She's the good girl with a future. He's the bad boy running from his past. When their worlds collide on a rainy Boston night, sparks fly, secrets unravel, and Ava finds herself falling for the one boy who could ruin everything. He's dangerous. She doesn't care. Because sometimes... the heart wants what could destroy it. Can two broken hearts survive the truth or will one unforgettable love story end before it really begins?

Chapter 1 Wrong Never Felt So Right

The sound of rain on glass was usually comforting to Ava Sinclair. She loved the way Boston turned silver in the drizzle, the streetlamps casting golden halos on the wet sidewalks. But tonight was different. The city didn't feel like poetry. It felt like a warning.

She pressed her coat tighter around her chest and walked faster down Tremont Street, the heels of her boots clicking nervously against the pavement. Her phone buzzed again in her pocket-her best friend, Casey, probably reminding her she shouldn't be walking home alone from the library at midnight.

Ava didn't reply. She was too focused on the figure that had been behind her for the last two blocks.

She wasn't the paranoid type, but this felt wrong. Tall, dark hoodie. Black motorcycle helmet tucked under his arm. Not walking fast-but not falling behind either.

She turned into an alley-a shortcut she'd used a hundred times before. The figure followed.

Her breath caught in her throat. Her phone slipped from her fingers and hit the pavement.

Keep walking. Don't panic.

The man behind her finally spoke. "You dropped something."

His voice was rough, low, and... oddly calm.

She stopped, turned slowly, and looked up.

He wasn't what she expected.

Leather jacket. Scuffed boots. Tattoo peeking from under his collar. Dark hair slick from the rain. And eyes-gray, stormy, unreadable.

Not a thug. Not a college kid. Not a killer.

Something in-between.

"Thanks," she said quietly, reaching for the phone he held out. Their fingers brushed.

Then, out of nowhere, he said, "You shouldn't walk through alleys alone, Ava."

Her heart stopped. "How do you know my name?"

A smirk tugged at his lips, but there was no amusement in his eyes. "See you around, good girl."

And just like that, he turned and vanished into the city.

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
