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

After almost two hours in the stupid party, two hours in a meeting, one more in a presentation, one more signing several dozen documents, three speaking with some politicians and and then finally three more overseeing the renovation of a hotel, the day finally draws to a close with me feeling a universe of exhaustion weighing down on me.

It only now dawns on me how much work Darius has to do in a day.

For the past couple of days I've been following him to work, I usually spend some hours waiting in one lounge or the other, today though, I decided to follow him all through.

Either as a result of that notion I got from Witsburg about Darius knowing my secret, or, the strange feeling of uncertainty that had settled in my gut, which seemed to only be quelled by my proximity to Darius.

'Do you think you can really trust Elias?' Witsburg's words play on loop in my head like a very bad echo.
