Bought By the Wyvern by Cara Wylde

I’m a creature of possession. What is mine, remains mine. Forever.

Years ago, a servant girl fled my palace after a… let’s call it “regrettable incident”. Tonight, I find her standing on a bride market block, selling what’s left of herself to the highest bidder.
An amusing turn of fate. The other monsters never stand a chance. A wyvern always reclaims his property.
I pay an obscene fortune, and when she looks at me with delicious defiance in her eyes, I tell her the simple truth: I’m not buying a wife, I’m buying a servant to return her to her rightful place.
Now she’s trapped in my gilded cage, and her hatred is the most exquisite torture. She thinks she’s my prisoner, but she has no idea. Having her hate me under my own roof is a luxury I’ve earned and a pain I plan to savor.
