- Yes - I admitted defeated. The whole situation was giving me a bit of panic. - P-please don't t-tell anyone. I-I don't want to l-lose my job, I'll do anything - I begged, looking deep into your eyes. I was almost crying, feeling my vision blur a little.
Contrary to what I expected, a smile began to creep onto your face.
- Are you sure? Anything at all? - your smile widens, forming those perfectly crafted commercial smiles, your teeth are so white that I doubted for a moment if they were real or not.
- Even, even? - I nodded, getting a little confused about where he was going with this.
- Look, I can forgive you for trying to steal from me, after all, you didn't even finish the theft so it's not a problem - I sighed in relief, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. - I hope to see you in my room at 11:30, I'll be waiting - under my surprised expression, he stood up and brushed the dust off his shirt. He picked up the clock from the floor and put it back in the box and closed the drawer.
As he stood up, strangely my body followed suit, craving for something. I sat on the carpet as he finished packing the rest of the suitcase. My heart was beating fast, the fear still lingered, would he keep his promise?
- You can go now, servant - he sat on the bed and pointed to the door. He kept looking at me with that same strange look as before. I nodded and left with my head down, my body trembling. My heart racing from the word "servant" that seemed different when he spoke it, had a more special quality. Something strange is happening, too much at once... but I'm too tired for this now.
Bound by a curse and controlled by a dangerous shifter, Kaia has no hope of escaping her cruel fate until her pack is raided by a powerful Alpha who she discovers is her fated mate-and he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.

***
Kaia has always been the outcast of the Red River pack, hoping for a life of freedom away from the control of her sinister leader, Alpha Maverick. But she has limited options, especially with the crushing weight of a containment curse bearing down on her shoulders.
When her pack is unexpectedly raided by revered Alpha Nero Hunt, Kaia is shocked to discover that the powerful Alpha is her mate. Nero has been yearning for his true mate forever, and now that he's found her, he's desperate to fight for her, no matter the cost. Kaia has her secrets, but so does Nero, and the struggle to keep Kaia free from Maverick's clutches and break her curse threatens to tear them apart.
Kaia thought she was done with domineering Alphas, but maybe with this one, she just might keep him.
