After being betrayed by her fiancé and cousin on her wedding day, Zara, reborn with memories of past mistakes, vows to rewrite her destiny. Impulsively, she marries a stranger to keep her ex at bay, not realizing Snow is far from a mere call boy. 

Snow Zephyr, a wealthy CEO and alpha of the Ivory Crescent Pack, needs a contract wife to appease his father and secure his position. When a bold, determined woman proposes a marriage of convenience, Snow agrees, unaware of the chaos she will bring into his life.

Zara's defiant choice provokes her parents' fury, leading to her being cast from the company and forcing her to find work elsewhere. She lands a job at Aurora Conglomerate Inc., only to discover that her new boss is Snow, the very man she married—and her ex's uncle.  Sparks fly as their mutual attraction grows amidst the darkness of his family's secrets and looming threats.

Zara’s strength and independence captivate Snow, who begins to see her as the potential Luna his pack needs. Together, they face vengeful ex-lovers, kidnapping plots, and deadly rivalries. As Zara's powers awaken, she must confront the reasons behind her family's disownment, the hidden clauses in her marriage contract, and her ultimate role in Snow’s world. 

When their marriage of convenience deepens into a genuine partnership, a new challenge emerges in the form of a fated mate. Will Zara fight the dangers that await or embrace her true destiny?

**EXCERPT**
"I... didn't want to be late for work. You seemed busy, so I thought I'd get a head start."

Snow raised an eyebrow. "Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?"

"Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all."

He smirked, stepping closer. "Is that so?"

His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. "We're at work," I snapped, swatting his hand away. "This isn't professional."

"You're my wife," he murmured. "You're supposed to obey me at all times."

I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips.

"Careful, Boss," I purred seductively. "Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them."

Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?"

Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance against—" 

I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless.

Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow

The night stretched on, the burning sensation dulling into an unbearable ache. My body was exhausted, but my mind refused to stop replaying every moment, every touch, every whisper I had once shared with Snow.

And now, he was giving those moments to her.

When the first rays of sunlight peeked through my window, I felt hollow—empty.

I couldn't keep running from this. I needed answers.

Swallowing the lump in my throat, I reached for my phone and opened our message thread. I stared at his name for a long moment before finally typing out a short message.

I hesitated, then added an address—a quiet, private place where we could speak freely.

Somewhere, neither of us could hide.

And then, with a deep breath, I hit send.
