PROLOGUE: PART 3

When Calista, the spoilt and pampered daughter of a powerful Greek Alpha, finds her life in the crosshairs of an unknown threat, she’s forced to accept a new bodyguard into her already fortified world. To her, he’s just an overqualified babysitter, another move in her father’s manipulative game. She’s annoyed by his intrusion and the unsettling way he seems to read her like an open book, but also strangely drawn to the man who appears to be her complete opposite.

Levi, haunted by the sins he committed while under a malicious hex, is given a shot at redemption by being assigned to protect Calista. Focused on his mission and nothing else, he vows to guard her life with the same ferocity with which he once destroyed others. Yet, the more he gets to know the bratty, complex heiress, the more he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her.

Their lives are worlds apart: she’s the center of every party, and he’s the shadow lurking in the corner. While Calista can’t deny the unsettling, electric pull she feels towards Levi, admitting it means opening herself to potential heartbreak. For Levi, the attraction is a distraction he can ill afford, but also one he’s powerless to resist.

Calista is a mission, not a conquest. Levi is a means to an end, not a romantic distraction. 

As they fight the growing tension between them, they must also confront a deadly threat that’s closing in—fast. Can Levi put aside the guilt of his past to protect a future that may never be? And can Calista trust the man she’s tried so hard to resist, or will her defiance cost her everything?

Time is running out, and the line between love and duty is blurring. In a world where trust is a luxury and love a risk, will they make the ultimate sacrifice?
