She’s the wife he never wanted…and the weakness he never saw coming. Ruthless. Meticulous. Arrogant. Alpha Kael Darko of the moonhaven's pack thrives on control, both personally and professionally. He never planned to marry or even bothered to find a mate, for as long as he cared, he was okay ruling on his own —until the threat from the lupine council head forcing him into an engagement with a woman he barely knows. Rosie Nadal, the daughter of the lupine lord and his newest enemy. It doesn’t matter how beautiful or charming she is. He'll do everything in his power to be rid of her. There’s only one problem: now that he has her...he can't bring himself to let her go. ***Poise. Elegant. Rosie is the perfect daughter and her family’s ticket into being influential in the werewolf society. Marrying the moonhaven's Alpha means opening doors that would otherwise remain closed to her family. They could have an edge to whatever the Alpha say and run their business smoothly without anyone batting a look because they were part of the Alpha's family, it would be a dream come true. While the rude, elusive Alpha isn't her idea of a dream partner, she agrees to their arranged marriage out of duty. Craving his touch was never part of the plan. Neither was the worst thing she could possibly do: fall in love with the Alpha. Definitely not part of her year to do list.

In the world of werewolves, bloodlines and social status hold all the power. Ariel, the daughter of the Alpha of the Blue Moon pack, had always longed for her mate and all that comes with it but when she finds out her mate is a mere bodyguard, she rejects him without a second thought. Zeres, the bodyguard, is shocked and enraged by her rejection, but he's determined to get revenge. He has a secret power that only a select few are aware of - and he's ready to use it to his advantage. Ariel's father wanted to be one step ahead and appointed Zeres as Ariel's personal bodyguard, little did he know it was the perfect opportunity for Zeres to enact his revenge - and what better way to exact revenge than the proximity of the one you couldn't ignore. Besides the mate pull was still there even though she rejected him. But as Zeres spends more time with Ariel, he begins to wonder if his desire for revenge is clouding his judgment. Will his feelings for Ariel get in the way of his plans? And will Ariel's father's political ambitions stand in the way of their forbidden love?
