Her spirit, though captive, harbors a yearning for freedom. In a daring bid to break free, Lara strikes a perilous deal – she agrees to become a spy, with King Marcus as her target. King Marcus, a stormy-eyed libertine with an aura of dominance, is grappling with the impending threat posed by Alpha Felis, the demon king. Racing against time to save both his kingdom and his wolf, Marcus encounters Lara. A mysterious spy, she becomes a tantalizing temptation that challenges Marcus's command over his own fate. Caught in a web of intrigue, Marcus is faced with an impossible choice: protecting his kingdom or succumbing to the allure of his unexpected mate. Will Lara prioritize her hard-fought freedom and turn away from the mate she never sought? Or will she relinquish the only desire she's ever known for the sake of an uncertain destiny? The stage is set for a gripping tale of love, loyalty, and the ultimate price one must pay for freedom.

"What baby?" he said, trying to keep his calm. "The swirl is getting smaller. We have to make it in time!"

"Hold on, Lara!" he snapped at her. "You can do it!"
She shook her head. "Noooo!" The swirl was doing something to her. She felt like magic cutting her flesh and trying to fight with the swirl.
"Lara!" Marcus said. "Look at me!" Aether spilled out of his eyes as Lara focused on him.
Her magic forgot about the swirl as it started rooting for her mate. Everything became slow in motion. 'Claim us…' her magic hissed.
