Jasmine is the first daughter of the great Alpha Bale.
Because of her status as a bastard child, she lives a life maltreated scrubbing floors and attending to the needs of her father, step mother, step siblings and the entire pack.
But her life makes a drastic turn when she is switched in place for her father’s legitimate daughter to be married off to the Handsome and Cold hearted Alpha Xaden. 
Xaden is determined to punish Jasmine for the sins of her father who had massacred his entire family, even though she is nothing like her father. 
Hate slowly turns to desire, fierce passion and finally love.
But what happens when Xaden discovers that Jasmine, was planted as a spy to bring his downfall and was not in fact the original princess he was promised to?

"Let this be a lesson to everyone. Royal or not, Alpha or Omega," He declares. "You will steer clear of what is mine. In my own territory. In my pack." 
With that, he tosses the bloodied arm aside and takes Jasmine away from their shocked gaze.

The Alpha’s Unwanted Bride

Once I finished my chores, I went into the healer's quarters and found Loren awake and busy with his work.

He looked up from his glasses. "Good morning."

I took a deep breath and walked up to him. "Thank you for last night. You gave me your bed and slept on a cold bench." I told him. "Please, you're an old man, and you must lie on your bed. I'll take the bench."

He rose from the herbs he was chopping and looked at me. "With those marks on your back, how do you intend to heal?"

Hadn't I suffered a much worse fate at home? I was sleeping on the bare floor even though my back still bled.

"Yes, but it doesn't matter," I said. "You have done more than enough for me."

Didn't he understand? I was grateful for what he had done for me, but my conscience would never let an older man suffer on my behalf.
