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 find myself sinking into the water, but I believe this is the least of my problems.

With the whispers prevalent in my head and the numbness that follows, I discover that I can't even fight the creatures surrounding me.

I sense from them anger, hatred and bloodlust.

They're coming for me and...I can't fight back.

In this moment, as my body sways downwards in this ocean, images of Darius floods my head, images of him...dead.

If...if I don't dethrone him, this will be his fate.

But...how could I ever save his life, if he doesn't first trust me?

This truth, along with the images and the future that will unfold regarding Darius' fate, leaves me in agony I can't describe.

And all of a sudden, death doesn't feel so bad.

As the creatures close in on me, I close my eyes and I let go.
