Lion's Prize

I'm one of a kind. And to stay alive, I can't let anybody know what I really am.A group of ruthless beasts kidnap me.Now I'm a hostage-a pawn in a game I didn't know I was playing. The shifters, cruel and calculating, condemn me to an unthinkable fate-to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.Amidst the chaos of the auction, a figure emerges from the shadows, exuding authority and power. Braxton, a powerful alpha, commands attention with a presence that's as irresistible as it is daunting.When his gaze locks onto mine, an unexpected twist occurs-he claims me as his own, bidding an astonishing price to secure me.Stripped of my freedom, I'm trapped in a gilded cage. I'm torn between my intense resentment and the magnetic pull to the alpha that I can't ignore.I must decide whether the bond forming between us will be my downfall or my ultimate salvation.*18+
