Thirty-seven-year-old John Morgan's personal life is already in disarray when he receives a phone call that his brother and niece are dead. His relationship with his father is nearly nonexistent, he barely speaks to his sister, and he has no real friends to lean on. As the tragic news slowly begins to sink in, John realizes he is floating aimlessly in the middle of an unpredictable sea of emotions with no one to rescue him.
In this compelling tale that movingly illustrates the devastating effects of a dysfunctional family, John must learn to change what he can, accept what he cannot, and make the difficult decision to leave some things behind.

He has to make Bella recognize him as her mate before he has to leave and crush her heart. Let the games begin! ××× "It's a very unique take on the traditional alpha rejects his mate story. I really liked it. Can't wait for the sequel." -ccsmudge "The most favorite thing about this story is its unique plot. Even though it has topics like rejection which is very common but this story brings it with a twist. I love the way, the author just smoothly explains even small details with ease. The protagonist being blind has a strong personality with her weakness also. This makes the character feel more realistic than fictional and this is what I love the next about this story." -Caging_Dreams --- BEAUTIFUL cover by the lovely artist and awesome author @supernovass TRIGGER WARNING: Deals with mild emotional abuse.Complete
