There are many names I have called the night crawlers. But I never thought I'd call one my mate. The waira are nightmares. No one thought they were real. Until our hunting party went out…and didn’t come back. What came back instead was an evil that was older than even the dark elves. His name is Mael. And his kind turned our camp into a butcher block. From this carnage, Mael took me and carried me away. I was brought to his cave to serve him. Terrified. Heartbroken. Furious. I never thought I'd find comfort in the arms of this monster. But I did. He nurtured me and protected me. Healed me. Fed me. And made me realize that he may have taken my brother. And his kind may have taken my people. But I had taken his heart. From the Author: Standalone dark fantasy monster romance with HEA. If you like morally grey males who will do whatever to protect their lady, this is for you!
