Persephone's whole life revolved around obeying her father's wishes. She had everything planned out by her father, who was going to marry her off to the leader of any gang he deemed suitable for an alliance. The thought of escaping her life of crime never entered her mind until she came across Cain Anderson, the Alpha of the Asphodel Pack, chained up in the cell room of her father's gang, The Crows.

Excerpt:
His eyelids flutter and he licks his cracked lips, a movement my eyes linger on. He looks around and for a second, confusion flashes across his face before he plasters on a mask of indifference. His muscles flex to no avail as he fights against his restraints. A hissing sound fills the air and the stench of burning flesh encases the room, a smell I wish I was unfamiliar with.

And my heart clenches as his dark gaze meets mine.

His eyes are blue. A cold, despairing blue I can't look away from. And I wonder if he knows that he is beautiful.

Nova has been tortured and held captive by vampires for as long as she can remember. But one night a man shows up and buys her, bringing her back to his pack. She tries to fight everyone away but slowly she begins to fall for the green eyed stranger. Caine is the alpha of the darkmoon pack and has spent his time as a lone leader since his mate was killed. But one night he is in a club miles away from his territory when a young girl catches his eye and ear. When his wolf cries out for her he has no choice but to bring her back with him. He tries to keep his distance but he is drawn to her and can't seem to keep his distance. ~~~~~ "This is the correct girl if I'm not mistaken. Are you sure Miss Heller is the girl you wanted?" I frowned and stood awkwardly, tugging my dress skirt down slightly and shifting as the two other men skimmed their eyes over me. A growl was heard and they both snapped their eyes away. "$3000 was the price I offered but I'm happy for the price to be more if you wish. Now if we are finished my men will get the money for you now and I'll take the girl." I looked at the men and quickly realised what was happening. He was selling me like some kind of object. I growled and ran for the door, pulling at it hard but it didnt budge. I turned to see them all looking at me as my eyes surveyed the room. I ran for the window but a hand grabbed my wrist. "Fiesty little firecracker you got there. But shes also trouble which means she aint worth more then $3000 so take the price or leave it." I pulled but Mr Bloodmon dragged me to the green eyed man and shook his hand. I growled and went to bite him but he gabbed my shoulder and dug his claws in. I whimpered as he shoved me towards the exit.

"You know you can't resist me much longer." He continued to trail kisses down my neck and jaw. I bit my lip to keep a moan from escaping. "I am your mate and Alpha, I order you to not touch any male or flirt with them." "In case you have forgotten, I'm a rogue, I don't have to listen to you." The alpha growled and I couldn't stop the smirk from forming on my lips. He pushed me harder onto the wall and moved closer so every inch of our bodies were touching. It took every ounce of strength I had to stop myself from jumping him right there. He moved his hand to caress my cheek and I found myself leaning into his touch. "When I first laid my eyes on you, you were mine. If I see any male looking at you inappropriately or longer than necessary, that will be the last thing they see. You are mine and only mine. I'm not one to share what belongs to me."
