“I was just a wolfless Rogue, keeping my head down to earn a temporary sanctuary in the Blackwood Pack. But everything changed when Alpha Damien, spiraling into madness after his mate Chloe publicly rejected him, forced me into a dangerous game. He commanded me to be his fake lover for an upcoming Gala to shatter his ex's arrogant ego. I thought it was just a temporary business deal to secure my safety. Instead, it painted a massive target on my back. The high-ranking she-wolves sneered at me, calling me a filthy seductress, and Chloe herself stormed in, demanding I stay away from her Alpha. But the real nightmare wasn't the pack's hatred-it was Damien. The safe boundaries of our fake arrangement completely shattered when his act turned into a terrifying, possessive obsession. He trapped me in his home, his feral inner wolf purring at my scent, and kissed me with a consuming hunger that triggered my darkest memories of being abused by an Alpha. I didn't understand why the most powerful, ruthless Alpha in the region was suddenly obsessed with a broken nobody. Why did his maddened beast only quiet down when I touched him? I had sworn to never belong to an Alpha, to never be treated as property again. But when I tried to run from his manor, he didn't let me go. He locked me inside his private jet, caging me against the wall as his eyes flashed with a dark, predatory gold. "I don't care what you are, I just want you." As the cabin doors sealed shut, I realized the real battle for my freedom had just begun.”
