Denise Vera is a she-wolf who is different from others. Within her, resides a demon… a cold-blooded, uncontrollable inner-beast that is hungry for bloodshed. During fullmoons, it cannot be tamed. And once it is free, a ruthless slaughter begins. Because of this, Denise is hated by her pack and has to keep herself hidden away from the world. Now, she is nineteen and they refuse to keep her much longer. Her father sells her off to Aiden; the future Alpha of a powerful pack nearby. She is set to marry Aiden, but when Alpha Kain Valcor visits the pack for a deal, she feels a sudden connection to him. A mate bond. And it happens that her wolf forcefully takes control the very night they meet...but instead of killing all those around her, she oddly awakens in the arms of her mate. She ends up being bought all over again, this time by Kain. She hopes that he is the one to tame her wolf and save her, but Kain’s intentions are not what they seem. He doesn't want a mate, what he needs is a killer to defend his pack…

I’d rather that… than staying with you.”The words hit Kain like a bullet to the chest. He clenched his hands at his side, his teeth grinding hard together. He had to resist the urge to dig his claws through her lips and pluck her tongue from her mouth. How dare she utter such words? He was merely protecting what belonged to him, as expected of a master, yet it seemed his dog was biting his helping hand. For a while now, he almost couldn’t recognize the Denise that stood before him.The stare she was giving him, was a familiar one…one that looked the same as when his mother had given up on him. He couldn’t help but chuckle darkly at the thought. What was the last straw this time? Refusing to let her leave his side? Or threatening to bound her like a prisoner? Which one made her like this?Better yet, did that even matter? No. None of that mattered. There was a bond between the
“My Queen…” Wyatt’s head bowed, “Please do as you see fit. We will have no objections…”“Hmmm. Raise your head, she-wolf.”Licking her lips that had gone dry, Denise cleared her throat and hesitantly, she lifted her head. Her hair waved in front of her face and she quickly swept it back, setting the strands behind her shoulders. The Queen’s eyes slitted as she drunk in her appearance, and for a moment, her forehead creased and her hostile gaze suddenly became pensive, as if a sudden thought had distracted her. “The resemblance is…uncanny…” She cocked her head without easing her stare and Denise began to sweat even harder, her hold on Jack’s hand tightening.“Mother!” West’s frustrated voice sounded. She stomped closer, her glare passing over the Queen’s shoulder. “What are you waiting for? Put her in her place!”“You…” Ignoring West, the Queen tore her gaze away from Denise and glanced at Alpha Wyatt, “…you say this girl is your daughter? Where is the mother?”Jolting, Wyatt frantical
“I suppose you don’t use your werewolf powers often?” Jack spoke as they moved slowly through the forest. He held her hand loosely in his and tugged her along, now they could hear the distant chaos up ahead and Denise could smell the scent of familiar people. It seemed her family were one of the few who got invited to the ceremony. She didn’t want them to see her like this…but it couldn’t be helped. Would they even care if she died tonight? “No.” She answered in a low mumble, while picking at her thumb with her nails. “It makes it hard to stay in control.” Her leg had almost finished healing. And the bruise on her cheek was already nonexistent. Ever since she was a child, her body healed quicker than the average wolf, but she was still yet to decide whether that was good or bad. Sometimes, she preferred the pain and other times, she didn’t. “I see.” Jack’s eyes assessed her figure in a curious manner. He still couldn’t understand how someone with such a frail appearance manag
“You said you wanted to talk. I’m listening.” Denise’s lips curled and a snarl rose up her throat before she could stop it. Her small fingers tightened around West’s wrist, gripping it so tight that the bone cracked under the force. Her eyes flashed golden and for the moment it stayed like that, the ambience seemed to change completely. Cold and menacing. Dark and oppressing. It was like a sudden personality switch. Her wolf wasn’t in control but her body was acting on its emotions.“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?! You’re asking for death, aren’t you? Release me this fucking instant!” West screamed, her weight resting on her tippy-toes as her face twisted in pain and her shoulders hunched. It hurt like a bitch. And any movement felt like her wrist would separate from her body. Growling, her free hand lifted, elongated nails digging into Denise’s skin, but the more she tried to pry off her hold, the more it tightened. “Ah! Fuck!” She cursed. “GET HER OFF ME! GET THIS BITCH O
“I am Princess West’s personal guard, in case you are unaware.” What…” Denise clutched the straps of her bag tightly in her grasp and took slow, cautious steps back. “What are you doing here?” When her back collided with the wall, she quickly glanced out the window, her amber eyes meeting those of the dozens of guards surrounding the premises. She was surrounded…completely. And having failed to notice the approaching danger was her worst mistake. Did he come to kill her? Or…would he bring her to the Queen to be skinned alive? ‘Fuck!’ She cursed internally, her throat tightening. This…was her only chance, but the doors to a new life had already been shut before her face. Was this how it would end after enduring all her pain? Was this really it? “Hmm…” She heard him hum suddenly as his shoes slowly dragged inside the room. He uncrossed his arms from his chest and ran his fingers through his fluffy black hair. Seeing him up close, she noticed he had a scar above his eyebrows, but hi
“I’ve gotten word that the Q-Queen has arrived earlier than expected. S-She requests the head of the Gamma!”Kain’s breath stopped in an instant and his eyes went wide like saucers. The air became ominous and a cold shiver wracked Denise’s spine. “Fuck. Fuck. FUCK!” Kain’s fist curled at his side and he launched it into the wall, crushing the spot from the force. The framed paintings hanging there fell to the floor, breaking at his feet.Denise picked at her thumb, her heart drumming for all to hear. The Queen was one more person added to the long list of people who wanted her dead. But unlike the rest, the royal family was not a force to contend with. No one disobeyed their orders…not even Kain. Her gaze darted to Kain, drinking in the murderous expression on his face. His eyes had gone golden and his face had reddened with annoyance, mighty veins rising on the skin of his arms. His hand lifted, fingers raking through the strands atop his head. He glanced out the open door then loo
Denise slowly got up from the floor, staggering on her feet slightly. She caught her balance and held onto the wall, the strap of her dress rolling down her arms. Kain’s eyes shifted to her collarbone and dipped into the crevices between her breasts, staring. Having seen where his gaze had landed, her fingers quickly pulled the strap back up her shoulders, a frown on her lips.“Are you sulking?” He moved over to her and slid his hands onto her waist, pulling her flush against him. His face as he looked at her was relaxed but Denise could still see the way his lips pursed and curled inwards. “Why…would I be sulking?” She wriggled in his arms, only for his fingers to tighten on her. Her eyebrows lowered after her futile attempts, pulling together.“I should be asking you. You’re pale and flimsy. Kile told me you refused to eat. Do you think your master likes a pet that doesn’t eat? I shouldn’t have to force anything down your throat.”“Is that why you came?” She asked. “I thought I wo
The room was dark and the wind from the unlocked windows was cold as it wafted across her skin. Denise hadn’t moved an inch from where she laid on the hard floor, with her body curled in, her arms hugging herself and a chilling emptiness surrounding her. She stayed there silently with her eyes glued to the empty ceiling above her and her ears focused on the rushed movements she heard outside mixed in with the loud chatterings from the pack. Amongst them, she could smell Kain nearby and she could easily single out his voice from the others as he spat demands at everyone. Unfortunately, he hadn't gone far and with the sudden chaos, tonight was not the best moment for her to make her move. But it didn’t matter to her, for she knew her time would soon come…at midnight tomorrow. The thought of staying for another day made her skin crawl. She really couldn’t take it anymore; her stupid feelings, her family, her mate and herself. She didn’t even want to allow herself to think of the future
Kain’s face twitched at that, a vein in his neck suddenly popping. His brows creased, “What…do you mean?”“I don’t want to be someone who’s only value is her wolf. I don’t want to be the only friend who doesn’t fit in. I don’t want to be the only one who gets left behind. I don’t want to be this irredeemable person that has blood on her hands either. I just… I just want to be…me….the me that everyone loved. That version.” Her voice cracked, “…I…I know that won’t happen…But that’s why I want to free you…I want to free my family too.” Kain stared up at her with a glare. He didn’t quite understand why the sudden pity party. But the way she spoke, the words she said…it felt like she was heading to a place where she’d tempt him to pluck out her tongue. “Free from what exactly?” He asked her, standing to his feet and boring holes into the side of her face. He crossed his arms over his chest. “Me.” She answered, the soft whisper making his jaw tick. “And what does that mean?” His voice
