Viona Rogers, the elusive daughter of an Alpha, has always rejected the notion of finding her destined mate. Yet fate intervenes when she discovers her soulmate is none other than Damien Trevisan—the formidable Alpha King himself, ruler of all werewolves. Bound by contract rather than love, their arrangement was meant to be purely political. But resisting Damien's intoxicating presence proves impossible, and Viona finds herself drawn into a world far more dangerous than she imagined. Dark forces circle, hungry for Alpha blood, while sinister secrets lurk in the shadows—secrets that threaten everything they hold dear. As Viona fights to protect her king from those who would destroy him, she uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than either of them could have foreseen. Can she navigate the treacherous path between duty and desire, or will the darkness consume them both?
