When the Rutmark rises over the forests beyond Varrow's Edge, the old warnings return: do not bleed in the trees, do not follow the glowing flowers, do not look for the Beast. Nyra ignores them-for a price she can't refuse-and stumbles into a den of heat, shadows, and a horned guardian who claims her with a single look. His name is Varrek. He is not human, but he is not a mindless creature either. He protects his territory. He keeps what he claims. And he wants Nyra.As blood-moon fever ignites the woods, desire turns feral and tender in equal measure. What begins as a dangerous bargain becomes a sanctuary of rough devotion, worshipful touch, and fierce aftercare. When the village tries to take her back, Nyra must choose: the safe path home, or the Beast who made the dark feel like belonging.Bred in the Beast's Den is a stand-alone, high-heat monster erotica novella with a possessive protector, size-difference spice, breeding kink, and a guaranteed emotionally satisfying ending. All acts are enthusiastically consensual.
