The Coldest Sunrise (Rejected Fates)

AURELIA
When a photo of my fiancé holding another woman broke the internet, I was freezing on a mountain peak, waiting for a sunrise he promised we’d watch together.
The high-altitude wind was bitter, and the sun piercing the clouds offered absolutely no warmth.
When I finally climbed down, I sent Zane a perfectly calm text ending our engagement.

Three years. I was done. I didn't want him anymore.

Walking away wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be.
But what I didn't expect was to turn around and walk straight into the arms of a man who had been scheming for this exact moment.

ALARIC
By the time I crawled out of the darkness and finally earned the right to stand before her, she was already wearing another man's ring.
It didn't matter. I could wait.
Now, that blind fool has finally broken her trust, and I am seizing my chance.
She says she isn't ready for a new relationship?
That's fine. I have all the time in the world.
As long as she doesn't kick me out of her life, I have a thousand ways to slowly, ruthlessly infiltrate her world.

Until she can never, ever leave me.
