“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. 

Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips  “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” 

"I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.”

Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?”

As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy. But on the day of her arranged marriage to Alpha Lucian, her world crumbles. Rejected, humiliated, and cast aside for her own cousin, Avery barely escapes with her life only to find out a much deeper secret. One that changes everything. 

When Avery awakens, she finds herself in a foreign land, caught by the ruthless guards of the Vehiron pack, led by the infamous Alpha Cain. Tall, broad and as dangerous as the army he commands. 

Alpha Cain has a reputation that sends chills down the spine of even the most dangerous warriors. Haunted by his dark past, he has vowed never to take a mate, yet the moment he lays eyes on Avery, everything changes.

With a single word, Avery is bound to Cain—whether he wants it or not. In a world where betrayal runs deep, can Avery ever trust the alpha who might just be her worst enemy.

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

The air was thick with tension. The gathered warriors stood before Cain, their eyes hard with determination. The battlefield hadn't been chosen yet, but the war had already begun the moment Matt made the mistake of going against him.

Cain stood at the front, his presence alone commanding absolute silence. He scanned the faces before him—men and women who had fought for him, killed for him, bled for him. And tonight, they would do it again.

"This is not a fight for mercy," Cain began, his voice carrying across the courtyard, steady and sharp. "This is a war of vengeance. A war of dominance. Matt tried to have me killed, and in doing so, he sealed the fate of every man and woman who stands with him."

A growl of agreement rumbled through the warriors.

"Anyone who stands in our way dies," Cain continued, his voice dropping lower, deadlier. "Burn everything. Spill their blood. Leave no survivors unless I say otherwise."
