By the Laws of the Pride

They say a wedding is the happy ending of a love story. I believed that too—until my newlywed husband brought me to his house to introduce me to his father. Power emanated from this man: it frightened me, and at the same time drew me in like a magnet. But something strange was happening around me. It felt like I’d been taken into a closed community—with their secrets and their rules. And then I found out the incredible truth—I’m his duty: he is the head of the pride, and now I must obey their laws.
