“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

The force of Alec’s rejection tore through me in a ripple of agony. It was as if my soul had been shredded by the words he had uttered. If I hadn’t already been sitting, I would have collapsed.


“Alec!” Rhys bellowed, rushing out to follow his Alpha. He had only seen the tail end of our altercation. The Goddess only knew what he thought had happened. I liked to think of Rhys as her friend, but I knew that his loyalty had always and would always lie with Alec. Would he hate me for this? Or worse, would he hate his Alpha for rejecting me?


With a sick feeling, I realized that I might never know. They would leave the Palace of the Moon Maidens soon, and as much as I hated to admit it, there was a substantial possibility that I would never see either of them again.


“What have I done?” I choked out, faced with the horror of the situation.
