Upon discovering that the maid, Alexey, was actually his mate instead of his beloved Lucia, Alpha Danes was overwhelmed with anger and heartache. He swiftly rejected her, causing her to contemplate leaving. However, he managed to convince her to stay, even suggesting the drastic measure of selling her to Lycan Alpha Elijah as a means to gain his allegiance. Lycan Alpha Elijah had a tumultuous past with Alpha Danes. Once upon a time, they were supposed to be partners, but Danes betrayed Elijah, selling him to their enemies for the chance to ascend to the alpha position. Despite surviving what should have been his demise, Elijah was unable to protect his family, vowing eternal suffering against Danes. When Alexey arrived at Elijah's mansion, she discovered the unexpected truth about their connection. Despite Elijah's kind treatment and respectful behavior, she struggled to feel the bond due to the emotional pain she carried. Sensing her vulnerability, Elijah decided to give her time to heal. Meanwhile, Lucia, the Luna of Crewson Pack, held a grudge against Alpha Danes. Initially, she was his adversary, but her genuine affection for him grew stronger when she helped reunite him with his sister, Anna. Little did he know, this was all part of a devious plan to end his life.
