She had everything going for her - a flawless reputation, loyal friends, and a future built on safety and hard work.
Her world was clean, structured, and far away from danger.
Xavier's world was the opposite.
He ruled the city from the shadows. Feared, untouchable, and ruthless. A man who never mixed business with emotion and never let anyone close enough to matter.
Until he saw her.
She wasn't supposed to matter. She doesn't belong in his world. And he knows it. And yet, from the moment their eyes met, Xavier knew one thing.
She was his weakness.
As fate drags them together, his obsession turns into protection, and his control begins to look like devotion. He would burn cities for her. Kill for her. Destroy anyone who dared touch what he already claimed.
But loving a man like Xavier comes with a price - secrets, enemies, and a darkness that threatens to swallow her whole.
In a world ruled by power and fear, she must decide: Will she run from the devil who wants her...or become the only thing he's ever loved.
As their lives collide, she's pulled into a world of power, secrets, and control. Where love is dangerous, loyalty is deadly, and being chosen by the mafia king might be the most beautiful...and terrifying thing that's ever happened to her.
"I, Cal River, Alpha of the Climax Night pack reject you, Raven Woods, as my pack's Luna and as my mate."
*****
Raven Woods was born a rogue. She would live her life as a rogue. She would die as a rogue. Nothing much would change about her status. . .unless she found her mate.
She dreamed of finding her mate. I mean, even a stubborn and rebellious rogue like her would love to find her one true love. He could make her happy. He would help her heal from her past. He would pull her out of the darkness her past threw her in.
But that's not the case when her mate, a harsh Alpha, who rejects her and allows her to fall deeper into the darkness. When he comes back, her life seems to spiral more and more and she has to wonder how their story will end.
