“Richardson, how could you do this? This is a taboo!” Queen Elise’s voice trembled with anger. “She’s human—and you brought her into our world, into our home? Do you realize what you’ve done? You’ve put everything your father and I worked for at risk. Our legacy, our clan—it could all be destroyed!” But Richardson didn’t care about the throne or the legacy. For once in his life, he wasn’t bound by duty. He had chosen love, and he was ready to fight for it—even if it meant breaking the rules that had governed his world for years. Shuntelle, however, had her own plan. Her parents were murdered by werewolves, and she was determined to avenge them with the help of her stepbrother. The plan was simple: make Richardson fall for her and use his love to destroy the clan. But as she got closer to him, her heart began to betray her, and she found herself caught between revenge and an unexpected love. Now, she must decide to either follow through with the plan or risk it all for a forbidden love.
