By order of the Governing Body, I thee wed… I always knew I would someday be forced down the aisle, bound in holy matrimony to some faceless Alpha who would demand my submission and my obedience. Whether I wished to give it or not. Someday, it seems, is today.Only, it’s not some stranger I’ve never met at the end of the aisle. It’s the man I’ve spent months secretly pining for, the man who stood by my father’s side as they took the business world by storm. My protector. My boss. My husband. Jeffrey doesn’t simply demand my obedience. He takes it without hesitation, as though my surrender was rightfully his all along. Perhaps it was, since a single look from him is all it takes to drive me to my knees. But though I bear his mark and his command of my body is the most exquisite pleasure I’ve ever known, I can’t help but wonder if he’s truly capable of being the Alpha I need… Or if our love was doomed from the start. Bound to the CEO is a darkverse arranged marriage story with themes that might be appropriate for some readers.
