She has dedicated her life to being the next prominent leader despite the judgment of others. Nothing can stand in her way of the title she so rightfully deserves...or so she thinks. Her world is turned upside down when she finds herself mated to the notorious demon-wolf Arlo Blackburn, alpha of Blood Rose- the enemy pack. She can't have him, nor does she want him. As if life couldn't get any more complicated, problems arise when a certain dark witch sets half a million dollars in exchange for Astrid's life. The safety of River Ash is on the line, and she has no other choice but to hide out with the help of her hybrid mate. They were cursed to be enemies long before their births, but fate has decided to play a wicked game with them. Their differences keep them apart, but can they resist the burning desires of the mate bond?
