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.

I didn't go out to 'join the fun' just like Jennifer had put it as I could not bring myself to, knowing fully well that it would rip my heart apart. 


Dahlia's agonized cries alone were enough to unravel me, so I wonder what would become of me… wondered about how I would react when I got to see her suffering firsthand.


I shuddered as images of her sprawled across the hot field plagued my mind, and while my wolf howled at me to go save her… to pull our mate out of her misery, I couldn't bring myself to move an inch. Not when I had been the one to do this to her— pass the verdict— in the first place.


My heart ached tremendously and my breathing felt laboured. Truth be told, I wasn't even mad that she had tried to steal from me. Hell, I still didn't believe that she would do a thing like that. However, I was mad at something else entirely and I felt betrayed.
