Love In Vein by atswrites at Inkitt

Story Notes

“I’m not afraid of you.” I breathe in a moment of some clarity.

Xavier’s face immediately contorts, the lust simmering and his eyes widening. He stares at me in a way he’s never stared before and the grip around my wrists loosens until they are completely released.

But I still don’t move.

Thunder and lightning start up again, lighting up the sky behind him. It frames him even more beautifully, even with his dirty hair and bloody face. Rain begins pouring down from the sky, completely drenching us and yet we stay.

Staring.

Waiting.

And I don’t know what for.

Summary

Elara escapes captivity with barely her life and a vow to never be controlled again. But freedom throws her straight into the path of the one man she knows she shouldn’t trust. Her captor, her enemy, her reluctant savior... and the spark of a rebellion that could end her right along with it. Yet, every step they take together blurs the line between hatred and something far more dangerous. And with a mate determined to reclaim control, Elara finds herself unwilling to leave Xavier’s side, even as the secrets he keeps coil around her like a noose. Secrets that may be the root of everything she’s suffered. As tensions rise and war brews in the shadows, Elara is forced to confront the truth she’s been running from: trust is a weapon, desire is a battlefield, and choosing wrong could cost her far more than her freedom. With bloodshed looming and time slipping away, she must decide who to believe, what to fight for, and where she truly belongs... Before her heart, and her life, are claimed by forces she can no longer outrun. WARNING: This book is second in a series and must be read in order to be understood.
