Novels by Sophia Bloom

Audrey's POV I walked back to the dressing room, though I couldn’t remember putting one foot in front of the other.Every step felt heavier than the last. The other girls would ask how the night had gone.What was I supposed to tell them?That the most feared Alpha in the kingdom was my mate… and he hadn’t recognized me?The dressing room buzzed with laughter when I stepped inside.I slipped my porcelain mask onto the vanity and rubbed my face with trembling hands. My skin felt strangely warm, and no matter how deeply I breathed, I couldn’t seem to draw enough air into my lungs.Mate.The word still echoed inside my head and I squeezed my eyes shut.No. It had to be a mistake.The Moon Goddess couldn’t possibly have paired me with Kairos Thornheart.Could she?“Audrey’s back!” Dalia’s excited squeal snapped me from my thoughts.Before I could react, the girls surrounded me, each trying to ask a different question at once.“What was he like?”“Did he really come alone?”“Was he as ha

Audrey's POV I couldn’t get a word out. My mouth refused to work and every instinct begged me to run.Yet something about those amber eyes rooted me where I stood.“Forgive my forward thinking,” he bowed then smiled and walked back to the couch. “What do you have for me?”I was still terrified. But beneath the fear… curiosity stirred.Why me? Out of every girl in Bertha’s Place… why had he chosen me?I smoothed my hands over the backless mermaid gown clinging to my curves like a second skin. The fabric plunged low in front, barely containing my full breasts, and the open back exposed the dimples at the base of my spine and just a little glimpse of my ass. One performance. That’s all this was. He was just a customer. A dangerous one, perhaps, but still a customer.I had done this hundreds of times before. Then why did my hands refuse to stop trembling?I stepped farther into the room, my hips rolling in that sultry rhythm I had perfected over years at the club. “Well, darlin',” I

Audrey's POV “The Alpha wants you in the red room tonight.” Madame Bertha stood in the doorway with her red lips pressed into something that wasn't quite a smile.She only ever looked like that when she wanted something she knew you wouldn't want to give.“The… Alpha?” I echoed, barely trusting my own voice.Around me, the changing room fell into stunned silence.A girl halfway through curling her hair froze. Someone else knocked over a bottle of expensive perfume, the sweet floral scent spreading across the wooden floor. No one bent to clean it. Even the usual chatter died as every pair of eyes landed on Madame Bertha.I set down my mascara wand very slowly. "Why would the Alpha want me?”"That's not my business, sweetheart." Madame Betha stepped fully into the room. She was a tall woman even without heels, and her large breasts were straining through the overly tight shirt she wore. It was her signature look. Her hand came to rest on my shoulders and she grinned. “My business

Kairos’ POV "Is she pretty?The council chamber turned to look at my son with expressions ranging from stunned to deeply offended. Damien sat at the far end of the table with his chin propped in his hand, a bored look on his face.Ryker, the head of war, cleared his throat. "With respect, your highness. This is a matter of political importance. Being pretty doesn’t-“ "I'm just asking," Damien said with a shrug. “I mean, we’ve been at war with the Bluemoon pack for so long. If we’re doing this treaty then I should at least get something out of it.” The council members shifted uneasily, some of them clearing their throat and others mumbling under their breath. "Damien." I warned, giving him a stern look. “That’s enough.”He frowned but no one said a word and I let out a deep breath. "The marriage will happen," I said. "Lady Leslie Ashton and her family arrive tomorrow morning and the wedding proceeds in two days as scheduled.”I held up a hand before Councillor Draven could speak
