Lacuna

Fate.

Quite twisted isn't it?
It pushes you to your worst, and when it finally brings you back to the light, the darkness somehow always finds its way through.

That's one way to describe Annabelle's life. Another one being her desire for love, a love that's pure, a love that's true and a love that lasts.

Desires are meant to be fulfilled. But one doesn't always get what they want.

Growing up with a father, almost as sadistic and vicious as fate itself; Xavier had come to terms with hating the sole idea of mates.

Was there any hope for a bond that had been built on nothing but broken hopes? Probably not.

However, when everything starts falling apart, Anne and Xavier may just realize how important their broken bond truly is.

They say the bond of two mates is strong enough to overcome all barriers. Would this bond be able to overcome the barrier separating these two or would it crush them under their own barrier?
