BLED DRY BY THE ALPHA’S CROWN
READING AGE 18+
I wasn’t supposed to survive that night.I saw his face. I saw what he did. And I ran. God! I ran like my life depended on it, because it did. But you don’t outrun Caius Draven. Nobody does. His wolves caught me in under four minutes, dragged me to my knees in front of him, and I looked up into the coldest pair of eyes I have ever seen in my life and waited to die.He didn’t kill me.I almost wish he had.Instead, he kept me. Tucked me inside his fortress like a dirty secret, surrounded by wolves who could smell that I was different and hated me for it. I had one rule which was to stay invisible. I had one goal which was to survive long enough to find a way out. I had no idea that the longer I stayed inside those walls, the more something buried deep in my blood was waking up. Stretching. Remembering things I was never taught.Then I found out who sold me to them.The one person I trusted. The one person I thought was safe.And that was the moment I stopped being afraid and started being dangerous.My name is Astoria Sinclair. I spent twenty-two years pretending I was ordinary. No pack. No wolf. No past worth claiming. Just a quiet life and a very convincing lie.But the wolf world found me anyway. Dragged me underground. Showed me exactly what I came from and exactly what they’ll do to bury it again.They should have killed me when they had the chance.Because now I know what I am.And so does he.

I lay on that narrow iron bed and stared at the ceiling and replayed it on a loop she didn’t die in an accident, I know because I was there, until the words stopped sounding like words and started sounding like the ground disappearing under my feet.
He was there.
Caius Draven was there when my mother died.……
