Xavier takes another step in my direction, backing me up against the wall. He tips my head to the side and plants a soft kiss on my neck.
"Do you have any idea what you do to me?", he murmurs, placing small kisses on my jawline.
I try to take a deep breath to calm myself down, but the smell of his cologne just makes me even dizzier.
"Xa-Xavier, you're drunk", I stutter.
He smirks, slowly brushing his lips against mine.
"I'm fine. Come on, Evie. You know you want me", he purrs, nibbling my bottom lip.
I close my eyes, trying to gather the courage to push him away, but to no avail.
"We've both wanted this since the moment we laid eyes on each other. Stop fighting it, my love", he whispers into my ear.
You know what?
Fuck it. Fuck the 365 days. He's right. I want him. So fucking badly.

What do you do when the one person who's supposed to love you, doesn't want anything to do with you?
Evelyn Harris's life changed the day she laid her eyes on Xavier.
Her soulmate.
But what should have been a joyous occasion, became the most heartbreaking moment in her life, when she found out that her mate doesn't want her.
Now, she'll have to survive 365 days with him and his pack in order to leave with her heart intact. Or so she hopes.
Because the more time she spends with the Crescent Moon Pack, the more she realizes how difficult it'll be to say goodbye to these people who have given her everything she has ever longed for.
A real home.
