Mara is a homunculus. Where she is from, though, it is not all that uncommon. Homunculi are the indentured servants of the Magi, a select few humans who protect everyone from the world outside the Barrier they erected together. Mara has been promised by her Magi, Draven, to marry a man she does not know. When a stranger appears and disrupts the festivities days before the wedding, Mara takes matters into her own hands and wrestles a deal to escape the carefully laid fate the Magi had planned for her.

The Alpha in front of her just stayed frozen. "Why do you make me feel so....pained?" The Luna questioned as her hands slightly trembled. "You have suffered because of me. I deserve to be punished but please," He said as he tried to approach her. The Luna watched him in disbelief as the man embraced her tightly in his arms. "Please let me hold you in my arms, even if its just for awhile, even if its just for today. Please..." He begged as tears fell down from his face. 'If I tell her that she's my mate, then I will lose the right to remain by her side.' The Alpha firmly said inside his mind. 'Please, just let me stay while I can, because once she remembers me - I will have to leave.' ※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎-※◎※◎※◎※◎※◎ This book is a work of fiction.
