O.Fola
Ayla grows up in the frozen North because her brother is the pack’s strongest warrior, her life is safer than it once was. Then her brother captures the commander of the Southern Pack: an arrogant Southern wolf.
The prisoner is an Alpha Prince, one of the Southern Pack’s finest wolves—formidable in battle and gifted in strategy.
The Northern King wants to recruit the Southern prisoner, to humiliate the South and to use his mind for conquest.
Darius the Alpha Prince refuses to submit under torture. Someone advises the king to give him a wife and a child: Southern wolves value family and bloodline, and a family might become a chain strong enough to bind even the coldest wolf.
Ayla’s brother gives her an aphrodisiac and orders her to take it to the prisoner.
Ayla believes Darius must hate her. He refuses to look at her, and when he enjoys making love with her, he forces himself not to show it.
Later, when North and South fight again, Ayla gives birth to their child in chaos. But when Darius returns South, his father demands that he prove his loyalty by killing his biological child. Darius obeys, and Ayla believes he has thrown their child to its death rather than betray the South.
Five years later, Darius becomes the Southern Alpha, but he still remembers the three years he spent imprisoned in the North—and the barbarian woman who once pinned him to a bed, determined to have his children.
When war breaks out, Darius leads Southern warriors north and wins a victory. He sees Ayla again. He expects revenge, only to find that she appears to have married another wolf and has a child. He takes her back to the Southern Pack.
This time, she is his prisoner.
