Four years ago, my foster uncle and fated mate publicly rejected me.
He locked me in a silver dungeon to die.
Now, I’m designing the wedding dress for his new fiancée—while hiding his son.
Xena
Alexander Hawthorn.
Ruthless Alpha King. Billionaire CEO. My fated mate... and my foster uncle.
I was just a pawn, mind-controlled by a dark warlock to assassinate him.
But one touch broke my curse. One night of passion gave me my wolf—and my freedom.
Then he found the poison I never used.
He didn't listen. He publicly rejected our bond and threw me in his dungeon to be tortured.
I survived the agony, fled into the freezing rain… and took his biggest secret with me.
Now, I’m building a safe life for my boy.
Until my newest client introduces her billionaire fiancé.
Alexander.
He looks at me like he wants to consume me. I just want to claw his eyes out.
But when an assassin targets my son, I have no choice. I must return to the monster who broke me.
Alexander
I thought she was a traitor.
A snake who used the mate bond to lower my defenses.
So I broke the only woman my wolf ever wanted.
Now, her scent is back in my territory.
She’s alive, fierce, and holding a boy with my exact ice-blue eyes.
My mate. My son.
I will slaughter the enemies hunting them.
Then I’ll spend the rest of my life on my knees in the dirt, proving they are mine.
