"On the bed." My new master, the Alpha of Drogomor, commanded.

I walked toward the bed, naked, ashamed, and full of tears.

I was about to lose my virginity, but it meant nothing to the man who was going to take it.
***
I am Rosalie, 20 years old, sold to the most terrifying alpha by my own father.

"You're nothing to me but a breeder." he said to me cruelly.

I had long known that my love for him was hopeless and foolish. However, I was naïve to think that was the end of the story.

Once the baby is born, I will be put to death.
***
People thought I was dead, but I survived.

"It's you!" He grabbed my hand, and his eyes were filled with emotions I couldn't understand. "Come back to me, Rosalie."

"Sorry." I calmly looked back at him, "but I think you've got the wrong person."

Sold as the Alpha King's Breeder

I ran. I didn’t know what else to do. The forest passed in a blur as I worked my way through the dense underbrush, trying to put as much distance as I could from the battle taking place in the clearing that had once been our camp.


I couldn’t hear anything taking place at our camp from my hiding spot beneath the trees, but then a scream had ripped through the forest… then another, then another. After the third scream, I jumped to my feet and ran like my life depended on it. 


If Jared was still alive, which seemed unlikely, he’d find me. 


Jared’s wolf had been a shock, almost as shocking as the situation I found myself in now… Black as night with crimson eyes, large and agile. 


But that shadow he cast as he sprinted away from me was what had stunned me. It was a part of him, something tethered to his soul that he couldn’t shake. It was… power, a dark power… something he couldn’t control.
