[Warning: This book contains Strong Language and Mature Content] On her eighteenth birthday, Ravenna felt the weight of exile as she was outlawed from her home because she could not shift to a werewolf, a mark of shame in their world that revered power. Away from all the ridicules and hate, she had at least a more peaceful life, until a beautiful storm knocked at her door. Deceived by its enchanting waves, Ravenna welcomed it with open arms until she was swept away into the deepest depth of the ocean of love. Being a daughter of an alpha, that was not supposed to happen even if she was not living in the pack anymore. Falling in love with the king of darkness. Alaric! He is the epitome of danger. But then, she turned his life upside down. From a heartless man to an obsessive lover. All he wished was to keep her with him. Even if it meant chaining her to himself. Whether what he felt was infatuation, desire or... he just would never ever let her go. Let no man or beast separate him from what he had claimed and marked; else they would face his unceasing wrath. **************** "Am of no use to you, why do you still insist on keeping me?" She just wanted to hear him say it. That he loved her as much as she did. She was becoming more desperate as days went by, maybe more than desperate to the extent of destroying herself in this love. Alaric paused and kept his laptop aside. He held her hand and brought her in front of him before pulling her to his lap. Silently, he sniffed her neck and licked it, then replied, "Because I want to." He continued his actions, and his hands were already moving under her dress caressing her thighs. Ravenna took a deep breath trying to stop herself from diving into pleasure as always. "Will you ever say it?" Her voice came out as a low yearning plead and with his advanced hearing ability, Alaric did not miss a word. "Say what?" His hand reached her pant ready to tear it apart. "That you love me." Her words made him pause abruptly before looking at her. As usual, his eyes were blank with no hint of emotions making Ravenna feel like she was just fooling herself. For how long could she endure this? "Do I?" He asked not tearing his gaze away from her eyes that were already tearing up.

Having been able to perform a little bit of magic, Tessa escapes from her home that is more of a prison to her, with the intention of going around Kingdoms she comes across. Unknown to her, the more she uses her power the more she attracts danger. What kind of danger? No one knows. Until she meets him. Zarek, a forbidden name in Eryndor Kingdom. He is the fourth Prince of the Kingdom, loathed by everyone including his father, the King, and sentenced to life imprisonment since birth. Until he meets her. Locked in one cell, both ignites something deep inside each other. A raw, untamed passion that they cannot ignore. The touch of her hand is like fire to his dead cold soul and every stolen kiss, every fleeting moment between them, becomes a sin they cannot stop committing. It is until their separation do they realize they are betrothed to each other. A bond formed by human but already destined. As their love deepen, Tessa is forced to confront the darkest secret of her bloodline. Her power goes out of control due to a curse and the more time she spends with Zarek, it becomes a threat not only to her but him too. But not in a million years will Zarek let her go. She is his life, his love and obsession. ************** “Our love… is deemed dangerous, impure and cursed. That it will break all.” Tears streamed on her face, blood oozing from her mouth. “And it will break me if you leave, Tessa.” For the first time, Zarek shed a tear. Just for her. “I love you, Tessa. Please don’t go.” Their forehead leaned on each other, as they let their emotions flow together with the rain, making silent vows. “Let’s go away from here.” They said at the same time. ************ This book is in the Cupid's Quill contest.
