Life has dealt me a harsh blow. As the child of a family once esteemed, I felt destined for success within our tight-knit community. However, my parents' tragic actions and subsequent downfall branded me as a traitor, pushing me into isolation. Though I accept the consequences, enduring constant accusations that aren't mine to bear becomes unbearable. A new turn arrives when, during my first assignment, I find myself unexpectedly mated to someone who isn't interested in me. Adding to the turmoil, I am seized and sold to Theo Gavi, a feared figure in the shifter world. Despite the inexplicable pull I feel towards him and my wolf's longing, I struggle to trust again after past heartaches. In this moment, all I crave is freedom – the chance to live my life according to my own choices, without the chains of the past weighing me down.
