Nephadsvari: First Language. A term used to distinguish those who have magic and those who don't. Meaning "blessed," "godly," "irregular."
The nephadsvari are the protectors of the people. From what is unknown, and Naja Drakea is convinced she isn't one. But even living alone in a cardboard palace can't erase the signs: her magic, however dangerous, and the purple tattoos that scroll across her skin, the ones she's had since birth. She is perfectly content with her life as it is: working at a fabric shop, holding her unpredictable magic in an inescapable grip, and uncontrollably hearing the thoughts of everyone around her. Even regarded as crazy, Naja has never wanted more.
Then they come for her.
Unwilling to leave, Naja uses more magic in a day then she ever has in her life on two nephadsvari who think her unstable. They bring her back unconscious to their mysterious city, where people with magic walk freely and train hard. Trapped between the ocean and a wall of diamond, Naja meets Abem, a man with magic just as dark and dangerous as hers who offers her protection from the prying eyes of curious others.
When people start disappearing from the city, Naja volunteers to join the search party, seeing her chance to escape. However, when Abem becomes one of the missing and leaves behind a message from the god of death, she takes things into her own hands and leads a quest to bring them all back. On the way she faces trials, errors, and the mysterious force the nephadsvari devote their lives protecting the world from, all testing the one thing she insists: she isn't one of them.

Is it too late to say Sorry?
"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.Complete
