Avelina Ferguson, the daughter of a billionaire, was mistakenly placed in a situation that forced her despised father, whose desire for unending power drove him to make drastic decisions. She had become entangled with a man by accident, which resulted in them having an affair without their consent. An affair that should never have happened. 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? What will happen when Avelina finds out that she is not just a human but more than that? a creature that Lucian despises. A creature that has always been the nemesis of his kind for thousands of years. Will Lucian keep her when he discovers what she is? Or will he send her back to her father? 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.
