Synopsis
When I see her face, for the first time in my life, I want something only for myself... Nasrin I spend my time in Gahn Thaleo's mountain with a combination of irritation and suspicion. I don't trust this manipulative, scarred mountain Gahn. He never shows any emotion on that stony face of his. His sight stars are an impenetrable veil that give me nothing. Even if they are always on me. I can't stand it. So I decide to try to learn what I can about him - see what makes him tick. Learn the story of how he got that terrible scar. But the more time I spend with him, understanding who he was, who he is, who he was never allowed to become, the more my suspicions melt into something else. Something deeper than I've ever felt for anyone before. Those feelings have to disappear. Because Gahn Thaleo follows the Vrika's word like it is law. He would never choose me without the mate bond being bestowed upon him. And I could never be with someone who didn't truly choose me for themselves.
