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

Not even letting me rest for a moment, a wolf comes in on me. Malcom to be precise. He just stands beside the swing, saying nothing.

'You didn't tell him.' I say, not even trying to erect myself. I know it would be a fruitless endeavor.

'I didn't.' Malcom says, his gaze fixated on the ground.

'Why?' I ask, but I'm not given a response right away.

'I couldn't.' He says those words with evident pain hiding behind them. A great pain that...I can very much relate to.

Grabbing parts of the swing chair, I force myself to sit erect. Yet I say nothing. It takes me way too long, but I finally realize what it is I want to say.

Malcom doesn't respond. And...I don't think I'll get a response.

His fallen demeanor tells me everything I need to know. Not answering...or now unable to, he walks away from the cabin.

I want to ask him where he is going, but...it doesn't feel right to do so. So I just watch him leave.
