Lyra, the Ice Princess of Ice Kingdom, was never meant to fall in love. Especially not with a stranger she was forced to marry. On the morning of her wedding, her unseen fiancé is found dead - and before she can even breathe, she is stolen away by the one man she's always been warned about: the Fire Prince. Dangerous. Obsessive. Unhinged. She runs. He chases. She hurts him. He smiles. And no matter how many times she escapes, he always finds her - whispering the same, terrifying promise into her ear: "You can freeze me, break me, hate me... but you'll never get rid of me. You're mine, Lyra."

Original title: No matter what Cali, a girl who wants to be free from everything and Sylus the boy who will make her feel that she is already free. Aubrey Calixtra Moriarty has lived her life in a gilded cage, every move dictated, every breath controlled. Until her birthday, when she vanished. Seeking refuge in her best friend's apartment, she thought she'd finally found freedom. But fate, it seems, has a wicked sense of humor. She's sharing her sanctuary with him. Sylus. A stranger, yet familiar. Her best friend's cousin. The sun to her moon. He's a blinding light, loud and unapologetically bright. She's a whisper in the shadows, shy and achingly awkward. Will their worlds collide, igniting a spark that sets them both free? Or will they remain strangers under the same roof, bound by a secret neither dares to confront? "I'll always be by your side, no matter what." -Sylus. -- If you're looking for a perfect story, sorry to say this but my story is full of imperfections and flaws.
