Awakening The Stone GuardianA Steamy Fated Mates Monster Romance Short Read

I was raised to be a sacrifice—pure, untouched, destined to bleed beneath the sixth blood moon.
But when my offering cracks the stone, I don’t awaken a savior.
I awaken him.

The Gargoyle King. Gray-skinned, horned, his massive wings blot out the crimson sky. His glowing eyes lock onto me, and all he knows is hunger. Centuries of denial roar through him in a feral rut—and I’m the only one who can sate it.

Pinned to the altar, trembling beneath his heat, I should be afraid. Instead, I whisper the words that seal my fate: I choose you.

Now I’m claimed in stone and fire, marked by glowing runes and filled until the prophecy itself shatters. And when darkness rises for a final battle, I’ll stand at my guardian’s side—his mate, his queen, his forever.

Fated mates. Ferocious rut. A priestess undone by her monster king.
