Their numbers had shrunk to almost nothing. “It's the only way I can help protect your pack moving forward. It is too complicated with two alphas running around here. Take the offer or leave it.” Rhett said through gritted teeth. Aldric took a deep breath, part of him hated himself, hated himself for letting it come to this. Hated that he felt like he wasn't strong enough to keep going. He hung his head and dropped to his knees.

His reputation isn't just because he hails from the renowned Silver Luminaries Pack, but also due to his fierce nature and intelligence. Enemies shudder at the thought of facing him, thanks to his exceptional combat skills. He's also a master tactician and strategist. However, beneath his fame lies a dark secret—he is not a natural-born Alpha. Hunter is the sole survivor of an experiment, a fact known only to his adoptive father. Despite his widespread acclaim, questions linger about Zen. People wonder why he remains unbonded, as he is the last child of the Silver Luminaries' leader without a mate. Zen disregards this, believing an artificial Alpha like him is unlikely to form a mate bond. This changes when he meets Aleah De Luna, the granddaughter of his father's friend, who arranges to marry him. From their first meeting, Zen understands why his family chose Aleah—she is weak and wolfless, a total outcast in the Guevarra family. Initially, Zen accepts the marriage to honor his father's wishes and repay his debt of gratitude for raising him. But when he discovers that Aleah is his fated mate and witnesses her near-death experience, Zen cannot bear to see her in danger. Determined to protect her, he vows to reject her as his mate. This decision brings forth the greatest challenge he has ever faced, far more daunting than any battle. Even his Demon Alpha persona cannot withstand the charisma of Aleah.
