One deal, one mistake, one impossible choice.

All I ever wanted was to escape the world of wolves - not be forced into a loveless marriage with Ashton, the Alpha of Nightclaw, and be tied down forever.

But being the only human in a pack of wolves, my desires mattered little.

Desperate to stop the wedding, I make a mistake — one that makes Ashton realize how much we both despise this mating.

So he offers me a deal: marry him, give him an heir, and then I can walk away, leaving Nightclaw and him behind forever.

I take the deal, knowing it is my only way out, believing I can walk away unscathed.

When love is the last thing you expect, it becomes the only thing you need.

We tie the knot, and he claims me as his Luna.

But as I get to know him, I do the one thing I swore I wouldn’t - I fall in love with the Alpha.

The man who had vowed to let me go now held my heart in his hands.

He was bound to me by duty, but he claimed my heart by choice.

Love does not follow rules, and neither do the secrets lurking in the shadows.

When Ashton’s buried secrets resurface, shattering my heart, I am left grappling with the truth of our relationship.

His haunting past — the truth about his true mate — unveils thorns that wrap around my heart.

Had Ashton ever truly loved me, or had the lines between love and hatred blurred for me alone?

Love was never part of the deal, but neither was betrayal.

As the ghosts of the past threaten to tear us apart, a startling revelation shakes my core.

I am pregnant with the Alpha’s child.

He was supposed to be a means to an end, but he became my everything.

Then the girls in the pack begin disappearing, and a sinister threat comes to light.

With enemies closing in and betrayal lurking around every corner, the pack’s survival is on the line, and I find myself right in the middle of it all.

When you fall for the Alpha, there’s no running from the wolves.
