I'll protect her with my last breath...even if it means breaking my own heart.

Raiden

My family is cursed, so I swore I'd never take a mate... Especially while the war decimating magickind grows bloodier every day. But my heart refuses to let go of Tabitha Lowery-soft, stubborn, brave... And carrying my youngling. I have a target on my back. I should keep my distance. But when the unthinkable happens, I'll burn the world down to protect her.

And the secret her father died to keep. Even if it means handing her over to the man her parents chose to keep her safe.

Tabitha

Raiden's abandonment was the worst pain in my life- Until my family was murdered before my eyes. Then the wizard who broke my heart comes roaring back. Ready to sacrifice everything to save my life...even at the cost of his own. I should walk away. I should honor the safe mate waiting for me. But when Raiden risks everything to protect our unborn child and claim what's his...

There's one truth left: love like ours isn't chosen. It's fate.
