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:

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.

Monday morning arrived rather quickly. The sun shone through the glasses and into the towering building of Aldrith Corp, illuminating the organised desk in Azaria's office.
