"This love is forbidden. You cannot marry your late brother's widow, not when she is also responsible for his death," Henry's words echo in Alpha Jerry’s mind. But Lara is innocent until proven guilty. When her husband, Max, dies on their wedding night, no one believes her innocence. Only Alpha Jerry, Max’s cruel older brother, offers her a chance. Faced with mounting evidence against her, Lara agrees to marry Jerry to get a chance to find Max's real killer. Jerry, in turn, marries Lara to get closer to her, find out the truth, and slowly destroy her. Their powerful mate-bond is challenged by their conflicting missions. They are opposed not only by the pack but also by the people they pushed aside to be together.

Exposition: In the Werewolf city, the various packs have their own towns in which they either peacefully coexist by intertrading, partnering or being plain right enemies. The Niddan pack was enemies with the Moonblood pack and have been for years. Way before the fathers and grandfather's were born. However, the city had one prestigious college where every member of each pack dreams of going after graduating their local high schools. In the school, the elites are the top students, consisting Alpha heirs, Beta heirs, royal court ladies, fighters, warriors, to be better or to become lawyers, doctors and other professions. The Webb college is a dream school for Leanna Schuler, a twenty years old who worked at a bar her whole life to earn pennies that she used to care for her blind mother. Her best friend was the Niddan pack's princess, Phoebe Ray, a pretty girl with a perfect life. They had been friends since they were children and their friendship was something everyone wanted. Leanna had a mate whom she'd been dating for two years and dreamed of getting married to, until her obnoxious cousin claimed him during the full moon and made a fool of Leanna. Leanna's boyfriend rejected her in public, causing her to lose a hold of her wolf as a result. This humiliation only caused her to want to leave the pack so she started saving up till she got into Webb college. Phoebe had gotten into the college before she arrived so when she did, her friend was no longer who she thought she was. She now moved with rich, entitled brats and acted as though she never knew her. This caused her to be alone and rejected because no one wanted to be friends with someone who got in through a scholarship.
