“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.”

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 managed to jerk her arms free, knocking a maid away as she scrambled to her feet. She was covered in dirt and sweat, blood dripping from her nose, but she refused to give in.

But before she could fight back any further, the unmistakable sound of heavy footsteps rang out.

Kendra's gaze snapped towards Cain, and she quickly straightened up, ready to speak, but he pushed past her without a single glance. Her jaw locked hard at the way he ignored her. She quickly let go of the annoyance she just felt and rushed into the stable.

"What the fuck is going on here?" Cain growled out, his voice cutting through the air with authority. His eyes scanned the chaotic scene, first landing on the struggling maids, and then flicking to Avery—bloodied and bruised, her clothes torn, and her hair wild.
