The Gladiator's Forbidden Mate

She was brought to the arena as a prize. He was built to survive it. Neither of them expected the bond that would change everything.

In the wolf-ruled empire of Varath, humans exist to serve and wolves exist to rule. Lyra has spent her life perfecting the art of invisibility, surviving on wit and careful observation where others relied on power. When her father's debts bring the empire's enforcers to their door, she is stripped of everything and delivered to the Ironmoon Arena as the season's prize, a trophy to be awarded to whichever gladiator spills the most blood.

She has no intention of being won.

Kael Dravon has been the Arena's undefeated champion for six years, surviving on discipline and the deliberate absence of hope. He stopped wanting things the day his pack sold his contract to the highest bidder. Then Lyra arrives in chains, and his wolf recognises her in the space of a single breath. She is his fated mate. She is also the one thing in this empire he has no right to claim.

But Kael doesn't want to claim her. He wants to free her.

With a corrupt Arena Master running a dark ritual that threatens them both, and a series of increasingly brutal fights standing between Lyra and freedom, Kael must do the impossible while the fated mate bond threatens to unravel every wall he has ever built. And Lyra must decide whether the man fighting for her is someone worth fighting alongside, and whether being chosen, freely and without condition, is something she is finally brave enough to accept.
