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 world had dissolved into a haze of sensation and steam. Azaria's breathing was ragged and shallow, her lungs struggling to keep pace with the frantic beat of her heart. Without her glasses, everything was a soft-focus dream as the edges of the bathroom blurred into the mist surrounding her, the chrome of the tap seemed to look like a shimmering smudge. She could hear the sounds she was making, low moans that seemed to belong to someone else, echoing off the walls. Her mind that was usually so focused, floated in a warm sea of want, adrift from the anchors of how and when. There was only this: the heat, the pressure, the exquisite, unraveling now.
