Mein ganzes Leben lang war ich die Ersatztochter. Meine Schwester Beatrice bekam alles – Liebe, Aufmerksamkeit, die Goldkind-Behandlung. Ich bekam Reste und Erinnerungen daran, dass ich nicht gut genug war. Bis ich entdeckte, dass Niall, der gutaussehende Alpha aus dem Nachbarrudel, mein Schicksalsgefährte war. Endlich war ich an der Reihe, auserwählt zu werden. Gott, ich war naiv. Vier Jahre Verlobungshölle. Ich bleichte meine Haare, um seinem Geschmack zu entsprechen. Zwängte mich in enge Kleider, spielte seine persönliche Dienerin – nur um zu hören, dass ich eine bessere Dienerin als Gefährtin abgeben würde. Alles, weil sein Herz meiner Schwester gehörte. In jener Nacht stieß ich versehentlich ihren Bilderrahmen um. Er ohrfeigte mich. Hart. Sagte, ich würde ihr nie das Wasser reichen können. Also ohrfeigte ich ihn zurück, zerriss ihr Foto und akzeptierte die Ablehnung. Ich dachte, es wäre vorbei. Bis ich sie im Club erwischte, lachend darüber, wie erbärmlich meine vier Jahre des Versuchens gewesen waren. Die ganze Verlobung war ihr krankes Spiel. Betrunken und wütend tat ich etwas Unbedachtes mit meinem mysteriösen Nachbarn. Alpha Hudson – Gesicht von Göttern gemeißelt, Gefahr in jeder perfekt geschneiderten Linie. Am wichtigsten, er ist der Erzfeind meines Ex. Und? Bester Sex meines Lebens. Ich dachte, es wäre ein One-Night-Stand zum Vergessen. Wieder falsch. Er ist reicher als Niall, mächtiger als meine Familie und unendlich gefährlicher. Und er lässt mich nicht gehen. Diesmal werde ich niemandes zweite Wahl sein.

Energy-Substrate Scaling is a unified theory of complexity. The law states that complex systems rise by discovering energy accounts, flourish by spending them, and fall when the balance diminishes, with the height of their flourish determined by the size of the accessible account. Energy-Substrate Scaling: A Unified Theory of Complexity Core Axiom: The scope, structure, and lifespan of any complex system are dictated by the characteristics of the energy substrate it can access and exploit. This is not merely a theory of resource use. It is a theory of metabolic fate. It posits that the story of any complex structure, from a bacterium to a civilization to a star, is prefigured in the relationship between its hunger for order and the fund of useful energy it can consume.
