The Beast & The Beauty 1 - Wild Heart

He was a monster who had never been loved. She was the fire who dared to tame him. Cassius Winfield has spent six years searching for his fated mate—the one person who can silence the beast inside him. But the Moon Goddess seems to have abandoned him. Without his mate, his control is slipping, and the wolf within is growing bolder. Every day, he inches closer to the edge of no return. Cecily Beaumont has no time for fairy tales. Raising her five-year-old sister alone while working at a diner and scraping through high school, she's learned that survival is the only thing that matters. When a chance encounter at a pack ball brings them together, Cassius knows instantly that Cecily is his. But Cecily is human—and she has no idea that werewolves exist, let alone that she's the mate of an Alpha who has killed without mercy. Can Cecily tame the beast before he destroys them both?
