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.

"No." I snapped at Orion who reeled as though I had just slapped him across the face, and I wish I had. I wish I would because maybe he deserved it.


Maybe he deserves it for hoping that I would willingly allow this madness he was stewing; for ever thinking I'll let him take Dahlia from me.


My wolf howled at the thought… it was not a good one; and it made me mad. So mad that I wanted to throw a fist at him. So mad that I almost forgot how he was one of the few people I still loved. I shook my head.


"Zarek, that girl is in danger; and I am not saying that you cannot protect her, but the person who hurt her lives here… in this fortress. Not mine. Moreover, her daughter who now lives with me needs her. She's friends with mine–"


"Maybe they should live with me then." I snapped, interrupting him. "Since the daughter is the only solid argument you have to back up this madness you talk about, then bring her here. I want her to live with me."
