J'ai eu une relation secrète avec Alex Thomas pendant cinq ans et je l'ai séduit d'innombrables fois. Même quand je me suis tenue nue devant lui, avec des oreilles de lapin sur la tête, il m'a simplement couverte d'une couverture de peur que j'aie froid. J'ai cru que c'était la retenue d'un chef de la mafia, qu'il voulait garder notre première fois pour la nuit du mariage, mais un mois avant la cérémonie, il a secrètement organisé le plus grand feu d'artifice de la ville pour fêter l'anniversaire de son amie d'enfance. Ils se sont enlacés devant tout le monde, ont mangé le gâteau ensemble, puis sont entrés dans un hôtel pour couples. Quand je les ai vus quitter l'hôtel ensemble le lendemain matin, j'ai compris qu'Alex n'était pas réservé ni froid, il ne m'aimait tout simplement pas. En sortant de l'hôtel, j'ai appelé mes parents : « Papa, Alex et moi, nous nous sommes séparés. J'accepte d'épouser le fils de la famille des Laurent. » Mon père a été stupéfait : « Mais tu ne l'aimais pas à la folie, Alex ? Comment avez-vous pu rompre ? » « J'ai entendu dire que le fils de la famille des Laurent ne pouvait pas avoir d'enfants… Toi qui aimes tant les enfants, comment feras-tu sans les tiens ? » J'ai répondu d'une voix lasse : « Ce n'est pas grave… je pourrai en adopter beaucoup. »

"Little bunny, little bunny. Wolf is HUNGRY!" The voice taunted me, followed by an evil cackle. * "Run, rabbit. RUN!"

The echoes of howls and laughter followed me from behind as I ran for my life. ** Elisabeth's life had been harder than most since she was a child--a distant and often cruel mother and her never-ending cycle of addiction that had taken over her life. But on this fateful night, something far more sinister was lurking in the darkness, ready to take her away from it all. Massive figures appeared out of nowhere, growling and taunting her. She tried to scream, but nothing would come out; before she knew it, she was waking up in a world where Viking werewolves ruled with mysterious faeries at their side. Every five years, they traveled to the human realm, collecting ten girls for their mate run--and tonight, Elisabeth was one of them. With only a white dress and her bare feet, Elisabeth stood beside the other nine girls as the beasts prowled around them menacingly. A silver dagger pierced each of our wrists, signaling the start of the hunt! “We honor the moon goddess; let your blood lead your mate to you!”
