My parents made a terrible mistake, and I'm paying miserably for it. Growing up in a strong pack, I should've been living my best life. But after my parents' treason and their death, I'm labeled a traitor, an outcast. I suck it up because I deserve it. But when I'm accused of a crime I did not commit, I know I can't continue living like this. Then I have my first shift, and I'm mated to someone who doesn't want me. Somehow, I'm captured and sold to the most vicious and dangerous shifter in the country, Theo Gavi. But despite the unnerving attraction I feel when I'm in his presence, despite my wolf's yearning for him, I can't bring myself to be close to him. I shouldn't. Not when I have been hurt before. Right now, I would do anything to be free—to live my life on my own terms.

The myth of The White Wolf has been told for centuries across pack houses around the world. Parents tell it to their offspring as bedtime stories, an old wives tale, the story so saturated and changed over time, every story has become different.

He is no babysitter, he is known to be one of the most ruthless alphas of all time, conditioning his pack to be the most loyal. But he has a debt to pay to the Starlight pack, and he always pays his debts. He reluctantly agrees to house the girl, but as soon as he lays his eyes on her, he instinctively knows she is like no other wolf he has ever encountered. Her eyes hold secrets better left undiscovered, and the longer she stays with him, he knows he is in serious trouble. The girl might just be his mate...

Because once an alpha claims what is his, he never lets go.
