What if the monster you were sold to wasn't the real danger?

They call him the Monster. Nine wives. Nine graves. No heirs.

I was supposed to be the tenth.

Sold by my family to save a sister who betrayed me, I thought survival meant staying invisible.

 But when I healed Alpha Kael Cinderclaw in the snow, I accidentally bound us together, a mate bond neither of us wanted and neither can sever.

Now I feel his rage like fire beneath my skin.

 He feels my fear like a blade against his throat. And the fortress that buried nine wives is watching us both.

My family wanted me erased.
His enemies want me dead.

And Kael? He looks at me like I'm the one thing he can't afford to want—but can't let go.

They wanted a sacrifice.
They're getting an awakening.
In a world where power is everything, the wolfless girl just became the Alpha's greatest weakness, and his most dangerous obsession.

By the time I reached her wing, I wasn't walking in as her nephew.


And I wasn't walking in as someone asking for answers.


The guards stationed outside Seraphina's chambers straightened the moment they saw me approach, their posture tightening in a way that told me they already knew something was coming. Word had spread faster than anyone could contain it. It always did when the balance of power started to shift.


That was the first confirmation I needed.


I pushed the doors open without waiting to be announced.


Seraphina was inside, exactly where I knew she would be, standing near the far end of the room with her back partially turned. The moment the doors shut behind me, she spoke without looking over her shoulder.


"You've been moving faster than usual," she said calmly. "I was wondering how long it would take before you came to me again."
