“Papá, por favor! Por favor, não faça isso!” eu implorei com as mãos. “Está feito, Tegan, o contrato está assinado. Você vai embora hoje à noite para ser a companheira contratada do Rei Alpha. Você dará a ele um herdeiro em três meses, ou você vai se arrepender!” Ele rugiu, seu rosto mostrando o quão bravo ele realmente estava. Eu chorei em silêncio pelas cartas que o destino me deu. Eu serei nada mais do que uma máquina de fazer bebês para o Alpha mais cruel conhecido, Ezra Hendricks. Tegan Declan era uma loba tímida que nasceu surda. Começando uma nova vida como uma loba com deficiência em uma nova matilha. Ela é a nova companheira contratada do Rei Alpha, Ezra Hendricks. “Ser surdo era uma qualidade que eu odiaria que meu filho tivesse. Como loba, você precisa de todos os seus sentidos para poder liderar, proteger e sobreviver. A falta de audição não beneficiaria ninguém, poderia levar a uma destruição em massa e à perda de muitas vidas. Não seria uma boa qualidade para um rei. Isso me trouxe de volta à minha pergunta. O que a faz pensar que está apta a ser minha Rainha? Eu quero saber quais são as forças que ela acredita ter. Elas superariam suas fraquezas?”

Seven years ago, Emerald Hutton had left her family and friends behind for high school in New York City, cradling her broken heart in her hands, to escape just one person. Her brother's best friend, whom she loved from the day he had saved her from bullies at the age of seven. Broken by the boy of her dreams and betrayed by her loved ones, Emerald had learned to bury the pieces of her heart in the deepest corner of her memories. Until seven years later, she has to come back to her hometown after finishing her college. The place where now the cold-hearted stone of a billionaire resides, whom her dead heart once used to beat for. Scarred by his past, Achilles Valencian had turned into the man everyone feared. The scorch of his life had filled his heart with bottomless darkness. And the only light that had kept him sane, was his Rosebud. A girl with freckles and turquoise eyes he'd adored all his life. His best friend's little sister. After years of distance, when the time has finally come to capture his light into his territory, Achilles Valencian will play his game. A game to claim what's his. Will Emerald be able to distinguish the flames of love and desire to keep her heart safe? Or she will let the devil lure her into his trap? Because no one ever could escape his games. He gets what he wants. And this game is called... The trap of Ace.
