“Will you die for them?”
The Alpha King’s voice was cold enough to silence the hall. And Althea heard the answer long before she spoke it… not from herself, but from the minds screaming around her.
‘Just sacrifice yourself.’
‘You’re nothing.’
‘You should die for us.’
Her gift or curse let her hear and read every hateful thought, every desperate plea. And even then, she still stepped forward. She chose to protect the weak, the innocent, the only ones who had ever shown her kindness… even if the price was her life.
But Gavriel Kingsley, the Alpha King, didn’t kill her.
He wanted something else.
Ownership.
"You are mine now," His voice barely above a whisper.
“As a slave?!”
The King chuckled, his gaze dark as midnight. “As my breeder.”
Marrying Adrian Sinclair was never part of Isabella Levine's life.
The arranged marriage with the powerful Sinclair family was meant for her older half-sister, until the bride ran away with another man.
Just as the wedding was about to fall apart, Adrian looked at Isabella and uttered two words that changed her life forever.
"She'll do."
At eighteen, Isabella became the replacement bride of the ruthless heir to the Sinclair family, then was sent abroad to finish medical school.
Five years later, she returns with one goal: to end the marriage that had existed only on paper.
So when she finally returns home with signed divorce papers in hand, she expects Adrian to let her go. But the husband who never called, visited, or even acknowledged her refuses to sign.
Instead, he offers her a deal.
Three months to prove their marriage is worth saving.
What Isabella doesn't know is that Adrian Sinclair never makes a move without something to gain.
And before those three months are over, she'll find herself caught in a dangerous web of family ambition, buried secrets, and a man whose true intentions are far more complicated than she ever imagined.
The closer the deadline draws... The less willing Adrian becomes to let her go.
