Xeros Romanov. The last Lycan alive and the Alpha king of all werewolves. Fated to be without a mate for all of eternity. He was terrifyingly cruel and vicious and ruled his people with an iron fist. That all seems to change when he sets his sight on sweet and innocent Cassie, The cursed daughter of an Alpha of a distant pack. He had the world in his grasp but somehow the sweet and untainted girl would become his world.

Everyone knows Velvet Delacroix as the wild, untouchable daughter of the Minister of Defense. Beautiful, defiant, and dangerously impulsive. When her latest stunt nearly topples her father's political career, Elias Delacroix decides she doesn’t need another lecture— She needs control. Which is why he hires her a bodyguard. Or more accurately... a handler. Dominic Halveth is a retired special forces captain with a reputation for getting the job done—ruthless methods, zero patience, and a commanding presence that silences a room. Cold. Unbending. Unshakable. The perfect man to tame Velvet. Or so her father thinks. But Velvet isn’t just a spoiled politician’s daughter. She’s clever, calculated, and hiding more than anyone realizes. Every smirk is a dare, every step a test—and Dominic? He’s the first man who doesn’t flinch when she pushes. He bites back—hard. What starts as a war of control becomes something darker, desire burns hotter—twisted with secrets neither of them are ready to confront. Dominic has his motives. Velvet has her secrets. But when obsession enters the battlefield, someone is going to surrender… Can taming Velvet keep her safe, or will it destroy them both?
