Haiyi had spent her entire life being treated as worthless because she was an Omega orphan. At only eighteen, she was forced into a marriage with Beta Thomas, believing that becoming his mate might finally give her a family and a place to belong.
Instead, her marriage became a nightmare.

Years passed without a child, and Thomas blamed Haiyi for their inability to conceive. His resentment turned into cruelty, while the pack watched in silence. When the council finally declared that Haiyi would be exiled if she remained childless, Thomas made a secret decision that would change everything.

On the night of the full moon, he secretly drugged Haiyi and took her far from the pack. He left her at an abandoned castle deep in the wilderness, intending for the rogues hiding there to use her for their own purposes.

But the castle was not empty.

Hidden within its ancient walls lived Gareth, the mysterious Wolf King, who had vanished from the supernatural world years earlier. A deadly dose of Wolfsbane had poisoned his wolf, causing him to lose control and become feral whenever the full moon rose.

That night, Gareth's beast awakened.

When he caught Haiyi's scent, something ancient inside him responded. Her pheromones triggered an instinct even Wolfsbane could not suppress. The beast found her, and an unexpected fated-mate bond was formed between them.

Haiyi wakes to discover that the abandoned castle has become the beginning of a new destiny—and the terrifying Wolf King who claimed her is the one man powerful enough to uncover the truth about what Thomas did to her.

Now Thomas must face the consequences of betraying the woman he once considered worthless, while Haiyi discovers that the Omega everyone despised may hold a power capable of changing the entire werewolf kingdom.
