Alexandra Lykos grew up on the outskirts of her pack's territory, finding refuge with them after her own family's tragic demise. Until her 18th birthday, she had no encounters with other werewolves beyond her immediate family. That's when the pack's Alpha arrived, demanding her hand in marriage as his mate, an arranged destiny handed down without her consent. Looking back, she now understands why her parents were so strict and prohibited her from dating - they were preparing her for a life she hadn't chosen but felt bound to due to a predetermined contract. Struggling to adapt to this unexpected turn of events, Alexandra found herself navigating a world she neither wanted nor sought, bound to a man she deeply hated with every fiber of her being.
