Kessiya Saju is twenty three, educated and employed by one of the biggest technology companies in the world. She is beautiful, intelligent and headstrong. She is also Indian, meaning that the next most important stage in her life (according to her parents) is marriage. Unfortunately for Kessiya's parents, she has absolutely no interest in boys as she is too busy planning her high flying career and living her best life. With no actual desire to have a romantic relationship with anyone and mostly just to appease her parents, she gets engaged to a pretty decent, yet slightly boring accountant (who of course is Indian too..duh) So it all becomes a bit of a mess, when one day Kessiya ends up finding her soon to be husband, held hostage, half naked and kneeling on the floor of his living room... with a very threatening looking gun to his head. But what happens when Kessiya doesn't know what she should be more scared off. The gun? Or the bloody gorgeous man, holding it?

She was blind, her abusers made her blind after they saw her shift. For 10 years she saw nothing but deafening darkness until an earthquake surrounding her pack sent her down a dark hole/portal to what her wolf warned her to be the underworld. "Who is she? How did she get here?" A husky, alluring voice said "I have no clue" a female replied As Seina walked forward waving her arms around trying so hard to find something to touch, her body hit a hard object and shock overwhelmed her body as her wolf said "Mate." "Wait what?" the husky voice said, filled with shock. #1 in Unloved #1 in Unknown #1 in SOULS #2 in Hades #3 in Blind
