Looking at the map several times to confirm, yes it's beautiful, it's perfect. The little town in Greece, right at the edge of the sea. Far away from any other towns on the coast, surrounded by gorgeous trees. It was a wonderful escape from my home town, new faces, and new opportunities.
Asura tried to escape her home she grew up in, and she got her chance. Finding a town that few knew of, and few lived by, it was a great option. Calling in for homes she was surprised at how easy it was, moving all the way from Russia, the man helping her get settled, knew just how to do things.
Although when she gets there, she is surprised at what she is faced with, the men in the town weren't human and they didn't hide it, she didn't know what they were. What's worse is that she was brought right into the middle of the mating year, where they viciously fight off anyone who goes near a woman.
Terrified she is approached by the most important men in charge, what were they? How can she get away. Once a woman is marked they become tied together, nothing can break it, they are companions till death.
"Not all of us are evil," Astra said with a heaving chest. "You will not destroy my species."
"No," the demon whispered as a smile crossed her lips. "But you will."
Astra has seen demons her entire life. In the shadows, in her sleep, in her imagination. But now... they are real. Creatures she thought only existed in her worst nightmares come in the night and tear her away from her home and everyone she loves.
In a faraway land, she has to adapt quickly. Unknown dangers lurk around every corner, and in order to live, she must question her every step and the intentions of everyone around her.
The odds are stacked against her. Between the ferocious beasts, unpredictable weather, and bloodthirsty plants, her chances are slim. To survive in this strange place takes everything she's got. Can she make it back home? Or will she die fighting?
