"I, Alpha King, Xavier Romano, hereby reject Artemis Nightshade Black as my soulmate. From this point onwards, we are strangers and nothing was ever between us." I fall down to my knees, clutching my chest as pain, unbearable as it can get, tears through me. Tears stream down my face and my sobs echo throughout the deserted hallway; he left. He left me with no regard for my emotions, mentality, or... anything at all. He just left...

According to werewolf law, every werewolf of mating age is obliged to attend The Mating Ball, which The Royal Family hosts every year for werewolves to find their mates. If one person doesn't attend, the person in charge of them is punished.
All Artemis wants is to be free and get away from her abusive pack. She longs for a mate. A mate to protect and cherish her, to love her unconditionally despite her scars and bruises, to care for her and to tend to hear needs. A mate she won't have for a very long time.
All Xavier ever wants is to not find his mate. He enjoys his youth, and enjoys being single. Not having to be tied down to any random woman and tend to her every command. If he were to get a mate, she better be beautiful, of high social status, and perfect in every possible way. His wish is granted, but it's disguised under layers of dark pasts, scarred skin, caliginous mysteries, and a trail of broken hearts and shattered pieces of a girl, who is more than what reaches the surface.
The outcasts of their pack, Dylan and Casey meet the mysterious Grey who breaks the rules of mating practices by being their third soulmate and change their lives for the better, but when there's a chance they'll lose Grey, Casey must accept his destiny as the Alpha of his pack before everything goes up in flames. Literally.

Grey Weathers thought he was going on a relaxing vacation with his "friend with benefits" pal, until he walks right into two people that seem like the perfect couple, Dylan and Casey. What he doesn't know is that this couple are actually mates. Dylan and Casey are a couple of werewolves and their instincts are telling them that Grey is more special than he knows.
Grey finds himself in the middle of family drama, bloody secrets and a plot that would like to see every supernatural creature wiped from the face of the earth. All this is a lot to deal with, especially when he's falling in love with not just one, but two people. Could they be falling in love with him too? Is that possible? To fall in love with someone like him?
