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 the dreadful thoughts of the equally dreadful deeds I will have to commit settles into my head, I lose my vitality.

Not long after, I feel his eyes on me.

"Is...something wrong?" His questions almost melts my heart.

Time and time again, I'm reminded how he feels for me.

He loves me just as much as I love him, which is why...I find myself...hurting.

"Do you..." I clench my fists, as I find this question hard to spit out. "Do you...really forgive me?" I ask, keeping my gaze steady on the table.

The answer should be obvious, but I want to hear him say it.

Probably stupid of me as...the prospect of a different, unexpected response looms on the horizon as a possible answer

And the quiet filling my ears doesn't help.

"My...my feelings for you is, no longer a secret I should assume. And, you know it's because of those feelings I've...been distancing myself from you."
