(TRIGGER WARNING: DARK THEMES AND MATURE CONTENT)


Imagine being a powerless witch, the lowest of the supernatural food chain, when you're from a bloodline of some of the most powerful witches in the planet. 


Yeah. Tragic.


But now on top of that, imagine finding out that you're the fated mate of some cold, ruthless Alpha King who's rumored to bath in the blood of his enemies and eat little witches for dinner. That's just bad luck at this point.



But it's the life of Odessa Pierce.

–––––

In a modern Earth torn by a century long war between the werewolves and witches, with humans stuck in the middle, Odessa Pierce's life is changed forever. 


She's unexpectedly chosen by the Alpha King of the North American region himself to be his BRIDE to seal a "truce".
 

However, in a shocking twist, she discovers that she's mated to the ruthless Alpha King and now has to navigate her growing feelings for a man she thought she'd hate, while still trying to survive in a world that's out to eliminate her kind. 


As ancient prophecies and dangerous enemies arise, will she be able to pierce through the dark veil clouding the Alpha King's heart and make him accept her? Or will their forbidden romance ultimately crumble under the brunt of the secrets and 
revelations that begin sprouting? And what will be her role in this never-ending war? 



Follow Odessa and Kaelos in a dark, delicious ride filled with magic, lust, blood, and the kind of chaos only fate can create.

EXCERPT: 


"Odessa..." His whisper brought me back to reality, causing me to flutter my eyelids as I brought my gaze back to his silver eyes. "Focus. Tell me to shove it in."


Argh, what's his fucking problem?


"Since when do you care about what I think?" 


"I don't." He suddenly responded, causing me to clench my jaw. "If I wanted to, I'd simply tie you up without saying a thing and then fuck you until the entire pack hears you screaming my name. But..."



He paused, his smirk turning into a grin as he brought his mouth to my ear and whispered. "... I want to see you beg for it. I want to see you grovel at my feet, pleading for the sweet release of me fucking you. The mate bond has heightened your sex drive, hon. And I'm the only one capable of taming it."

While Odessa and Kaelos were probably out there enjoying their field trip in Mexico, he was stuck here in the Blood Oak pack dealing with the fallout that came after the riot.


Well, to be fair, he's the one who manipulated the people to turn the protest into something violent and chaotic, but hey... He was bored.


A little death here and there never hurt anyone— well, except for the people it did hurt.


After the riots, Marcellus, Elder Davina, Layla and High priestess Althea were standing just outside the Alpha King's mansion. 


It was nighttime, and there was still simmering tension left from the riot. Everyone present had solemn expressions on their faces and was silent for a while.


"I called the Alpha King and informed him of the riot." Layla began, clearing her throat. "He said he'll handle it when he and the Luna Queen get back."
