“I am going to take you,” he growled, his hands roaming over my body, his fingers rolling my sensitive nipples between his thumbs and index fingers. “I am going to take you, until you can only scream and beg me for more.

“If you truly belong to me,” my abuser whispered, tilting the vial of dark green poison, “this wolfsbane will tear your bond apart.”

The moment the liquid hit my tongue, agony exploded through my veins. I screamed as fire ripped through my body, my muscles locking, my lungs burning as I collapsed against the cold iron restraints. My adopted brother—the Alpha who had kept me locked in the dark for nine years—watched with cold, dead eyes. “She’s filth,” Draven snarled to his men. “She doesn’t deserve to be my mate.”

But deep inside my chest, something vital twisted. An invisible force wrapped around my heart, pulling, tugging. My mind fractured into flashes: golden eyes filled with fury, a voice calling my name in pain.

Miles away, the Lycan King shattered the stone table of his war council.

“Mate,” his inner beast roared, raw with panic. “Mate is breaking.”

When the King finally found me, I was a broken, bleeding mess on the dungeon floor. The sheer force of his aura blew the heavy iron doors off their hinges. His golden eyes burned molten red as he dropped to his knees, gathering my limp body against his massive chest. “Who did this to you?” his voice was a lethal, vibrating growl that promised the slaughter of an entire pack. “I will tear their skin from their bones.”

I saw the scar on my face, it burned and had inflamed my cheek so that it was swollen. My eyes were red from the tears.

My hair was dull and limp over my skull. My purple eyes were the only piece of me that still held some semblance of life.

I could see scars even on my neck, and I knew that my body was even more scarred, and even more pathetic...

“Keep being my fiancée, and I can pretend nothing happened tonight.”

That was the first thing my fiancé said to me after I publicly exposed the video of him cheating.
