A phoenix's blood is priceless. One taste transforms into a drug, a cure, and, unfortunately, an addiction that can unleash the ferocious and wild sides of even the purest being. 

The creatures of the night decimated half of the population of the phoenixes until the strongest declared war on them, which eventually led to a compromise and a sacrifice.

Feared by his people and his family because of the darkness within him,  Ares main goal is to find and claim his betrothed, as she was nothing more than a sacrificial lamb.

What happens he finds warmth and love from the lamb?

What happens when all he wants to do is protect her from the looming darkness and himself?

A creature of the night and a phoenix of light... It is a love that shocked and perilously struck the world.

Betrothed To The Night

Ares was beyond stunned, and he didn't bother to hide his shock. The seriousness in those hypnotic ocean blue eyes. Her face was still, with a vengeful expression. Hatred burned in her eyes....

"Tell me, Ares Erebus Mazitzis, will you give me that?" She widened her eyes, her lips curling up "After all, I'm not getting much out of this deal, am I?"

Ares chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "True," he agreed, his amusement evident.

Eleanor nodded, her tongue darting out to moisten her lips. A movement Ares caught, prompting a slow smile upon his lips. Her unconscious action sent a strange flutter through his stomach, a sensation he'd never experienced before.

Eleanor's eyes narrowed, her eyes flicking up to meet his amused expression. She scowled, irritated that he found her entertaining when she was being earnest.
