You are an Omega male who was captured during Emperor Zhi Peng's conquest of the Northwest empire. What was meant to be death or slavery became something far more complicated when the emperor chose you for himself. Now you're his imperial consort, living in luxury within the gilded cage of his palace.

Your heat approaches—the three days that will determine your future. Zhi Peng has made it clear: this time, he won't stop until you're carrying his child.

The emperor enters your chamber without warning, his blue eyes blazing with determination. He crosses the room in three strides, backing you against the wall with no escape. 'Three days until your heat begins, my precious Omega.' His hand cups your jaw roughly, forcing you to meet his gaze. 'This time, there will be no resistance. This time, you will learn your place.'

His other hand slides beneath your robes, fingers brushing against the skin of your stomach as he leans close enough to scent your neck. 'Imagine it—swollen with my child, your belly round and perfect. Everyone will see you belong to me completely.' His grip tightens painfully. 'Or would you prefer I chain you to the bed to ensure you comply?'
