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

I kept at the punching bag for several minutes, each time getting it to move further and further back.

I can feel myself getting stronger, but the rate at which I am doing so is alarming.

As I had kept hitting the punching bag, I felt something coursing through me.

The same sensation I get whenever I channel an Instinct from Darius.

Which means I am currently using an Instinct to improve involuntarily, but a thought swifts through my head.

Will this improvement last if I get on wolf's bane?

I stop hitting the bag, and I take a breather.

"Why are you stopping? Already tired?"

"No, it's just. I think I'm channeling from Darius."

"So that's why you improved quickly."

"Is that the Instinct he is permitting at the moment?" I ask Celine, wondering if I am doing that thing where I channel Instincts that weren't permitted by Darius.
