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.

"Yes-s I did." I said even as my heart began to beat frantically against my chest. My hands felt clammy and my chest was tight. Tears streamed down my face as I stared pointedly at the floor, unable to look up at the Alpha.


That question felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. It was only a few words but it felt heavy. Tight. It felt as though I was being laid bare before the world, vulnerable and lost.


I couldn't answer. I had no answers. How the hell do I explain to them that I wanted to leave because I felt unsafe here? How the fuck do I tell him that their golden angel, Jennifer, was after me and my daughter?


Those were the only words I could say. The only things that in my haze, I could bring myself to let out. Fresh tears seeped out from my eyes when the crowd broke into an angry frenzy, and in a rushed tone, I quickly added; "I didn't do it. I didn't steal the money but I thought about fleeing."
