A childhood accident took my parents' lives, and my brother never let me forget it. He locked a collar around my neck, one that killed my wolf and my voice. I became a slave in the only home I had ever known. By the time I turned twenty-two, I had stopped hoping for anything at all.Then Alpha Ronan came.He was massive, cold, and feared across every territory. He came to sign a trade deal with my brother, nothing more. But the second he smelled me, something in him broke open. He heard every lie my brother told about me. And when the papers came out, he changed the deal. He didn't want gold or land. He wanted me.Now I'm locked in a silent car, crossing into a land I've never seen, sitting beside a man I don't understand. I don't know if I just escaped a monster, or if I'm riding straight into a bigger one.
