“Oh, what a sweet little fairy flew by to see me today. What do you want for this night, fairy?” Turning around, I meet eyes as black as night—they devour me so openly and shamelessly that I instantly feel uneasy. “I doubt you’ll find even anything that could interest me,” I turn away from him. “Nobody has ever given me such bold gifts,” he says, landing his words into my back. “Maybe it’s because I’m no gift to you?” I mutter to myself, getting ready to leave. And immediately I’m caught by the hand and pulled back to the insolent brute. “Seems you didn’t understand, fairy. I said you’re my present. So that’s how it is. Undress. I want to see what’s under the wrapping.” He’s a cruel shapeshifter who knows no refusals. He doesn’t hear the word “no.” He is an Alpha. A brother-slayer, nicknamed Cain. He has taken everything that belonged to Noel Moró. And now he intends to take me—an ordinary little student—by the will of fate, ended up in his house for a single night. Well, maybe not entirely ordinary. But for him it’s better not to know that. Otherwise he’ll never let me go again.
