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

As night fell, I had asked Celine to help escort Rosemary out of Darius' castle.

Not as a ploy, but as a genuine and confident request.

Said request had been met with a little astonishment when she saw Rosemary's bag and when I told her that Rosemary wouldn't be returning.

Of course she immediately made it plain to me she would be asking Darius first, which...I did not falter against.

Upon returning, I knew with a hundred percent certainty Darius would let Rosemary go.

But, as I found Celine coming back, ready to tell me what he had decided, I felt myself somewhat quivering, no matter how hard I tried to trust in him and myself.

And alas, when she told me what Darius had said, I...felt my heart further rend in half.

Because it was finally official, that Rosemary would be leaving me.

I was in too much pain to appreciate and or be happy for the fact that Darius accepted my request.
