Avery

I don't have any family.

Everyone who was supposed to love me left.

Until he walked in on my shift.

He made my heart race and my body tingle.

I fell hard for him, and he became my world.

I was bound for him, but he wasn't bound for me.

He grew distant, and then I found out he wasn't who he said he was. His whole demeanor changed instantly.

He's a killer, an underboss for the Bratva Pakhan that I didn't even know existed outside of movies.

He didn't give me a chance to come to terms with it. Instead, he threw me away, just like everyone else.

He broke me after I spent years putting myself back together.

I try to move on from him and concentrate on my upcoming residency.

But then I find out I'm pregnant with his child.

Sergi

She was the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen.

She was pure, not from our world, and had suffered a lot from life.

But I was selfish; my whole body tingled just being near her; she was mine.

Then I lose myself, push her away, and she finds out who I am.

She runs without looking back, destroying me.

I make mistakes I can't take back and hurt her even more.

She gives up on us, on me.

But I can't let her go; I can't give up.

I will win her back, whether she likes it or not.

She's bound for me.
