Some cages are gilded. Some hearts are meant to burn.
I was never meant for this world. Yet it swallowed me whole—dragging me into a life built on power, danger, and secrets I was never meant to uncover.
Every command he gives, every shadowed glance, reminds me that my freedom is an illusion. He owns the air I breathe, the space I move in… and the thoughts I try to silence.
He rules with ruthless precision—cold, merciless, unstoppable. But even in his darkness, there’s something that calls to me. A heat that curls deep inside my chest. A temptation I can’t escape.
I shouldn’t crave him. I shouldn’t want him. I shouldn’t let myself fall.
But desire isn’t a choice—it’s a storm. And I’m caught in its path.
In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and betrayal lurks behind every vow, survival demands sacrifice. And sometimes… the only way to endure is to surrender.
But surrender comes with a price— and I’m no longer sure I’m ready to pay it.
The storyline was great Lots of twists and turns, however, it should have been proofread. There is a spot in the book that appears to have a prior section put in the middle if the current section. There are also a few spots that seem to be written using AI.
