Feral
(2027)A collection of stories by Cassandra Aston, Amber Bunch, Dawn Darling, Isabella Khalidi and Charlotte Mallory
Red was my prisoner.
Oh, I know. The irony isn't lost on me.
It all began with an apple, a murdered queen, and a blood oath neither of us should have made.
Her grandmother is dead, and I got her out before whoever did it came back to finish the job. She doesn't see it that way. She's convinced I'm the killer, that I stole her the night I saved her life, and every proof I offer just makes her trust me less.
She thought I'd stolen her to claim her the way every man in her life eventually tries. I swore an oath to prove I hadn't: I won't touch her unless she asks.
I didn't plan on the bond. I didn't plan on falling for the one person in the kingdom who thinks I'm a murderer.
She was raised to be a crown, not a woman. I was raised to be a weapon, not a mate. She still thinks I'm the monster in this story. I'm not going anywhere until she stops believing it.
FERAL is a dark, fast fae-shifter romance: one-sided enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, one bed, one bargain, and a hero who doesn't ask twice. Interconnectede standalone with a HEA you won't stop thinking about.
Intended for readers 18+. Dark themes, morally gray characters, and spice that earns every bit of the "vicious" in the series title.
