An abomination. A taunt that had embedded itself into her very soul. Amelia hated her paper skin, her abyss eyes. People feared her for her unnatural features and avoided her like the plague. She was resented because she did not resemble either of her parents. She was an outcast because she spoke her mind and participated in sword fights. She was laughed at because no man would gaze upon her and admire her beauty. Amelia lived a life full of thorns, whispered venom, and disgusted glares. Until the night when her life completely changed. 

She was sold, exchanged for a few pieces of gold. Her family, her flesh and blood, gave into the whims of the King who demanded her for reasons he refused to disclose. Just like that, Amelia became a property of the Crown. She could not understand King Stefan, the Blood Hound, a man who seemed to have two different personalities depending on the location of the sun. She could not believe that she had any significance. She had become a prisoner, and all Amelia desired, all she hoped for, was to be free and happy and accepted. 

An abomination. Amelia hated her skin, and she so desperately needed someone to love her for it.

"I've had enough of your games," He growled, sending an involuntary shiver up my spine. "For the last time, who... the fuck... are you?" The demand had his voice dropping a pitch lower with each word and it suddenly got harder to breathe. A ripple of anxiety began a slow crawl up my spine, and I moistened my lips. "I- I'm Willow, Julie's girlfriend?" Why was I nervous all of a sudden? "Again with this shit, I don't care who the fuck your little girlfriend is. What do you want?" ~•~•~•~ Following her father's passing, Willow Macomber and her family were plunged into the harsh realities of poverty, where they struggled to make ends meet while burdened with debt. Saddled with a neglectful mother consumed by addiction and betrayed by a world that preyed on the vulnerable, Willow's once fragile heart hardened over time, leading her to develop a deep mistrust of men and seek solace with a woman who offered the love and security she longed for. Unbeknownst to Willow, Julie's deception poses a grave threat, entangling her in a complex web of deceit. Enter Dorian Wilhelm-White: ruthless, self-absorbed, volatile, and strikingly handsome, Dorian embodies everything Willow despises. Yet from their very first encounter, she was his, whether she liked it or not; and against his better judgment, Dorian is drawn to her fierce defiance with a passion. Sparks fly despite their stark differences, and attraction, unlike anything before simmers beneath the surface of their anger and suspicion. However, Dorian harbors his own darkness, and Willow soon comes to realize that giving in to him may come at a steep price... But is it one she's ready to pay?
