Emmeline's mother died traumatically when she was young. She was taken in by King Linus, a human king, and raised like his daughter, regardless of the fact that she's a witch. Once she turns 25, she's asked to fulfill and obligation to King Linus, by entering into an arranged marriage to the Werebear prince of the southern lands, Prince Jaekob. He abuses her and forces her to become a Lycan and since she still has her magic, which is rare, she's molded into an obedient weapon with violence. Instead of rejecting her new Lycan counterpart, she’s relieved and excited to have someone to share in the torment with. She's to be sold at an illegal black market underground auction the day she’s to shift for the first time. The Lycan King, Lucian, catches wind of this illegal auction and goes there to break up the auction. However, when his eyes land on Emmeline, he’s struck with the force of seeing his destined mate for the first time. Due to the abuse she’s endured, she's shut down and he doesn't know if he'll ever get her to come out of her shell. She falls back into Jaekob’s abusive hands and is whisked away to a place far from Lucian’s grasp. Will he be able to save his broken Luna?
