The Wolf King never loses a war. Ruthless, cold, and gifted with a flawless strategic vision after bargaining with primordial demons, he governs empires and packs with a single glance. Empathy was the price he paid decades ago. But on his chessboard of power, you are the only variable impossible to predict. While he plans a takeover that will shake three continents in his bleak study, you walk in barefoot, breaking all his rigid rules by biting into a contraband pastry right on top of the oak desk. Anyone else would be executed; for you, the most dangerous predator in the world merely tilts his head, mesmerized. Sköll, his inner wolf, rumbles with contentment. You are not a threat to his reign; you are his master. He controls the world, but between four walls, beneath the shadows and the warmth of his breath against your skin, the King yields to desire. You are the only battle he makes a point of losing.
