"You're not my mate!" Beta Gavin Marino screams, his anger evident. "I can't accept you. No one will ever accept you after what you did." "I reject you, Gavin Marino!" The words stun me even as I say them. My heart aches, but it's what's best. He hates me. No one will ever love me. I cry silently, but I wipe my tears away. Crying doesn't change anything. I need to leave this pack before I lose myself completely. Gavin accepts my rejection, though he seems to be in pain, even though it's what he wanted. I turn and walk away, heading back to the packhouse where everyone treats me with disdain. A few days later, I feel relentless. I can't bear the pain any longer. On a rainy night, I make my escape. However, I'm brutally attacked on the border of the Sapphire Lycan Royal Pack. Falling in and out of consciousness, I hear a roar that shakes my core and the ground beneath me. "You touched my mate; you'll pay for this!" It can't be—it's the voice of the most powerful man in the realm, the Lycan King, Alpha Nicholas Lavista. I feel sparks and tingles on my arm. "I've got you now." Those words guide me into the darkness. Apphia's life has been brutally harsh. She has faced mistreatment from her pack members and suffered the pain of her mate's brutal rejection. Feeling completely alone, her circumstances take a dramatic turn on a fateful night when she encounters her second-chance mate—the powerful and dangerous lycan Alpha. Little does she know that she is in for the ride of her life. As things become increasingly complicated, Apphia discovers that she is no ordinary wolf. Tormented by threats to her life, she must confront her deepest fears.

Nagunaw ang mundo ni Odessa Gabriel nang mahuli niya ang boyfriend na si Samuel na nakikipagtalik sa kaniyang best friend na si Mila. Hindi niya akalain na magagawa siyang lokohin ng kasintahan sa mismo niyang kaibigan, at dahilan pa nito, nagawa niya lang iyon dahil hindi pumapayag ang babae na makipagtalik sa kanya. Lubos na pinahahalagahan ni Odessa ang pagkababae, kaya naman inilalaan niya ang una nilang gabi kapag ikinasal na sila, ngunit hindi nakapaghintay ang nobyo. Dumagdag pa sa problema ni Odessa ang utang ng yumaong ama na kailangan niyang bayaran. Wala siyang pamilya at wala siyang ibang aasahan kundi ang sarili niya. Agad siyang nag-apply bilang sekretarya sa malaking kompanya. Hindi siya nakapagtapos ng kolehiyo, pero likas siyang matalino kaya naman pinalad siya at natanggap. Huli na niyang nalaman na ang boss niya pala ay walang iba kundi si Nicholas Romero, tiyuhin ni Samuel, ang itinuturing ng ama at taong tinitingala ng dating kasintahan. Guwapo, matipuno, at matalino, ngunit mailap sa mga tao si Nicholas. May pumasok na hindi magandang ideya sa isip ni Odessa… Ang akitin si Nicholas. Maganda siya at maganda rin ang katawan kaya naniniwala siyang kaya niya iyon. Alam niyang nilalagay niya sa panganib ang sarili sa gagawin, ngunit desperada siyang makaganti sa dating nobyo. Kaya naman ginawa niya ang lahat upang mapansin ni Nicholas. Madalas na siyang mag-ayos at magsuot ng magagandang damit. Ngunit tila bato ang amo dahil hindi ito nadadala sa mga pang-aakit niya. Pero lahat ay may hangganan, isa na roon ang pagtitimpi ni Nicholas.
