Hoarded by the Alpha: A Spicy Dragon Shapeshifter Romance
Alisson Bento
I stole from a billionaire sociopath, wiped my own memory, and fled into a freezing mountain blizzard to die. Instead, I crawled directly into the jaws of a god.

I don’t know who I am. I don’t know why I’m running. The only thing I know is that the heavy, crystalline artifact in my backpack is the reason heavily armed mercenaries are hunting me through the lethal peaks of the Cascade Mountains. Desperate, freezing, and pushed to the absolute brink of human endurance, I seek shelter in a warm, dark cave.
But the cave is breathing.
I haven't found sanctuary. I’ve stumbled into the lair of Zephyr Silvern—a towering, seven-foot-tall apex predator who rules the mountain. He is a dragon shifter of ancient, terrifying power, and the artifact I’m carrying belongs to his bloodline. By all the laws of his kind, I should be executed for my trespass. Instead, the monster looks at my bruised, shivering body, and his golden eyes burn with a dark, primal obsession. He doesn’t kill me. He claims me. He locks me deep within his sweltering, golden subterranean vault, declaring me the most priceless treasure in his hoard.
ZEPHYR
For ten centuries, I have guarded the Aerie in absolute, unyielding isolation. When a fragile, filthy mortal dares to bring my stolen ancestral drive back to my threshold, I intend to crush her. But the moment my skin touches hers, the ancient, feral magic in my blood violently rewrites my destiny. She is my mate. She is tiny, profoundly breakable, and entirely mine. I will bathe her, I will feed her, and I will protect her from the corporate army battering against my stone gates.
But my beautiful little thief is hiding a catastrophic secret. The glowing, geometric scar carved into her spine isn’t just a brand—it’s a highly volatile, parasitic homing beacon drawing a corporate warlock’s armada straight to our door.
I am the sovereign of the mountain, and I will burn the Pacific Northwest to the bedrock before I let anyone take her from my hoard. Even if the greatest threat to my sanctuary is the very woman sleeping in my bed.
