Athena Solitaire Madrigal thrives in the electric energy of late-night gatherings until a fateful evening shatters her world. She discovers she's been stalked by someone possessive enough to claim her as his own. Her attempts at escape lead nowhere—not until cold steel binds her to the alpha king. **** Damon hurls me into darkness. Fear and rage consume me. "Release me!" I demand, my voice breaking. He approaches, his fingers tilting my chin upward to meet his icy gaze. "Never, Athena," he growls, and with brutal finality, chains clamp around my ankle. I fight back—kicking, thrashing—desperate for freedom. His grip tightens on my jaw, stealing my breath. "You belong to me now, Athena. Every breath, every feeling, every inch of you is mine. Since the moment you drew your first breath, your existence has been written into mine and mine alone."
