SynopsisIn Clan Asgard, the birth of twins is an unforgivable crime. When Morgana, wife of Beta Cedric, gives birth to identical twins, one is condemned to live in the shadows. To conceal her, Cedric disfigures the face of Sigrid, the second-born twin, and reduces her to a life of servitude. Africa, the firstborn, grows up destined to marry Alpha Asherad and secure the power of their bloodline. However, after the marriage, Africa proves incapable of carrying pregnancies to term, jeopardizing her position and her life. Desperate, she demands that Sigrid sleep with the Alpha and conceive the heir in her place. "From this night forward, you will impersonate me and sleep with the Alpha until you are pregnant with his child." Raised as a tool and deprived of any choice, Sigrid is drawn into a silent pact where her body and identity are used to sustain a power that was never hers.
"I can smell your arousal, Omega. Now stop being stubborn, open those legs wide, and welcome me with gratitude." I looked at him silently. I was soaking wet, but I wasn't going to let any other Alpha use me like this. "I'm sorry, Alpha, but I would have to decline your offer." He froze and stared at me blankly for a moment. He seemed more stunned by the fact that he didn't think anyone could refuse him. Future Alphas and a few select warriors are separated from the Titan pack to undergo grueling training until the current Alpha dies. They are deprived of all forms of pleasure and denied mates until they return, when they are allowed to have sex with any woman and release their sexual tension until they are blessed with mates. I was one of the slaves who were dragged away from my pack after a raid. I was there to scrub floors and wash dishes while remaining invisible until I stumbled upon the Alpha who was said to be ruthless, and he asked me to mount him. I politely declined. It greatly disconcerted him. Every woman would die to ride him, but I, a slave of the lowest rank of Omegas, had the courage to refuse him.
