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.

“Ready?” I ask, making my way to the mansion’s exit. 


As he moves forward, he attempts to touch me, but I quickly move out of his reach. I wasn’t sure if it was the way he had looked at me earlier or nerves, but the thought of him touching me left me with a strange feeling. 


Remaining silent, he examines me, but when he doesn’t speak, I heave a sigh of relief. 


“There is a car waiting for us. Let’s get going.”
