fragile longing

Selene Whitmore has known only pain. Half-blind, mute, and scarred from years of torment, she has spent her life as a captive, treated as nothing more than a possession by the ruthless rogue, Sebastian Kane. She stopped screaming long ago. She stopped fighting. She stopped hoping. Until the night Alpha Killian Blackwood slaughters her captors and finds her trembling in the dirt—his fated mate. Killian is a warrior, feared and respected, but nothing prepares him for the fragile girl who flinches at his touch. He swears to protect her, to give her the freedom she’s never known. But his pack whispers—how can a broken, silent human be the mate of a powerful Alpha? Selene tries to disappear into the shadows, but fate won’t let her. Neither will Killian. Because Sebastian isn’t done with her yet. When warnings turn into attacks and the past refuses to die, Selene must make a choice—remain the powerless girl she was or become something no one ever expected. Can Killian convince her to trust him before it’s too late? Or will Sebastian drag her back into the darkness she barely escaped?

Mia always knew that her life wasn't normal. At seventeen, all she wanted was stability, friends and an ordinary routine. But her reality was quite different. From time to time, her mother and grandparents forced her to abandon everything and run away, claiming that “bad men” had found them. This made Mia the odd girl out at every school she went to, always out of place, with no answers to the questions that plagued her. As if that wasn't enough, Mia suffered from mysterious seizures, unbearable pain that no one seemed to want to explain. Her mother, Elisa, refused to take her to hospital, hiding secrets that Mia was never able to uncover. But everything changes drastically when her grandparents die in strange circumstances and a violent crisis almost destroys her. Desperate, Elisa decides it's time to change their lives forever and takes Mia to Forks, the small town where, according to her, Mia's father lives - the only one capable of helping her. There, Mia discovers that she was never just a human. And worse: she discovers Nolan, the most dangerous bad boy in town... and her partner. But there's a problem: Nolan doesn't want her. To him, Mia is just a fragile, unwanted half-human. The problem? He wants her - but only in bed. Between intrigues, secrets and a destiny that seems to conspire against them both, Mia and Nolan find themselves trapped in a dangerous game of desire and rejection. In the end, the question that remains is: will love and attraction be stronger than prejudice and anger? Or will they end up hating each other forever?
