Her family worked tirelessly in agriculture, ensuring she received a good education, and she majored in Agricultural Soil Science. Her future seemed secure, with her marriage arranged to William, her father’s friend’s son. She was content—until tragedy struck. Their omega village was mercilessly attacked by the Alpha, who looted everything and killed her parents. Forced to flee, Autumn and Hanna survived in the forest for days, only to be captured by the Lycan King’s army along with other girls and taken to the kingdom as slaves. Zane Valerian Blackhowl, the 25-year-old Lycan King, is a ruthless and feared ruler who demands absolute respect. Scarred by his mother’s abandonment when he was just a baby, he despises women, seeing them as nothing more than tools for satisfaction. When brought before the king, Autumn refuses to accept a life of slavery. Instead, she boldly bargains for her and her sister’s protection, offering her knowledge and skills in exchange. Intrigued by her defiance, Zane grants her a chance—but in his world, trust is dangerous, and weakness is unforgivable. Will Autumn prove her worth and survive in the Lycan kingdom, or will she fall prey to the beast who refuses to love?

She wants a man she can never have, Alpha Nathaniel Cross, her mother’s devoted husband, a powerful alpha, and the man who practically raised her. Nathaniel has always been steady. Controlled.
