Forever Mine

"I am not your mate! You rejected me, remember?" The words tore from her throat like shattered glass, raw with ten years of buried pain. Nick's eyes blazed crimson as jealousy consumed him—seeing her care for Henry, another vampire, had pushed him past his breaking point. In a heartbeat, he moved with supernatural speed, pinning her against the cold stone wall, his body trapping hers. "I didn't want to reject you," he growled, his voice breaking with anguish. "I had no choice. I couldn't watch you die because of what I am." Before she could process his words, before she could see the tears threatening to spill from his eyes, he vanished—leaving only the lingering scent of his torment and Erin's world spinning off its axis. What had he meant? What was he hiding? And why did her heart still race at his touch after all these years? When a cursed werewolf's love could kill and a hybrid vampire's heart still bleeds, can two shattered souls find their way back to each other? Some rejections are lies wrapped in protection. Some loves are worth dying for.
