—Lo siento, Cloe. ¡Realmente tengo una emergencia! Después de diez años de relación, mi pareja, el Alfa Aiden Rothschild, puso una nueva excusa diciendo que tenía que resolver asuntos de la manada y se marchó a mitad de nuestra cena a la luz de las velas. Horas más tarde, vi una publicación de Lana, el amor de juventud de Aiden, en las redes sociales. En la foto, Aiden le sostenía el pie con delicadeza. «Me torcí el tobillo mientras limpiaba el techo, y, aunque mejoró rápidamente, Aiden vino corriendo en cuanto se enteró. Siempre estás ahí cuando te necesito, sin importar qué. ¡Definitivamente, soy la mujer más afortunada!» En el pasado, sin lugar a dudas, lo habría confrontado Aiden con furia, solo para que me regañara por ser irracional. Sin embargo, esta vez terminé mi comida en silencio, completamente entumecida. Le había prometido a mi mentora que pronto partiría para una misión de sanación en un lugar apartado del Territorio del Norte. Cuando subí al coche para abandonar la manada e intenté despedirme de Aiden por última vez, recibí un video de Lana, en el que aparecían Aiden y ella jugando a Verdad o Reto, llamándose «bebé» el uno al otro. Me sequé las lágrimas y simplemente respondí: «No te preocupes. Diviértanse esta noche.» Sin embargo, Aiden entró en pánico, y tenía los ojos rojos cuando me envió un mensaje: «Cloe, ¿por qué no te enfadas después de ver eso? ¿¡Acaso ya no me amas!?» Luego, intentó confrontarme en persona, solo para darse cuenta de que no podía encontrarme por ninguna parte. Ese día, se derrumbó por completo.

La exnovia de mi ahora novio, Santiago, Isabella publicó un video en sus redes sociales. En el video, se les veía como mi novio y ella estaban jugando a pasarse una carta de poker con los labios. La carta cayó, y sus labios se rosaron, comenzando un beso apasionado a lo que se apartó la grabación de la escena. El pie de foto decía: —¡Sigues igual de torpe! Yo estaba mirando semejante canallada desde el hospital, estaba pasando mucho dolor por que al parecer había tenido un aborto espontaneo. Sin decir nada, le di me gusta y comenté: —Felicidades a ambos. Al instante, Santiago me llamó y empezó a gritarme por celular. — ¿No me digas que vas a comenzar con tus escándalos de mierda? ¡Solo nos estábamos distrayendo un poco con Isabela! ¿Ya que video te vas a poner a inventar? Sabía que, después de doce años de relación, todo lo que había compartido con él era solo una ilusión. Yo no iba a soportar que alguien me engañara, no más. Era pues entonces hora de agarrar mis chiros y marcharme.

El día de mi boda, Nelson —mi prometido— canceló todo de repente. ¿La razón? Un simple post de Gloria en redes, anunciando que había regresado al país. Nelson dejó caer al suelo los anillos que él mismo había diseñado... y se fue sin decir una sola palabra. Me quedé ahí, vestida de blanco, sin saber qué hacer, ni qué sentir. Incluso mi hermano, que hasta ese momento me sostenía de la mano, me miró con tristeza y dijo en voz baja: —Ivana, tú siempre has sido fuerte. Sé que puedes con esto. Ahora... Gloria me necesita más que tú. Dicho esto, también se fue. Los dos... por la misma mujer. Me dejaron sola, parada frente a todos, tragándome las lágrimas y el orgullo. Esa noche, después de lidiar con todo lo que quedó de esa boda fallida, recibí una foto de Gloria. En la imagen, Nelson y mi hermano estaban sentados junto a su cama. En su cuello llevaba el collar que Nelson había hecho para mí. Y, sobre su cuerpo... el vestido que mi hermano había diseñado especialmente para mí. Todo... era mío. Y en ese instante, lo entendí: ya no tenía sentido seguir aferrándome a nada. Con los ojos llenos de lágrimas, marqué un número. —Papá, mamá… cambié de opinión. Quiero volver a casa.

He was arrogant, mysterious, cold, and hostile, but also handsome and manly, with a thick voice that played havoc with my sanity, and gray eyes that consumed me like fire. And, although he was the most stoic and indecipherable man I had ever met in my life, with an eternal scowl and an arrogance that exceeded the limits of reason, I felt a powerful and incomprehensible attraction for him. From the moment I met him, I knew he was a force of nature from whom I had to flee for refuge. Although I didn't think I was at risk, he showed no interest in me until he made me a dangerous proposition from which, he believed, we would both benefit. "I've seen how she reacts when I touch her, the changes in her breathing, the way she blushes when I whisper phrases in her ear... there's chemistry between the two of us; it's undeniable," he expounded petulantly, and I wanted to refute him, but I had no solidity. And, the more he talked, the more my reasoning began to waver. What he was offering me was far-fetched, but I had force majeure reasons that made me hesitate. So what do I do? Do I take the deal and solve my problems, or do I maintain my dignity and say no?
