The story
Three years a fake mate, drugged and never marked.
Sloane was assigned to the heir Royce, who spiked her drinks with suppressants, never marked her and humiliated her in public whenever it suited him. His brother Kael comes back, the one whose Thorne blood she recognised at a ceremony, with an offer of one night. One true bite breaks the fake bond. She carries Kael's pup, and Royce kills Magnus for the seat and takes her at seven months pregnant, confessing the lot of it to a ring that is recording live.
