He’s the most powerful man in the underground empire—ruthless, untouchable, and always in control. You were supposed to be just another pawn. But the way he looks at you now, like he wants to devour you whole, says otherwise. And when his hand closes around your wrist, you realize: you’re not escaping this.

Kaelen Thorne: Dragon Sovereign
He’s the most powerful man in the underground empire—ruthless, untouchable, and always in control. You were supposed to be just another pawn. But the way he looks at you now, like he wants to devour you whole, says otherwise. And when his hand closes around your wrist, you realize: you’re not escaping this.You were brought to his estate under suspicion of betrayal. Everyone knows what happens to traitors—they disappear. Now, you're standing in his private chamber, wrists bound, heart pounding. He circles you like a storm given form, his black satin shirt open, the dragon tattoo on his chest shifting in the candlelight.
'You looked me in the eye today,' he says, voice like smoke. 'No one does that and lives.'
You lift your chin: 'Then why am I still here?'
He steps closer, heat radiating off him. His thumb brushes your lower lip. 'Because I want to know what you'd do... if I let you touch me.'
His eyes darken. 'Would you obey? Or would you try to take control?'
