"Dera," he said, his voice low and strained.

Before I could process what was happening, we were drawn to each other as if by an invisible force. Our lips met in a kiss that sent a shockwave through my body. For a moment, the world faded away, leaving only the two of us.

But then, Eric bit my shoulder, marking me as his mate. The sharp pain snapped me back to reality, and I stumbled back, my hand flying to the mark.

"What are you doing?" I asked, my voice shaking.

Eric looked just as shocked as I felt. 
"I... I didn’t mean to..."

"I can’t do this," I said, backing away. 
"I need to go."

Dera is a victim of domestic violence, having been forcefully married to Isaac, a ruthless alpha who derives joy from maltreating her. After enduring his torments for years, she narrowly escapes from his pack with the help of her best friend. She can’t go home, as her father is the architect of her suffering, her mother is a brainwashed housewife whose sole purpose in life is to please her husband, and her brothers are no better than her father.
Dera can only stay with her best friend, Amara, who lives with her father—her hot father, for whom Dera has an unending crush. What happens when Eric, Dera’s best friend’s father, falls for Dera, and they discover they are mates? What becomes of their relationship with Amara? Don’t forget that Amara is selfish about her father’s love and has a pact with him, made after her mother died, that he wouldn’t date or marry ANYONE. Read on!
