While living a quiet life in this new realm, Karma encounters Freya, a succubus Demon Lord, who commands him to undertake a seemingly impossible task: assist her in completing her mission in this world.

He killed my father. Then he married me. On our wedding night, Alessandro Romano handed me a gun. "Shoot me, or let me fuck you like you're mine.”I should have pulled the trigger. Instead, I let him tear my dress off. Let him back me against the door. Let him put his fingers inside me while he whispered every filthy thing he wanted to do to my body. I came so hard I saw stars. Then I found the police report. Proof he murdered my father when I was twelve. Proof he's been watching me ever since. I ran. Got pregnant with his baby. Hide in my stepbrother's house. Big mistake. Now the monster who gave me the best orgasm of my life is hunting me down. And my body won't stop remembering how good his hands felt on my throat.

Rejected by her mate. Humiliated and branded as unwanted. Cast out like she was nothing. Rhiannon was supposed to break. Instead, she survived. When she finds refuge in the powerful Crescent Moon pack, she crosses paths with Kael—a ruthless Alpha forged by war and loss. He doesn’t trust easily. He doesn’t love recklessly. And he definitely doesn’t save broken omegas. But Rhiannon isn’t broken. She is healing wrapped in steel. Midnight rain before a storm. And when an obsessive enemy rises from the shadows—determined to claim what he believes is his—she becomes the one thing he never expected. Unyielding. As vengeance closes in and blood stains the past, Kael and Rhiannon must decide: Will they let fear tear them apart… Or will they burn the world before they lose each other? This time, she won’t be rejected. This time, she’ll rise. And if the past comes hunting? Let it. They'll face it together.

« Dis-moi d’arrêter. » Sa voix était basse, du genre à s’enrouler autour de sa colonne vertébrale et à rendre chaque souffle péché. « Tu ne le feras pas », murmura-t-elle. Il sourit — lent, cruel, dévastateur. « Tu as raison. » Il n’était jamais censé la toucher. Elle n’était jamais censée le désirer. Il y a trois ans, Maddox Steinfeld était devenu le tuteur d’Adeline Monroe — son salut, son filet de sécurité, sa cage. Il était la puissance incarnée : silencieux, discipliné, inébranlable. Le genre d’homme capable de tuer de ses mains et de l’envelopper dans ses bras pour l’endormir avec ces mêmes mains. Mais le désir ne demande pas la permission. Il s’insinue, lent et venimeux, jusqu’à ce qu’un moment volé transforme la protection en possession. À présent, chaque règle qu’ils avaient construite est brisée. Chaque regard, une promesse. Chaque toucher, une menace. Il est l’homme qui avait juré de la protéger. Mais dans le monde de Maddox, la sécurité est un mensonge — et l’amour, le piège le plus dangereux. Parce que lorsqu’il la prendra enfin, ce ne sera pas avec douceur. Ce sera total. Et une fois qu’il l’aura… il n’y aura plus d’échappatoire.

Two days before the full moon, my mate Derek, our pack Alpha, decided to take his Omega assistant Sarah hunting in the forest. I didn't argue or make a scene. I even lovingly packed his bags for him. He mocked me, saying my pregnancy had finally taught me to be gentle. After he left, I immediately went to terminate the pregnancy. All because in my previous life, when I prevented him from accompanying that Omega, his little assistant was brutally murdered by rogue wolves in the forest. Derek acted indifferent on the surface, but when I was about to give birth, he sliced open my belly with a silver dagger, removed our unborn pup, and cut it to pieces before my eyes. Only then did I understand he had resented me all along. With this second chance, I will leave him with nothing.
