The Captive Pet

A broken human, a battle-scarred alien, and a mission where desire is more dangerous than war.

Frey Bjorkson never imagined his supply run would end in chains. Torn from New World Colony Five and kept as a privateer’s pet, he clings to sanity through sheer will—until he’s gambled away to an even more intimidating Travian male. But fear isn’t the only thing stirring when his new master touches him with unexpected gentleness.
Rone once burned for glory, but losing his mate shattered his life. Now, deep undercover as a ruthless privateer, he has no interest in owning a human pet—especially a trembling, traumatized boy he has no time to comfort. Yet Frey awakens hunger he thought long dead, and claiming the human soon becomes more than a cover identity.
As Frey grapples with terror, confusion, and the slow bloom of reluctant trust, Rone’s covert mission pulls them deeper into a world of traitors, weapons smugglers, and deadly political unrest.
Pretending to be a brutal master is supposed to protect them both… but Rone’s growing need to shelter Frey shatters every boundary he swore to uphold.
When the mission turns perilous, survival depends on a bond neither meant to form—one forged in danger, desire, and the desperate hope of something more than captivity.
