Nia is nothing but a "runt" in the eyes of her pack. As a half-wolf, half-human outcast, she has lived her entire life as an abused servant to her cruel uncle. When his gambling debts spiral out of control, he does the unthinkable: he sells her at a terrifying, underground supernatural auction.
She expects to be bought as a slave-or worse. But the bidding comes to a dead halt when the heavy doors crash open, and a living legend walks in.
Alpha Kade. Known across the continent as "The Butcher." He is the ruthless ruler of the frozen North, a heavily scarred warlord who is said to have no heart and leaves no survivors. Kade drops an untouchable fortune to claim Nia, dragging her away to his isolated, icy fortress.
Terrified, Nia believes she has just been sold to a monster who will tear her apart. But the terrifying Alpha doesn't throw her in a dungeon. Instead, he gives her the most luxurious suite in the castle, orders his staff to feed her like royalty, and snaps the arm of a guard who dares to look at her with disrespect.
Soon, Nia discovers the shocking truth: The Alpha didn't buy a slave. He smelled his Fated Mate on the auction block. And now, the monster she thought would destroy her is standing right in front of her, ready to burn the entire world to the ground and annihilate anyone who has ever dared to hurt her.
