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

Do it, do it, forfeit this challenge, get Rosemary and her mate free of Darius' ire.

I say to myself, but, but I just can't.

Elias returns to my head in this moment, and I ask him.

"Why exactly do I need to make Darius fall for me?"

"Your Instinct, grants you access to the body of wolves. But, Darius has a particularly strong will. For you to be able to reach into him and get the answers I seek, he has to let his guard down for you, he has to trust you, more than anyone else."

"What answers is it you seek Elias?"

"Answers, that will surely make him fall."

I grip tight to the railings, then I look Darius in the eyes.

A sudden fire explodes within my heart.

"I won't give up. I will make you love me!" I scream, only realizing myself a second later.

But as I do, I find something in Darius' eyes which I'm not too familiar with.

I can't tell exactly, but, it feels like, amazement.
