[18+] What happens when you fall in love with the one person you're not supposed to?

❝You and me, and never us; a complicated series of almost-interactions❞

*

It was the summer before college, and Kara was forced to spend the holidays with her new family. Little did she know, a lot could happen in one hot summer.

*

The moment Kara laid her eyes on Ryder, she knew she was a goner. She had never met anyone as sexy, fun, and liberating. But she'd made a promise that she won't give herself away before marriage.

The moment Ryder laid his eyes on Kara, he knew his life wouldn't be the same again. He had never met a girl so pure and genuine. He made it his life mission to be with her, for better or for worse.

Except, they could never be together; the universe had played a cruel joke on them. Their love for one another was the kind of love that only comes once in a blue moon, yet they could never be anything more than a brother and sister. 

All that love, yet it was barely anything at all.

✨Previously called Ruthless✨ He's cold hearted, dangerous, and not one to be messed with. Leandor the alpha of midnight shadow pack has a reputation for getting what he wants whether you give it to him willingly or not. He fears no one but everyone fears him until a lone soul wanders on his territory. She's been on the run for what seems like ages. Fear is the only thing driving her to keep moving forward. Traveling with only her older sister she hopes of finding refuge, but that all goes out the window as they both end up crossing over into one of the strongest packs' territory. Mia and her sister Elena think after everything, that this is the end, that their past had finally caught up to them.... But that's not the case as Mia lays eyes on a killer, an alpha. Yet he's not just any alpha, he's alpha Leandor, and he's Ruthless. Just Mia's luck.... They're mates. Excerpt from book: "Get up Mia. It's time to go." Leandor told me staring patiently for me to move. I brought my knees up to my chest and hugged them lightly. "Then go. No ones stopping you." I reminded him. He growled and went to grab me. I raised an eyebrow and somehow it stopped him. I don't know why but it did. Not only that but everyone seemed to stiffen as well. "Are you testing my patience?" He asked with a menacing undertone to his voice. "Well seeing as you'd fail any test I give you, then yes I'm testing your patience." I replied sarcastically. He growled at me and pulled me to my feet in one motion. I strained to keep my composure. Two angry wolves is something to reckon with especially one being an alpha. "Are you calling me stupid?" "Well I'm definitely not calling you smart, now am I?" I smirked crossing my arms. Cover by: SilverAmy Copyright 2014 Completed 2019
