Ruthless Chapter 39

Amelia has spent her life surviving her stepmother’s cruelty, each day carved out of fear, each breath earned through obedience. When the woman finally grows tired of her, she sells Amelia off like a piece of debt-stained property to a man whispered about in every corner of the kingdom. A man who kills without hesitation. A man whose name alone can silence a room. Heartbroken but unwilling to die under another tyrant, Amelia makes one desperate attempt for freedom. She flees into the choking darkness of the forest, hunted like prey by the very man she was forced to marry. But before he can claim her… something inside her snaps. Under the cold, merciless moon, Amelia’s bones shatter, her skin tears, and the girl who never fought back transforms into a creature she didn’t believe existed. A werewolf, born of a lineage her stepmother buried in lies and blood. And worse still, the mate fate binds her to is the same ruthless predator she tried to escape. Now Amelia must live in a world where power is defined by the strength of her bite and the legacy she never knew she possessed. Her mate despises her with a fire that could burn kingdoms, and the shadows of his past drip with secrets, violence, and betrayal. If she can’t unravel the truth behind his hatred and the truth of her own origins, she will be consumed by the same darkness that forged him. But Amelia is no longer the girl who kneels. Not anymore. And when she discovers the monsters tucked inside her mate’s memories, she must decide: Will she be the weapon that breaks him…? or the woman who survives him?
