"Even if I had to get a girlfriend who looked like her enough that I convinced myself I was in love in a month. Because Aleks had been an obsession I hadn’t seen coming, and she had made me promise never to ask for more than friendship from her the day we met. When she left, she’d taken my soul with her."
Leukas Hyades is just trying to go through life alone peacefully and with as little violence as possible despite the demons which affiliate him, the silence which stands in the stead of his wolf inside and a family that can't just let him be despite all the damage he's caused them and everyone he loves, including his twin brother. He's determined that if he can't be the best Alpha, the Alpha he was meant to be before he messes up, then he'll be the best at everything else.The last thing he needs in his somewhat quiet life is the reappearance of his once close friend Aleksander; 'Just Aleksander' in his life and infiltrating every bit of his old home and his high walls.
"Who is he?” I had whispered quite unbothered by the huskiness of my voice. I was entranced by the man. His eyes just killed me even as he wrote something on his notebook, shining with a quite pleasure in what he was doing. His hands were encased in black leather gloves, something so mundane and random that somehow appealed to me greatly. His body was completely free of any tension then; it was like he was home in that lab. How I would ever look away from him was beyond me. How I could stop myself from spiraling into an obsession with him was a mystery.
Aleksander has loved Leukas since the day she saw him and stalked him for months, and even more now, ten years later. She will do anything to be in his life, even try to resist all the things which her body demands she does with him. Maybe the new man in town could be just what she needs to douse the fire of passion that burns within her. Maybe
