The Mystic Shapeshifter
by Ravi Chandrasekhar
Wren thought chains were the worst thing that could happen to her. Then Alaric bought her, and she discovered there are worse things than slavery—like wanting your captor's hands on you. The barbarian treats her like precious cargo, but his eyes burn with secrets darker than his gold. When the full moon rises, Wren learns why. Alaric isn't just wealthy and dangerous—he's an Eternal Warrior whose beast has chosen her as its mate. But someone else wants Wren too. Corvus Noctis doesn't see a defiant woman or a destined mate—he sees a Watcher whose power over birds could remake the supernatural world. And he's willing to tear through anyone who stands between him and his prize. Now Wren faces an impossible choice: surrender to the warrior who owns her body, or embrace the power that could destroy them both. Some cages have bars. Others have heartbeats.
