"I'd like to make a deal with you." I swallowed hard. “A deal? What kind of deal?” With all the desperation in me, I summoned the courage and spoke up, "Take me as your mate." Thrown out by her father, betrayed by her mate and best friend, Lena had nothing left but a dying mother and the determination to save her. Lena was alone, cornered and desperate. That’s when he appeared, an enigmatic Alpha with storm-grey eyes and a secret of his own. He needed a mate. She needed a miracle. So she offered a deal: A fake bond. A contract marriage. No feelings. No strings. He saved my mother. She helped him silence his bloodthirsty Council who demanded for his mate But as the full moon nears and their fake bond begins to grow into something real. Something… not part of the deal. Her heart began to ache at the thought of leaving. Would she be able to walk away easily?
