“Are you here to save me?” I asked bitterly, thinking of the look in my father’s eyes as he tried to wring the life out of me. “Or are you just here to bring me gifts and false hope?”
The stranger didn’t answer, but I could feel his presence as he approached. Still, I didn’t turn to face him, even when I felt a warm, gentle hand squeeze my shoulder.
Abused. Neglected. Caged. 
That’s how Princess Ember, the daughter of the Alpha King of Allusia, has spent her young life. Sold like chattel to another Alpha in exchange for the promise of warriors for her father against an uprising, Ember’s life feels like it might be over. 
But a stranger comes to her in the night, her only refuge from the daily attacks from her father.  Will he be her savior? Or will she just find herself in another gilded cage?

An Alpha for the Stolen Princess

As the cart rolled along the dusty road, the familiar sights and sounds of a large group of people drew nearer. I looked up the road and realized that we had caught up with the rogue carnival’s caravan. As we approached, I saw Sawyer hop off a tall cart and stand off to the side as our cart rolled closer. When we were close enough, he started walking alongside us with a broad smile on his face.


"Lovely Lady Lauryn, what an unexpected pleasure to see you again so soon!" He smiled. “I suppose you did miss me more than I hoped.”


Lauryn scoffed and rolled her eyes. “You can stop while you’re already so far behind.” 


Sawyer grinned. “I think I’m further ahead than you want to admit. You’re here, aren’t you?”


“That’s what you think,” he said with a grin. “But I think I have enough time to convince you otherwise.”
