The Pakhan’s Auctioned Bride by Deva Blake

A much older Pakhan buys me like a commodity and forces me into marriage.

He’s my best friend’s older brother, and he broke my heart because I’m too innocent for his world.

But when I’m lifted from my dorm and sold at an auction, he buys me to protect me.

The next thing I know, he takes my virginity and knocks me up with his heir.

I didn’t know he’s been shadowing and monitoring me, obsessed with my every move.

I’m just a psychology student, unaware of the lengths he’ll go to, to get what he wants.

I’m bound to a chair and disoriented when he shows up as a knight in shining armor.

But a knight wouldn’t purchase me and force me to sign a marriage license.

His shades of gray are so dark that they ink my world in black.

His kiss reminds me of the past, of how he used to claim my mouth, then rejected me.

He says I’m his, that he’ll do anything to protect what’s his.

He says he won’t let me go, that he’ll burn down the city to keep me safe.

When my belly grows bigger and bigger…will the Pakhan claim me for good?
