Lara's POV
Austin represents everything I ever imagined my destined mate would be. His striking appearance takes my breath away, those incredible kisses leave me dizzy, and his natural magnetism draws me in completely. His smile transforms his entire face, radiating warmth that makes my heart skip. The longer we talk, the more his sharp intelligence becomes apparent. I shouldn't be surprised since making it into the Academy requires exceptional intellect. But with him, I never feel the need to over-explain myself. He understands me on a level that feels effortless.
