Finally she gives into the temptation. Her body lays against the side of the bed awaiting. The window creaks open, and a man covered in head to toe with beautiful blood red tattoos steps into her small room. They stop right at the collar, but they do extend up the wings that stick from his back dropping into the alley as he leans towards the side table. "My favorite jewel, are you awake?" His voice is gruff, an invite into the impossible. Her eyes spring tears, "Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. My name is Leonardo Hereward, and you are my mate. Now that you've spotted me, I suppose I should convince you to come home." Azalea Burton couldn't ignore the temptation of the green glow surrounding his irises, or the out stretched hand.

Her saving grace, her personal angel, whatever he needs to be. And once she accepts the offer, he has much more to give to her.
