A Duel with Darkness

The man who took me is everything I hate.
Luke dragged me from my home and shattered my world with a single I’ll give him the child he needs to secure his power. He calls it fate; I call it hell. He claims I'm his mate, but he doesn’t want a partner—he wants a prisoner. Someone to bend, to break, and bear his child in a bond I never asked for.

I’ll die before I submit to him.

But Luke is relentless, his eyes filled with fire and his touch impossible to forget. He says the darkness inside me calls to his, but all I feel is fury. He thinks he can claim me, but I’ll show him what it means to be untamed.

I don’t belong to anyone. Not even him.
