Memes About Grief Novels & Stories

At twenty-one, I made the mistake of telling the truth. I accused a powerful Alpha of violating me. The Moon Tribunal called me a liar — and ripped out my tongue to make sure I could never say it again. Then they gave me to him. MATTHIAS VOLKOV. Cold. Ruthless. Sixteen years older than me and haunted by a grief that has made him into something the other Alphas fear. He didn't ask for me. I didn't ask for him. And the arrangement between us was never meant to be anything more than political convenience. But he carries me when I fall. He stands between me and the people who want me silent. And when he discovers what the Elders did — what they really did — the coldest Alpha in the territories becomes the most dangerous thing I have ever seen. They took my voice to stop me from speaking the truth. They should have taken more. I can't speak. He can't love. But together, we will burn the system that broke us both — and I will make sure they hear it.
