"I'm going to ruin you, Elijah," I whispered, trailing my fingers down his scarred chest as I felt him shudder. Elijah has spent years building walls around himself but Aria ignites something primal inside him that he can't fight. He doesn't do soft and he doesn't do mercy, but with Aria's reckless attempts at breaking him, his years of control shatters. Elijah meant to break her. He meant to show her why he's the most feared wolf in the pack, but in the heat of her gaze, he realizes he isn't the one doing the ruining. She is.

She thought she'd never be the girl who fell first. He made it impossible not to. The first time Kavya met Aarav, she didn't think much of him. But with his terrible jokes, endless patience, and a smile that somehow survived every eye roll she threw at him, he became impossible to ignore. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't seem to scare him away. He blushed when she got too close, lost his train of thought when she touched him, and looked at her like she was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. For the first time in her life, Kavya found herself wanting something she'd never planned for. She wanted to flirt, to hold his hand, to make him blush, see him smile just to see those dimples appear. And most dangerously of all...she wanted to be the reason he smiled. Because if Aarav was ever going to belong anywhere, Kavya was starting to think it should be with her.
