❝Why do you not reject me?❞ She demanded.

His dark gaze drunk in the sight of her. He licked his lips and met her eyes. A shiver ran down her spine. Heat pooled between her thighs. He sniffed the air, pupils dilating until nothing but a ring of green remained. She bit her lip and his eyes followed.

❝Because, you are mine.❞ He replied.

Hands reached out to pull her close to his body. Teeth grazed the pulse on her neck. Fingers thread through luscious locks of hair and tugged. Lips sunk into the softness of her cleavage and she moaned. A low possessive growl escaped his throat.

❝And I don't share what belongs to me.❞

Crown Prince of Werewolves, Cassian is just as mysterious and grand as the stories claim him to be. Ever since he turned of age, Cassian has been on the hunt to find his mate. To make her fall in love with him and use her to remove a curse that dangles his lifeline from a cliff.

When time passes by and Cassian begins to lose hope, she arrives. Although, not as his mate but as an assassin. That night, Cassian is attacked by a scent that holds him captive under the intensity of storm gray eyes and bared claws.

Everything Rhea worked for all her life was to keep her twin sister safe and escape from the brothel that she is blood oathed to serve until she finished one final task.

Kill the Crown Prince of Werewolves.

All seems well until Rhea realizes that Cassian is also her mate. Killing him meant her freedom lost forever but not doing so meant losing the only family she had left. With the balance unfairly divided, Rhea makes a decision - seduce her mate and kill him when the time is right.

Amidst brewing feelings that each try to suppress, Cassian and Rhea are forced to work together against an enemy that is less of a myth and more of a past threatening to overspill and consume them whole.

After all, what could go wrong in a game of deceit?
