At the Bride Market, I asked for a marriage with no expectations. The Roc who claimed me promised exactly that—safety high in his mountain aerie, freedom from my uncle’s grasping hands, and solitude I’d been starving for all my life.
I should have asked more about his kind.
Because my gentle giant is changing. Each day his voice slips further away. His golden eyes fix on me with an intensity that steals my breath. He’s stopped eating human food. Stopped pretending to be anything close to civilized.
My uncle arrives with a so-called ‘rescue,’ whispering warnings about what happens to women who marry Rocs. How they vanish. How they’re never seen again.
But when my husband wraps his wings around me, I feel safer than I ever have among humans. When he touches me, heat scorches through my skin. When he looks at me, I see hunger—not to hurt me, but to claim me. To keep me. To make me his.
They say Rocs go mad. That their obsession consumes everything.
But what if this isn’t madness at all?
What if he’s becoming something magnificent—something meant to treasure me, protect me, worship me?
And what if, deep down, I don’t want to be saved?
