I was supposed to become breeding stock. Instead, I became the only thing standing between the galaxy's deadliest gladiator and total ruin.
Kr'ua is a towering, horned alien champion feared across the arena. They call him a monster. A beast beyond saving. Chained, drugged, and one heartbeat from slaughtering everyone in his path.
Then they throw me into his cell.
Everyone expects me to die.
Instead, he kneels.
Now the stablemaster will do anything to keep his unbeatable champion under control, and Kr'ua will do anything to keep me by his side. Every day we're forced together, the bond between us grows stronger. Every battle makes him more dangerous. Every touch reminds him who he belongs to.
Because once the arena's monster chooses his mate—
No empire, prison, or king is taking her away.
