Meredith Carter var engang sin floks stolthed – indtil Måneforhekselsen stemplede hende som ulveløs, uønsket og en skændsel. Ydmyget, forladt og afvist af sin skæbnebestemte mage troede hun, at Månegudinden havde svigtet hende. Men hendes forbandelse kom med en grusom bivirkning – vilde, ukontrollerbare feromoner, der gjorde mænd vanvittige af lyst og afsky. En duft så berusende, at den gjorde hende til et mål. Den aften, hun blev stødt bort, da hendes feromoner kom ud af kontrol, gjorde Alfa Draven Oatrun – den mest frygtede og urørlige Alfa i kongeriget – i stedet krav på hende. Men Draven ønsker ikke kærlighed. Han ønsker hende ikke engang. Hans grunde til at gifte sig med hende har intet med skæbnen at gøre. Kastet ind i en verden af hensynsløs politik, dødelige fjender og en mage, der kun ser hende som en brik i et spil, må Meredith kæmpe for at overleve, genvinde sin værdighed og afsløre hemmelighederne bag sin forbandelse. For noget er ved at vågne i hende. Noget magtfuldt. Noget… ældgammelt. Og når sandheden afsløres, vil ikke engang Alfa Draven kunne modstå, hvad hun bliver til. Afvist. Forbandet. Begæret. Udvalgt. Vil Meredith bryde fri fra sin skæbne? Frem for alt, hvad er denne mystiske kraft, der presser hende til at starte en krig? — Uddrag: "Du har måske gjort krav på mig," hviskede Meredith, hendes violette øjne brændende af trods, "men du kommer aldrig til at eje mig." Draven udstødte en lav, farlig latter. Hans gyldne øjne glimtede, da han fangede hende, hans tilstedeværelse kvælende. "Eje dig?" Hans stemme var fløjl og stål. "Lille ulv, jeg behøver ikke at eje dig." Han strøg en lok sølvhvidt hår om bag hendes øre – en berøring så let, at den alligevel sendte kuldegysninger ned ad ryggen på hende. "For om du kan lide det eller ej…" Hans ånde strejfede hendes hud. "Din krop reagerer allerede på mig." Meredith spændte kæberne og ignorerede den forræderiske varme, der samlede sig dybt i hende. Det var feromonerne. Det måtte det være. "Jeg hader dig," fremtvang hun. "Godt," smirkede Draven. For had var bare en anden form for besættelse.
