Claimed by Shadows

All Aven ever wanted was stability. After escaping her childhood and moving across the country, she was finally getting a taste of it. She worked, payed rent, and lived like any other twenty one year old. She didn't have much but she was perfectly content with that. She was happy living in her small apartment and paying her bills. She kept to herself and blended in, not wanting to draw attention to herself, not wanting to dig up her past.
Elijah had more than he could ever wish for. Money, respect, power. But no love. He hadn't found her yet. His shadows were out there with her somewhere. His father took them away, took his power and banished it. His reality for the past five years was searching for the one that would rule next to him. She held the shadows that would make him strong again. She herself was strong. He just needed to find her.
A chance encounter will leave Aven thrust into a life she never imagined while Elijah fights for what's his.
