The Taboo Mercy Crilla lives in a pack governed by fear and cold tradition. Deep in the bowels of the dungeon lies the "Beast of the Black Peak"—a massive, starving Alpha King named Kane. The rules are simple: Do not look at him. Do not speak to him. And above all, never feed him.
But Crilla has always had a sarcastic streak as wide as her heart. To her, a King in a cage isn't a monster; he’s a metaphor for the pack's own cruelty.
The Dangerous Debt Night after night, Crilla slips through the shadows, trading her safety for his survival. She offers him bread, wine, and the sharp wit that keeps his dormant mind alive. She thinks she’s being his savior. She thinks she’s in control.
She’s wrong.
The Eternal Claim Kane isn't just waiting for death; he’s waiting for the moon to align. And when the silver bars finally snap like dry twigs, the pack expects a massacre. They get one. But amidst the blood and fire, Kane doesn't run for the mountains. He turns back for the woman who fed him in the dark.
Crilla saved a King, but she’s about to realize that for a man like Kane, "thank you" is just another word for "you are mine."
If you love possessive Alphas, witty heroines who refuse to cower, and a "fated mates" story with a dark, spicy edge, Claimed in the Dark will leave you breathless.
