Mysterious, dark-haired, sexy almond eyes, all charm, Alpha Kymon Zephyr is everything she wants to run away from.

His records. She knows.
His past. She knows but not the part she was part of. Not the part that scares every inch of his being. The part that drives him crazy. Mad. 

All smiles, brown alluring eyes, Lyra Reyes is everything he fears. Everything that threatens to break down his walls. Everything that reminds him of his past.

But, as much as they want to be away from each other, fate draws them together and so close to the point she'd destroy every obstacle that comes his way and he'd burn any person that harms a single hair on her body.

Remember now, the past always has a way of coming back and when it does, it leaves them with no option but to break apart or destroy the world.

But then again, who gives a damn about the world?

I watch her disappear into the darkness, each step echoing louder than it should. For someone so small, Lyra leaves chaos in her wake—storming out like that, eyes wild with betrayal, voice cracking under the weight of everything I just dropped on her.


I turn away from the gate, digging my nails into my palm. The sting helps. It reminds me I'm still in control. That I'm not some lovesick fool chasing after emotions I buried the night Freya died.


I ran after Lyra Reyes like some guard dog desperate to prove his loyalty. Why? Because she's an asset?


She's more than that. I don't know how or why, but every time I look at her, I feel like I'm standing on the edge of something I've seen before but can't name. That song she sang that night, the way she flinches at certain words, the way her eyes lock with mine like we've met in a place beyond this one—it haunts me.
