Azaria Freeman gave everything to Aldrith Corp. She carried two roles without complaint, held the company together, and believed her reward was finally within reach. Instead, the promotion she earned was handed to someone with the Aldrith name.

Furious and done staying silent, Azaria storms into a board meeting and challenges the very people who overlooked her. But the moment she steps inside, everything changes because Theon Aldrith realizes the truth:

His mate has been right under his nose all along.

And she is human.

Something that hasn’t happened in centuries.

Now, power, instinct, and fear collide as Theon faces an impossible choice: claim her and risk everything, or walk away from the one person fate has chosen for him.

The group decided to watch a movie together as the evening came to a close. The blue glow from the television screen flickered across the walls of the sunken living room as the end credits started to roll. Valeria stretched her arms over her head with a yawn, being the first to get up from the corner of the couch and offering a quiet goodnight to everyone before she headed up the staircase to her bedroom. The remaining sound of the television faded into the background and the rest of them stayed down for a bit, sharing simple conversations about the upcoming week and getting to know more about one another. Lenora and Dorian eventually stood up as well and headed up to bed together, leaving the ground floor quiet and peaceful.
