"Fate is tricky and her time is limited. She can love without reason, and forgive without thought - that is her curse and her gift. Be that as it may, the wolf will remain by Red Riding Hood's side for all eternity, for she is a lady, and he, a monster." - Aleksandra.

Van Volkov was born with a curse, a demon who lives inside his mind, and a promise to protect. Having lived his entire life for the sake of others, he has created a still wall that surrounds him self - impenetrable, just like his heart. Revered as a god by humans and a murderer by his own kind, he lives in secrecy, letting few humans know that he is one of four pure lycan's left in the human's world.

That all changes when he rescues a human child after her family are killed by rogue shifters. Vowing never to acknowledge her existences, or his rare act of kindness, he struggles with the fact that she could be the key to breaking down his steel walls and unlocking his buried humanity.

But how do find your humanity when you're not really human at all?

Aira Bright was six years old when she witnessed her entire family's death. Taken in by a doctor and his kind wife, Aria slowly but surely recovers from her trauma. As she grows, Aria is supported financially and academically by a supposed stranger, but she knows her savior is watching over her, and her one wish is to help her cold and angry hero feel compassion and love - the same sort of compassion and love he has shown Aria her entire life - although he might not know it.
