"No, princess I cannot let you even touch him. I cannot even bear his lifeless body experiencing the touch of you. He, who is a mere mortal and for him you have forsaken these heavenly pleasures of fairyland. And from all you left me, I forbid it. I will cut his body into several pieces that his soul will be terrorized with mere mention of my name."

Highest ranking: #1 in teen fiction. I though I knew Archer McCarty. The controlling, stubborn bad boy who always try and get his way, the bully who made my childhood days waste away. The guy who grew up to be hot as hell. That was why I agree to play the game, for revenge. I wasn't prepared to see a whole different side of him. He is overwhelming and possessive. He goes all caveman when another guy so much as breathe in my direction. He let me break his defense. The tables are turned and I see everything in his view. It seems to make more sense. I wasn't expecting to fall for him by unraveling him but it was easy. I don't know how to tell him that all of these started with that game. Do I even want to? [WARNING: PG-13 Some scenes may be inappropriate for younger crowds. If you are not a fan of over the top possessive hero. This is not the book for you]

After all, how could I forget my first love: the boy who left me and ignored me years ago. The boy who was not as he seemed. The Alpha who was unbreakable...yet I broke him.
