LedaThey came for me in the night with red eyes and claws.But my real nightmare began when I woke up, naked and chained. I was in a different world, a place where monsters walked and humans bargained their freedom for magic.Only I never signed a contract.I was fighting for my life when he arrived. He stopped me from killing his soldier but brought me under his protection. He promised to help me find my way home, but it would take time.Living with a monster was nothing like I expected. He took care of me, talked to me, and showed me more kindness than any human ever had.The longer I stayed, the less I wanted to leave. Except…I may not have a choice.BokkanThe moment I saw the human female, I wanted her. She was strong, fierce–and fighting one of my soldiers.When I discovered she had no contract, I used that excuse to claim her as mine to protect. And bring her under my roof where I could ensure her safety. Her presence awakened primal instincts within me. The urge to hunt her, mate her, and brand her as mine. With each day that passed, my control frayed.Until they took her from me and the beast within burst free. Once I find her, neither of us will have a choice.She will be mine.
