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?

Ito na kaya ang ama ng kanyang dinadala? O may mas higit pang rason kung bakit sila muling pinagtagpo ng tadhana?

Si Elena Madrigal, isang sikat at hinahangaang fashion designer, ay kilala sa kanyang Majesty Designs, mga obra na simbolo ng karangyaan at kapangyarihan. Ngunit sa isang iglap, ang mundong itinayo niya ay gumuho sa kamay ng mga taong minsan niyang minahal at pinagkatiwalaan, ang dating kasintahan niyang si Adrian De Leon, na ninakaw at ipinagbili ang kanyang mga disenyo, ang matalik niyang kaibigan na si Vanessa Alcaraz, na nilamon ng inggit, at ang boss niyang ginamit ang kanyang talento para sa sariling ambisyon. Habang unti-unting nabubura ang kanyang pangalan sa industriyang minsan niyang pinasiklab, isang lalaking matagal nang nakamasid sa kanya mula sa dilim ang lumapit. Si Nathan Arguelles, isang makapangyarihan at misteryosong billionaire. Tahimik ngunit mapanganib. May tinig na kayang bumura ng alinlangan. At sa isang boses na malamig at mabigat sa pangako, bumulong ito: “Be mine and marry me, Elena. I’ll give you back the world they stole from you.” Ang kasunduang ito ay hindi tungkol sa pag-ibig, kundi sa paghihiganti. Para kay Elena, ito ang tanging paraan para muling mabawi ang lahat. Ngunit sa ilalim ng mga halik na nilalabanan niya, sa bawat titig na tila binabalatan ang kanyang kaluluwa, unti-unting nagbabago ang laro. Sa pagitan ng pag-ibig at paghihiganti, kailangang  piliin ni Elena kung mananatili ba siya sa apoy ng paghihiganti o hahayaan niyang ang lalaking dapat sana’y biktima lang… ang maging dahilan ng pagbabagong hindi niya inaasahan. Paghihiganti ang dahilan niya…ngunit ang nakaharap niya, ang lalaking kayang baliktarin ang lahat.
