I found her beaten, broken, and abused . . . and I want her.CedricShe was bleeding out behind a dumpster and somehow, for some reason, fate must’ve wanted me to find her before it was too late. Even though blood was covering her face, I could see past the grime, see the beauty lying underneath. I didn’t know anything about Arwen, but one thing I did know is what was done to her was unacceptable.I did the only thing I could. I took her to Finley and told her we’d have no choice but protect her. I think Finley knew back then something was different about Arwen and the way I looked at her, but none of us had any clue what was coming our way.We had no idea about the war coming, or that our own would be hurt while keeping Arwen safe.We didn’t have a clue, and I sure as fuck didn’t have any idea how hard I’d fall for her.

Ecstasy is one thing to cherish. Rapture is another. Arwen Finally, finding a place to be happy, I only hope that feeling lasts. I knew it wasn’t over with. Not by a long shot. I simply have to trust in Cedric and the rest to know what to do. The danger we should’ve seen right away comes our way. In the midst of bliss and ecstasy, I’ll find my rapture. Can I break out of my shell and prove myself? There’s only one way to find out.
