What could a cold-hearted conqueror want from a weak half-blood with nothing to her name except an unending family debt?
Alpha Hayden Slade has accomplished almost everything he wants for his pack, except one. For a cursed Alpha counting the days to his death, his greatest challenge is providing an heir for his pack before his demise. But what could be worse than the curse of untimely death? Being mated to a weak half-blood that has no idea of her identity. A weakling that can never be his Luna.
He quickly offers her a deal to bear him an heir, not wanting any form of attachment to a half-human, half-wolf. Catching feelings wasn't a part of the deal, but a big surprise awaits him when he discovers she holds the key to a possibility he'd long given up on.
Aria always believed she was just human. Her father's constant gambling habits put them in debt to a notorious loan shark and they must find a way to pay off the large sum within a short period.
When an arrogant Hayden Slade comes into her life with an offer to bear a child for him, she is torn between two choices; agree to his offer or sell her body to the loan sharks.
Aria is swept into a world she never thought existed. She is beyond desperate to gain her mate's trust and become a part of his pack, but she is totally clueless that the mate bond can bring the most heartless man to his knees, even a man as powerful as Alpha Slade.
Female lead aurora at least showed some backbone in the beginning when she married slade Wellington in a flash marriage. But story quickly goes downhill, aurora is a complete pushover weak spineless female lead. She has no plan for revenge. Her actions are weird and contradictory (she refused to be her frenemy Jenny’s editor and next chapter changes her mind). So Jenny the villainess and her idiot ex fiancé Liam continue their affair, aurora knows what is going on and she does nothing. Her secret husband slade ends up doing everything for her. Aurora is not a likeable character and I even wonder why she was reborn. She is extremely passive after marrying slade and I have no idea why slade finds her fascinating or lovable. Plotting is slow and characters are one dimensional.
