Aerian's Story: As a baby, I was abandoned on a doorstep, seemingly unwanted by my birth parents. I discovered I'm a unique creature - a dark angel with black wings instead of the usual white ones. My adoptive mother, who cherished me until I turned 16, told me I was special and needed protection. Unfortunately, she was taken from me soon after. Ever since, I've been living on my own, trying to stay hidden in Maine. Despite my efforts to maintain a low profile, I've found myself drawn to my mate, and I fear giving in to the connection could jeopardize my safety. Ruairi's Encounter: In one of my establishments, I stumbled upon my fated partner - a talented head chef who has been evading me since our initial meeting. Her distinct aroma of cardamom and coffee captivated me, and I sensed an underlying supernatural presence in her that I'd never encountered before. When I witnessed her being held captive, I knew instinctively that it was my duty to protect her. However, her escape only fueled my determination to locate and win her trust. Little does she know, an alpha like me relishes the thrill of the chase.
