I see his muscles flexing under the thin linen of the shirt. I also notice the outlines of a scar, running down his forearm. I imagine his hands on me, his lips on mine. What is happening… Why am I thinking this? “Oh, don’t worry, Lily. “ his smile is canine, the words that come out of his mouth are a snarl, “I won’t touch you. I don’t want to. “ When her mother got sick, Lily had no choice but to marry a man she never met. At that time she didn’t know Arthur Stark was not only beautiful but as cruel as the rumours said. Her husband is a cold billionaire involved with the mafia. He never touches anyone. Not even his own mate.

Her life knew no purpose until she met him; Her Alpha. Her redemption. Aria was born into poverty. She lives like a normal human, unaware of the existence of werewolves or the supernatural world. Abandoned by an ex-lover, Aria hopes never to fall in love. Her father’s constant gambling habit puts her family in debt to a notorious loan shark and they must find a way to pay up within a short period. Only a miracle can save them. When an arrogant Hayden Slade comes into her life with an offer to bear a child for him, it feels too good to be true. But just maybe, he could be the miracle she prayed for. As the alpha of one of the largest werewolf packs, Alpha Hayden Slade has accomplished almost everything he wants for his pack, but not without a price. For a cursed Alpha counting the days to his death, his greatest challenge is providing an heir for his pack before his demise. But what could be worse than the curse of untimely death? Being mated to a weak Half-blood that has no idea of her identity. A weakling that can never be his Luna. He offers her a deal to bear him an heir, not wanting any form of attachment to a half-human, half-wolf. Catching feelings isn’t a part of the deal, but what happens when he finds out that only she holds the power to break his curse? What happens when Aria discovers the real reason behind his offer and her place in the transaction? With an obsessed ex desperate to become his Luna, and a psychotic enemy who wants to overthrow the Alpha, will their bond stand the test of time? Or will Aria desert her mate when he needs her the most?
