He was supposed to be her nightmare. Instead, he became her only refuge. Nuvia Armand has always been the forgotten child-overshadowed by her perfect siblings, ignored by her parents, and made to feel like nothing. When her family forces her into a marriage she never wanted, she expects more cruelty, more silence, more pain. But Cassian De Luca isn't like anyone else. Ruthless. Cold. A man whispered about in fear. To the world, he is untouchable-a monster in a tailored suit. To her, he is something far more dangerous. Protective. Possessive. Obsessively devoted. Bound together by a marriage of power and secrets, Nuvia finds herself caught between terror and desire. And Cassian-dark, relentless Cassian-will burn the world to the ground before he lets her go.

"You're mine. It doesn't matter where you come from." His hand grips my wrist, stopping me. "You know it matters." I turn away, hiding the moisture in my eyes. I can't cry. "Eliana please! Look at me!" He tugs me back into his arms, tightly embracing me. "I won't let you leave. You belong with me." ***** Eliana was content with her lifestyle, as her pack's slave. Horrible, but it was all she had ever known. There was nothing better to compare it to. Alpha Noah keeps his distance with everyone and although head of one of the strongest packs in the nation, his past haunts him. Things like love and friendships are unknown to him. Unimportant. She's hurt and so is he. What happens when mates with such different views on life and experiences, meet? Will a connection spark? Or will the fuse fail to light? And when the lurking past faces them again, what will they do? *** A puppy love kind of story that's full of passion, ig. Not your usual werewolf book.
