You know those dramas where the male lead spends so much time being awful that you spend half the story waiting for his downfall? Yeah, this is one of those. After a tragedy destroys two powerful wolf packs, Ann Reed is forced into a mating bond with Alpha Dane Montague, a man who blames her for his family's death. Instead of treating her like a mate, he spends years making her life miserable, convinced she'll never mean anything to him. Eventually, Ann reaches her breaking point, severs their magical bond, and disappears without a trace.But this isn't a story about Ann coming back heartbroken. Years later, she returns as Aurora Moon, the wealthy and powerful heir to a royal wolf pack. She has a new life, a new identity, and absolutely no interest in getting tangled up with Dane again. Naturally, that's exactly when he starts paying attention.
