In a world where light and darkness are locked in an endless battle, love becomes the most dangerous secret of all.
"You don't know what you're doing," Serena whispered, backing into the shadows. "If they find out what I am... what we are... they'll tear you apart."
Draco stepped forward, his voice low and rough. "Let them try. I'd rip apart the whole world if it meant keeping you."
"You're a wolf," she said, trembling. "I'm a vampire. We were born to destroy each other."
"Then why does my soul only calm when I'm near you?" he growled, reaching for her hand. "Why does your scent haunt me? Why does your voice sound like something I've been aching to remember my whole life?"
"Because you're cursed," she breathed. "And I'm the curse."
"No," Draco said, his eyes glowing faintly in the dark. "You're the reason I was born. My mate. My obsession. My ruin-and I will gladly burn in that ruin."
Draco, a young werewolf, was never meant to find his mate before his awakening. But when he meets Serena, something deep within him stirs-something certain she's the one.
Serena, a vampire hiding in plain sight, has spent years trying to blend into a world that hates her kind. The last thing she expected was for a werewolf to claim her as his mate. She knows getting close to Draco could ruin everything she's worked for, but his determination begins to shake the walls she built around her heart.
As secrets unravel and hidden enemies rise, the bond between them will be tested by loyalty, fear, and the truth about who they really are.
