-ANASTASIA- I thought I'd lost all dignity, trapped in a loveless marriage with Darius, the beta who'd cheated on me after everything I'd sacrificed for him. But life had other plans. When Dante, our pack's Alpha, walked into my store, I was shocked - and intrigued. Then he revealed my husband's darkest secret: smuggling forbidden magical artifacts. Dante needed my help finding a gem with devastating power, one that could annihilate an entire pack. I agreed, despite the risks, and was thrust into a world of betrayal, secrets, and forbidden attraction. As we navigated treacherous landscapes, I found myself drawn to Dante's charisma and strength, despite our age gap. But can I trust him? And will our alliance be enough to survive the darkness that's coming?
