Dread Heads

BOUGHT! BOUND! OWNED! Kyomi King is the first born child in her family, meaning she has to scrape and fend for herself and her brother, now that her parents are gone. Her life is not all sunshine and rainbows because not only were they orphaned when they were young, but they live in a country without legal papers, making the two siblings always on the receiving end of bad things. She slaves for his only family to put bread on the table and keep the roof over their heads, enduring endless sexual assault from her boss and the customers. But it is her life, and she has learned not to thirst for things that are out of reach. Until one day when her very own flesh and blood walks in followed by a bunch of mobsters, then brazenly sells her to them without much of hesitation. Betrayed, she finds herself trapped in a world of darkness, only to discover her inner strength and blossoms into an unstoppable force. All with the help of the man who owned her. Vincenzo Russo.

Kali has known one truth her entire life—she was never meant to bow. Adopted as a child by her Beta parents, she has no memory of where she came from, but the pack never lets her forget that she was picked up from the dirt—an outsider, a stray. They expect her to be grateful and content with her place. She watches the women around her lower their heads, raise children, and serve their mates like loyal pets—all for men who would discard them the moment they grew tired. She refuses to be like them. So when she turns eighteen and learns that the arrogant future Alpha, Travis, is her first-chance mate, she rejects him without a second thought. For defying the Alpha, she's banished. They think she’ll crawl back, broken and begging. They’re wrong. Kali walks away with nothing but pride, but fate isn’t finished with her yet. She soon finds herself in the territory of Alpha Jack—her second-chance mate, everything she despises. Jack is ruthless, feared by all, second only to the Alpha King himself. Raised in a world where women submit and serve, Jack expects no less from her. He tries to break her. She refuses to yield. But when his lips touch hers, everything changes. Flashes of a past she never knew start flooding back. And when she learns that completing the bond with Jack will unlock her full memories, Kali is faced with a choice she swore she’d never make: submit to the man she swore to resist or walk away from the truth of who she really is. Jack may believe he can tame her. But he has no idea that the woman he seeks to break is the one he was always meant to kneel before.
