She had no name. She was a number.
She is one of the last, born from the ideas of science and experimental accidents, solvents and unknown chemicals, stuck in a padded cell to envy those who drift and sigh beyond it. She has known nothing, has nothing. The last, yet the first of her kind in centuries, a fact she only knows by the absolute lack of wings and foreign features of the creatures who kept her in the "Before".
She, who had never known anything other than the white of her prison.
She who escaped in the veil of the night, melting into the strange and colorful world that greeted her, free, until it no longer felt like freedom.
She, who burnt down the ones who held her captive.
Becoming a nothing is easy when you enter an orphanage.
Being a nothing is easy when adoption grants you an education.
Being nothing becomes hard when your new homeroom teacher has two pairs of gleaming cold blue eyes focused on your every move and your best friend is his niece.
Elijah Denver, former bounty hunter and the alpha of a well-known pack in LA, finds himself in a very interesting situation when he finds his mate hidden in among his students, and when his niece brings her right into his arms, in the middle of a pack war, how does a man respond to the temptations of a woman with the features of an angel?
The eyes of a wickedly handsome man.
The fears of a timid hawk.
The war of a powerful dark force, hell bent on gaining the mysterious secrets she holds underneath.
The Wings of the Damned, and the ones who soared beneath.
"She was a girl that managed to shine through when surrounded only by gloom."
Mysterious.
Secretive.
Hidden.
Rose Fate was all these things. Never to be seen in the popular crowd. Never to be truly seen at all. Never to tell people her mysterious past, she depended on her mother for courage and strength.
Because she's an angel. One that the council was after for her mysterious making between a vampire and a fairy. She had to stay hidden from the world, or the council would destroy her for having wings, like the nearly extinct fairies have had to gone through for nearly three hundred centuries. When her father dies from a mysterious being, Rose and her Mother, Astyr, goes off in the wilderness, planning to renew their life by repainting over their hidden past. But all goes wrong when Rose ends up meeting her mate. Even worse then that?
He's an alpha werewolf.
However, Rose soon finds her heart isn't in the right place. Scared to be betrayed by the ones she loves, scared to be truly discovered, she can't love. She can't feel. She can only conceal. And watch as her mate gets brokenhearted by his failure to get Rose to fall for him by the mate bond.
But Rose soon finds out a negative times a negative makes a positive. Soon, the angel that thinks only negative thoughts about what would happen about her future and the bad boy soon to be alpha fall in love.
And then their love is put to the test when the council finds out Rose's identity. The girl with the secret halo and secret wing's life is soon thrown into turmoil. Can their love triumph over a world devoid of love?
