Sold to the highest bidder at a supernatural auction, Lilith Brooks discovers freedom always came with a price—one her family was willing to pay. A daughter marked by scandal, abandoned by the only man she loved, Lilith clawed her way to success. But the moment she tasted victory—wealth, recognition, independence—her family bartered her away to a realm of monsters and moon-bound laws. Vladimir Dragunov rules the Lycan kingdom as Wintercrest Alpha and High Alpha of the Onyx Concord. Haunted by a shattered past and his sister's disappearance, the last complication he needs is a defiant human woman with a razor tongue, darker humor, and no respect for his authority. Yet Lilith carries the Lunar Crest, a mystical mark that could reshape their fate or unleash catastrophe. When Kustav Volkov emerges demanding kinship through cursed blood flowing through her veins, Vladimir presents an ultimatum: enter a blood-bound marriage that shields her from lycan vengeance, or face annihilation by wolf and law alike. What begins as a marriage of necessity ignites into something far more dangerous. As enemies clash, secrets unravel, legacies crumble, and forbidden desire consumes them both, their cold arrangement becomes a wildfire neither can control. But Lilith's past refuses to stay buried. A man who once knew her body now hunts for her soul—and he won't stop until he claims what he believes is his.
