Eighteen-year-old Lina never shifted. She never belonged. So when her father sells her to a slave auction, she expects pain, chains, and humiliation. She doesn’t expect him. Prince Kai of the Northern Pack doesn’t need a mate—especially not a trembling, untouched girl with nothing but fear in her eyes. But the moment he sees her displayed on that stage, naked and silent, he pays ten million and claims her for himself. She doesn’t know why he bought her. He won’t even speak to her. But every time she flinches, he watches. Every time she cries, he touches. And every night… he makes her sleep beside him, untouched but completely owned. She was supposed to be a body. A pet. A thing. But the Alpha Prince doesn’t want her obedience. He wants her surrender. And he’ll take it one trembling kiss at a time.
