Tears of Tungsten
Once, I thought I was Unblessed. Now, I know I have a gift. But in my world, nothing is without a price and at Chimera Academy, that price has to be paid in tears and blood.
It’s been a couple of months since I’ve become a student at Chimera Academy. I’ve earned some recognition through my efforts and through the Grand Tartarus Tournament. But that progress is a double-edged blade, as August’s chimera, Charybdis, remains dormant, unreachable to us.
All of a sudden, August is deemed unsuitable to form part of the Grant Chimera Unit, and there’s very little I can do to help. Straddled with new tasks and classes, I’m being slowly pushed away from my lovers.
To make matters worse, Brendan’s father, King Philip, seems to be showing interest in me and my family again. And my mother isn’t helping, because she seems to think my new gift is a curse, and not a blessing.
I spend every day telling myself it’s nothing I can’t handle. I wake up, smile, and fight on, hoping I’ll be able to learn enough to protect the people I love.
But at Chimera Academy, even the people I trust have dark secrets and the weight of their choices can crack anything. Cast adrift by a terrible betrayal, I’m guided to a different path, one that leads to the handsome and mysterious alien, Jared Glass.
He claims he wants to free me. He calls me his mate. He wants to breed me, to make me his.I refuse to be owned by anyone. I have a goal—to fight and help my people. And I’ll fulfill it, even if it means I’ll have to turn my tears into tungsten and harden my heart into diamond. I am Selene Renard, and I will destroy my own heart to reach my dream of freedom.
