Xavier is set to protect the dying races. As a fierce gargoyle warrior, he isn't meant to love deeply. Drake is the last of his kind, and survival isn’t easy.
Xavier recognizes Drake as his true mate the first time they meet. However, Drake’s tormented past has led him to the wrong woman. Xavier must do what he can to save Drake from the choices he’s made.

This isn’t a story of redemption. This is their story.

Excerpt
So began the birth of our child. Coy screamed as she pushed our baby out, and I tried to watch out for both of them, I did. I knew something was wrong though.
The umbilical cord wrapped around the
baby. I looked up at Coy she was struggling. Her head lobbed forward, sweat was
pouring down her face.
“Coy, you listen to me, baby girl. You
can do this. Stay with me.” I didn’t want to alarm her that something was wrong
with the baby but she looked up at me. Tears in her eyes.
“Save her. Please…save her.” My
beautiful Coy, her small face that could practically fit in my palm of my hand,
pleaded. Her eyes were slightly too big, her nose slightly crooked, her lips
were full. Kissable lips that I leaned forward and pressed my own against hers.
My dragon was calling out to her, screaming at her not to leave us. We needed
her. I pressed my forehead to hers.
“Please don’t make me chose. Please
don’t do this to me.” My breath was haggard.
“I’m not making you chose, I am not
giving you a choice. Save her. Please. Love her, and make sure our child
lives.” Coy moved away from me. I had never felt so far from her before. My
heart was breaking and my dragon moved forward. He wanted to destroy the thing
that would take away our Coy, our love. If she continued to push she would kill
both of them, I couldn’t stop her from pushing.
I moved down to our child and unwrapped
the cord. My hands were covered in Coy’s blood in the matter of moments. She
was losing too much, too fast. I looked up at her she was pale. I knew that she
wasn’t going to make it. I didn’t want to go on. I didn’t care anymore. Coy was
the only good thing I had found in this world.
“Drake…”
I was so far retreated in my mind I
allowed the dragon to take over this form. He turned toward the stranger and
snapped his teeth but did nothing more. Something about his scent called to my
dragon, comforted him enough that the rage we were feeling only moments before
started to dissipate. The stranger’s eyes were on my child though.
My child. A growl ripped from my throat
warning him.
“I am not here to hurt you, or her. I
want to help you.”
I
realized that my child was screaming in my arms. I moved the dragon over. He
fought me at first snapping and whipping his tail. He wanted to be charge. I
shoved past him so I could look at my child.
She. It was a girl. Tears stung my eyes.
A girl. Just like Coy had said. I moved next to my dying mate. She was so weak,
barely even breathing but I brought our child next to her.
“It’s a girl. You are always right. I
hope you know that. I always knew you were right. She looks a lot like you. She
has your face, beautiful round cheeks. She has my eyes though, a perfect
mixture of you and me, just like you always said.”
The stranger watched us, but he didn’t
make a sound or move. I appreciated that. In a while I would ask who he was,
what he was doing here. Why he smelled the way he did. My dragon kept pushing
at my mind and I almost let him through. It was becoming too hard to fight. I
looked down at Coy. She had stopped moving all together when I told her it was
girl. I pushed away Coy’s hair and kissed her on the forehead.
