Violence is never the answer… until it is.Rin Brutality has been the cage surrounding me for most of my life. Each regime comes and goes, but the goal remains the same. To take our voices. Our education. Our freedom. Now this alien says he plans to confine me. No. This is a new world, and I refuse to live the same oppressive way light years from Earth. His actions let me know he doesn't just embrace violence, he loves it, and I just can't accept that. Or him. Kuret How will I protect her? How can I fulfill my promise if she says one more act of aggression, and she will leave me? The moment I see her, I can't keep images out of my head of how her white hair would look against my skin. But it cannot be. She is far too young for a donor, and I can't be the cause of her death. I would never forgive myself. It shouldn't matter if she can't forgive me for what I did when we first met. It's not as if males and females can be friends… or more… but hope simply won't die. Books in this series end in a HFN. They can be read alone, but it will take all of the women and their mates to fight for their collective HEA. It will be more enjoyable if read in sequence. Love is love, regardless of gender or species, which means not all relationships in this series are M/F. This series is meant for readers 18+ and includes explicit content and violence, with dark themes. Beware of triggers.
