looking for recs with a crazily possessive and protective mmc possibly with a mentor role and lots of yearning

i just finished forged in blood/promised in blood by sadie kincaid and i am thirsting for more mmcs like alexandros. any sub genre is fine. here’s a little more detail about what i mean by this (and of course recs don’t have to have all of these things):

  • mmc is fiercely protective of fmc
  • mmc is possessive as hell
  • mmc provides guidance to fmc (professor/mentor type role)
  • mmc yearns so hard for fmc, is devoted to her, worships her
  • mmc is only soft for fmc
  • dom/sub dynamic
  • “touch her and die”
  • fated mates
  • mmc is initially aloof and cold to fmc

and here’s a quote that kind of sums up the feelings of this type of mmc: “i have surely loved her before, and i will find and love her through every incarnation until the end of time itself”

no fake dating please but otherwise i’m fine with anything

thank you so much in advance!!
