Claimed by the BeastA Feral Monster Mate Romance

The brides come back wrong.

That's what they say about the Beast King's mountain — the ones who return can't stop screaming, and the ones who don't return are the lucky ones. Every decade, a woman is sent up. Every decade, she breaks.

Evangeline volunteers. Not because she's brave. Because she's the fourth princess, the one whose chair disappeared from the dinner table without anyone mentioning it, and the arithmetic is simple: three sisters with futures, one sister with an herb garden and a talent for walking toward things that should kill her.

She expects a monster.

She finds one. Seven feet of fur and claw and three hundred years of silence — a creature who retracts his claws before he touches her face and sleeps outside her unlocked door like something guarding a thing it's afraid to want.

He's terrifying. He's the most careful thing she's ever known.

When Eva's presence begins to undo his curse — pulling the prince back out of the beast — she faces a choice no bride was ever supposed to make.

The kingdom wants the prince restored.
The curse wants a woman's love to break it.

Eva wants the monster who reads her fear through her fists and her courage through her eyes.

Choosing him means stopping the cure. Choosing him means treason. Choosing him means being claimed by something that doesn't know how to hold back — and discovering she doesn't want him to.

For anyone who ever rooted for the monster and meant it.
