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

The maids get me ready rather fast, to a degree that I was even showered against my will.

Everything about it felt very violating.

But now I'm done, and heading towards the dining hall.

Which does a good job of elevating the stress that settled in my heart and thoughts.

Stress, stress pertaining to the thumping of my heart, in a way I don't want to understand.

And stress in a way that I imagine Darius showing me Rosemary's head on a plater.

The image raises the hair on my body, and I suddenly become colder.

I tap my pelvis, feeling the totem carefully tucked away in the shorts underneath my gown.

I think about Elias, and I feel some form of strength surfacing within me.

I take a deep breath, and I keep my focus forward.

We make it to the dining hall, and inside, I find Darius, seated in his throne seat.
