00:00the killing intent through the screen.
00:01Vera, whose voice is that?
00:04I clamped a hand over the man's mouth.
00:06My brain spun.
00:07Honey, I'm watching a teen drama.
00:09Damon let out a cold laugh.
00:10Sure.
00:11My husband Damon Vance and I had a contract marriage.
00:13He was busy with work, didn't pay attention to me,
00:16even just came home a handful of times.
00:18That day I came home and saw him in a varsity football jersey.
00:20He looked young, quiet, and surprisingly well-behaved.
00:23I scoffed.
00:24What? Contract's almost up so you want to suck up to me?
00:27You don't have to try this hard.
00:29I didn't wait for his answer.
00:30I stepped closer, then closer, hands all over him.
00:33Damon went stiff.
00:34He let me, right when I was about to go further.
00:37A video call came in.
00:38The contact name said, Damon, my husband.
00:41The phone screen flashed wildly in the living room.
00:44The words, Damon, looked especially sharp.
00:46I lowered my head, looked at the man pinned under me.
00:49My brain short-circuited for a second.
00:52If the person calling was my husband,
00:54then who was I sitting on?
00:56Damon clearly saw the screen too.
00:58A flicker of shock crossed his eyes,
01:00then quickly smoothed over my head to stand.
01:02He used a little more strength, pressed me back down.
01:05His breath hit my collarbone.
01:06Honey, pick up.
01:08Why aren't you picking up?
01:10That voice.
01:11Those features.
01:12That bone structure.
01:14There couldn't possibly be a second person.
01:17Other than being a decade younger,
01:18he looked exactly like Damon.
01:20Was this some weird new game of his?
01:22I took a deep breath and slid the call open.
01:25Damon's mature, cold face appeared on the screen.
01:2830-year-old Damon.
01:30Every line of his face carried the pressure of years in boardrooms.
01:33He frowned slightly.
01:34His eyes scanned me through the screen.
01:36Vera, where are you?
01:37Why are you breathing like that?
01:39My heart jumped.
01:40I steadied my voice and lied.
01:41At home.
01:42Just finished yoga.
01:43Damon stared at the background on my screen.
01:45Why are the lights off?
01:46I was about to say I forgot to turn them on.
01:48The young man underneath me suddenly moved.
01:50He didn't just move.
01:51He pressed himself up into me on purpose.
01:53Babe.
01:55My leg's going numb.
01:56A heavy, breathy moan went straight into the microphone.
01:59The air went dead silent.
02:01On the other end, Damon's eyes turned to ice.
02:03I could feel the killing intent through the screen.
02:05Vera.
02:06Whose voice is that?
02:08I clamped a hand over the man's mouth.
02:10My brain spun.
02:11Honey, I'm watching a teen drama.
02:13Damon let out a cold laugh.
02:14Sure.
02:15My flight gets in at 10 tomorrow morning.
02:17The call cut.
02:17I was furious and humiliated.
02:19I threw the phone aside and grabbed the boy by the throat.
02:21Who the hell are you?
02:23He wasn't bothered at all.
02:24He casually grabbed my wrist.
02:26I'm Damon Vance.
02:27He paused.
02:28His voice was full of swagger.
02:2920-year-old Damon Vance.
02:3210 minutes later, every light in the living room was on.
02:35I sat in the single armchair, arms crossed.
02:3820-year-old Damon sprawled across from me.
02:40His jersey hiked up to show a strip of stomach.
02:43He looked exactly like my husband.
02:45Just younger.
02:46Greener.
02:46His hair wasn't slicked back like a businessman's.
02:49It was a messy black cut.
02:50College boy's hair.
02:51He wasn't steady or controlled.
02:54He was electric.
02:55His eyes were full of curiosity and bite.
02:57I spent a full 10 minutes accepting the absurd fact of a time slip.
03:00The boy in front of me really was Damon.
03:0210 years ago, he'd been walking home from practice, cut through a tunnel by the field.
03:07Then, when he came out the other side, he ended up in my living room.
03:11So, you're my future wife?
03:13Young Damon looked me up and down.
03:15His eyes were shameless.
03:17Direct.
03:17That kind of in-your-face interest only a 20-year-old boy can pull off.
03:21Legally, we signed the papers.
03:23He let out a snort.
03:24Future me's got decent taste.
03:27But damn, he's living rough.
03:28He stuck you in this soulless box?
03:30He pointed at my empty, minimalist living room.
03:33What's wrong with him?
03:34I didn't know what to say.
03:35My marriage with Damon really was lifeless.
03:37Business merger.
03:38Mutual benefit.
03:40Three years in, we were the perfect couple in public.
03:42Behind closed doors, we were roommates with a shared lease.
03:45He ran his cross-border deals.
03:47I ran my art gallery.
03:48The fact that we had nothing to talk about wasn't even the main symptom.
03:51The main symptom was that we barely slept together.
03:53Twice a month was a good month.
03:54And only when his schedule was light.
03:57Big Damon always felt rigid to me.
03:59Boring as hell.
04:01I looked at this young Damon.
04:03All energy and snark.
04:04Suddenly, it felt interesting.
04:06You'll find out for yourself.
04:07I mean, in the future.
04:10But you.
04:11That little stunt earlier.
04:13What were you doing?
04:14Young Damon scooted closer.
04:16His scent hit me.
04:17Young.
04:17Alive.
04:18Just wanted to see how pathetic 30-year-old me turned out.
04:21His voice was full of open contempt.
04:22Married and leaves his wife alone every night?
04:25If I were him, I'd be too embarrassed to even check in by video.
04:28I couldn't help it.
04:29I laughed out loud.
04:30He stared at me with big eyes.
04:33His voice softened.
04:34Babe, he's pretty boring, isn't he?
04:37Snake.
04:37Pure, manipulative little snake.
04:39This kid was already this good at 20.
04:41I reached out and ran my hand through his hair.
04:43It was soft.
04:45Just the right texture.
04:46I played along.
04:47He really is boring.
04:51So what do you think I should do?
04:53Young Damon's eyes lit up.
04:54He said he's coming home tomorrow morning, right?
04:56He flipped the script.
04:57Caught my wrist.
04:58Tonight I'll keep you company.
05:00I promise I'm way more fun than that old man.
05:04That night, we didn't do anything.
05:06Young Damon was only 20.
05:07I wasn't enough of a monster to touch a kid that age.
05:09But he was fun.
05:10He pulled me into an all-night gaming session.
05:12He laughed at me out loud when I lost and got mad.
05:15When I got hungry, he ran into the kitchen and made me a bowl of pasta.
05:18Babe, try my cooking.
05:20Spaghetti with my special sauce.
05:21It's bomb.
05:22I watched him moving around the kitchen.
05:24Something shifted in my chest.
05:2530-year-old Damon never went near a kitchen.
05:28He'd just have his assistant order the highest-end Michelin delivery.
05:31Or take me to some elegant rooftop fine dining.
05:33Too busy to be there?
05:34Just hand me a black card and call it done.
05:36At first, looking at the numbers in the account, I'd swallowed it down.
05:39So what if it was a sexless marriage?
05:41A few more years of saving and I wouldn't need to work at all.
05:44Honestly, plenty of women would kill for this kind of life.
05:47And Damon was cold, yes.
05:48But the man was flawless to look at.
05:50I'd never really paid attention to other men before.
05:52But now I had a point of comparison.
05:54It had been a long time since I'd felt this kind of clumsy, warm, eager-to-please attention.
05:58Cute and passionate.
06:00The pasta was done.
06:01Young Damon brought the bowl over and set it in front of me.
06:03Eat up.
06:04Personally made by yours truly.
06:06Outsiders don't get this treatment.
06:07His voice was smug.
06:08I took a bite.
06:09It was actually pretty good.
06:10You've got skills.
06:12Babe.
06:12He watched me eat.
06:14You're cute when you play.
06:15Way cuter than I expected for an older woman.
06:17I stopped.
06:18Shot him a cold look.
06:19He immediately threw his hands up.
06:21Okay, okay.
06:22My fault.
06:23But you tell me.
06:24That 30-year-old me, does he ever have him to hang out with you?
06:27His tone was a little off.
06:28I didn't catch it.
06:29At 30, you're a CEO.
06:31Busier than a surgeon.
06:33Never mind hanging out.
06:34He barely comes home.
06:35Who knew 20-year-old you would have this much life in him?
06:38Knew it.
06:38He's just an old man with money.
06:40He leaned in.
06:41His voice dropped low, tempting.
06:43Forget about him.
06:44Be with me.
06:45I'm young.
06:46I've got energy.
06:47I'll satisfy you.
06:49Every night.
06:52A month later, I married Damon Whitmore.
06:54I stepped right into Chase's path and held it out.
06:57Thanks for helping me move in the other day.
06:59I didn't wait for a response.
07:00Ducked my head like I was shy.
07:02And walked back to Jade before he could say anything.
07:04His teammates lost it immediately.
07:06Elbowing him, making noise.
07:08The way Jade looked at me shifted.
07:10There was awe in it now.
07:11It started with a housing reassignment.
07:13The dean stopped me in the hallway.
07:16We're planning to move you into Ridgewood 302 to take Lauren's place.
07:19What do you think?
07:20Lauren.
07:20The one before me had ended up in the counselor's office twice.
07:23Her roommates were bad girls, led by Jade.
07:26They had burned her head.
07:26I draw the short straw.
07:27And I don't have a choice in this?
07:30You're here on a full scholarship, one that's funded by our donors.
07:33I trust you know what's expected of you.
07:35Everyone else at this school had money or connections.
07:37I had neither.
07:38So I'm just some poor schmuck supposed to accept it, huh?
07:41I'd been fidgety all noon, unable to settle down.
07:43If I moved in, I'd end up like Lauren.
07:45Or worse.
07:46Then the back door swung open, and Chase walked in with half the lacrosse team.
07:49I watched him drop into a seat and pull out his phone.
07:51And just like that, I had an idea.
07:53Chase was the school alpha, captain of the lacrosse team.
07:55The kind of guy Jade's clique would never go after directly.
07:58If I could make it look like we were close, even just for a few days,
08:01it might be enough breathing room to figure out the rest.
08:03I walked over and set a completed problem set down in front of him.
08:06Today's homework.
08:07He didn't look up from his phone.
08:08I slid it closer.
08:09Fed up, he was about to tear it up.
08:11Only to find it had already been filled out completely.
08:13Then he finally bothered to look at me properly.
08:15The dean asked you to help me move.
08:17It wasn't exactly humiliating for him.
08:19I'd even had the sense to sweeten the deal with a finished homework set.
08:22Considerate of me, I thought.
08:24That afternoon, I walked into Ridgewood 302 with Chase carrying half my boxes.
08:29I slid the key in and pushed the door open.
08:31There was Jade, seated in the chair.
08:32A circle of bad girls flanking her.
08:34The whole scene set up like an interrogation.
08:37Stella, right?
08:38There are rules in this room.
08:40You follow mine.
08:41I'd expected exactly this.
08:42I let out a small sound and stopped in the doorway.
08:45Why'd you stop?
08:46Let's go.
08:47Chase stepped out from behind me, bags in both hands.
08:49The click went silent.
08:51What rules?
08:52Can she put her stuff on the desk or not?
08:55Jade stood up slowly.
08:58Yeah, she can.
08:59Chase dropped the boxes on the desk without ceremony.
09:02He went back for the rest, brought in my toiletries,
09:04set them in the bathroom without a word, and left.
09:06Do you want to grab dinner together?
09:08Nah.
09:08I caught up with him in the hallway.
09:10Fine then.
09:11Coach Burnett's been asking about your attendance again.
09:14Be careful.
09:14I watched his back disappear around the corner.
09:17Then I turned around, put on my best expression of lingering affection,
09:20and closed the door.
09:21The atmosphere in the room had shifted entirely.
09:23So you and Chase, what's the deal with you two?
09:25I glanced up and tucked my hair behind one ear,
09:27smiled shyly, and saying nothing.
09:29Sometimes silence was the whole answer.
09:31The bad girl's eyes instantly filled with awe.
09:33They could push around any ordinary girl.
09:35But Chase Hartley's girlfriend?
09:37I finished unpacking, moved my shampoo to the shelf closest to the door.
09:40The perfect spot.
09:42I could just stand really.
09:43Nobody said a word.
09:46A few days passed.
09:47Ridgewood 302 was quiet.
09:49Everyone was being oddly polite.
09:50Until one afternoon, I ran into Jade outside the dining hall.
09:53She was alone, which was unusual.
09:55Eating alone?
09:56Where's Chase?
09:57My stomach dropped.
09:58She was starting to wonder.
09:59Right on cue, Chase and his teammates came out of the gym across the quad.
10:02I pushed my hair back, gave my brightest smile.
10:05Practice ran late.
10:06Knowing him, he probably hasn't eaten anything.
10:09I jogged over to the vending machine by the gym entrance and grabbed a carton of chocolate milk.
10:13Then I stepped right into Chase's path and held it out.
10:17Thanks for helping me move in the other day.
10:18I didn't wait for a response.
10:20Ducked my head like I was shy.
10:21And walked back to Jade before he could say anything.
10:24His teammates lost it immediately.
10:26Elbowing him, making noise.
10:27The way Jade looked at me shifted.
10:29There was awe in it now.
10:31Does he actually drink that snuck?
10:33No idea.
10:34I like it, so I bought it.
10:35To her, I was now the girl Chase Hartley lets feed him chocolate milk.
10:39Not far off, Chase glanced at me.
10:42Then, against all reasonable expectations, he had bitten down on the straw.
10:46He was walking back toward the dorms, drinking it like this was completely normal.
10:51You're very good at keeping me out.
10:54Careful.
10:55That almost sounded like a compliment.
10:57It was a warning.
10:59To me?
10:59To Damon.
11:01Seven days before my wedding, I discovered my fiancé was already married to his brother's widow.
11:06My name is Evelyn Shaw.
11:08A week before my wedding, I flew back from London to finalize the paperwork for my marriage to Damon Pierce.
11:12The wedding planner wanted floral approvals.
11:14The venue needed final guest numbers.
11:16Whether the seating chart should read Evelyn Shaw or Evelyn Pierce's.
11:21I had stared at that question for a long time.
11:23For eight years, I had been waiting to become Mrs. Pierce.
11:28That morning, I sat across from my attorney in a private office.
11:31My attorney, Marion Vale, flipped through Damon's financial disclosures.
11:34Then her pen stopped moving.
11:36Evelyn, has Damon ever been married before?
11:39I frowned.
11:40No.
11:41Why?
11:41She turned her screen toward me.
11:43A marriage certificate filled the monitor.
11:46Damon James Pierce and Clara Marie Bennett filed 14 months ago.
11:50I stared at it until the letters blurred.
11:52Eight years.
11:53I had spent eight years building that man from nothing.
11:56His company, Pierce Digital?
11:57I funded the seed round.
11:59His penthouse on the Upper West Side?
12:00My down payment.
12:01His Porsche?
12:02His investor network?
12:03His reputation as a self-made tech genius?
12:05All of it was mine.
12:07Handed to him piece by piece while I stayed behind the scenes because he said he was not
12:11ready to go public with us.
12:13She's his late brother's widow.
12:15He told me he was just helping her with legal paperwork.
12:18My attorney's expression told me everything her words did not.
12:21I picked up my phone and called him.
12:23I said,
12:24The prenup lawyer found your marriage certificate, Damon.
12:28Two seconds of silence.
12:30Damon said,
12:31It's not what you think.
12:32Clara needed legal protection after my brother died.
12:34She has a daughter.
12:35I married her on paper so Lily could stay on my insurance and benefits.
12:39It means nothing.
12:40You've been legally married for over a year.
12:42And I would have told you eventually.
12:44You've waited eight years, Evelyn.
12:46What's a little longer?
12:48I closed my eyes.
12:52I have no interest in married men.
12:55Then I hung up.
12:56The last eight years hit me all at once.
13:02Then I called my assistant.
13:03Freeze Damon Pierce's access to everything.
13:05Black card, office credentials, building entry, parking garage.
13:08All of it.
13:08Effective immediately.
13:10Not long after, my phone started lighting up.
13:12Damon's name kept flashing across the screen until I finally answered.
13:15What the hell is wrong with you?
13:17You're acting like a child, Evelyn.
13:19I explained the situation.
13:21You explained that you committed fraud.
13:22It's not fraud.
13:23It's a favor.
13:25Clara has no one.
13:26Lily calls me dad.
13:27What was I supposed to do?
13:27Let them end up on the street?
13:28Evelyn, please don't blame Damon.
13:30Blame me.
13:30I'm the one who-
13:31Evelyn, you're going to call your assistant and restore everything.
13:33Then you're going to apologize to Clara for making her feel unwelcome.
13:36Do that and we can move past this.
13:37I looked at the prenup draft on the table in front of me.
13:40Then I picked it up and fed it into the shredder.
13:43There's nothing to move past, Damon.
13:44There's no wedding.
13:45Evelyn.
13:46You brought a wife to our wedding paperwork.
13:48I brought a witness.
13:51To start pulling every asset record with Damon Pierce's name on it.
13:55Every building.
13:56Every account.
13:57Every share.
13:58He thought he was a self-made man.
14:00He was about to find out what happens when the woman who made him decides to unmake him.
14:04The next morning, Damon's car was waiting outside my building.
14:09Now he sat at the curb in the Porsche I had paid for,
14:11looking less like a man caught in a lie than a man waiting for his fiancé to stop embarrassing him.
14:16Get in.
14:17We're going shopping.
14:18Shopping?
14:19Clara is upset.
14:20Lily is upset.
14:21You made a scene yesterday.
14:22The least you can do is help fix it.
14:24Of course.
14:25He had married another woman, lied to me for 14 months,
14:28and somehow I was the one expected to fix the mood.
14:30Don't mind.
14:31I get carsick in the back.
14:33Old Evelyn would have argued.
14:34New and felt nothing but a calm so steady it surprised even me.
14:37I slipped into the back seat because my time stamp.
14:39Let him show who he is in front of witnesses and don't stop him when he does.
14:42So I sat behind them, phone in my coat pocket,
14:44recording everything Damon still believed he could get away with.
14:48Damon took us to a luxury boutique on Madison Avenue and held the door for Clara like she was his
14:52wife.
14:53Which, legally, she was.
14:55Clara and Lily need new things for the season.
14:57You should pick something too.
14:58God knows you could use it.
14:59I had spent three years overseas building his investor pipeline.
15:02He mistook exhaustion for neglect.
15:04He looked at me like I was the embarrassing one.
15:07Damon.
15:08Clara tried on dresses.
15:10Lily twirled in a princess gown.
15:11Damon stood beside them, patient and proud.
15:14Wrap that too.
15:15Whatever Lily wants.
15:17Looses.
15:18Daisy and Shurgandall the sending quet.
15:23She had spent all afternoon pretending to be the fragile wife.
15:26But the second that dress touched my hands,
15:28she looked afraid I might outshine her.
15:33So I tried it on.
15:47Clara was checking the child who had just shoved me.
15:50It's okay, sweetheart.
15:51Nobody's going to yell at you.
15:54She's a child.
15:55Evelyn, don't make a scene.
15:57She pushed me.
15:58Keep your balance.
15:59That's not her fault.
16:02You saw what happened.
16:06Let's go.
16:07She's not worth upsetting Lily over.
16:12I changed back into my own clothes.
16:13When I stepped back out,
16:14the VIP lounge was empty.
16:16No Clara.
16:16No Lily.
16:17No Damon.
16:18Only the sales associate behind the counter,
16:20wearing the smile of someone who had already decided I was the problem.
16:22Mrs. Shaw, Mr. Pierce has left.
16:23He's charged all selected items to your personal account.
16:28I'd opened that account years ago
16:30so Damon could buy suits for investor meetings.
16:33Now he'd used it to dress the wife he'd hidden all along.
16:40I left the bill under your name.
16:41Consider it a lesson in humility.
16:43Come home when you're ready to apologize.
16:45She can't pay?
16:46Why did she act like she owned the place five minutes ago?
16:48She's just another pretender.
16:49If there's an issue with payment, Miss Shaw,
16:51we'll need to call security.
16:52And now I stood in a luxury boutique,
16:55threatened with security over a bill
16:57I could pay ten times over with my own money.
17:02Security?
17:08Mr. Mercer.
17:12Kieran Mercer.
17:13I knew the name the way a soldier knows the sound of an enemy's footsteps.
17:17Mercer Capital.
17:18Old money.
17:19Private equity royalty.
17:21Every founder in New York either wanted to impress him
17:23or prayed never to cross his path.
17:24Damon Pierce's most dangerous rival.
17:26For three years, Damon had tried to outrun him,
17:28outperform him,
17:29outrank him.
17:29For three years, I'd made it possible.
17:31I blocked Mercer's buyout offer.
17:32Clean directed messes before Kelphin's team could find them.
17:34I'd fought this man in the dark for a thousand days.
17:36And now here he was.
17:39Watching me messy, humiliated,
17:42trapped behind the bill Damon had left me.
17:44For one cold second,
17:45I thought Kieran Mercer had come to collect
17:47every war I'd ever fought for Damon.
17:56I hated that he saw it.
18:00If you're here to watch me embarrass myself, Mr. Mercer,
18:03get in line.
18:04I considered it.
18:08Were you threatening to call security on Evelyn Shaw
18:10over Damon Pierce's unpaid balance?
18:13Mr. Mercer, I was only following Mr. Pierce's instructions.
18:16This is not a payment issue.
18:18This is theft.
18:20Get your manager.
18:27What?
18:28Do you think I flew here to save Damon Pierce's face?
18:32I've spent three years trying to figure out who the real brain behind Pierce Digital is.
18:36And now I find her bleeding on a boutique floor while he buys dresses for his wife.
18:43Mrs. Shaw,
18:44I'm so sorry.
18:45I had no idea you were back in New York.
18:48Miss Shaw is one of our parent company's primary investors.
18:51Mr. Pierce's authorization was revoked hours ago.
18:54Damon Pierce,
18:54and the child walked out after charging purchases to an account they no longer had permission to use.
18:58Of course.
18:59Save the receipt, file the report, and send Mr. Pierce the copy.
19:01Of course, Miss Shaw.
19:03$178,000.
19:04Bold for a man living on borrowed power.
19:06You're Evelyn Shaw.
19:08And you're Kieran Mercer.
19:09You were very good at keeping me out.
19:12Careful.
19:13That almost sounded like a compliment.
19:15It was a warning.
19:16To me?
19:17To Damon.
19:19Me empujó al bosque.
19:20Y esa fue la segunda vez que morí por él.
19:22En mi mundo,
19:23Cersei que es un defecto.
19:24Sin lobo,
19:25no eres nada.
19:26Soy un omega,
19:27lo más bajo de la jerarquía de la manada.
19:29Sin fuerza,
19:30sin transformación,
19:31sin sanación.
19:32A un lobo normal lo apuñalan y sana en minutos.
19:34Hazme un corte de papel y sangraré por días.
19:37Pero tengo algo que nadie sabe.
19:39No veo rostros,
19:40veo almas.
19:42Celos,
19:42verde tóxico,
19:43odio,
19:44negro profundo y aceitoso.
19:45En mi vida pasada lo usé para forjar un rey.
19:48Luciano,
19:48un quinto hijo olvidado.
19:50Yo lo elegí,
19:50yo lo formé,
19:51yo lo puse en el tron.
19:52Y el día que murió mi hermana Celeste,
19:54me agarró la mandíbula tan fuerte que la oí crujir.
19:58Me obligó a tragar una tintura de acónito.
20:01Maldita ciega,
20:02sabías que nunca te quise.
20:03Celeste debió ser mía desde el principio.
20:05Y por tu culpa,
20:07terminó con Marcus.
20:08La torturaron hasta matarla.
20:09Fue tu culpa.
20:13Morí entre agonía.
20:14Le dio al cuerpo de Celeste un funeral real.
20:17Y a mí me dejó en el bosque.
20:19Pero el odio,
20:20su odio era tan devorador
20:21que me arrancó de la oscuridad.
20:24Abrí los ojos.
20:25Otra vez tenía diecisiete.
20:27La noche del baile de parejas,
20:29Lucian pasó frente a mí
20:30y tomó la mano de Celeste
20:32como si temiera que lo detuvieran.
20:33Ese bastardo también volvió.
20:35Y lo recordaba todo.
20:36Le aterraba que vuelva a elegirlo.
20:37Sinceramente me daba igual.
20:39Pasé mi mirada ciega por el fondo del salón.
20:41En un mar de almas oscuras y podridas,
20:43la vi.
20:44Un alma tan pura
20:45que brillaba como el oro líquido.
20:46El hombre en silla de ruedas,
20:48el verdadero alfa.
20:49El hijo a Celeste
20:50como mi pareja.
20:52La voz de Lucian
20:52cruzó el salón como un látigo.
20:54Ella es mi única luna.
20:55Caminó hacia mi hermana
20:56con una tornura en los ojos
20:58que yo sabía falsa.
20:59El salón quedó en silencio.
21:00Luego los murmullos
21:01me golpearon como un muro.
21:02Ningún heredero cuerdo
21:03la querría.
21:04Una humega ciega
21:05que ni puede transformarse.
21:07¡Qué ridículo!
21:08¿Por qué está aquí?
21:09Basura como ella
21:10debería estar en la cocina,
21:12no en un baile de parejas.
21:14Soy hija de un alf.
21:15Nací ciega.
21:16Cuando cumplí la edad,
21:17mi loba nunca despertó.
21:18En un mundo hecho
21:19de colmillos y garras,
21:20eso no es solo debilidad.
21:21Es una sentencia de muerte.
21:23No tener loba,
21:23eso te vuelve una burla.
21:25Mi hermana Celeste
21:26es la hija preferida.
21:27Nació con el canto de sirena.
21:29Una voz capaz de calmar
21:30hasta el alfa más violento
21:31del salón.
21:33La familia la trata
21:34como una diosa.
21:35A mí me tratan
21:36como un error sin remedio.
21:38Lucien se arrodilló
21:39frente a ella.
21:41Acepta mi marca, Celeste.
21:43Te convertiré
21:44en la mujer más poderosa.
21:46Y mientras hablaba,
21:47me lanzó una mirada.
21:48No era una disculpa,
21:50era una advertencia.
21:51Cree que esta vez
21:52puede tomar el trono sin mí.
21:54Cree que yo lo frenaba.
21:55No sabe lo que acaba de perder.
21:56Cuando maduré,
21:57no desperté una loba.
21:58Obtuve algo
21:59mucho más peligroso.
22:01El ojo del alma.
22:05Los celos son verde tóxico.
22:07El odio es negro sin fondo.
22:09El amor es rosa.
22:10Cuanto más profundo
22:11el sentimiento,
22:12más arde.
22:13En mi vida pasada
22:14lo mantuve vivo con esto.
22:15Detecté asesinos
22:16antes de que actuaran.
22:18Le dije en quién confiar,
22:19a quién matar.
22:20Esta vez,
22:21dejaré que tenga justo
22:22lo que quería.
22:23Y veré cómo entiende
22:25demasiado tarde
22:25que sin mí
22:26no es nada.
22:27Y por su bien,
22:28espero que de verdad
22:29no termine arrastrándose
22:30de vuelta a mí,
22:31suplicando una piedad
22:32que ya no tengo.
22:34Apenas Lucian
22:34hizo su anuncio,
22:35todos en el salón
22:36me miraron.
22:37Solo soy una chica ciega.
22:39No merezco
22:40un hombre como Lucian.
22:41Celeste es la mujer
22:42perfecta para él.
22:43Al menos sabes
22:44cuál es tu lugar.
22:45Él se acercó.
22:46Una omega sin loba.
22:47No te elegiría
22:48aunque fueras
22:49la única mujer viva.
22:51Ni aunque vinieras
22:52de rodillas.
22:53Mi madre Marilyn
22:54hizo un sonido a mi lado.
22:56Una inhalación brusca,
22:57como si fuera
22:57a decir algo indebido.
22:58Le apreté la mano.
22:59Ella guardó silencio.
23:00Recorrí el salón
23:01con mi ojo del alma.
23:02Marcos, carbón turbio,
23:04cruel bajo la superficie.
23:06Los otros herederos,
23:07remolinos de codicia
23:08y deseo.
23:09En mi vida pasada
23:09elegí a Lucian
23:10porque su alma
23:11parecía la más limpia
23:12del salón.
23:13Era una máscara.
23:14No vi lo que había
23:15debajo
23:15hasta el día
23:16en que me mató.
23:17Un púrpura negro
23:18profundo y podrido.
23:19No solo odiaba
23:20lo que yo era,
23:21me odiaba a mí.
23:22En mi vida pasada
23:23fui ciega
23:23en más de un sentido.
23:24Nunca más.
23:25Celeste se deslizó
23:26hacia mí
23:26con el rostro
23:27convertido
23:27en la perfecta
23:28hermana mayor amorosa.
23:29No estés triste.
23:31Adelante,
23:31te dejaré quedarte
23:32con quien quieras.
23:33Su alma hervía
23:34en verde tóxico
23:35de punta a punta.
23:36Celos puros.
23:37Apenas mantenía su forma.
23:39Como nadie va
23:40a reclamarte,
23:42puedes rogarme
23:42por trabajo.
23:43Celeste necesita
23:44una criada.
23:45Una omega sin loba
23:47solo sirve
23:47para limpiar pisos.
23:49Ni parpadeé,
23:50ni me molesté.
23:51Ninguno merecía
23:51mi energía.
23:52Entonces,
23:53el sonido de ruedas.
23:54El murmullo murió.
23:55Luego el salón cambió.
23:58Kyle Ravencroft
23:59había llegado
23:59sin invitación,
24:00sin aviso
24:01y totalmente
24:02indiferente al espectáculo.
24:04Estaba en esa silla
24:04de ruedas
24:05como un depredador
24:06en reposo.
24:07Y entonces lo vi.
24:08Se me cortó
24:09la respiración.
24:09Su alma era dorada,
24:11pura y brillante.
24:12Un oro cegador.
24:13La marca
24:14de la diosa de la luna.
24:15La marca
24:16de un verdadero rey.
24:19Me empujó
24:20al bosque
24:21y esa fue
24:22la segunda vez
24:22que morí por él.
24:23En mi mundo,
24:24ser ciega
24:25es un defecto.

24:33A un lobo normal
24:34lo apuñalan
24:34y sana en minutos.
24:35Hazme un corte de papel
24:36y sangraré por días,
24:38pero tengo algo
24:38que nadie sabe.
24:40No veo rostros,
24:41veo almas.
24:43Celos,
24:43verde tóxico,
24:44odio,
24:45negro profundo
24:45y aceitoso.
24:46En mi vida pasada

25:47El hombre en silla

29:32sin transformación,
29:33sin sanación.
29:34A un lobo normal
29:35lo apuñalan
29:35y sana en minutos.
29:36Hazme un corte de papel
29:37y sangraré por días,
29:39pero tengo algo
29:39que nadie sabe.
29:41No veo rostros,
29:42veo almas.
29:44Celos,
29:44verde tóxico,
29:45odio,
29:46negro profundo
29:46y aceitoso.
29:47En mi vida pasada
29:48lo usé para forjar
29:49un rey.
29:50Lucian,
29:50un quinto hijo olvidado.
29:52Yo lo elegí,
29:52yo lo formé,
29:53yo lo puse en el tron
29:54y el día que murió
29:55mi hermana Celeste
29:56me agarró la mandíbula
29:57tan fuerte
29:57que la oí crujir.
30:00Me obligó a tragar
30:01una tintura de acónito.
30:03Maldita ciega,
30:04sabías que nunca te quise.
30:05Celeste debió ser mía
30:06desde el principio
30:07y por tu culpa
30:08terminó con Marcus.
30:10La torturaron
30:11hasta matarla.
30:11Fue tu culpa.
30:15Morí entre agonía.
30:16Le dio al cuerpo
30:17de Celeste
30:18un funeral real
30:18y a mí me dejó
30:20en el bosque.
30:21Pero el odio,
30:22su odio,
30:22era tan devorador
30:23que me arrancó
30:24de la oscuridad.
30:26Abrí los ojos,
30:27otra vez tenía 17.
30:29La noche del baile
30:30de parejas,
30:31Lucian pasó
30:32frente a mí
30:32y tomó la mano
30:33de Celeste
30:34como si temiera
30:34que lo detuvieran.
30:35Ese bastardo
30:36también volvió
30:37y lo recordaba todo.
30:38Le aterraba
30:38que vuelva a elegirlo.
30:39Sinceramente,
30:40me daba igual.
30:41Pasé mi mirada ciega
30:42por el fondo del salón.
30:43En un mar de almas
30:44oscuras y podridas
30:45la vi,
30:46un alma tan pura
30:47que brillaba
30:47como el oro líquido,
30:49el hombre en silla
30:49de ruedas,
30:50el verdadero alfa.
30:51Elijo a Celeste
30:52como mi pareja.
30:54La voz de Lucian
30:54cruzó el salón
30:55como un látigo.
30:56Ella es mi única luna.
30:57Caminó hacia mi hermana
30:58con una tornura
30:59en los ojos
31:00que yo sabía falsa.
31:01El salón quedó
31:01en silencio,
31:02luego los murmullos
31:03me golpearon
31:04como un muro.
31:04Ningún heredero
31:05cuerdo la querría.
31:06Una omega ciega
31:07que ni puede transformarse.
31:09¡Qué ridículo!
31:10¿Por qué está aquí?
31:11Basura como ella
31:12debería estar en la cocina,
31:14no en un baile
31:15de parejas.
31:15Soy hija de un alfa.
31:17Nací ciega.
31:18Cuando cumplí la edad,
31:19mi loba nunca despertó.
31:20En un mundo hecho
31:21de colmillos y garras,
31:22eso no es solo debilidad,
31:23es una sentencia de muerte.
31:25No tener loba,
31:25eso te vuelve una burla.
31:27Mi hermana Celeste
31:28es la hija preferida.
31:29Nació con el canto
31:30de sirena.
31:31Una voz capaz
31:32de calmar
31:32hasta el alfa
31:33más violento del salón.
31:35La familia
31:36la trata como una diosa.
31:37A mí me tratan
31:38como un error
31:39sin remedio.
31:40Lucian se arrodilló
31:41frente a ella.
31:43Acepta mi marca,
31:44Celeste.
31:45Te convertiré
31:46en la mujer
31:47más poderosa.
31:48Y mientras hablaba,
31:49me lanzó una mirada.
31:50No era una disculpa,
31:52era una advertencia.
31:53Cree que esta vez
31:54puede tomar el trono
31:55sin mí.
31:56Cree que yo lo frenaba.
31:57No sabe lo que acaba
31:58de perder.
31:58Cuando maduré,
31:59no desperté una loba.
32:00Obtuve algo
32:01mucho más peligroso.
32:03El ojo del alma.
32:07Los celos son verde tóxico.
32:09El odio es negro sin fondo.
32:11El amor es rosa.
32:12Cuanto más profundo
32:13el sentimiento
32:14más arde.
32:15En mi vida pasada
32:16lo mantuve vivo con esto.
32:17Detecté asesinos
32:18antes de que actuaran.
32:20Le dije en quién confiar,
32:21a quién matar.
32:22Esta vez,
32:23dejaré que tenga
32:24justo lo que quería
32:25y veré cómo entiende
32:27demasiado tarde
32:27que sin mí
32:28no es nada.
32:29Y por su bien,
32:30espero que de verdad
32:31no termine arrastrándose
32:32de vuelta a mí,
32:33suplicando una piedad
32:34que ya no tengo.
32:36Apenas Lucian
32:36hizo su anuncio,
32:37todos en el salón
32:38me miraron.
32:39Solo soy una chica ciega.
32:41No merezco
32:42un hombre como Lucian.
32:43Celeste es la mujer
32:44perfecta para él.
32:45Al menos sabes
32:46cuál es tu lugar.
32:47Él se acercó.
32:48Una omega sin loba.
32:49No te elegiría
32:50aunque fueras
32:51la única mujer viva.
32:53Ni aunque vinieras
32:54de rodillas.
32:55Mi madre Marilyn
32:56hizo un sonido a mi lado,
32:58una inhalación brusca,
32:59como si fuera
32:59a decir algo indebido.
33:00Le apreté la mano.
33:01Ella guardó silencio.
33:02Recorrí el salón
33:03con mi ojo del alma.
33:04Marcus,
33:05carbón turbio,
33:06cruel bajo la superficie.
33:08Los otros herederos,
33:09remolinos de codicia
33:10y deseo.
33:11En mi vida pasada
33:11elegí a Lucian
33:12porque su alma
33:13parecía la más limpia
33:14del salón.
33:15Era una máscara.
33:16No vi lo que había debajo
33:17hasta el día
33:18en que me mató.
33:19Un púrpura negro
33:20profundo y podrido.
33:21No solo odiaba
33:22lo que yo era,
33:23me odiaba a mí.
33:24En mi vida pasada
33:25fui ciega
33:25en más de un sentido.
33:26Nunca más.
33:27Celeste se deslizó
33:28hacia mí
33:28con el rostro
33:29convertido en la perfecta
33:30hermana mayor amorosa.
33:31No estés triste.
33:33Adelante.
33:33Te dejaré quedarte
33:34con quien quieras.
33:35Su alma hervía
33:36en verde tóxico
33:37de punta a punta.
33:38Celos puros.
33:39Apenas mantenía su forma.
33:41Como nadie va
33:43a reclamarte,
33:44puedes rogarme por trabajo.
33:45Celeste necesita
33:46una criada.
33:47Una omega sin loba
33:49solo sirve
33:49para limpiar pisos.
33:50Ni parpadeé,
33:52ni me molesté.
33:52Ninguno merecía
33:53mi energía.
33:54Entonces,
33:55el sonido de ruedas.
33:56El murmullo murió.
33:57Luego el salón cambió.
34:00Kyle Ravencroft
34:01había llegado
34:01sin invitación,
34:02sin aviso
34:03y totalmente indiferente
34:05al espectáculo.
34:06Estaba en esa silla
34:06de ruedas
34:07como un depredador
34:08en reposo.
34:09Y entonces lo vi.
34:10Se me cortó
34:11la respiración.
34:11Su alma era dorada,
34:13pura y brillante.
34:14Un oro cegador.
34:15La marca
34:16de la diosa de la luna.
34:17La marca
34:18de un verdadero rey.
34:22Me empujó al bosque
34:23y esa fue la segunda vez
34:24que morí por él.
34:25En mi mundo,
34:26ser ciega es un defecto.
34:27Sin lobo,
34:28no eres nada.
34:29Soy un omega,
34:30lo más bajo
34:30de la jerarquía
34:31de la manada.
34:32Sin fuerza,
34:33sin transformación,
34:34sin sanación.
34:35A un lobo normal
34:36lo apuñalan
34:36y sana en minutos.

34:51Luciano,

40:54Estaba en esa silla
40:55de ruedas
40:56como un depredador
40:57en reposo.
40:58Y entonces lo vi.
40:59Se me cortó
40:59la respiración.
41:00Su alma era dorada,
41:01pura y brillante.
41:03Un oro cegador.
41:04La marca
41:04de la diosa de la luna.
41:06La marca
41:06de un verdadero rey.
