What started as a contract becomes a collision of desire, dominance, and something neither of them expected—love.

Autumn Blake thought she knew what she was getting into when she signed with the Alien Seed Syndicate—one pregnancy, one payout, and a second chance at motherhood. But from the moment her biodome collapses and she’s dragged from the wreckage by a brutal Trionis warlord, nothing goes according to plan.

Sethar Vol didn’t want a human surrogate. He wanted a legacy, not a mate. But when Autumn's scent triggers a rare biological bond, he claims her—body, blood, and soul—whether she’s ready or not. Now, locked away in his cliffside fortress, marked with his bite, and tangled in rituals she doesn’t understand, Autumn must choose: fight the terrifying pull between them… or surrender to a power that goes deeper than science.

This standalone novella in the Wombs 4 Warlords series contains biological bonding, bite marking, primal claiming, breeding kink, captivity dynamics, and emotional edge-play. Expect high heat, intense power shifts, and a heroine pushed to her limits—physically, emotionally, and sexually. All characters are consenting adults aged 21+. Each book can be read independently with a new couple, a different world, and a fresh warlord waiting to fall.
