Valoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive.

A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy.

He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored.

"You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet."

He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art.

But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left.

And the damning part? She's starting to crave it.

But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know.

This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life.

He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him.

The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroy

WARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart.

Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).

I'm grateful for the fact that the very next day we begin packing up to leave this place I once called home. Finally.


It no longer has anything left for me, not for a while.


Due to Father's involvement in plotting against the crown and committing treason, all his assets are to be seized and absorbed by the crown; the servants are to be let go, and my siblings—each of my sisters, for being tied to the once-prestigious Wilderose house—are all to be taken into custody.


All but myself, for no longer having ties with them, and Sister Lyra, due to her ties with the Temple of the Moon Goddess.


In one night, the prestigious Wilderose family crumbles into nothing by the hands of one man.


"You! You ruined this family, you worthless whore!" Father screams as he's being led out of the house, to be transferred to the castle prison.


I finally see what Marcella had meant last night, and truly, he'd be better off dead right now.
