Beast Husband
In a world where beastmen rule and human females are raised in hidden sanctuaries to be chosen as companions, Kael, a young and powerful feline shifter, wants nothing to do with weak, fragile humans. He only came to the Choosing Ceremony to keep appearances for his family.
That’s when he sees her—a quiet girl with blood on her temple, eyes that refuse to lower, and a strange sharpness that doesn’t belong in a trained, obedient companion.
Kael chooses her on a whim. She’s supposed to be silent, soft, obedient.
But as days pass, her defiance awakens instincts he’s long tried to bury.
She shouldn’t make him curious.
She shouldn’t make his beast want to protect her.
And she definitely shouldn’t make his human side want more than a bond of ownership.
But when a hidden truth about her origins surfaces, Kael finds himself torn between the wild predator he was born to be… and the man she’s slowly bringing out.
