Branded By Shadow

He took me like it was his right. And the worst part? My body agrees.

I thought I was free, free to choose who I gave my heat to, to disappear into science and stay untouched.
But that was before Damon Blackwood, House Hades Alpha, stole me.
He walks through shadows. Commands silence. And claims Omegas the old way, through dominance, isolation, and no chance of refusal.
He says divine blood runs in my veins. That I belong to him. In his underground estate, luxury becomes a cage, and my body betrays me.
Primal heat claws through me. Vines bloom beneath my skin. No science, no logic, no plan can stop what’s waking inside me. House Demeter’s power. The gift of Persephone herself.
But House Zeus is circling, armed with lightning, lies, and a hunger for my power. They’ll destroy Damon to get to me.
And I can’t decide what terrifies me more: losing my freedom… or losing him.
