Fate can be a funny thing. One minute, you are the beloved daughter of a powerful alpha, and the next, you're nothing more than a tool used to join forces with another strong pack. And if you don't go along with what is expected of you, the one who is using you for personal gain will make your life a living hell and destroy anything that is precious to you.
Because of this, Denali Ozera finds herself married to the cold and ruthless Rosco Torres, alpha of the Crystal Fang pack and enemy not only to her, but her entire family.  But by some weird twist of fate, Rosco isn't what others say he is, and he is even willing to help Denali get back everything that was meant to be hers.
Together, Denali and Rosco devise a plan to destroy Denali's father and her stepmother and sister. All Rosco asks for in return is Denali's mind, body, and soul.

Forced To Be His Bride-Fated To Be His Mate.

Denali’s words are strong and clear, despite the tears that are brimming in her eyes. And despite the quiver of her lip, her gaze holds steady, and the hatred there is like a knife to the heart. 


No, I couldn't let her continue to fool me. This was all a fucking trick, and I wouldn't be played the fool. 


“How?” I hiss, removing my fingers and taking a step back. “Everyone knows…” 


“What my father wants them to know,” she finishes for me. “Are you one to believe everything you’re told without any solid proof?” 


Solid proof? There was plenty of fucking proof! When it came to pack gatherings and events, the gossip was deafening. However, here I was with that very daughter, and I was finding that she wasn’t what she was said to be. 


“This has to be some trick,” I growl, narrowing my gaze. “Did that bastard send a fake in place of his daughter?” 


As I speak, I reach out and grab Denali’s arm and tug, pulling her off the bed and then across the room.
