Si Alexandra Jane Diaz ay isang book illustrator na simple at ordinaryong namumuhay araw-araw kasama ang aso niyang St. Bernard na ang pangalan ay Smarty. Nang isang araw ay sadyang pagkainteresan siya ng isang kapritsusong estranghero at basta na lang alukin ng kasal. Ang pangalan nito ay Daniel. Si Daniel St. Claire ay isang tahimik subalit magaling na negosyante. Isa siyang uri ng lalaki na maraming baliw na ideya at mas nanaising manahimik kaysa magsalita pero magaling magpatsutsada o mangulit. Mahal niya ang kababata niyang kaibigan na si Sarah. Si Sarah Geneva Kale ay isang magandang babae na nagmamay-ari ng isang makulay na flower shop. Hindi niya alam na ang batang lalaki na nagustuhan niya ng bata pa siya ay mahal pa rin siya hanggang ngayon hanggang sa napagpasiyahan nito na magpakasal sa isang babaeng hindi niya kilala kaysa sa kanya. Damay sa gulo't buhol ng pag-ibig at pagtatago ng mga puso, kailangan ni Alex na sumabay sa plano ni Daniel at magpakilalang pekeng fianceé nito hanggang makilala niya ang mahiwagang Sarah Kale. Makakatuluyan ba ni Daniel si Sarah at ang dalawa ang magpalitan ng "I do" sa altar? O makakatugma niya si Alex sa isang hindi inaasahang pagbabaliktad ng tadhana?

"You are no one to me. You are nothing, and don’t ever expect anything from me. You were brought here to play the part of a Luna and satisfy my sexual desires," my mate and new alpha said, without any remorse or affection in his gaze. Tears welled up in my eyes, but I refused to cry for the man who sleeps with other women in my presence. I looked him in the eyes and answered, "Yes." "No," he growled. "Yes, Alpha," I repeated, and he walked past me. Once he was out of sight, my legs gave out, and tears rolled down my cheeks. "You’re pregnant, Luna. Congratulations." My world stopped as I looked at the doctor. She was happy that the pack would have an heir, but I wasn't. You can't be when you've suffered so much at the hands of your fated mate. So, I ran. I ran and ran, but it wasn’t far enough to escape the mighty alpha. Follow me on Instagram - @authorsunshine97.
