Jasmine's life had always been a cage, and Alaric, her stepbrother, held the key. His control began subtly, a seemingly protective concern that slowly twisted into a possessive obsession. As the Alpha, his power was absolute. He dictated her friendships, forbade any romantic relationships, and stripped her of all personal freedom.
Her one hope was her twenty-first birthday—a milestone that promised to change everything. She fantasized about finding her true mate, breaking free from Alaric's suffocating grip, and finally living a life of her own. But destiny, it seemed, had a cruel sense of humor.
On the eve of her birthday, her hopes shattered. The person meant to be her one and only was the very man she despised—Alaric, her tormentor, her stepbrother.
The thought of being bound to him was a fate worse than death. How could she be mated to the man who had stolen her youth? A man who would stop at nothing to possess her completely? But in a world where love sours into possession and possession  draws blood, how far can one person truly run before they are forced to face the inevitable?

"Understood," Norlan said immediately, "I'll ghost her entire network. Run a silent data kill across anything she's synced in the last twelve months. She won't even realize it's happening until it's done. And if she's uploaded anything to a third–party host or tried to leak it anonymously, I'll trace it and nuke the source."


I nodded slowly to myself. That's why he was the only person I trusted with this. Norlan wasn't just skilled. He was fucking dangerous when he wanted to be.


"Good. As soon as you are done, let me know," I instructed, "It is time to send her to the same hell she sent me to eleven years ago."


"Alaric? Aren't you concerned that your sister just left without a word?" My father said to me as soon as I stepped into the house.
