In a world where humans and wolves coexist yet remain eternally divided, a dark and dangerous romance unfolds. Isabella, a joyful and innocent orphan, has no idea about the hidden world of wolves, much less the secret war that has raged between them for centuries. Her life takes a fateful turn when she crosses paths with Aiden, an alpha wolf feared by all. Aiden is everything Isabella is not—rude, cruel, possessive, and arrogant. His hatred for humans runs deep, fueled by the tragic loss of his parents at the hands of ruthless hunters. Despite his disdain, he finds himself irresistibly drawn to Isabella, a connection that defies all reason. But this attraction is far from tender—it’s a dangerous obsession that threatens to consume them both. As their worlds collide, Aiden and Isabella are forced into a twisted dance of power, pain, and forbidden desire. Their tragic pasts haunt them, but it is the present that becomes a battlefield of wills, where every encounter is charged with a potent mix of fear, anger, and an undeniable, all-consuming passion. In this dark tale of love and hate, boundaries blur, and the line between predator and prey becomes dangerously thin. Can Isabella survive in a world where love is a dangerous game and the man who claims her heart may also be her greatest threat?

The night before my mating ceremony with Alpha Garrett Northwood of the Silverpine Pack, he held a grand Luna ceremony for my silver-poisoned stepsister behind my back. He held Serena close under the starlit sky, his smile tender in a way I'd never seen: "You're the only one I truly love, Serena." "Even though Maya and I are already registered as mates with the Alpha Council, she'll never have my heart. You're the only one I recognize as my Luna." The pack members cheered and blessed them as they completed the ceremony with joy. I watched it all without crying or screaming. Instead, I quietly scheduled an abortion appointment. I've loved Garrett Northwood for twelve years, ever since I first shifted as an adult. But his heart still only had room for my stepsister Serena. If that's how it was, I'd let go. Later, I joined the secluded Herbal Research Center of the Alpha Council. I left Garrett nothing but a mate bond dissolution agreement. But for some reason, Garrett—who had always treated me with disdain—suddenly went crazy begging me not to leave.

I was dying of kidney failure. Henry Colombo—the ruthless Mafia heir who once swore he’d burn the world to keep me alive— found me a donor. But the price… was her. Susan Miller, the woman who’d always lingered between us, smiled as she set her terms: “Be mine for one month. Pretend you love me—and I’ll save her life.” He agreed. He said it was just to save me. But every lie, every kiss, every photo she posted online was another nail in my coffin. Each time the surgery drew near, she invented a new delay—a fever, a nightmare, a tender bruise. And Henry believed her. He always believed her. The night my heart flatlined on the operating table, he was across the city, feeding her grapes under candlelight, whispering her name—the name of the woman who had let me die. When he finally learned the truth—that every tear she shed was rehearsed, every promise she made was poison— he destroyed everything. Her lies. Her wealth. Her family name. His own empire. But none of it brought me back.

The omega gasped, body heating up under the grip of the other's hands on his hips. Tears of pleasure clouded his vision and he fisted his hands in the silk sheets. "I can't..." he whimpered. "It's too much..." "You can," Xavier growled in his ear, a predatory glint in his eyes. "Arch for me, Sweetheart."
