"Personal servant to King Orpheus Selinofoto."

"What..." I whispered, horror flooding through me.

"You are to serve the king as his personal servant."

Every human in the palace knows what that means.

Micaela Whitlock has spent her entire life surviving beneath the rule of the shape shifters who conquered humanity a century ago. Invisible. Obedient. Forgettable. Her only goal is to stay alive.

Then the most feared ruler in the kingdom notices her.

King Orpheus Selinofoto is known as Diabolus Bestia, the Devil Beast. Kings respect him. Alphas fear him. His enemies never live long enough to seek revenge. Cold, merciless, and destined to marry a noble she wolf, he should never have looked twice at a human servant.

But Micaela is no ordinary human.

She is his mate.

For the first time in generations, the Moon Goddess has bound the Beast King to the daughter of the species his kind conquered. As whispers spread through the palace and enemies gather in the shadows, the bond between them threatens to shake the very foundation of the kingdom.

To protect her, Orpheus is willing to defy his court, abandon a political alliance, and declare war on anyone who stands in his way.

But can Micaela trust the monster whose hands are stained with the blood of her people, or will their impossible bond ignite another war between humans and beasts?
