Alexander Blackwood has ruled the Blackwood Mafia Syndicate for five years, taking the throne at only twenty after his father’s death. Now, the older syndicate leaders are demanding he settle down and choose a wife—but Alexander refuses to marry simply for appearances. Deep down, he’s waiting for something he refuses to admit exists: his **fated mate**. Y/N was once the princess of Aurelia, until she was kidnapped at ten years old and raised to become a deadly assassin. Love, romance, and marriage have never crossed her mind—until one fateful night when she stumbles upon Alexander after completing a job. The moment he sees her, Alexander knows. She’s his. But Y/N doesn’t feel the bond. Her mate instincts remain locked away, buried beneath years of training and survival. Now Alexander has a new mission: protect the princess he never knew existed, help her rediscover who she truly is, and awaken the bond between them. Because Alexander may rule a criminal empire… But Y/N is the one thing he refuses to lose.
