Within Temptation Bleed Out

To temper my attitude, Frederick Burke throws me into the mountains. What he doesn't know is that this mountain lies deep within a high-radiation zone. Five months later, he finally shows up with a group of people to bring me back. However, my body is already starting to rot from the radiation. "Anastasia, if you hadn't pushed Colette down the stairs, I wouldn't have punished you like this. I wouldn't have left you to rot on this godforsaken mountain. Do you admit your mistake now?" I kneel on the ground and prostrate myself before Colette Reeves. Frederick freezes and instinctively reaches out to help me up. "Alright, there's no need for this…" I say nothing. I just quietly watch as he grabs my arm. Unbeknownst to him, my body is already soaked in radiation after months in this mountain. Anyone who touches me will slowly begin to rot, too...

Aurora was just an ordinary human who ran away from home because of the physical abuse her father and stepbrother were putting her through. She didn’t see any need to live life again—until she met Ryan. Mysterious, dangerously alluring, and undeniably powerful, Ryan wasn’t like any man she had ever known. He was an Alpha, feared, respected, and cursed. His glowing red eyes should have been a warning, but instead, they pulled her deeper into a world she never knew existed. Bound by fate or something far more sinister, Aurora is thrust into the heart of a realm where secrets run deeper than blood, and love is as deadly as it is intoxicating. The Elders refuse to accept her. The shadows whisper warnings. And Ryan? He might be her greatest protector….or the reason she loses herself entirely. But when enemies rise, and betrayals cut deep, Aurora realizes that it is too late… She was never meant to survive this. Some love stories heal. Others destroy. And this one? It might just consume them both. In a world where trust is a weakness and love is a weapon, will Aurora fight for a future with Ryan or become just another casualty of his curse?

I've been in a coma for six months after a car accident. When I finally wake up, the first thing I hear is something sloppy in my hospital ward. My girlfriend, Quinn Simpson, is in here. She's kissing Chad Scott, her true love. Chad looks uneasy as he glances at me every few seconds. "Quinn, don't do this. I heard coma patients can still hear things. If Mateo hears us—" Quinn scoffs, completely unbothered. "So what? He's a vegetable. Probably won't wake up for the rest of his life. It's better this way, isn't it? Didn't you say you liked living on the edge?" They talk trash about me right in front of my face. I can even feel the contempt in Quinn's eyes. When the two of them finally leave, they don't notice the effort it takes for me to crack my eyes open. But the nurse who walks in next does. She sees it immediately and slams the emergency button. Once I start regaining strength, the first thing I do is send a message to my parents. "Mom, Dad, I'll do the arranged marriage."
