𝑷𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏𝒔 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒗𝒂𝒍. But Aiden has never had any of that. Born with the rare gift of healing, the world sees his magic as a blessing-but to him, it's nothing more than a curse. His magic is draining, painful, and endlessly exploited by those stronger than him. In a realm where magic is a weapon and kindness a weakness, Aiden survives by keeping his head down and his heart closed. But the fragile balance of his life shatters when he crosses paths with an enigmatic prince. What begins as pure hatred between them slowly twists into something far more dangerous and consuming-desire. Driven by a restless need to uncover the true nature of the power running through his blood, Aiden is thrust into a year-long journey that challenges everything he thought he knew about survival, friendship, loyalty... and the cost of a forbidden love.

When Alistair Melek gave his life to the sea, various degrees of things changed. For starters, his love for bloodshed was amplified. Bolder. He was drawn to the clash of a sword, blood spilling below the floorboards, like a moth drawn to a flame. And this love was damned to spread through his crew as some treacherous disease, claiming any and all who joined. But he knew this was the price he'd pay. The price for the sea itself. So when his crew completes another standard loot and pillage from a merchant ship, he allows his men a bit of fun. He liked to give them an audience, rounding up those who didn't fall victim to the blade during battle, and forcing them to beg for their lives. To prove how much they really wanted to live. Alistair had ruled the sea for some years now. Killed thousands, maybe tens of thousands. Destroyed hundreds, maybe thousands of vessels. And yet, each feeble human was all the same. There was not one man he threatened that didn't beg for their lives with all they had in them when faced with the wrong end of the sword. Each feeble human was always the same. Or so he thought. And yet, he also thought that this would be a standard job. A treat for his men after a night of good work. But this particular survivor, the one with long white hair and dead-looking eyes... He wasn't a merchant. He couldn't have been. More importantly, there was no hesitancy when Alistair asked the fairly built man whether he wanted to live, and the man replied with a simple no.

"You came to kill me," Roman growled, his teeth at Liam's throat. "Now you'll live as mine." ____________ Ten years ago, Liam Sullivan watched his father die at the hands of Cassius Grayson-Alpha of the Shadow Ridge Pack.

But when Cassius died unexpectedly, Liam's blind rage shifted toward Roman Grayson, Cassius's son and heir, Liam's ex-best friend... and the boy who once stole his heart. Roman isn't the boy Liam once knew. He's a force of nature; cold, commanding, and hiding a devastating secret: he's not just an Alpha. He's an Enigma, a creature of legend with power beyond comprehension. When Liam's reckless attack fails, Roman doesn't kill him. Instead, he claims him, binding Liam to him with a mark, and a brutal, public claiming that shatters Liam's pride. But beneath Roman's cruelty lies something darker: obsession, possession, and the ghost of a love Liam thought was long dead. Trapped in Roman's world, Liam must confront the truth about his father's death, about Roman's twisted devotion, and about the concealed feelings he carried for Roman all these years. A dark, erotic tale of betrayal, revenge, obsession, and fated love set in a supernatural world where power is intoxicating, and submission can be sweeter than vengeance.
