When the Eclipse Pack approaches him with an offer, Alpha Theo Stormblade doesn't ask why. He only asks one thing: "How much do they want?" Theo-once the Kingdom's most beloved, extroverted leader-has spent the last five years carved into stone. Cold. Detached. Unreachable. Since the death of his mate, the legendary Alpha has refused every attempt to push him toward a new bond. But when the elders insist he must produce an heir, Theo agrees to only one thing: A contract. A surrogate. Nothing more. Millie Rose has spent her entire life being overlooked. An orphan. A servant. A maid in one of the poorest packs in the Kingdom. Her parents were once powerful warriors, but Millie's future has been reduced to scrubbing floors, obeying orders, and surviving on scraps of respect. Until her pack sells her. When the Eclipse Pack hears the Stormblade Alpha is seeking a woman capable of bearing a strong heir, they offer Millie-quiet, obedient Millie-in exchange for desperately needed money. She meets every requirement on paper. Except one: She has no idea how dangerous Theo truly is. Brought to the Stormblade Kingdom under the terms of a cold-blooded agreement, Millie expects chains of duty. Theo expects silence and submission. But the moment their eyes meet, something ancient stirs-something neither of them agreed to, and something Theo refuses to acknowledge. He wants an heir. He does not want a heart. Millie wants freedom. She does not want to fall for the wolf who bought her. But fate has plans neither contract can contain. When secrets rise, desire ignites, and old wounds begin to bleed, one question remains: Will Millie become nothing more than the mother of his heir... or the Luna who heals a broken Alpha?

Was Victor not the shy recluse Anubis pictured him to be? After all, all monsters hide in plain sight. | • | Excerpt: She let out a shaky breath, letting the soothing feeling of warm water run down her body. She swallowed and tired her head to the side, letting the warm water run down her neck. Had what she saw been real? No, it couldn't be. Victor wasn't like that. Right? She continued to wash herself, blissfully unaware of the storm brewing in her apartment. Not long into the shower, she felt a large hand touch her upper back. Anubis froze, fear gripping her being. The large hand traveled south, ending at her lower back. "L-Luca this isn't funny. Quit it a-already." She choked out, to afraid to move. The hand retracted and at that very moment, she turned around. Nothing. Her breath quickened as she covered her breasts. Quickly stopping the water, she opened the curtains and grabbed her towel. A scream nearly escapees her lips as she saw what was on her mirror. 'MY NAME IS NOT LUCA.' ✨ - UPDATED EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY !
