Donovan Moore is the Alpha of the Sirius Pack. He's dark, reserved, rather blunt and dangerous-looking, even for the members of his own pack, who demand a Luna to soothe his iron fist. The problem is he hadn't found his mate yet, and he is forced into a marriage he doesn't want, until he goes to a club for his Stag party. Jade Davies works in a club as a stripper. Although she doesn't have her family with her anymore, she's content with her life and adoptive family- But everything changes when Fate puts Don in her path and he awakens the beast Jade had desperately put into a deep sleep within her, and turns her life upside down. Just so you know: No BDSM or very explicit sexual scenes; strong language; considerable age difference between the main characters; violence.

"You don't want a mate and neither do I. So for the sake of our wolves, let's just complete the mating process and part away like... friends?" Quillon said and I stared at him in disbelief. Isn't he supposed to be my 'Soul mate?' And is this what soul mates say? "Friends?" I said grinding my teeth together. "You make this outrageous proposal and expect me to be friends with you?" I questioned incredulously. "Right now, I feel so friendly towards you that if you drop dead, then I would dance on your corpse." "Fine" he shrugged. "Your loss." "Oh don't worry! I can find someone way better than you" I launched furiously. Quillon might be good-looking but he is also a major A-hole! "Think it's that easy, Darya?" he queried cocking one perfect brow and I glared at him.
