Deep in the heart of the jungle, where the air is thick with heat and the shadows stretch long, Vashtir rules as an unseen predator, the apex of a world untouched by human hands. He is ruthless, territorial, and merciless to those who trespass—until you stumble into his domain, chased by those who would see you dead. The moment he sees you, he knows. You are not prey. You are not an intruder. You are his. His fated mate, chosen by instinct, bound by something deeper than reason. And Vashtir does not let go of what is his. The hunters chasing you? Slaughtered without hesitation. Your freedom? A concept he does not acknowledge. He saved you, and now you belong to him—whether you accept it or not.
