She was sold to pay her father's debt. She arrived carrying his secret. Ava Sterling never expected to see Ryder Kane again. The last time she did, he'd spent one night unraveling her completely — then left her with seven words at dawn: "You are nothing to me." Four months later, she's standing on an auction platform in silver cuffs while alphas bid on her like livestock. Her father calls it a debt payment. She calls it a betrayal she'll never forgive. Then Ryder steps out of the shadows and buys her himself. One year. One contract. One rule — produce his heir. The problem? She's already four months pregnant with his triplets. Ava signs the contract and keeps her secret, calculating she has weeks before he finds out. But Ryder Kane didn't build an empire by missing things. And when the truth explodes — along with the dining room windows and the first appearance of a golden power she can't explain — everything changes. Because Ava isn't just a rejected omega carrying his children. She's the last carrier of an ancient bloodline that a seven-hundred-year-old shadow king has been waiting to claim.
