The air was thick with ash and blood.
Luna ran.
Her breath tore through her lungs like splinters. Branches sliced across her bare arms as she darted between the trees, the forest alive with snarls, howls, and the thundering of boots behind her. Fires crackled somewhere in the distance, lighting the night in pulsing orange flares, but she didn't dare look back.
She'd already seen enough-her pack's stronghold burning, warriors torn apart, her brother's scream cut off midshift.
This wasn't just a raid. It was a purge.
And the devil leading it? They called him The Savage.
Her feet pounded the damp earth as if the rhythm alone could beat back the dread pooling in her gut. She had no weapon, no wolf-her first shift had never come-and now, without her brother or her pack, she had no protection.
"Fan out!" a voice bellowed in the dark, gravel-edged and cold. "She's close."
Luna skidded behind a wide oak, pressing her back to the bark as her pulse stuttered. Her legs trembled. The bond under her skin-thin, dormant for years-suddenly flared to life. Her body reacted before her mind could process it.
He's near...
She clenched her jaw. No. It wasn't possible.
Then the silence fell. A heavy, unnatural stillness.
And he stepped into it.
Lucien DeVark.
The Savage Alpha.
He emerged from the smoke like a demon from myth-tall, broad, bare-chested, his torso slick with blood that wasn't his. Golden eyes burned in the dark, glowing with an unnatural light, and when they locked onto hers, the air snapped.
"Found you," he said softly, almost like a lover would.
Luna turned to run, but it was too late.
In a blur, he was in front of her, slamming her back against the tree with one hand wrapped around her throat. Not tight. Just enough to make her heart thunder.
"So small," he murmured, eyes raking over her. "And yet, you've got the blood of a traitor in you."
"Let me go," she rasped.
He tilted his head, sniffing the air. His grip faltered for half a second.
Then it happened.
The snap-not of bone, but of fate. The mate bond roared to life between them like wildfire. Heat surged under her skin. His eyes widened in something like shock.
"You... can't be."
Luna's lips trembled. "No," she whispered. "No, no, no-"
Lucien's fangs extended slowly. Not from hunger.
From rage.
"I am not your mate," she said, spitting the word like venom.
But they both felt it. The pull. The heat. The bond.
And it changed everything.
Because now she wasn't just a rogue.
She was his.
And he'd burn down the world before letting her go.
After two years of marriage, Sadie was finally pregnant. Filled with hope and joy, she was blindsided when Noah asked for a divorce. During a failed attempt on her life, Sadie found herself lying in a pool of blood, desperately calling Noah to ask him to save her and the baby. But her calls went unanswered. Shattered by his betrayal, she left the country. Time passed, and Sadie was about to be wed for a second time. Noah appeared in a frenzy and fell to his knees. "How dare you marry someone else after bearing my child?"
"I'm going to tell you what I have in mind," he murmured. "First you're going to strip down until you're completely naked," he whispered against her ear. "Then I'm going to tie you up so you're completely powerless and subject to my every whim." "Mmm, sounds good so far," she murmured. "Then I'm going to insert a plug to prepare you for me. After that I'm going to spank that sweet ass of yours until it's rosy with my marks." She shivered uncontrollably, her mind exploding with the images he evoked. She let out a small whimper as he sucked the lobe of her ear into his mouth. God, she could cum with just his words. She was already aching with need. Her nipples tingled and hardened to painful points. Her clit pulsed and twitched between her legs until she clamped her thighs together to alleviate the burn. "And then I'm going to f**k your mouth. But I won't cum. Not yet. When I'm close, I'll flog you again until your ass is burning and you're on fire with the need for relief. And then I'm going to f**k that ass. I'm going to take you hard and rough, to the very limits of what you can withstand. I won't be gentle. Not tonight. I'm going to take you as roughly as you can stand. And then I'm going to cum all over your ass. Are you ready to be completely and utterly dominated?"
Joelle thought she could change Adrian's heart after three years of marriage, but she realized too late that it already belonged to another woman. "Give me a baby, and I'll set you free." The day Joelle went into labor, Adrian was traveling with his mistress on his private jet. "I don't care whom you love. My debt is paid. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other." Not long after Joelle left, Adrian found himself begging on his knees. "Please come back to me."
