    About this ebook

    The Sanctuary is my way out, a way to escape my father and the strangle hold he has on my life. I don’t want to be sold into a loveless marriage to help my father further his agenda and grow his wealth.

    But standing in an empty room, waiting to meet the man who paid for the pleasure to strip me of my virginity, I know I have made a mistake. It is too late though. There isn’t a way for me to walk back what I have done so I will have to live with the consequences.

    What I wasn’t expecting was to find the one man that wanted to free me from my father's hold, only to cage me in his own.

      Prologue

      Welcome to the Sanctuary. Here, once a year, the Black-Market Auction takes place.

      At the Sanctuary, anything and everything is available, for the right price. But the most prized items are the omegas.

      It’s a way for some of them to make money and better their lives, while for others it’s an escape. A way to be with a feared Alpha in the safety of the Sanctuary. But there are rules attached to the purchase of an omega.

      All purchases must be settled in full before you are allowed access to the omega.

      No one is allowed to permanently mark an omega.

      No one is allowed to claim an omega.

      You are only permitted twelve hours with your omega.

      Chapter One

      Jonah

      Tonight is the night.

      I have been planning this night for more than a year. I have been saving every dime of my money to ensure that once I get to The Sanctuary for the annual auction I can’t be outbid. I have a special omega in mind, and I will be the one to claim her.

      I happen to know she will be there tonight, auctioning herself off to get out of the life she is living.

      Autumn.

      My beautiful Autumn.

      Her father all but holds her hostage in their house, pretending to protect her. In reality, he is hoping to sell her off to the highest bidder. I know he is planning to use her to further his own status as an Elite Alpha and he doesn’t give a flying fuck what that means for her. He only cares about what it will do for him.

      Marrying Autumn off to the right Elite Alpha will not only net him a lot of money but once she is married and has children, the two families will be bound to each other and will help elevate his status. Money and social elevation are the only things that matter to men like him.

      How do I know this?

      I worked for her father as a personal bodyguard. For two long years I protected him, I put my life in danger for him, did everything he wanted. Hell, I’ve even taken a bullet for that bastard. I’ve seen him in action and he will happily walk over others to get what he wants, no matter what happens to anyone else.

      But then his daughter came home from boarding school. I never even knew he had any children and suddenly, there she was. A vision that nearly brought me to my knees. A beauty that should never be allowed anywhere near the likes of someone like me. Pure and untainted by the kind of life I have lived.

      It was lust at first sight. I couldn’t keep my eyes off her, and I couldn’t stop my mind from slipping down the gutter. I did my best to fight it, but it was always there in the background. So, I decided to talk to her father. Biggest mistake of my fucking life. He lost his mind when I asked if she was available for marriage. He cursed and shouted before firing me on the spot.

      Even though I couldn’t be around her daily, I still had eyes on her. A friend of mine is part of her father’s protection detail and he passes me information I would otherwise be unable to access. Making sure she is safe and happy has always been my highest priority.

      I spent the next year and a half taking the most dangerous—and most lucrative—assignments all over the world. Anytime I was not working, I was stalking the woman that filled my every thought, waking and sleeping. Making sure she was safe even if I couldn’t be there to protect her myself.

      I know more about her than anyone else does. From her favorite colors and food, to the songs she sings when she thinks no one is around to hear her off-key singing. I know she longs to live a life away from her father and all the expectations that have been thrust upon her. At the auction, I plan to buy her for the night, but I don’t intend on letting her go after that. I already have a house set up for us—even if it’s not as fancy as an Elite Alpha can offer her—with everything she could ever want or need. The perfect way for her to escape from her current gilded cage.

      I will be keeping her forever. Now all I have to do is beat everyone at the auction and convince her she wants—needs—to be with me.
