John C Maxwell Quotes

Elelira, forced by her uncle into a marriage alliance with the rumored monstrous alpha of the south, was surprised to find on her wedding day that he was actually her mate. Due to a secret she and her late mother kept, he wouldn’t feel the mate bond for two more years, until it was too late. Elelira, on the day she turns 20, the day Lachlan can feel the bond, she rejects him before escaping into the sea. Her freedom is short lived as her quest to find her real father takes her back to her abusive Uncle’s pack, where she is captured and tortured until her death. She hopes that is the end, but as soon as her eyes close, they open again and she is back at the beginning; the beginning of her suffering. She traveled back to the day of her wedding, and has to live through all that pain and torture again. Or so she thinks….. Lachlan was against the marriage to the conniving Alpha Wayne’s niece, fearing he was being trapped and leashed, but he had no grounds to refuse. Elelira was like a temptress from hell, or so he thought. He desired her, but he thought that was just a trick from her uncle. He fought against the desire, holding out for the day he could annul the marriage and find his true fated mate. By the time he realized it was her all along, it was too late. To correct the mistakes of his past, he sacrificed greatly to get a second chance. What he didn’t expect, though, was for her to come back with all her memories of the future from the past as well.

Et surtout, pourra-t-elle dompter la puissance incontrôlable qui sommeille en elle, avant qu’elle ne devienne elle-même l’arme de sa propre perte ?
