Illaria When I'm sold to a brothel to pay off my father’s debts, I resign myself to living out the rest of my life as an abused slave. But fate has other things in store for one night, I'm tasked with serving a Kraken client who turns out to be the answer to all my prayers. Drayden isn’t any regular Kraken, either. He’s the king of the oceans, the supreme ruler of the waters. And he doesn’t want to violate me or use me. Instead, he wishes to marry me and make me his bride. Grateful for his kindness, I agree to wed him. But becoming a queen isn't easy. I’ll have to get used to Kraken customs—including the one that requires Drayden to breed me in front of his court to prove that we’re mates on our wedding night. Once I'm pregnant, Drayden lavishes my creamy mounds with attention every night. But when my ugly past catches up to me and threatens to take away my newfound happiness, only true love can save the day... 1-click now for a sweet and steamy monster romance novella (15k) a taboo age gap, fated mates, breeding, knotting, tentacle action, and pregnancy with a bit of lactation kink.
