Throughout her entire 17-year existence, Alana had never experienced freedom or happiness. Trapped in the basement of her family's home, she was unjustly accused of taking her mother's life. Her days were filled with constant abuse, verbal assaults, and she eked out survival on meager scraps of food. She believed this was her predetermined fate and resigned herself to a life of bitterness. However, everything changed on the night of her 18th birthday. A mysterious alpha, claiming to be her long-lost father, the alpha king, and the one he had searched for years, knocked on her door. He declared her his destined mate, offering her a chance at a completely different reality.
