"I'll ensure you suffer greatly, my dear. I'll break you until the only way out seems to end your own life," he hissed, violently pushing her backwards. "Undress, climb onto the bed, and assume the position," he commanded. In society, Benita was seen as a burden due to her slightly heavier frame that didn't fit the ideal of a slender beauty. Her younger sister, Nina, was the beloved one, with a stunning appearance, trim figure, and a blossoming relationship with Nathan, the soon-to-be pack leader. Many assumed Nina would be his mate and future Luna. However, fate had a different plan: during the mating ceremony, it was Benita who was revealed as Nathan's true partner. Enraged and repulsed, Nathan reluctantly accepted her, while Nina tragically disappeared that night, believed to be deceased after falling from a cliff. Haunted by guilt, Nathan directed his anger towards Benita, turning their situation into a cruel form of punishment. Unbeknownst to her, as Benita discovered she was pregnant, she fled, fearing for her child's safety, unaware that Nathan's heart was starting to soften. Five years later, their paths unexpectedly crossed. Now, Benita had transformed into a respected healer, drawing admiration from many. But Nathan refused to let her slip away once more. Having let her go once, he was determined to seize her this time. Adding to the complexity of their story, Nina, thought to be long gone, returned from beyond the grave, complicating matters further.
