who is he

darius has spent centuries making bargain after bargain searching for one person.

his mate.

by the time he finally finds rae, everyone already knows who he is. he’s charming, confident, ridiculously attractive, and the kind of man people naturally gravitate toward.

except rae.

while everyone else wants him, she couldn’t be less interested, and honestly… i think that’s exactly what hooks him.

he’s confident enough to know she’ll come around, possessive enough to make sure no one else gets the chance, and patient enough to let her figure it out in her own time.

and when he realizes she’s the one he’s been searching for all these years?

there’s no turning back.
