The Serpent King Calls Me Master

The Story

Mara stands as the city's most powerful Tamer, subduing the fiercest shifters with ease. When Cassius brings her the unbreakable Serpent King, Sylas, she successfully tames him, yet a silver mark on her neck deepens to form a mate bond. Enforcers arrive to expose her human status, but Sylas kisses the mark and reveals he has known the truth since she saved him. He orchestrated the entire situation to reach her. Betrayal strikes when Kit the fox turns against her, leading to a violent hunter attack. Sylas descends into a feral state and imprisons Mara in an island tower. She commands him to open the door, then beg her to stay, declaring it the only thing he can do.
