You think you've seen the worst of a 'wedding gone wrong' till you meet Esmeralda Archer. Being mated to alpha Zayan was a match made in the skys. Her life was perfect. Until it wasn't. Rowan, Zayan’s cousin goes missing, and Esme knows something is wrong when Rowan returns without Zayan. But he won't speak to anyone, only the members of the elders council. Then out of the blues Zayan shows up, but not with the jovial energy she had grown to love. The words he says leaves her heartbroken. The man she once loved has become a stranger and she wants to believe that it is all fake, that he has his reasons. But how does she justify his actions when he walks off without another word? Zayan had no choice but to bend to their will. The hardest part of it all was rejecting her but he kknows that with time he would heal and move on. He is dragged into a life of war and constant opposition and he would give anything to return to his normal life. Then he meets someone who makes him feel normal again, and despite the mystery around her he's determined not to let go of the new ray of sunshine he's found. When a roses and wisteria filled future goes up in smoke, these star crossed lovers have to struggle to merge matters of the heart and the responsibilities they shoulder or risk losing everything. After all, there's more to life than unrequited love.
