Having been blessed by wonderful parents, a few years of her growth were enough to mold such a beauty. Her once-perfect life ended with her parents' deaths during the rogues' invasion. Not long after, she was adopted by an abusive foster family, and not once did she trigger the thought of killing their ungrateful soul. Her mate, her last resort to a wonderful life, was supposed to cherish her. All her hopes crumbled into pieces when he did something a mate shouldn't. He did not want her. Neglected, cheated, and abused. She experienced more than she ever could and felt more pain because of him. Because she loved him and was willing to endure it all. But Zainne also has her limits and has awoken from the delusion she used to believe in. When she was gone, Devan realized his feelings for her. He was far too late.
