Name: Dark Mate
Author: Allegra Rose

85 pages

Ellie has never seen the wasteland.
Raised in the Gilded Cages—the Ordained’s perfumed prisons where women are kept to be presented to unmated Shades—she knows silk sheets, the daily rites, and the serene voices of Eunuchs who tell her this is holy. She has never held a weapon. She has never been hungry. She has never been touched by anything harsh or hard or dominant.

The Shadow is the most dominant male for miles.
He stalks her through the Cages for weeks before he takes her. Near-black skin, jagged asymmetrical horns, silent as the deep canopy he claims as territory. When his feral switch flips, there is no gentleness inside him. He takes her hard, deep, and fast—and he doesn’t stop.

His wings and tail cocoon her in absolute darkness. She can’t see. She can only feel. The venom drowns her senses. The vibrating knot bring her untold pleasure. The constant mating strips her down to raw sensation until Ellie—sweet, pampered, compliant Ellie—discovers she is something else entirely.

Something that crawls back to him in the dark to beg for more.
