qué le habría traído, tal vez un pastel. Sintió su mano acariciar suavemente su mejilla. Le apartó el cabello y bajó un poco la sábana. Sabía que él la estaba mirando. A veces lo hacía, pero su mirada era amorosa y amable. Sintió un beso en su frente. Era la primera vez que lo hacía, pero no fue terrible. Luego, de repente, su boca se deslizó hacia su cuello, su mano frotando sus pechos y entre sus piernas. Sus manos bestiales la agarraron con firmeza. Al principio, no podía entender lo que estaba haciendo. No parecía un juego, parecía que simplemente quería su cuerpo. Una extraña sensación de hormigueo surgió dentro de ella. Estaba sorprendida y abrió los ojos, luego lo empujó con todas sus fuerzas. Él no esperaba esta reacción. Su tío huyó avergonzado, asustado de que su tía pudiera haber escuchado algo.

Leila estaba completamente sola en la oscuridad. Un profundo temor explotaba dentro de ella. Se sentía avergonzada de sí misma. Sentía una ira hacia su tío, una rabia, acompañada de dolor. Antes de esto, no tenía idea de lo que era sentirse excitada. En toda su joven vida, nunca se había tocado; la excitación sexual era algo de lo que nunca había sido consciente. Esta fue su primera experiencia. No podía perdonarse a sí misma... Sentía algo entre sus piernas, una intimidad secreta que le revolvía las entrañas. Miró las paredes polvorientas. Las formas amorfas, el mortero a lo largo del borde de cada roca, los patrones feos. Conocía cada una de las piedras como la palma de su mano. Bajo la tenue luz de la fría luna, lloró en silencio.

A la mañana siguiente, ocurrió algo horrible. El comportamiento repugnante de su tío fue descubierto por su tía. Un sirviente humano lo había visto entrar en el dormitorio de Leila y reportó este escándalo a la señora de la casa, a primera hora de la mañana, y fue recompensado con una hogaza de pan. Su tío justificó sus acciones y culpó a Leila por tentarlo. Su tía estaba furiosa. Todos sus sentimientos de odio se liberaron de una vez: el dolor que sentía por perder a su hermana, el riesgo constante de esconder a una mestiza, y el hecho de que su esposo se sintiera atraído por esta sucia e impura criatura. Levantó a Leila y la estrelló contra la pared, le abofeteó la cara y le arrojó platos cercanos. La empujó, y Leila rodó hasta la base de las escaleras, quedando casi inconsciente. La sangre brotaba de innumerables heridas en su cabeza y cuerpo. Sabía en su corazón que su tía quería matarla.

Apenas podía abrir sus ojos hinchados. Sus primos estaban desayunando como si nada hubiera pasado, y los sirvientes y esclavos humanos estaban ocupados en sus propios asuntos. Se preguntaba si era un fantasma, invisible bajo la brillante luz del día. Los gritos e insultos que se lanzaban entre su tía y su tío retumbaban en el piso de arriba. Justo en ese momento, vio al granjero entrar en la casa, sosteniendo una gran cesta de verduras. Entró para dejar la entrega, dejando la puerta ligeramente entreabierta. No había tiempo para dudar. Necesitaba correr por su vida.

Leila se obligó a avanzar. Nadie dirigió su mirada hacia ella. Se levantó y se tambaleó hacia la puerta. Estaba a solo metros de distancia, pero se sentía como el viaje más largo que había hecho en su vida. Por primera vez en su vida, quería escapar de esa casa. Siempre le habían dicho que el mundo exterior sería un infierno para ella, que estaría muerta tan pronto como pusiera un pie fuera. Comparado con eso, una comida caliente y medio trozo de pan serían el cielo después de un duro día de trabajo. No tenía ningún deseo de salir. Pero ahora, no tenía otra opción.

Finalmente, llegó a la puerta. La abrió más y salió. Antes de que pudiera mover otro músculo, un grito estalló detrás de ella. Su tía la había visto. Leila corrió con todas sus fuerzas. Si volvía, estaba segura de que la golpearían hasta matarla. Corrió y corrió. Toda la gente en la calle estaba más que sorprendida de verla. Su tía y sus primos iban tras ella. Leila se sentía demasiado débil para seguir corriendo, pero no podía detenerse. Giró a la izquierda en otra calle. Al voltear la cabeza, vio que su tía se estaba acercando. Tenía tanto miedo de ser atrapada de nuevo. Antes de que pudiera reaccionar, se encontró chocando contra algo duro y metálico.
