I was never meant to be chosen. Just an asset. A number on a screen. Something to be sold and forgotten. Until Jace Harrison intervened.
He’s the Silent’s deadliest weapon—a man trained to erase threats, not save them. Cold. Controlled. Untouchable. The kind of predator who doesn’t raise his voice because he never needs to.
He took me from the auction floor with a single word. Mine. Now I live under his rules, inside his silence, never sure if I’m protected… or claimed. Jace offers no comfort. No promises.
Only survival on his terms. I should want to run. I should fear what he’s capable of. But the most dangerous thing isn’t what he might do to me.
It’s how safe I feel when he decides I belong at his side. And once the Silent takes notice, escaping him is no longer an option.
