They can only dream of it and hopefully find serenity to fill the void, with the hopes of one day being able to feel it in their being. Akaiia Bleau Stepanova, is she destined to feel this brokenness forever or does her initial definition even begin to cover what true brokenness feels like?

Sometimes I just wish I could change my fate, but yes it is just wishful talk. My story is one full of emotion. Treason, hate, love and pretend. A wild combination, you might say. .... "I do." She says with the most beautiful smile, one that even reaches her eyes. One so rare and truly beautiful to witness. "Aiden River King, what is your answer? Do you take Akaiia Bleau Stepanova as your lawful wedded wife?" The priest questions. As soon as I'm about to answer a voice I remember to clearly ego's through the church walls. ... The tears staining her eyes are like daggers in my chest.

BLURB Sebastian never meant to fall for his Alpha. He never meant to crave the man who ruled over him, the one every wolf feared to even look in the eye. But desire doesn’t care about rules or ranks. Alpha Darius is everything Sebastian shouldn’t want: older, powerful, dangerous. Yet one look from him, one rough touch, and Sebastian’s world burns. What starts as a secret arrangement soon turns into something that feels too real, too deep… something neither of them can escape. But passion has a price. The pack is under threat. The nightwalkers—creatures thought to be long dead—are rising again, and Darius’s enemies are watching for the perfect moment to strike. To protect his pack, Darius must take a chosen mate. To protect his heart, he must deny the bond that ties him to Sebastian. When betrayal cuts deep and war tears their world apart, both Alpha and omega are forced to choose between duty and desire, between survival and love. Because destiny doesn’t ask for permission. And sometimes, the forbidden is exactly what the moon demands. CONTENT WARNING: THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+.
