Orc’s Property by Celeste King

I don’t know how much longer I could have kept running from the Battle Frenzy orcs who were looking to kill me and my young nephew.
Finally, limbs quivering and breath in ragged gasps, I collapsed as they towered over us, ready to end our lives.
Until Jiwal saved us.
An orc from the Raging Storm clan, he killed the other orcs as easily as I would swat a fly. Then he took me and my nephew and brought us to his manor.
His kind has decimated our way of life. They trade humans for labor and as mates. My sister is dead because of them. And I’m not about to let them kill my nephew.
But there is something different about this orc.
I feel safe with him. I crave nestling deep into his gigantic body and being wrapped in his big arms. He is my savior and my home – something I’ve gone far too long without. I’d forgotten what it’s like to trust another being, but he’s reawakened that in me.
This orc makes my heart race. He’s noble and kind. My warrior. My protector. But most importantly…
My Beloved.
