“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

Avery stirred, her body shifting against the soft sheets. A deep warmth spread through her, tugging her from sleep. Her lashes fluttered, a sleepy sigh escaping her lips until she felt it.

A hot, wet tongue dragging slowly over her swollen, sensitive folds.

Avery's breath hitched, her body tensing as pleasure jolted through her like a live wire. Her eyes snapped open, and she let out a sharp gasp, her fingers gripping the sheets beneath her.

Cain was between her legs, his broad shoulders keeping her thighs spread open, his dark eyes staring up at her with raw hunger. His tongue flicked against her clit, slow, teasing, deliberate.

A sharp moan tore from her lips before she could stop it, her back arching off the bed. The sound echoed in the room, but as soon as she heard herself, panic flared. Her hand flew to her mouth, clamping down over it, muffling any more noises.
