She has one year to fake being a wolf or the Alpha will make her his prey. Anya Sterling is a powerless human hiding in a brutal shapeshifter territory. When crippling medical debts threaten her younger brother's life, she refuses to sit back and watch him die. Driven by sheer desperation, she forces her way into the den of the ultimate predator to demand a lifeline: Azkarion Blackwood, the cold, ruthless, and controlled Alpha of the Hunter Pack. Azkarion needs a fake mate to secure his throne from vicious rivals; Anya needs the fortune he commands. Together, they sign a high-stakes marriage contract. For the next year, Anya must actively fight for her survival by perfectly mimicking a dominant wolf, masking her human scent, and dodging deadly pack rituals. One single slip-up, and the pack will discover she is an impostor and tear her apart. But as the deception begins, the true danger isn't her human identity being exposed—it's the dark, territorial, and inescapable obsession the Alpha is starting to unleash upon his fake wife.

“Three days before my wedding, I found my fiancé in my bed with my sister.” My mother slapped me for making a scene. My fiancé warned me I was nothing without him. So I packed a single bag and slammed the gas toward the border. I didn’t expect the ruthless Lycan King, Malakar, to choose that exact night to tear our pack to shreds. I thought his blade would end my life. Instead, his eyes burned molten gold, and his roar shook the entire battlefield: “MATE.” I swapped a cheating Alpha for the most feared king on the continent. And my revenge has only just begun.
