Azaria Freeman gave everything to Aldrith Corp. She carried two roles without complaint, held the company together, and believed her reward was finally within reach. Instead, the promotion she earned was handed to someone with the Aldrith name.

Furious and done staying silent, Azaria storms into a board meeting and challenges the very people who overlooked her. But the moment she steps inside, everything changes because Theon Aldrith realizes the truth:

His mate has been right under his nose all along.

And she is human.

Something that hasn’t happened in centuries.

Now, power, instinct, and fear collide as Theon faces an impossible choice: claim her and risk everything, or walk away from the one person fate has chosen for him.

The golden light of the early afternoon filtered through the large windows of the penthouse living room, casting a warm glow across the floor. In the master bedroom, Azaria stood in front of the full-length mirror, smoothing down the front of her clothes for what felt like the tenth time in five minutes. Her heart was hammering against her ribs in a nervous rhythm that she couldn't seem to silence. She had spent the entire morning asking Theon endless questions about what to wear and what "formal" actually implied in a world filled with powerful werewolves, terrified that she might somehow look completely out of place or fail to meet some unspoken expectation.
