Bought by the Wild Roc: Monsters' Bride Market

A bride auction. A Roc untouched for two hundred years. A nest he builds around her while she sleeps.

WREN

When my uncle's creditor raises a paddle to claim me, I do the only reckless, impossible thing that might save me. I choose the monster in the shadows instead.

Tavrin is nothing like the horror I braced for. He fills my room with books I've whispered about only once. He brings me tea before I know I want it.

He watches me like I'm a treasure he's spent lifetimes searching for. But I can't curl into safety. Not yet.

TAVRIN

I bought her to free her. Now I'm the one undone.

The mate bond snaps into place, and the change follows. Wings splitting skin, instincts narrowing to one command: claim, protect, keep.

But her past threatens the only family she has left. And to save them, I must choose between two impossible things:

Let her walk away. Or risk tearing myself apart to bring her and her sister home.
