Odette thought her world ended the night her father was murdered. Blind, sheltered, and suddenly powerless, she’s thrown into the hands of Evander, the cold, ruthless Alpha who ordered her father’s death.
Evander rules with iron control, feared as both Alpha of his pack and Boss of the underworld. He doesn’t believe in love. He doesn’t believe in mates. But the moment Odette enters his life, she awakens the instincts he’s spent years silencing.
She swears she hates him. He insists he doesn’t need her. Yet every glance, every breath, every clash of wills threatens to break them both.
A dangerous bond ties them together, one born of blood, power, and a desire neither of them can escape.
Will Odette remain a prisoner in his world, or will she become the one thing Evander cannot control?

"Oh Madam, don't say such words again, lest if someone hears you we will both be done for," Mara said, panicked, her voice tight like she was holding her breath.


I scoffed. "Oh please, like I care. Besides, who could hear me from such distance? No one with such hearing existed." My tone came out annoyed, sharp, defensive.


Mara let out a sigh. A long, shaky sigh.


"Oh, Madam," was all she said. And because I couldn't see her face, her eyes, her mouth, I could only imagine. But the way her words dragged, soft and low, it was like she was telling me I was wrong. Like she knew something I didn't.


But I pushed it away. I decided not to pursue it, not to ask, because maybe I was just overthinking again. Besides, I was right—no one had hearing like that. Not unless they weren't… human.


Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Mara, leave. I’ll be fine on my own.
