Gluttony (Seven Deadly Sins #1)

by January Rayne

Not many covens have their own coven witch anymore due to them being hunted and burned at the stake, but the Monreaux’s are different. They are the most powerful coven in existence, not only because they have a witch, but they have a Wildes witch.

Loneliness is a disease that sickens you. The only cure is to learn to love your own company because counting on anyone else will leave you more isolated.

Somehow, somewhere, a Grandie slipped through my fingers, and by some miracle, the descendant is in front of me. My Beloved.

I can’t rewrite history, but maybe if I’m lucky, I can make his future better than his past. And we can carve our own names in the universe. We can etch our love into the stars, into the earth, and we can be together forever. Then, history will be made right again. And the Grandie’s will finally get to live. Forever.

“Oh my God, he’s coming over here. What do I do? Let’s go. I need to go. Let’s run,” I blurt, a bit panicked. Sweat beads on my upper lip and I wipe it away.

“I plan on being so much more than your friend, Ollie.” He tugs at one of my estranged curls. “I plan on consuming you and every inch of your life. I’m going to be the man you come to when you need help, when you need to be touched, when you need someone other than yourself. I’m going to make you love me. That’s my plan.”

“You’re afraid of me,” he frowns, leaning back to give me some space. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be so intense. I feel very big emotions for you already, Kitten. I apologize for coming on so strong.”

We aren’t dancing. Not at this point. We are holding one another, and I am starting to wonder if he really is interested in me. If he isn’t, he is an amazing actor, but it doesn’t feel like a lie. This feels... beyond anything I’ve ever experienced before.

“I promise from here on out, you’ll never suffer again. You are my love, my heart, my chance to right all my wrongs. And even if it kills me, I won’t feed from you. I won’t be like my coven. I won’t steal from you. Only if you offer your blood to me, that is when I’ll take it.”
