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 wait for Elias to speak, to tell me the truth.

"About...about his reason for wanting you alive, am I right?" Elias asks, but I'm not too sure as to what exactly he is asking about.

"That's when you felt me lying, wasn't it?"

"When I felt...I don't understand, have to lied to me other times?" The uneasiness I felt earlier begins to creep onto me.

"I don't know what to think Elias, I don't know anything."

"It's him, isn't it? He's the one filling your head with doubts for me."

"You lied to me Elias, that's what matters right now. And I need to know if I can trust you, so...tell me the truth." I find my voice uncontrollably stern as I speak.

Then I call upon Darius' Instinct, so I can...know if he is...lying to me.

I can't believe it has come to this.

Elias ducks his head, defeat and hurt evident in his eyes just before he dismisses my gaze.
