Cursed to choose the fate of her kind.
Faith
After nearly a decade of waiting, I was finally marrying the love of my life. Or so I thought. After tragedy strikes and my wedding day turns into chaos, I didn't think I'd ever find happiness again, not until my best friend convinces me to take my honeymoon alone. I was content in drowning my sorrows when Declan bulldozed his way into my bubble and annihilated it. He may be drop-dead gorgeous to look at, but something about him brings out a side of me that I don't quite know what to do with.
It was easier to allow the denial of what he was to me to take root than to enable my hormones to take control. But he drew me in effortlessly, fooling me with gentle touches and reigniting a fire I'd long thought was past being able to burn again. He slammed into all of my shields and destroyed them one at a time. So, when fate intervened and awakened a curse I knew nothing of, I'm ripped from a possible happiness and forced to endure my faults.
Will the lies I've been told all of my life ruin everything? Will my choice destroy me, or those I love?
Declan
After leaving the Army Special Forces and before heading home, I'd made my decision not to take over the pack. I didn't deserve to be much of anything. I was too broken to lead again, and I was proven right after one horrifying night wrecked any doubts I had. I vowed to myself it would never happen again, so I ran and settled anew with the facts: I wasn't ever going to be the alpha I was born to be, and I would never be gifted the other half of my soul.
Four years later, I was mostly happy in my seaside bar, surrounded by people who'd accepted me despite my issues, and all was decent in the world. Until she strolled up drunk and sunburned. Sassy and intoxicating, she shredded my carefully planned-out, quiet life and broke my vow.
She would've been safer without me. But, fate never gives us what we want, does she? No, she gives you secrets and hidden powers, mates you didn't ask for, but end up not being able to live without, only to crush you with them all later.
With vampires on the hunt and the moon rising, secrets come to life that will destroy everything. An evil lurks in the shadows, threatening to turn our world into upheaval.
Choices will be made, and some hearts will break, while others will thrive. Why does it have to mine?
