Valiant Gargoyle Weakness

She was the good girl, the kind who went to church, held onto hope, and believed love was patient, kind, and safe. He was the golden boy, a charming athlete with a dangerous edge and a past full of secrets. When their worlds collided, it wasn’t gentle. It was wild. All-consuming. Addictive. From the very beginning, he swept her off her feet , with compliments, promises, and intense affection. She fell hard. He changed her, slowly pulling her away from her values, her friends, and herself. But behind the sweet messages and stolen kisses was something darker: cheating, manipulation, and obsession. When she made one mistake, one moment of weakness, he unraveled. Possessive. Cold. Punishing. Their love turned into a battleground of blame, silence, and control. She finally found the strength to walk away. Two months of no contact. Healing. Distance. She went overseas to find space from the chaos. But just as she began to breathe again, he messaged her. They reunited. Briefly. Just long enough for her to realize the truth: he hadn’t changed. But she had. This is the story of a girl who lost herself in someone else’s world, and slowly, powerfully, found her way back. It’s about love bombing, heartbreak, emotional survival, and becoming your own safe place. She meets other men, learns new lessons, and begins to understand that what she really wants isn’t chaos disguised as passion… It’s peace. Wholeness. Companionship built on truth. He was never her forever. But he was the lesson she needed to meet the love she deserved.

You don’t get to run away from me, mate,” he growled. “You don’t get to choose, cause you are mine.” “Then claim me properly,” I spat, daring him. “Or are you too much of a coward?” “I will never claim your heart,” he whispered, “but I will ruin your body.” ***** Cassie Morgan never believed in fated mates. She only believed in staying alive. So when her greedy uncle sold her to the dangerous Alpha of the Redfang Pack to pay off his debts, Cassie thought her life was finally over. She never thought she would catch the attention of Caden Holt…the cold and powerful Alpha of the pack. The man everyone feared. When Caden finds out Cassie is his mate, he rejects her abruptly. A strong Alpha like him has no space for a weak human like Cassie. Loving her would make him look weak. And weakness is not allowed in his world. But fate won’t let him go. The more he tries to stay away from Cassie, the more he is drawn to her. His body wants her. His wolf needs her. And when she is sold again, this time to his worst enemy, Caden risks everything to get her back. Now, it is no longer just about the mate bond. It is about revenge, desire, and it is about a second chance he never thought he would fight for.
