The sheets were still warm from the night I gave my innocence to my Alpha fiancé when I heard the laughter through the door. He wasn't planning our wedding; he was promising his friends they could "take their turn" breaking me once he was finished.

My parents ignored my screams, blinded by greed, forcing me back toward the monster. Desperate to escape a fate worse than death, I dragged a dying wolf from a dark alley—a handsome rogue with nothing to lose.

"Your mate rejected you," I said, risking everything. "Marry me instead."

He agreed with a cold, indifferent nod. I thought it was a simple contract to save my life. But as his wounds healed, a terrifying aura returned. I hadn't picked up a stray dog. I had accidentally bound myself to the ruthless Alpha King. Now, a fated bond burns between us, and the people who sold me out are about to learn exactly who has my back.
