“Funny how the best things are the ones you are not supposed to touch,” he murmured. His voice was low and husky. It curled under my skin and made me shiver.

They called me fat. A wolf-less hybrid. A disgrace to the Alpha King. Even my mate thought the same of me. So I broke the bond—ended what should have never begun.

For six years Selene Marlow loved her husband. For six years he was sleeping with another woman. She found out the morning of her first ultrasound, when his mistress sent her a video of them together from the night before. By that afternoon her husband had asked for a divorce and by evening she had lost the baby from the shock. She went home to her parents' house broken and bleeding and her father met her at the door with a man in a black suit and a contract in his hand. Her father had lost again. This time the only thing he had left to bet was her. The buyer was the most feared man on the continent. The Alpha King, forty-six years old. A widower, war criminal in the eyes of some packs, god in the eyes of others. He was also her ex-husband's father. Everyone in the kingdom assumed she would be used and discarded within a month. Instead, on the night he bought her, the Alpha King looked at her bruised wrists, her hollow eyes, her shaking hands and offered her something no one had ever offered her before. A crown. A throne. And the heads of every single person who had ever hurt her. The only condition? Become his wife.
