Prologue

“I’m going to slice you open, rip out your guts, and put 'em in a bowl if you don’t release me now!” Briar KingBear yelled at her captors, rattling her chains.

“All that fire, and you still deny me what you know is mine? I can help you with that, Love.” Artemis gave her a lustful glance.

“Don’t even think about it. If you kill your brother, how will you enjoy yourself?” She growled at him.

“We keep you because you entertain us. You have been chained to that pole due to your own foolishness. Now you won’t be able to escape your duty or your fate.” Artemis, the wonderful son of the Alpha who kidnapped her.

“What will you do when Rei hears I’m here, and you have gone against his wishes? He is the next Alpha to leads us, not you!” Briar screamed.

“He will be too late to save you from my mark.” Artemis leveled his gaze on her, slowly walking in her direction.

“What are you doing? If you do this, Rei will die! Your brother will be dead!” Briar yelled through her tears.

“Everyone dies some time. Believe me, it’s his time.” Artemis laughed a psychotic look in his eyes.

Briar knew she was in trouble.
