LOGINI am Lyra Ashfang, a slim, four-foot-five werewolf freak and the only Psi mutant of the Ashfang Moon Pack. When my treacherous family cuts off the life-support crystals keeping my vegetative Omega mother alive, I am forced to make a lethal deal with the devil: take my cousin's place in a forced blood covenant and bind myself to the royal family of the Nightbane Crimson Dominion. Everyone in Ebonhaven knows the rumors surrounding Prince Cassius Nightbane. They say a brutal battle left the massive, five-foot-ten vampire prince crippled, confined to an obsidian wheelchair, and that a dark madness has turned him into a vicious, bloodthirsty monster who shreds his bed partners to pieces. But the moment I stand at the altar of the Blood Moon Covenant Hall, my heart stops dead. The muscular predator sitting in that chair—always wearing a single leather glove and holding a smoldering cigarette between his fingers—is the exact same healthy, lethal vampire who cornered me in the dark alleys of the Crimson Noble Quarter half a moon ago. The one who left me bruised, gasping, and desperately marked against the brick wall. He claims his lower body is entirely dead to the world, yet his dark, dominant gaze tells a completely different story. Trapped inside the cold walls of the Nightbane Crimson Citadel, I must navigate a dangerous web of royal council betrayals, deadly territory wars, and an intoxicating, primal attraction that threatens to consume us both. He is supposed to be my ruin, but as the blood moon rises, I realize this crippled monster might be the only one capable of keeping me alive.

My dark skin flushed with a sudden wave of heat as Prince Cassius's voice echoed in my mind, remembering how his heavy gloved hand had gripped my small waist in the dark bedroom before he left. He was a five-foot-ten muscular vampire monster, but when his hot mouth pressed against my throat, my Psi wolf whimpered in absolute surrender."We cannot stop observing the situation in Ebonhaven," Prince Cassius growled into his communication crystal miles away on the eastern border roads, his raspy voice trembling with dark fury.He had sworn to protect my small body with his life when we signed the mate covenant, promising I would never suffer under my uncle Alpha Garrick's cruelty again. He had only been gone for two days, and already rogue wolves had tried to crush me with an iron supply wagon in the Crimson Noble Quarter."My Lord, w
Lyra Ashfang POVAt this moment, on the top floor of the stone spire across the Ebonhaven central market, Prince Draven Nightbane was looking down at us.When the blood-knight behind him saw him, he immediately fell to his knees on the cold floorboards. "My Lord, she has entered the bazaar again with the old manor keeper.""I see her," Draven growled, his eyes fixed on my four-foot-five frame standing by the wooden stall, his pale vampire face twisted with pure greed. "It has been five years since my brother was crippled. I never expected Cassius would actually take a skinny wolf into his bed. It is beyond my expectation. I thought his damaged body couldn't even mount a female, let alone seal a blood bond."Draven slammed the silver goblet in his hand down onto the dark table, the heavy metal shattering into pieces as if it had been hit by a heavy iron hammer.The blood-knights in the room trembled at the sudden burst of his dark aura, bowing their heads in terror."Get out of my sigh
Lyra Ashfang POVCassius saw my hand shaking in the mountain wind, and he reached out to grip my small, dark wrist tightly. He pulled my four-foot-five body against his chest, wrapping his heavy fingers around mine until his heat soaked through my cold skin. "Get in the carriage, Lyra. The night air is turning freezing, and your paws are like ice."His gloved palm was burning hot against my fingers, flooding my veins with a sudden, wild pulse that made my inner Psi wolf whimper in surrender. "Thank you," I murmured, climbing into the iron-bound coach beside him as the servants shut the door.When I closed my eyes that night back at the Nightbane Crimson Citadel, I thought I would take Cassius for a walk around the estate gardens the next morning. But long before dawn broke over Ebonhaven, an ear-piercing communication rune shattered the heavy silence of our bedchamber.Cassius sat up instantly, reaching for the glowing crystal on the nightstand with his single gloved hand, his muscula
Lyra Ashfang POV"Of course," Cassius replied, his deep, metallic voice echoing through the grand hall of the Ashfang Moon Keep."Since she is joining the Nightbane Dominion's trade sector, our pack will no longer have to carry her weight," Freya sneered, her blue eyes flashing with pure disgust as she smoothed down her silk gown. "Grandfather, you are being far too generous to a stray who turned her back on our bloodline. How could someone like her ever hold a desk in our keep?"Freya practically purred at the thought of me leaving. She assumed that entering the vampire realm meant placing myself directly under Prince Draven's boot, making it child's play for her to crush me once she took her seat as his future Luna."Since the matter is settled, I expect you to ensure Lyra wants for nothing," Fallen Alpha Rowan commanded, his amber eyes fixing heavily on Cassius.His sudden display of warmth made my skin crawl.
