Branded a cursed wolf, Freya has lived in the shadows of a crime she didn't commit, the fire that killed the Alpha's Luna and her own parents. Powerless, scorned, and unable to shift, she's spent years silenced by a secret even she doesn't know. But when her reluctant appearance at a Pack ball leads her into the arms of Dante, the Alpha's heir and son of the very woman she's accused of killing, fate binds them in a way neither can escape. Forced into marriage, rejected by the pack, and betrayed once more, Freya vanishes, even believed to be dead… until fate brings them face to face again. Now she's no longer the quiet girl who once begged to be left alone. She's a feared attorney, a hidden mother of twins… and something far more dangerous than a wolf. What happens when Dante suddenly wants a second chance? What will she do when darkness tries to break down the walls she built.

I once thought I had the most dangerous yet the most perfect love in the whole world. My lover, Dante Costello, is the Underboss of the Costello family. He carries himself with grace and nobility. Everyone fears and respects him, yet he only shows his gentle side to me. I used to think that the man who keeps lurking in the shadows and has once left humiliating marks on me while gazing at me with cold eyes is his brother, Luciano Costello. Luciano is a Capo who lives in the shadows. He's also a madman whose hands are stained with blood. Everything changes when I smell the unique scent of gunpowder and blood that only Luciano has from Dante's custom-fitted suit. Only then do I realize that I have never just belonged to one man all this time. During the day, Dante plays the role of my perfect lover. He showers me with jewelry and deadly romance. At night, Luciano transforms into a devil who satisfies his twisted, possessive urges in the roughest way possible. Both brothers have set up an elaborate trap to lock me up in this gilded cage and admire my struggles from afar. When I find out about the truth, I don't cry or bleed over it. Instead, I'm filled with eerie calmness. The brothers want to watch me break down. Instead of doing that, I'll ruin them. I flutter effortlessly between the brothers, using their only weakness against them. Apparently, both of them think that they are the only hunters in this game. This time, it's my turn to weave them a trap.

Akala ni Georgina, matatapos na ang lahat nang gabing iyon. Isang desisyong dala ng desperasyon ang nagtulak sa kanya sa bisig ng isang estranghero. Three years later, the man who took her innocence, the cold and powerful Dante Tuscano, at ngayo’y bagong fiancé ng kanyang ina.

A família mafiosa Rossi seguia uma regra ancestral. Antes de se casar, o herdeiro recebia, todos os anos, uma única chance de tirar a sorte. Se tirasse uma sorte favorável, poderia escolher a própria esposa e escapar de um casamento arranjado. Dante Rossi tirou uma sorte desfavorável por cinco anos consecutivos, e eu, que namorava com ele fazia sete anos, nunca consegui me casar. Aquele já era o sexto ano. Por acaso, ouvi a conversa dele com Marco Valentino, o Subchefe. — Sr. Rossi, o senhor tirou uma sorte favorável de novo. — A voz de Dante carregava uma frieza que eu nunca tinha escutado antes. — Como sempre, troque por uma sorte desfavorável. Marco hesitou por um instante, mas ainda tentou convencê-lo: — Sr. Rossi, o senhor faz essa troca há cinco anos seguidos. Não tem medo de que Celia vá embora? Celia é a mulher mais bonita de Nopales. Metade dos homens da cidade corre atrás dela. Dante respondeu com absoluta convicção: — Ela não vai. Celia me ama demais. Nunca vai se casar com outro homem. Depois, continuou, no mesmo tom calmo: — Anos atrás, o pai de Livia morreu para me salvar. Antes de fechar os olhos, ele me pediu que eu ficasse ao lado dela por cinco anos. Quando este ano terminar, vou compensar Celia com um casamento grandioso. Ao ouvir aquelas palavras, o último fio de esperança dentro de mim se partiu. Dante provavelmente não sabia que a família Rossi ainda guardava uma última regra ancestral. Se o herdeiro não tirasse uma sorte favorável por seis vezes, perderia o direito de decidir o próprio casamento. E, em breve, eu me casaria com outro homem.

La famille mafieuse Rossi suivait une règle ancestrale. Avant son mariage, l’héritier avait droit, une fois par an, à un tirage au sort. S’il tombait sur un lot favorable, il pouvait choisir lui-même son épouse et échapper à un mariage arrangé. Pendant cinq années de suite, Dante Rossi a tiré un lot défavorable, et moi, qui étais avec lui depuis sept ans, je n’ai jamais réussi à l’épouser. Cette année, c’était la sixième fois. J’ai surpris une conversation entre lui et Marco Valentino, le sous-chef. « Monsieur Rossi, vous avez encore tiré un lot favorable. » La voix de Dante portait une froideur que je ne lui avais jamais entendue. « Comme d’habitude, changez-le en lot défavorable. » Marco a hésité, puis a essayé de le raisonner. « Monsieur Rossi, cela fait déjà cinq ans que vous le changez. Vous n’avez pas peur que Celia vous quitte ? Celia est la plus belle femme de Nopales. La moitié des hommes de la ville lui courent après. » Dante a répondu avec une certitude absolue : « Elle ne le fera pas. Celia m’aime trop. Elle n’épousera personne d’autre. » « Il y a des années, le père de Livia est mort en me sauvant la vie. Son dernier souhait était que je reste à ses côtés pendant cinq ans. Quand cette année sera terminée, j’offrirai à Celia un mariage grandiose en compensation. » Le dernier espoir qui me restait s’est éteint en entendant ces mots. Dante ne savait sans doute pas que la famille Rossi avait encore une autre règle ancestrale. Si l’héritier échouait à tirer un lot favorable six fois de suite, il perdait le droit de choisir lui-même sa femme. Et moi, j’allais bientôt épouser quelqu’un d’autre.
