He's power, danger, and darkness all rolled into one. And now... he owns me. A feared Mafia boss. A forced marriage. A heart trapped between hate and desire. Every glance, every touch, every whispered word pulls me deeper into his world-a world of secrets, power, and obsession. I despise him. I fear him. Yet, I can't resist the way he ignites something inside me I never knew existed. In a game of control and passion, love and pain blur-and obsession becomes irresistible. Will I survive the man I was forced to marry... or will I lose myself entirely in his dangerous embrace?

Dive deep into a world of cyber-espionage, moral ambiguity, and a "cat-and-mouse" romance full of tension and chemistry. Zinc66©2026. All Rights Reserved.

Mabel Omotetore Osio had just two plans before the end of Hellfire April. The first was to defend her project thesis - the one she had poured money, sweat, and sleepless nights into. The second was to leave Queen Idia University behind and run straight back to her waiting family. None of those plans included assault. A near-death experience. Or human traffickers. And they certainly did not include him. Augustine Romanov. The Lycan who found her. The monster who claimed her. And the man who refuses to let her go. Thrown into a world with claws and bloodied fangs, Mabel quickly learns that not all cages are not made of iron. Some cages are made of flesh and bone. And a mate... is the cruelest cage of all.
