21 parts Ongoing She was never meant to be his wife.
She was meant to be his revenge.
When Anastasia is forced into a marriage she never chose, she becomes bound to Killian-a man feared for his silence as much as his violence. To her family, the union is protection. To him, it is justice long delayed.
Every vow is calculated.
Every act of devotion hides a blade.
Killian has waited years to dismantle the family that destroyed his own, and through Anastasia, he finally holds the thread that can unravel them all. But fate has a cruel sense of irony. The woman meant to be collateral begins to matter. And the deeper the bond between them grows, the more impossible his revenge becomes.
Because some threads, once pulled too tight, cannot be cut without blood.
