“End her. Burn her body.”

Those words slipped cruelly from the lips of my destined one—my mate.

He stole my innocence, rejected me, stabbed me, and ordered my execution on our wedding night. I lost my wolf and was cast into a merciless world, left to endure the pain alone.

But that night changed everything.

One moment, I was the rightful heir of my pack.

The next, I became a slave to the ruthless Lycan King—a man teetering on the edge of madness.

Cold.

Deadly.

Unforgiving.

His presence was hell incarnate. His name, a whispered terror.

Yet he claimed I was his.

His beast craved me.

Unlike the mate I once believed in, he said, “No one may harm you or dispose of you without my explicit permission.”

Now, trapped in his dominant world, I must survive the dark grasp of the King who holds my fate in his hands. But within this brutal reality lies something far more dangerous…

A primal destiny neither of us can escape.
