Chapter 6

— Mónica, despierta.

— ¿Qué pasa? ¿Qué hora es? — dice la somnolienta morena.

— Es temprano, solo quiero decirte que volveré el lunes, no te preocupes por mí, ¿ok?

— Mmm, ok, cierra la puerta y déjame una nota, todavía estoy dormida, no sé si recordaré esta charla.

— Eres increíble.

La morena con la que vivía, simplemente se dio la vuelta y continuó durmiendo. Tomé mi mochila, la cual siempre tenía preparada por si debía escapar, aun estando casi en el fin del mundo tenía miedo de que Manuel, alias el cuervo, o alguien de su cartel me encontrara, me detuve en ese pensamiento. MALDITO CUERVO, CUANDO TE PIENSAS MORIR, PARA QUE YO PUEDA VIVIR EN PAZ.

Salí lo más rápido que pude luego de dejarle una nota a mi compañera.

— ¿Vamos? — pregunto con una sonrisa en mi rostro y es que solo me basta verlo para sonreír.

— Eso fue rápido. — Solo sonreí, y el hizo mismo, dejándome totalmente encandilada, con esa sonrisa de dientes blancos y perfectos, era hermoso y eso que he visto a hombres bellos en mi vida.

— ¿Estas lista? te aseguró que ahora comienza la aventura de tu vida.

— Ya lo creó.

Fue todo lo que pude decir, y no sé porque demonios me sonroje, algo me dice que está en lo cierto, esta será la aventura de mi vida.

Leonardo:

Se ve totalmente hermosa, con su cabello suelto, es extremadamente largo, aunque ahora su rostro tiene un deje de tristeza, me pregunto hace cuánto no ve a su familia, me siento responsable, por hacerla recordar la distancia que los separa, quizás si todo sale como tengo pensado, realicemos un viaje a México, me gustaría recibir la aprobación de sus padres.

Dios, estoy hablando de aprobación de sus padres cuando ni siquiera le eh propuesto nada a ella.

— Bienvenida a la estancia León. — Le anuncio ni bien pasamos la tranquera de entrada, sus ojos adquieren un brillo de picardía.

— ¿León? Cuanta humildad. — lo dice con burla, pero lejos de enfadarme me hace reír a carcajadas. Si se está burlando, bien, mientras ella este alegre, no me molesta.

— No sé me ocurrió otro nombre, aunque quizás lo cambie por estancia el Hada. ¿Qué te párese?

— Me gusta, pero tal vez deberías preguntarle a tu novia si le gusta. — En ese momento me congele, no quería mentirle, pero ¿cómo explicar todo lo referente a ese tema? llevaría tiempo, no se lo podía decir ahora.

— ¿Que te hace pensar que tengo novia? — pregunto con cautela.

— Tú alianza. — hace tantos años que la llevo que la había olvidado, ya que para mí no significa nada.

— Eso tiene una explicación, pero ahora déjame mostrarte tu hogar, por lo menos durante los próximos días. — Y por el resto de tu vida, si es que me aceptas. Dios, jamás traté de enamorar a alguien no sé qué hacer, le di un pequeño recorrido por la estancia, luego de mostrarle su habitación.

El caminar a su lado me permite perderme en su aroma, estoy seguro de que no usa ningún perfume, es solo el aroma de su piel, huele a vainilla y coco, un aroma tropical, como si lo llevara en su sangre.

— ¿Pasa algo?

— Disculpa, tu aroma me distrae, hueles de maravilla. — Le dije la verdad sin pensarlo, y lo único que espero es que no lo tome a mal.

— Lo dices como si fueras a comerme. — Ella solo ríe ante su idea, esos labios cada vez que se curvan deja ver una belleza y simetría en su cara como nunca había visto. Me tiene a sus pies. Mi hermosa hada.

— Quizás, esa es mi intención, poder comer un poco de ti, y así saber si eres real o una hermosa ilusión ante mi desesperación, por encontrar a la mujer perfecta. — La cara de asombro no se hace de esperar, pero se recompone rápidamente.

— Será mejor que dejes de decir esas cosas o terminare creyendo en ti, cuando la verdad es que le perteneces a otra. — la cierta nota de tristeza en su voz me alienta a hablar y tratar de explicarle lo patético de mi situación.

— Solo por un capricho estúpido de mis padres es que estoy comprometido, nada que no se pueda arreglar.

— ¿Acaso estas diciendo que tus padres te consiguieron novia?

— No, novia no, una prometida que es peor, pero hasta anoche… nunca sentí la necesidad de oponerme realmente a sus deseos, pero ahora que te conozco, solo quiero tomarte en mis brazos y gritarle al mundo entero que por primera vez en 28 años me enamoré. — bien lo dije y seguro que ahora saldrá corriendo.

— No hablas enserio nadie se enamora de pronto, sin conocer a la otra persona, saber su pasado o sus planes para el futuro.

Podía ver como mis palabras no la asustaban, ni la enfadaba, ella solo me miraba con un brillo de anhelo en sus ojos, el cual tomé como una invitación a seguir, a mostrarle mi corazón, y para que sepa que en el solo estaba ella.

She was never meant to be ordinary. From the moment she was born, every whisper of the wind and every flicker of the fire in her eyes foretold that she would be the first female Alpha in her pack's long history. A leader not only strong in body but unshakable in spirit. She grew up knowing that her path was destined to be great an Alpha who would lead her people with pride, protect her territory with honor, and carry the weight of her pack on her shoulders without faltering. She was strong. She was untouchable. She was unbroken. But destiny has a cruel way of testing the ones it favors most. On the night before her eighteenth birthday the sacred day when her wolf would finally awaken and her true power would rise her world was shattered beyond recognition. Under the pale glow of the moon, what should have been her moment of hope and transformation became a night of betrayal and violation. Scarred in both body and soul, she was torn apart by someone she thought was nothing more than a passing stranger, a mere human. A man whose face haunted her dreams and whose touch carved fire into her skin. But the truth is darker than she ever imagined. Her attacker was no ordinary human at all. He carried within him the blood of legends. He was the last heir of the royal Bloodline Pack a lineage older, stronger, and more feared than any other. His identity had been hidden by an ancient spell, a witch's craft woven so carefully that no wolf could scent what he truly was until the veil was lifted. And the veil was only meant to fall when the rightful heir was ready to claim his throne. That night, under the cursed moonlight, his secret was revealed. Now, bound to him by a fate she cannot escape, her scar is more than just a reminder of her pain. It is a mark of destiny, tying her to the one wolf she should hate most the Alpha Prince who broke her. But fate is crueler still, for her choice is not simple.

The world around her teeters on the edge of chaos, and the burden of her choice grows heavier with every heartbeat. 🔥 If she rejects him, if she clings to her rage and allows her hatred to fester, she might break the bond. She might free herself from the mate who stole her innocence and scarred her under the moon. But the cost will be devastating. The packs will fracture. War will rise. And the ones she loves the ones she has sworn to protect will stand unshielded in the storm. 🔥 Yet if she surrenders, if she dares to yield to the bond she never asked for, she will be choosing the very wolf who destroyed her. To stand beside him as his mate, to embrace the Alpha Prince as her protector, means to accept the weight of his crown and his scars. It means sacrificing her revenge for the sake of safety, for the sake of the pack, for the sake of what she holds most dear. Under the moonlight, scars burn. They ache. They whisper of a night that should never have been. But love or revenge burns hotter. And in the end, she must decide which fire will consume her. Will she rise as the Alpha she was destined to be, or will fate's cruel hand twist her story into something darker? Only the moon knows. Only her heart can choose.
