Description
Mia's POV: I thought Hawthorne Academy would be my escape-my freedom from the cold, heartless home of my stepmother. But I wasn't prepared to face the real truth. I'm drawn to the cold, icy blue-eyed boy like a moth to a flame-the one who haunts my thoughts but hates me the most. Lucas Alaric. My mate... my soulmate. The fear of rejection drives me to take drastic measures-ones that could destroy me. His heart is a fortress built on pain, and I can't seem to stay away, no matter how hard I try. Lucas' POV: They say finding your mate is the greatest happiness one can know. But I know better. It's a curse. I know what it can do-how it can destroy you. My sister's death is a scar that will never heal. I don't want a mate to drag me down the same path. But Mia... she's different. Every time I look at her, I feel a strange pull. I can't seem to stay away. I can feel her heart, her pain, and it cuts deeper than any magic ever could. And I hate it... I hate her. Love only leads to destruction. But when secrets unravel and fate begins to burn, will love be their ruin-or their redemption?
