He waited five thousand years for her… and the monster inside him refuses to let her go. Isabella sold one night to clear her dead parents’ debt. Instead, she was claimed by an immortal alpha who has waited five thousand years for his fated mate. Lucian Vale is feared as the Ash King — a ruthless monster worshipped by wolves and feared by entire bloodlines. Ancient. Beautiful. Deadly. The kind of man who looks at you like he could either worship you… or ruin you completely. The moment he sees Isabella, the bond snaps into place. She is his. But fate could not have chosen a more dangerous mate. Because beneath Lucian’s control lives a savage wolf drenched in obsession and blood — a beast that once slaughtered eighty-three humans for the woman he loved. Now Isabella is trapped inside Ironhold, Lucian’s cursed estate, surrounded by wolves who hate her, secrets buried in ash, and a bond that grows stronger with every passing night. Lucian swears he will never hurt her. The wolf inside him swears she belongs on her knees at his feet. And as the full moon approaches, Isabella realizes the terrifying truth: If the Ash King loses control… she won’t survive loving him.
