All Joyce Feather wanted was to leave her pack and become a teacher in the human world. She'd planned it for most of her life, preparing herself to have enough control over her nature to join the human world. But when a letter came through the mail asking for the hand of her older sister for marriage, everything went down the drain. The letter claimed that her older sister is the mate of the Alpha of the Winter Snow Pack, a dark and haunted place with too many ghost stories and terrors about the wolf that leads it. Joyce's life was turned upside down when her parents insisted on sending her to the other pack instead of her older sister, tying her with a duty she could not refuse. The Winter Snow Pack is led by the Blind Alpha Ollen Kingsmen, a broken man who ruled his people with an iron fist. A prophecy told by the witch of the pack led him to believe that he had to be mated right away even if he didn't want to, so he accepted his fate without knowing that his actual mate was not going to be the one who would show up for the ceremony. Instead, he ended up being bonded to Joyce, who didn't even want to be a part of the supernatural world anymore. What happens when Joyce is forced to live a false life in order to protect her older sister from the cruel Alpha who seemed to have no remorse in him? What happens when she is thrust into the dead land of the Winter Snow Pack and the blind Alpha who rules it? What happens when Ollen Kingsmen finds out that he was betrayed from the very beginning?

One mark. One male omega. Alpha Kael doesn’t want anyone to find out his shameful little secret. He would mate with the she wolf provided for him. Alpha Kael Blackthorn was born to lead the Blackthorn pack. A powerful, cold, and vicious leader bound by traditions he would never question… especially the one that demands he marry the beautiful Lyria and continue the Blackthorn legacy. “Mate.” “My mate could never be a male. The moon goddess has to be mistaken or something.” One accidental mark triggered a forbidden bond. And now Kael is fighting more than just tradition. He’s battling his own desires, the fury of his council, and that growing rebellion inside him. Loyalty or love? Legacy or truth? Alpha or Mate? Just one choice.
