"My soul ached and bled and tore at seeing my other half so hurt. There was nothing I could do for him right now. And it ate me alive inside."
The thrilling sequel to Rhuger’s Pearl. AMELIA With Rhuger and I finally letting go of our insecurities and becoming mates, I thought I would be free of Rìgh Orok's slimy grasp. Boy, was I wrong. Captured, beaten, and bound, I was forced to sit before Rìgh Orok on the ride to the Oc'Turin lands. When we finally arrived, Rìgh Orok was hailed a hero, Rhuger labeled a villain, and our baby growing in my belly laid claim to by our captor. Rìgh Orok thinks he can break me to his cruel will. But I've already survived his kind once before, and I'll do it again. Would Rhuger and I be able to survive the treacherous halls of the Oc'Turin clan, our bond holding true? Or would everything I'd ever wanted and needed be ripped from me forever? Regardless of what the fates decreed, nothing and no one would stand between Rhuger and me. Our future was too bright to be snuffed out by the likes of Rìgh Orok. And I was far more deadly than my soft appearance made me seem. RHUGER Pain was an old friend. Rìgh Orok had his bastard warriors beat me, whip me, and break me any way they could while I was forced to walk barefoot all the way to the Oc'Turin capital of Clach-tholl. My pearl, my mate, and cridhe rode at the front of the line, seated before my nemesis. Thoughts of shredding his guts for daring to touch my mate kept me focused and conscious. Rage was too soft a word for what I felt toward the wretched Rìgh, and he would pay the ultimate price for putting his claws on Amelia. But what would happen once Rìgh Orok was dead? Would the Oc'Turin welcome me back as their Rìgh? Or would they put me down like a rabid animal? Even if Amelia and I survived this, the challenges that lay before us were daunting. One thing I knew for certain. Rìgh Orok would be defeated and I would claim my cridhe, would see our bairn enter the world. No matter the cost. |

I have sought to be thorough in identifying potential triggers, both explicit and mentioned, including kinks and mental health awareness. This is for the comfortability of readers who are sensitive to triggering content and because I believe in the informed consent of my readers. If you find any mentions of triggering content that I have not included, email me at [email protected] so I can address it within reason.
Please note that chapter titles marked with an * mean there are explicit scenes. I’ve included mentions of triggering content below, though they are not specially marked in the chapter titles. Some triggers are generalized throughout the book and aren’t specifically identified in the chapter breakdowns (i.e. misogyny). I do not write rape scenes. However, characters have that as part of their backstory and there are questionable consent moments (immediately stopped, addressed, and resolved). List of General Triggers: Misogyny, Extinction, Gaslighting, Societally Expected Pregnancy, DV Survivorship List of Explicit Triggers: General Violence & Assault, Beheading, Abduction, Pregnancy, Head Trauma, Autistic Shutdown, Torture, Mutilation of Hands/Feet, Dismembered Arm, Concussion, Eye Injury, Neck Grip, Bruising List of Mentioned Triggers: Mentioned Sexual Assault, Mentioned Neurodivergent Conformity, Mentioned Mental & Emotional Abuse, Descriptions of Corpses, Descriptions of Wounds, Mention of Attempted Incest, Descriptions of Torture, Mention of Death by Beheading List of Kinks: Praise, Knotting, Pleasure Dom, Breeding, Exhibitionism, Primal, Bloodplay, Marking, Tandem Masturbation, Masochism, Overstimulation, Back Clawing List of Mental Health Awareness: PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks, IED, Autism, Emotional Release, Autistic/Neurodivergent Shutdown, Autistic/Neurodivergent Meltdown, Dissociation
