"There is only one rule in my world," she whispered.

"What's that sweetheart?" he mused, as he glanced down at her.

"Don't get caught" 

"Well that puts you in a rough spot" 

Even a spider can get trapped in its own web
-----------------------------------------------------------

On the surface the Zhar dynasty appears to be in its golden age of prosperity and wealth. 

Below the surface in the dark it's being consumed by a mysterious plague that no one can find a cure to and magic is dwindling at an alarming rate. 

For Arachne, this doesn't mean much as she would happily burn the very kingdom that's taken everything from her. 

For Calix, this means his entire identity as the Crown Prince. 

In a cruel twist of fate, the responsibility to save the kingdom falls onto both of them all while danger lurks all around. 

Yet, their only chance of making it out alive is if they learn to work together.

"The fuck you are leaving me." His roar cracked through the hall like lightning. Ara didn't blink. She stood there, calm as death, done to her core. No tears. No tremble. Just a weary exhale as she turned her back on him - the one thing he never thought she'd do. Before she could take a step, his hand shot out, gripping her arm like he was holding on to life itself. "Where are you going, Ara!" His command shook the pack. But she wasn't his to command. Not anymore. Ara ripped her arm free with a force that made even his wolf recoil. "Don't. Touch. Me." Her aura slammed into him, cold and merciless. "You think I'll stand here and watch you mate and breed her?" she hissed, every word a dagger. His throat bobbed. "She meant nothing." She laughed - sharp, broken, brutal. "Yeah? That's why you were fucking her in your office? Couldn't even hide the scent of your betrayal." "Ara, it was a mistake-" She stepped closer, eyes blazing. "Your mistakes come in episodes, Alpha. Season one, season two, season three. You don't make mistakes. You make choices." He swallowed hard. "I don't need her. I need you." "Lies," she spat. "Every damn sentence you breathe is a lie. I can't even look at you without feeling sick." He flinched like her words physically hit him. "That female behind you?" she pointed, not bothering to glance. "Perfect for you. Go mark her. Breed her. Hell, fuck her for all I care." Her voice cracked - but she kept going, blade steady even when bleeding. "I don't need you. Not anymore." His knees crashed to the floor. The mighty Alpha. On the ground. For her. "Ara... I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry." His voice broke like he finally understood what loss tasted like. She stared at him with a sad, devastating smile. "Isn't it too late for that, Mate?" One tear escaped - and she crushed it away with her thumb. Then she turned. Walked. Didn't look back. But he didn't chase her. Because he knew. He didn't just lose her. He wrecked her.

Vixen Nightbloom is an assassin feared across kingdoms, a blade honed in darkness and blood. Trained by the ruthless Alaric, who shaped her into his perfect weapon, Vixen has spent her life running from her past, haunted by shadows and the faces of those she's killed. When she's captured and chained, stripped of her powers and caged within Shadow lock prison, Vixen must navigate a deadly game of alliances and betrayals, playing the roles of prisoner, protector, and something far more dangerous. King Malachi and his captain, Ezra, are torn between their desire to keep Vixen close and the growing fear that she's far more than she appears. Bound to them by fate, secrets, and bonds they don't fully understand, Vixen struggles to keep her fractured past buried. But when whispers of rebellion surface, and Alaric returns to reclaim her as his weapon, Vixen's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Caught between the loyalty of those who would kill for her and the men who would die to save her, Vixen must confront the truth she's buried for so long-her destiny as the last heir of a fallen kingdom and the power that lies dormant within her blood. As the lines between enemy and ally blur, and the pull of a long-forgotten throne beckons, Vixen must decide whether to rise from the ashes or let the darkness consume her once more. In a world where trust is a fragile illusion and power comes at a deadly price, Vixen's next move could save a kingdom-or destroy it.
