I was sold at an auction, then forced to marry the highest bidder.

I've always been a lone shifter, used to taking care of myself.

Until I get kidnapped to a dungeon and put up on the auction stage.

My body reacts every time he looks at me, until it succumbs to the heat.

His scorching mouth plays with the helplessness I find myself in.

His controlling touch heals the loneliness inside of me.

I'm catching glimpses of the primal wolf underneath the fur and wonder…
