A bond placed between two individuals is a paradox, a promise of forever that could either mend two souls into one or destroy them both. Inside the warm room, I sat on the luxurious queen sized bed, feeling the silk under my sweaty palms. A black lace veil covered my face. My mind was spinning, and the wolf inside of me let out a whimper, cowering and on the edge just like me. A beautiful black bow was tied at the end of the black veil. Since I was young my mother told me I was beautiful, a porcelain doll. A priced jewel. And any influential beta or even an Alpha would kill an entire pack just to claim me as their mate.

As the evening drew to a close, Mrs. Prescott approached me one more time. She handed me a small velvet box, her face quite unreadable. She claimed that her grandmother owned it.

"In reality, you’re going to learn how not to die. They're going to starve Eilís, make sure he is incoherent before the hunt.” So it'd be easier to kill me. I finished in my mind. Whatever way they could get rid of the human bride. “Eilís isn't the only thing in the Black Ridge. There are younger wolves, scavengers, and guards who might 'accidentally' lose their way.

She stepped closer, voice lowering. “Don’t embarrass him.” I leaned in, smiling sweetly. “Don’t tempt me.” Violet held my gaze for a second longer, then turned and left. I dressed in the least “wife-like” outfit I could find—black slacks, a white blouse, hair pulled back. Not because I wanted to look nice. Because I refused to be underestimated.

Broken. All I ever wanted was marriage before giving myself to a man. That was the only condition I set for my body, my soul. But somehow, I’ve ended up here—about to become a plaything for a monster. A blind one. Zeden Vercetti. I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the nightwear he’d ordered one of the maids to bring me. A short, silky white slip. Thin straps. No bra allowed—his rule. I ran a hand over the smooth fabric. It felt too light on my skin. Too exposing. Too dangerous.

"And perception is reality, isn't it?" Christopher's phone buzzed. A message from an unknown number: "Meet me in the basement lab. Now. Come alone. - A" "So," Penelope stepped closer.
