All her life, Elara's gold-digging mother treated her like a price tag, constantly arranging husbands for her; usually wealthy, old wolves willing to pay enough for her hand. But Elara never cared about money. She only ever wanted one thing: to marry Derek, the boyfriend she actually loved. So on the night they were supposed to elope, imagine her surprise when she caught him in bed with her mother's precious golden daughter, her own sister, Vivienne. Heartbroken and too exhausted to fight, she returned home only for her mother to immediately announce another wealthy husband. For once, she didn't argue. "Fine. I'll marry him." The next day, numb and barely paying attention, she went to the courthouse. She saw a handsome man waiting outside simply dressed. Didn't look rich at all. She assumed her mother finally went for looks instead of money. She signed the papers. Only after bringing her new husband home did she discover the truth. Her mother was hosting a marriage meeting for Vivienne, who was now sitting beside a different wealthy man. Her mother took one look at Elara's new husband and screamed, "Who the fuck is he?" That was when Elara realized she married the wrong man. Her mother humiliated him, called him poor and worthless, and threw them both out. What her mother didn't know? The quiet man Elara accidentally married was Kai Draven, one of the richest, most feared billionaire Alpha wolves in the country. He was at that courthouse waiting for his own contract bride to secure his Alpha title. And now that Elara accidentally became his wife? He wasn't particularly interested in correcting the mistake.

She wanted revenge on her cheating fiancé. Instead, she ended up in the arms of the one man she should have feared. The night before her wedding, Violet discovered her fiancé in bed with her best friend. Heartbroken and furious, she made one reckless decision: she would give him a taste of his own medicine. One night. One stranger. One mistake she could never undo. Violet never expected the mysterious man she'd spent the night with to be King Hades, the ruthless Lycan King and sworn enemy of her kind. But the moment she discovered the truth, it was already too late. He had marked her as his. To Violet, it was a mistake between strangers. To Hades, it was a claim he had no intention of abandoning. When he offered to claim her pack and restore her dignity, Violet wanted nothing to do with his promises. Lycans and werewolves had despised each other for generations. How could she trust a king whose people were her enemies, especially when she didn't even believe he could love her? But Hades had other plans. He wanted Violet as his bride, and he wasn't about to let her walk away from the bond that tied them together. Violet had only wanted revenge on the man who betrayed her. Now, she's caught between a broken past and a dangerous king who refuses to let her go. Will she become the Lycan King's greatest weakness, or will being marked by him destroy everything she has left?

Bound together by a marriage neither of them wanted, Lily and Ace must learn to survive each other — and the dangerous secrets surrounding the mafia family. But what happens when hatred begins to turn into something neither of them expected?
