He is the realm's most feared Alpha King. She is a runaway slave with a death sentence in her blood. One touch sparked a bond that could break the world. Rhea thought she would die in chains. Instead, she was claimed by Kael Voss—a towering conqueror whose amber gaze promises ruin and whose feral curse only her blood can soothe. When both werewolf armies and vampire lords discover the forbidden royal power waking in her veins, they give Kael an ultimatum: hand her over to the altar, or watch his empire burn. Pulling her into his armored chest before ten thousand blades, the Alpha King gives his answer: "Touch her, and I will tear your immortal souls from your flesh."
