This man, Lucian Zvetch, the world's wealthiest man and a Lycan king to his own kind, is forced by Avelina’s father to marry her as a way of taking responsibility for her. But being a man of his own actions who takes orders from no one, and definitely not a mere human at that, he disagreed. "As long as she’s not pregnant, I have no responsibility." He declared. Mr. Ferguson smiled as he stared at him. "We will see how you prove yourself innocent when I accuse you of raping my daughter. I have evidence as well, even though it may be false evidence. But it will do. So it's up to you, Lucian. Marry her and save both your face and mine, or... lose your respect before those who idolize you." Will Lucian swallow his pride and marry Avelina to save the reputation he has built up in the human world, or will he stand by his word?

And what will Avelina herself do when she discovers that Lucian has a dark secret of his own as well? His little secret, he calls it.

My mother was the best portrait artist in the police station. She had a strong sense of justice and brooked no evil. However, all I got was a sharp retort when I called her to save me. "You know it's your sister's coming-of-age celebration today, and you're cursing her? Kidnapped, are you? Fine, the kidnappers can kill you for all I care." She assumed it was a prank call.
