Introduction

Primero, mataron a mis padres. Así que hice lo más racional de la época. Corrí. Ahora me encuentro en una encrucijada, pues me persiguen hombres lobo en una ciudad desconocida, y he tenido que sopesar mis alternativas, ambas poco atractivas. Ninguna de las dos opciones me daba esperanzas. Me condenarían.

Los fae eran las criaturas más poderosas del mundo. Mientras tuviéramos magia y a nuestra pareja. Ninguno de mis cuatro amigos era una buena opción, cada uno tan brutal y cruel como el otro. Darío era un fae-demonio, Tobías un fae vampírico, luego está Lycus, que es un licántropo, y el último fue Kalen, un fae oscuro puro, y me habían estado cazando igual que estos lobos durante años. Pero ahora, se está acabando la magia y se enfrenta a la muerte. Me quedan dos opciones: lanzar un destello de magia y pedir ayuda, o morir.

Ahora me he visto obligada a establecer un vínculo que nunca quise, pero no tenía opciones y solo tenía que rezar para que tuvieran piedad de mí.

Chapter 1

Algo se sentía mal esta mañana. No sabía qué, pero algo se sentía diferente mientras miraba alrededor de la sala llena de gente. Ojos lascivos me observaban desde donde estaba sentada sola en el comedor. Mi lugar habitual estaba ocupado, prefiriendo estar más cerca de la salida donde pasaba mayormente desapercibida. Estar más cerca de la puerta era más seguro porque me daba una ruta de escape.

Sus miradas lascivas me ponían nerviosa mientras me observaban con hambre. Odiaba este lugar. No había otras mujeres aquí. Sobre todo, odiaba ser el sujeto que amaban atormentar. Todo empeoraba por el hecho de que no tenía poder para detenerlos.

En una sala llena de hombres, destacaba como un pulgar dolorido, y hacía lo mejor que podía para mantenerme al margen. El murmullo circundante se calmó y me hizo mirar rápidamente alrededor antes de agachar la cabeza cuando los noté. Darius había entrado en la sala con mis otros tres compañeros. Caminaron hacia el fondo de la sala y tomaron asientos en la parte trasera, lo cual me pareció un poco extraño; rara vez los veía aquí. Parecía que tenían algo que hablar con sus reclutas porque Darius hablaba de alguna tontería en la que no tenía interés en saber. Manteniendo la cabeza baja, comí rápidamente, deseando nada más que salir de allí.

Sin embargo, en el momento en que me levanté y fui a tirar mi basura en el contenedor, mis músculos se espasmaron, mis pies vacilaron mientras intentaba dar un paso lejos de la mesa, y todo mi cuerpo se paralizó con una sola orden.

—Aleera, congélate—, dijo una voz. Reconocí la voz al instante y temí lo que haría esta vez.

Todo mi cuerpo se detuvo ante la orden. No podía moverme ni un centímetro, y todos estallaron en carcajadas. Oh, cómo lo intenté, pero no pude mover ni un dedo del pie. ¿A qué me someterían estos hombres salvajes esta vez? Normalmente no llegaban tan lejos. Usualmente, me atormentaban, me perseguían, me lastimaban. Sin embargo, esta era la primera vez que usaban compulsión sobre mí, y se sentía mal mientras cada músculo de mi cuerpo se tensaba.

Mis ojos se dirigieron a mis compañeros en el fondo. Darius, Tobias y Lycus observaban desde la mesa lejana. Siempre estaban felices de presenciar mi sufrimiento. Kalen, sin embargo, miró alrededor de la sala antes de mirarme a mí y bajar la cabeza.

Mi estómago se hundió cuando Zac, uno de los reclutas bajo el mando de Darius, se levantó de su asiento. Mis pulmones se contrajeron ante la cruel sonrisa que se dibujaba en su rostro. Zac se acercó con paso lento antes de detenerse frente a mí. Sus ojos me miraron de arriba abajo con hambre. Zac era el peor de todos los reclutas que había conocido aquí. El vil bastardo no tenía límites. Usualmente estaba detrás de mis peores degradaciones. Zac caminó lentamente a mi alrededor y me quitó el envoltorio del sándwich de los dedos mientras yo permanecía inmóvil.

—Ponte recta—, ordenó, y rechiné los dientes. Mi cuerpo forzado hacía lo que se le ordenaba mientras la fría magia de Zac me acariciaba. Un violento estremecimiento recorrió mi cuerpo en repulsión mientras intentaba luchar contra la orden, pero era inútil. Yo era una marioneta con hilos, y él era el titiritero.

—¿Nada que decir, Aleera?—, se rió, y toda la sala estalló en carcajadas. Excepto mis compañeros, que observaban desde el fondo con rostros inexpresivos.

—Nada de lo que diga te detendrá. ¿Quieres que suplique? ¿Que suplique para que no hagas lo que sea vil cosa que planeas hacer?—, le escupí.

Estando atrapada en este lugar, aprendí rápidamente a no suplicar. Solo hacía que el tormento fuera peor cuando lo hacía. No les importaba que fuera mujer; no les importaba que fuera impotente. Todo lo que les importaba era el control que tenían sobre mí.

—Tienes razón. No me detendría. Los chicos y yo queremos que nos hagas un pequeño espectáculo—, dijo Zac con un tono divertido. Miré alrededor de la sala para encontrar a los hombres inclinándose hacia adelante con entusiasmo; uno incluso me guiñó un ojo mientras otro se lamía los labios.

Mis ojos se dirigieron a la mesa donde estaban mis compañeros. No mostraban ni un ápice de emoción por lo que estaba a punto de soportar. No me ayudarían, no es que lo esperara. Nunca lo hacían. Si tan solo les hubieran dicho quién era yo para ellos, si tan solo sus soldados lo supieran. No tendría que lidiar con esta mierda a diario. Sin embargo, sabía que lo negarían si hablaba. Darius había amenazado con matarme si le decía a alguien aquí quién era yo para ellos. Así que me había mantenido callada. Me odiaban, y el sentimiento era mutuo. Sin embargo, no podía soportar verlos heridos, así que ¿cómo podían ellos ver mi humillación sin ninguna expresión?

Mis ojos volvieron a Zac, quien me miraba de arriba abajo. ¿Me iba a hacer bailar? ¿Qué quería decir con un espectáculo? Ya estaba en exhibición. ¿Cuánto peor podría ponerse?

—Siempre podrías decir que no—, Zac se burló antes de resoplar. —Oh, es cierto, no puedes. Pobre e indefensa Aleera, siempre tan fácilmente influenciada, tan fácilmente dominada. Debe ser realmente horrible ser la forma más débil de hada—, se mofó. Sus ojos demoníacos recorrieron mi cuerpo de una manera lasciva y obscena. Su mirada se detuvo en mis pechos, y sentí que mi estómago se hundía en algún lugar profundo y frío dentro de mí. Sabía lo que iba a decir antes de que lo dijera. Recé para estar equivocada, pero sus siguientes palabras confirmaron mis pensamientos.

—Desnúdate, Aleera—, dijo Zac, su voz saliendo como un ronroneo. Parpadeé, tratando de luchar contra su compulsión con todo lo que tenía, aunque sabía que era inútil. Mis ojos ardían mientras las lágrimas amenazaban con derramarse, y mis manos temblaban mientras intentaba resistir hacer lo que él pedía.

—Todo. Quiero verte completamente desnuda—. Mis dedos desabotonaron forzosamente los botones de mi blusa negra. Mi respiración se volvió más agitada mientras intentaba resistir su compulsión. Un sollozo salió de mis labios que sonó más como un gemido. Mi visión se nubló mientras mi blusa se abría y revelaba mi sostén negro. Zac agarró mi camisa y la arrancó, desgarrándola dolorosamente de mi cuerpo con la fuerza que usó. Mis cicatrices estaban a la vista de todos. La peor era la quemadura que iba desde mi hombro hasta mi cadera.

Los hombres que miraban gritaban y silbaban, y algunos incluso se burlaban de mi piel quemada y llena de cicatrices. ¿Era esto la escuela secundaria? ¿Eran realmente tan inmaduros? Eran hombres adultos, y todos me estaban sometiendo a esto. Lo peor de todo, mis compañeros solo miraban. Aunque, noté que Kalen apartó la mirada cuando mis ojos se posaron en él; casi parecía sentirse culpable, como si quisiera intervenir y detenerlo. Mis dedos seguían trabajando para desabotonar y desabrochar mis pantalones negros. Mis ojos ardían por las lágrimas que se acumulaban y se derramaban mientras me inclinaba para quitarme los pantalones.

—Por favor, detente—, dije con la voz entrecortada mientras me ponía de pie. ¿Cómo podían ser todos tan crueles?

—Todo—, ordenó Zac de nuevo.

Todo mi cuerpo temblaba ante su orden, mis mejillas ardían de humillación, las lágrimas corrían por mis mejillas y goteaban de mi barbilla, y podía escuchar a todos hablando y riendo.

Mi labio inferior temblaba mientras mis manos alcanzaban la parte trasera de mi espalda y luchaban con el broche de mi sostén. Un sollozo entrecortado salió de mí cuando se desabrochó. No podía soportarlo, así que cerré los ojos con fuerza para no ver sus rostros mirándome. Esperaba que estuviera atascado, pero, por supuesto, se desabrochó fácilmente y me expuso más.

La mano de Zac recorrió mi brazo desde el hombro hasta el codo mientras bajaba la tira de mi sostén. Mis ojos se abrieron de golpe al sentir su toque, su otra mano se movió a mi cadera, y sentí la bilis subir por mi garganta. El tacto de sus manos sobre mí me repugnaba. Me preguntaba hasta dónde llegaría con esto. Mirando a mis compañeros, Kalen se levantó y salió junto con Lycus. Darius y Tobias, sin embargo, disfrutaban de mi tormento.

—Rápido, Aleera, quítatelo, quítatelo todo—, ronroneó Zac mientras tiraba de la tira de mi sostén del otro hombro. Miré a Darius. ¿Era esto lo que quería? ¿Aún no era suficientemente humillante? Sus ojos se oscurecieron cuando Zac pasó su mano por mi costado antes de agarrar mi pecho bruscamente. Torció mi pezón dolorosamente, haciéndome gritar, y sentí más lágrimas derramarse mientras mi sostén caía. La sala estalló en silbidos y burlas vulgares.

Darius y Tobias podían detener esto, y les supliqué con la mirada que intervinieran, solo esta vez y no me sometieran a esto. Mis manos temblaban violentamente mientras alcanzaban mis bragas. Era la última prenda de ropa que me quedaba, el único lugar que aún no había sido tocado.
