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.

There was so much silence inside the Aldrith company building that weekend. It felt heavy and entirely unnatural compared to the usual bustle of the workweek. The walls stretched endlessly into dark and empty hallways, and the hum of the air system was the only sound echoing through the lobby as Valeria led Aziel through the corridors, her hand occasionally brushing his to offer a small thread of reassurance. Her heart pounded against her ribs, not just from the presence of her mate beside her, but from the confrontation ahead. Her grandfather had requested this meeting take place when the building was completely empty, away from prying eyes and pack gossip.
