"I fucking own you. Not your excuses. Not your defiance. Your entire existence. Now, kneel and be a good girl for me because there's nothing left in you that doesn't answer to me."
[18+ Mature Content]
Astaroth University is ruled by the men, the lords- a hidden society built on blood debts, silence, and absolute power. They don't just exist above everyone else; they decide what power means. The most dangerous men in the world, bound to violence in exchange for influence. Every senior year, they are given a chosen one.
A girl placed in their world like something already spoken for.
To most people, wealth looks like freedom. It isn't. It's control with better lighting. My life was written long before I ever had a say in it-every path planned, every choice already accounted for.
Until Coltrane Crevence looked at me like I didn't belong to myself anymore.
Not asked for. Not earned. Just decided.
I told myself I was choosing him. That it was my decision. My escape. My control.
But the lords don't give freedom. They refine it until it feels like desire instead of force.
And he is very good at making surrender feel like something you wanted-like something that was always going to happen.
Like being owned by him was never a question. Only a matter of when.
Once I was pulled into their world, survival stopped being optional. Every rule had weight. Every glance had meaning. And every step deeper made it harder to remember where I ended and what belonged to him began.
Because in Astaroth University, nothing is accidental. Nothing is temporary.
And no one is ever truly chosen without consequence.
Especially not when you're Owned by Crevence.
