------------------------------- This is only a temporary weakness that he takes note of to never let happen again. When he turns his back toward her, a searing singe of pain is scratched somewhere inside him as he begins to take a step away from her but he forces it aside for the time being, until he can forget it all together. "Wait." A quiet and raspy voice calls out as a warm hand captures his wrist in a gentle grasp. Dane stops in his tracks as the hold on his wrists tightens slightly. "Why?" The question leave his lips before he can stop them and yet 'why' is the perfect question. Why indeed isn't he tearing his arm away from her touch and trucking through the door to return to being the only thing he knows how to be? "Because I want to look at you." Alexis says, unknowing of what exactly she's asking for. The dark hallway lies ahead, beckoning Dane to hide in its safety. Welcoming him with open arms, as a mother would with its beloved child but the heat of the light warms his back in a coercive manner. The heat of Alexis's light calls to him. "Let me see who you are...please." ------------------------------- Alexis Mulligan just wanted to protect her beloved cousin from falling into the hands of an Alpha who is a ghost no one has seen and yet everyone fears. She never expected to be haunted by the phantoms of her past or the one that she has become engaged to. Now, steeped into a world of silence she must become the Luna she signed up to be or leave sleeping monsters where they lie. ... Dane Whitfield finds comfort in the dark nest he has created for himself. No gawking eyes, screaming voices, or fearful gazes fall upon him when he is locked in his tower and he is satisfied with just that. Or at least he thought he was until a girl who is intended to be his Luna is thrust upon his well built castle wall. A bright light threatens the peace in darkness that Dane found himself in and he can't decide if it should be embraced or snuffed out.

I took a deep breath. "I know you know," I said. My voice was barely a whisper. The words felt huge in the quiet room. Luca tilted his head. "Know what, Iris?" His eyes searched my face. "My crush," I said. My face burned. "On you." My stomach dropped. The words hung in the air. I didn't even try to lie. There was no point. He had seen it. He had always known. But saying it out loud it burned. I stayed still. My eyes stung. ************ He broke her heart once. This time, he'll destroy anyone who tries to break hers. At twenty-two, Iris Darlington finally has her life moving in the right direction. A dream job. Amazing friends. A future she built without anyone's help. Especially not Luca Whitmore. The man who shattered her teenage heart. The man she's spent years trying to forget. But avoiding Luca becomes impossible when fate throws them back into each other's lives. Because Luca isn't the same man she remembers. He's colder. More powerful. More dangerous. And the way he looks at her now makes it clear that forgetting her was never an option. As old feelings ignite and buried secrets come to light, Iris finds herself caught between the life she's worked so hard to build and the man who could tear down every wall around her heart. In Manhattan, power is everything. Love is weakness. And Luca Whitmore is willing to become a monster if it means keeping Iris safe. Even from himself.
