“You are nothing to me, Aria. I reject you as my mate, and I reject you from this pack.” Ryder’s gaze turned cold as he pulled away from her. I choked, tears burning my eyes, “You… you can’t do this. You’re my mate.” When Alpha Ryder rejects her as his mate, Aria is framed, banished, and forced to survive among rogues. Luckily, she's rescued by Lycan King Kael, who awakens a new passion within her. But as Aria navigates her second chance at love, Ryder resurfaces back in her life, threatening to destroy everything. Can Aria forgive her past or will she give in to a second chance mate and claim her rightful place beside Kael?

Leora Bellucci has been frail, weak, and hidden from the outside world for years because she is deemed to be an embarrassment to the Bellucci family, while her identical twin sister has been the well pampered one and always shown off to the public until the night Lucian Cavalli comes for a bride. Lucian Cavalli, the man rumoured to have killed his three wives within a year of marriage, is coming for his debt from the Bellucci family which is their eldest daughter. But of course, the Bellucci family can't subject their most precious daughter to that monster, and Leora is forced to take her twin sister's place. Even when she tries to escape her fate by slinking into bed with a stranger one night and getting pregnant, her parents do not care. Instead, they give her one month to get into the Don's bed and make him believe the baby is his. But Lucian Cavalli has one rule for his wife: There will be no intimacy. He is only interested in recovering his late father's empire and bringing down those who took his family's life, and a wife who is an eldest daughter, is part of the requirements. He has rules and he is merciless when it comes to pulling the trigger, and he makes sure that his new wife knows her place. He doesn't know she isn't the eldest daughter, neither does he know she is already pregnant, carrying a child and hiding a secret from him. And Leora doesn't want to find out what he can do to her if he ever finds out the truth... she has to survive by all means.
