The negotiating rule in the packs was simple. You give what you took.

 The war and animosity between the Nightshade and Moonstone pack have been ongoing for centuries. But this time something drastic happened. The Nightshade pack lost their Luna. To maintain peace in the werewolf world, the council arrived at only one solution, a Luna in exchange for a Luna. And that’s where I got into the picture. 

 Astrid Brooks, 26 years old. A born princess. The only daughter of the 4 children of Moonstone’s Alpha. Married off as a peace offering to none other than Kael Knight, Alpha of Nightshade pack. A replacement to his late wife, his very mate, whose blood has still not dried from the hands of my father. 

From the life of a princess to a mere maid, from light to darkness and from being the most loved person to one detested with crazy passion. I became a mere replacement. And this was just the beginning of my story or should I say suffering.

A Deal with the Alpha Who Hates Me

And I feel a trail of warmth linger where his touch was.

What is this feeling? This warmth in my chest...

It's completely different from how I felt with those instruments Maeve used to stimulate me. This is stronger—wilder—almost carnal. The churning in my stomach makes my knees feel weak.

Did he really ask me for forgiveness? I'm at a loss for words right now.

A sharp, heart-lurching pain strikes my stomach, and my arms immediately wrap around it.

"Aghhh!" I stagger back, body crouched, face twisted in agony.

"Doll? Kae—Kael—" I whisper breathlessly as he palms my face with his hand, making me look at him.
