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.

Azaria sat still on the couch, her hands clasped tightly in her lap as she waited patiently for what was about to be said, her eyes fixed on Theon, never letting them look elsewhere, even though her heart threatened to burst out of her chest. He remained standing a respectful distance away to keep her from flinching again. There was strain in his broad shoulders that betrayed the turmoil roaring inside him. He breathed in slowly, steadying his voice so that every word he spoke was clear and completely honest, refusing to keep anything more from her as much as he had already.
