Abigail is the daughter of a once proud but now dying pack, a pack that would do anything to restore their position amongst the greatest packs once again.

But luckily for them, Abigail catches the attention of Darius, alpha of the most powerful and dangerous pack in America. 

She is at once given to him as a bargaining chip more so than a bride, as a means to cement her pack's relationship with that of Darius'.

Now Abigail will have to survive this prison she calls a marriage to the monster wolf Darius, while also trying to suppress her feelings for her true mate Elias.

But this is easier said than done, because amidst finding the secrets to her past, and plotting with her true mate to escape and bring down Darius, she will find herself bearing feelings towards him, and learn everything to be more complex than she initially thought.

And it all starts with Abigail trying to make Darius fall for her.

"I don't know how you got that idea into your pretty head, but Darius doesn't fall in love."

"There's a first time for everything."

"A first time huh?" Darius' voice echoes into my ears.

"You have two months to make me fall for you. But if you fail, I'll kill your best friend Rosemary, her mate, and every member of your pack."

Mated To The Wrong Alpha

"What did you say?" Darius turns to me, and I find the words a knot in my throat, sticking there and refusing to move an inch.

"I'm, sorry, alpha." I say, spitting the words out as fast as I can.

After which, I feel his gaze still upon me.

The beating of my heart is relentless.

"You're asking for my forgiveness?" He asks, with a neutral voice.

I nod, the only response I think to give.

"What I did was wrong," I say, caressing the totem in my pocket. Wondering if it is working, or just that I haven't told a lie yet. "I betrayed you, and, and I'm sorry." Again, I know this much, but I still wonder, above the beating of my heart, if the totem is working.

Of course it will work, my mate would never put me in harm's way.

I jump when I hear footsteps echo into the hall, and at the corner of my eyes, I can see the maids coming in with trays and more trays.
