Zaya Monroe has always lived by rules-survive, stay hidden, and never trust anyone. But when her identity is accidentally exposed during a failed escape from her abusive foster home, she falls into the hands of someone far more dangerous: Kael Donovan-a ruthless billionaire known for his cold heart and darker secrets. Kael doesn't believe in love. When he discovers Zaya's ties to a man who betrayed him years ago, he decides to take her-not for revenge, but for possession. She'll be his until he decides otherwise. Caged in his mansion, surrounded by luxury but starved of freedom, Zaya refuses to be broken. But Zaya's fire starts melting Kael's icy exterior. As the lines blur between obsession and affection, Kael must choose: protect his heart or risk everything for the woman who was never meant to be his.

Chapter 1 THE AUCTION

Zaya Monroe knew she shouldn't have come. The velvet mask pressed against her face was hot, suffocating. Her heart thumped wildly beneath the black silk dress that hugged her frame like a noose. Around her, wealthy strangers sipped champagne, their laughter echoing under the chandeliers. Everyone here had power, status and secrets. Especially the man she was here to find. She had one goal: to find a way out of the mess her foster brother left her in. And instead, she walked straight into the lion's den. Tonight was one of New York's underground charity auctions.

But charity wasn't the word for it. On stage weren't antiques or art. They were people. Girls. Zaya swallowed hard as another masked girl walked across the stage. Applause. Another man bidding with eyes full of desire, not kindness. "Number 23 two nights, no questions. Virgin." The crowd buzzed. Zaya turned to leave but too late. A hand gripped her wrist. She gasped, whirling around and met eyes like frozen steel.

Tall. Dark. Impossibly composed. His tuxedo was sharp enough to cut. His face was mostly in shadow, but his presence was overpowering. "Who are you?" he asked, voice low and dangerous. Zaya's heart skipped. "I I think you have the wrong person." "No," he said simply. "You're exactly who I'm looking for." Before she could run, he leaned in. "Your name is Zaya Monroe. You've been hiding for a while. And now you're mine."

My name is Katia, and I am just trying to survive until my fated mate arrives. Which may be easier said than done. Rejectection is the last straw. Whispering my acceptance of his rejection. I run through the pack house, out across the manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me and have had to suffer everything I have. She whispers," it's not your fault, Katia. We came to a cliff with a waterfall. The hurt keeps pounding at me. I need it to stop. My sweet girl, and I just want peace, I keep running and leap off the cliff. Spreading my arms wide, with tears streaming down my face, I fall, not making a sound, waiting for sweet oblivion where we feel nothing ever again. "I love you, my sweet girl! Until we meet again, "My wolf replied just before we hit the water, "I love you too, Katia. I have never regretted a moment with you." The Snow Moon pack is having their last barbecue of the summer next to the waterfall on their land. The adults are laughing and joking while watching the pups play. The alpha, beta, and gamma are swimming with some of the older children and playing a game of Marco Polo. Someone yells, "Oh my goddess, someone just jumped over the waterfall!" Everyone is frozen as they watch what looks to be a child falling arms spread wide, no one makes a sound. The small body hits the water like a plane crashing into the side of a mountain. The alpha, beta, and gamma, spring into action, swimming towards the area the person went under. The alpha is screaming his wolf is going crazy repeating, "Find her. Find her...find her!" They dive and the beta surfaces with a small person in his arms. Alpha takes the girl from his beta, laying her on the ground. The men are shocked by what they see. She is covered in scars and injuries. Her body is twisted and broken. The Beta asks, "Who could have done this to someone so defenseless?" Alpha drops to his knees, repeating, "MATE...MATE...MATE!"
