Bae-Wrights 14
BELLE:
I’ve spent my entire miserable life being called an abomination. As the only human born into a powerful werewolf family, my existence was tolerated until my father "disappeared," and my sadistic stepfamily used his freedom to bargain me away. My prize? Alpha Luke, a ruthless monster who doesn't want a wife; he wants a sacrifice.
So, I did the unthinkable. I tore off my ugly wedding dress, ran bare-foot into the freezing mountain night, and threw myself into the path of a stranger's car.
I jumped straight into the passenger seat of Alpha Adrian—the one man feared more than the monsters I'm running from. He’s huge, scarred, and dangerous as hell, but his touch does something to me that no one can explain. I’m supposed to be running, but every time he looks at me with those icy eyes, the only thing I want to do is stay.
ADRIAN:
They call me the Sleepless Alpha. Decades ago, a fire took my mother, my peace, and my ability to close my eyes without dreaming of my own death. I don’t believe in luck, and I don’t do charity.
But I didn't expect the tiny, bleeding fugitive in a torn dress to hijack my car—or to completely shatter my world.
There is something in her, something she doesn't even understand, that silences the storm in my head. Every predator seems to want her dead, but they're going to have to go through me first. I didn’t mean to imprint on her, but now that she’s mine, I’ll burn this entire territory to the ground before I let anyone touch her.
