"How much do they want?" I asked, as the maid poured us another round of whisky. "They're prepared to make negotiations on the price, Alpha. They need the money." Boris, my beta, sipped his drink. "What about the girl?" I sighed, leaning back in my chair and placing my hands behind my head. "Where is she ranked in the pack?" "She's a maid. However, Alpha Orion stated that the girl satisfies health requirements. She will give you a strong heir." --- Theo Stormblade, the Alpha of the Kingdom's most feared, strongest pack. When his mate died five years ago, he became cold, heartless, and distant from his pack. Different from the open, kind, extroverted leader he once was. When his cabinet of elders approached him about finding another mate, he disagreed, negotiating only to produce an heir. Millie Rose was born into the Eclipse pack, one of the poorest, smallest packs in the entire Kingdom. She was left an orphan and a maid after her parents, who were once among the strongest fighters in her pack, suddenly passing away when she was fourteen years old. When the Eclipse pack hears about Alpha Theo's hunt for a surrogate, they quickly reach out and make a deal, offering Millie to the well-feared Alpha in exchange for some cash. Will Millie be able to escape the life of a maid at last, and will Theo be able to change his heart after losing his beloved mate?

"You were his fiancée," he said, his deep, husky voice sending a pleasure wave to my gaping hole, "but lost you due to his carelessness." I moaned, feeling his hand trailing close to my anticipating cunt, "No talking of another man now," his finger brushed my clit, "You are mine now!" He growled and dove a finger in me. *** After catching her fiance in bed with another woman a few days before their wedding, Emily Waston was devastated and angry.
