Sacrificed to the Mountain Demon by Celeste King

I’ve waited so long to claim a mate.
And now that one has been gifted to me…
I will never let her leave.
Bella is mine.
To take. To please.
To own.
Her village gave her to me to save themselves.
But all I want is to care for my new bride.
The world may say it’s wrong.
But I’m not one to follow rules.
I only follow one thing. My own desires.
I take what’s mine at all costs.
And Bella becomes my most prized possession.
One I will protect until my dying breath.
Some say monsters do not deserve love.
But they don’t know about her and I.
She’s my fated mate.
And everything she has to give…
Is mine.
