To Dahlia, being sold like a commodity, while desperate old men clamored to have a taste of her was the height of degradation anyone could face, but little does she know that that was only the tip of the iceberg.

In a world where destiny is created and manipulated by the moon goddess, the last thing Dahlia expected is that a single night with the Alpha’s son would reshape her life—and not for the better, in her books.

Once the omega slave and the alpha’s plaything, Dahlia is faced with more challenges than she ever imagined. She is scarred beyond measure. Hurt, battered and desperate. 

She’s not an omega but a full blown werewolf, a werewolf with a strong dormant bloodline—a bloodline strong enough to scare even the moon goddess.

Her close proximity with Alpha Zarek had somehow managed to awaken her dormant wolf, opening her eyes to secrets she never knew about herself.

The mission had been to save herself. To get her daughter to safety and flee, so now imagine her surprise when she discovers a huge secret about him. A huge secret that has her questioning everything. 

Now hunted by the Alpha of her old pack and stalked by a vengeful man after her blood, Dahlia must navigate her tangled bond with her possessive new master. But as passion rises and secrets unravel, she must choose:

To save him and get to know about her real roots or flee— as usual. It would have been easy to take the easier route, the more predictable path but there’s a problem: She’s Alpha Zarek’s fated mate.

Dahlia was born for this moment. To have the entire world under her control. She’s not broken. She’s waiting. And she has no intention of backing down.

Their bond is a burden.

Their affection, a lie.

But the fire between them? The scorching engulfing fire burning between their veins might be real.

And even if it is, it will either unite them. Or end them.

The sight of her… oh, even the feel of her in my arms after so many months apart made my skin tingle in delight.


I sighed softly as I held her close, crushing her even deeper into my chest as I breathed in her scent. Deep down, I was afraid that this was all a dream, scared that if I let go, even if for a second that she would melt away, dissolve into that abyss that's been haunting me for years nonstop.


Elodie's choked gasps snapped me back to reality and again I smiled like a fool.


She chuckled awkwardly as she shimmied out of my crushing hold and then took a step back. However, the distance between us felt suffocating. It made my eyes water in pain. In desperation, I grabbed both of her hands, and even though I didn't hug her this time, I simply held her close, watching her creamy skin shine brightly under the dim lights and her gleaming red eyes draw me in just like it always does.
