His desire and her destiny

She was never meant to be part of his world.

Seren lived a quiet, simple life-until the night she found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. She saw him. Zayne Aethelian. A name whispered in fear, a man who commands power with a single glance.

She should have forgotten him. But how do you forget a man like that?

Zayne doesn't let outsiders into his world. But the moment he saw her, something shifted. She was supposed to be a problem he could erase, a loose end he could cut. But now, he can't stop thinking about her.

She's not just a weakness.
She's an obsession.

Seren runs. He follows. She fights him, defies him, meets his darkness with her fire. And every time she pulls away, he just tightens his grip.

She should be afraid. But the way his fingers brush against her skin, the way his voice lowers when he whispers her name-fear is the last thing she feels.

Because Zayne doesn't just want to own her.
He wants all of her.

And no matter how hard she tries to escape...
He's never letting her go.
