Having Nadia with him was a solace he was not ready to admit to but succumbed to. But when an all-out war with a group of humans who hated his kind loomed, he tried to make Nadia leave, making her believe her sins were not something he could forgive. Would she fall for his trick? Or would she discover there was something else at play and stay to fight alongside him as his Luna?
