Shackles (Eng.) [suspended]

First, he loved her. Then, he began to consume her.
Alice Magara lives in a world where vampires and werewolves (usually) know exactly how to pass as human. She has no interest in their supernatural powers or the romanticized, blood-soaked relationships built on dominance. She has her own plans-scholarship, independence, the fulfillment of a dream that's more than just survival.
But there are things she never saw coming.
Teodor Trustfall.

On the surface-an older guy with charisma and a spotless reputation. In reality-something that slowly blurs her boundaries, surrounds her, slips into her mind, until he's more present there than she is herself.

As she loses herself in the relationship, she stops noticing what's happening to her body, her friends, the world around her.
But not all bonds feel like chains.
Sometimes, they feel like hands on your waist. Warm, strong, familiar.
Until you realize they're not holding you. They're not letting go.

Note! The first 3-4 chapters are very slow-paced. In my opinion, it really picks up from chapters 4-5 onward. I've added a few too many descriptions, and some dialogues could be shortened. The book will be revised once the entire draft is complete. At that time, certain scenes-or even entire chapters-may be removed.
