الملخص

مزّق عقد الزواج على مرأى من الجميع—ثم دسّ خاتم القمر في إصبعي عوضاً عنه. كنتُ مجرد بديلة، العروس المنبوذة التي لم يرغب بها أحد. غير أن كايل ميرسر، وريث الذئاب الذي يهابه القاصي والداني، شقّ بنظراته الجموع ونطق باسمي وكأنه الاسم الوحيد ذو القيمة في هذا العالم. لم أقتحم ذلك الحفل إلا لأسترد تركيبة عطر أمي المسلوبة؛ فالأصل أن تُزفّ أختي من أبي إلى ذلك الوحش. لكن ما إن أُحكم خاتم كايل حول إصبعي، حتى سَرَت في عروقي تلك الشرارة—جذبة مباغتة، وحرارة طاغية، وهدوء غريب ألجم ذئبه ما إن لمسني. هو لا يحبني، بل يحتاجني؛ فمن دون دمي يفقد زمام السيطرة، ومن دون حمايته لن أعرف أبداً من قتل أمي. لذا فعلتُ ما لم يتوقعه مخلوق: قلبتُ بنود العقد رأساً على عقب. والآن، أصبح وريث الألفا يعمل لحسابي... وإلا خسرنا كل شيء معاً. ولكن حين يدق الكسوف القادم وتستبد به غريزة الوحش، هل سأظل الممسكة بزمام أمره—أم سأنتهي طريحةً تحته، أرجو رحمةً لن أنالها قط؟

  • Highlight · Ch. 2: “"It will be." He turned, and I saw the line of his shoulders under the tailored jacket. Tight. Controlled. Like he was holding something back. "The council executes unstable heirs. No bride means no anchor. No anchor means I'm a liability."”
