He'll have to break all the rules to keep her, but first she has to break just one and let him in... It's taken four years, but Anna Fray has finally put the past behind her. Mostly.

The only problem is that the more time she spends around the boy with the book, the more she notices he's not like everyone else. It's not until one winter's night that she realises just how different he is. In that moment, the world as she knows it, is changed forever. **Updated every Saturday** **Featured on the official WP Paranormal 'Paranormal Paramours' reading list** **Featured on the official WP NARomance 'Love and Faerytales' reading list** ** Featured on the official WP General Fiction 'paranormal' reading list**

I turn back around to start going back to the pack house where it's safe but I realise, he's right in front of me. My breath catches in my throat as I let out a gasp. "Never seen something so beautiful, I see?" He taunts. "Make one sound and I'll bite you right here, right now." ════ *.·:·. ☽ ✧ ✦ ✧ ☾ .·:·.* ════ Phoebe Wolf, a gorgeous werewolf and daughter of the Alpha.
