Toute ma vie, j'ai été la fille de secours. Ma sœur Béatrice avait tout—l'amour, l'attention, le traitement d'enfant préféré. J'ai eu les restes et des rappels que je n'étais pas assez bien. Jusqu'à ce que je découvre que Niall, magnifique Alpha de la meute voisine, était mon compagnon destiné. Enfin, c'était mon tour d'être choisie. Dieu, j'étais naïve. Quatre ans d'enfer de fiançailles. Me décolorant les cheveux pour correspondre à ses goûts. Me serrant dans des robes étroites, jouant sa femme de ménage personnelle—pour finalement entendre que je ferais une meilleure servante que compagne. Tout parce que son cœur appartenait à ma sœur. Cette nuit-là, j'ai accidentellement renversé leur cadre photo. Il m'a giflée. Fort. Il a dit que je ne serais jamais à sa hauteur. Alors je l'ai giflé en retour, j'ai déchiré leur photo, et j'ai accepté le rejet. Je pensais que c'était fini. Jusqu'à ce que je les surprenne au club, riant de combien mes quatre années d'efforts avaient été pathétiques. Toutes les fiançailles n'étaient que leur jeu malsain. Ivre et furieuse, j'ai fait quelque chose d'imprudent avec mon mystérieux voisin. Alpha Hudson—visage sculpté par les dieux, danger dans chaque ligne parfaitement taillée. Plus important encore, il est l'ennemi juré de mon ex. Alors ? La meilleure nuit de ma vie. Je pensais que c'était une aventure d'un soir pour oublier. Encore une erreur. Il est plus riche que Niall, plus puissant que ma famille, et infiniment plus dangereux. Et il ne me laisse pas partir. Cette fois, je ne serai le second choix de personne.
