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..." Darius stutters again, and I discover he finds it difficult to keep my gaze.

He turns his sights to our surroundings, and I'm forced to follow suit, as the beautiful murals that once made up the walls around us fades underneath, and is replaced by stained glass windows.

Laminated so its various minimal and individual colors glitter.

I lose my breath at the beauty of it, the art, the shimmer gleaming off the glass, everything about it feels, ethereal.

"I already told you, perhaps." Darius finally speaks up, pulling my attention.

I stare into his eyes, and I'm not satisfied with his answer.

Beyond all timidness, fear and being tongue-tied whenever I'm around him, I speak.

"That's not good enough." I say, and...I find astonishment in Darius' eyes.
