Rosella hated her life, she had a father who was a coward and a greedy stepmother, they would do anything to save their heads. Since her mother's death, her life changed overnight, she went from being a child to a forced adult overnight. She had to deal with her stepmother's hostility and her father's addiction to debt. Sounds crazy but Rosella had zero to no choice.
Finding out her father just gave her out to the ruthless alpha of the neighboring pack was crazy but knowing she was married to one of the greatest psychopaths on earth did nothing but shatter her. He forcefully created a mate bond between them and he did nothing but bring her pain. he would do nothing but make sure the mated bond was everything she ever felt and he would not hesitate to remind her how miserable her life was. She wanted to be free from him but she didn't know how.
One day she ran away and she went to her father's house, he looked for her and he found her. He punished her for running away and when next she got the chance she knew her father couldn't save her from the beast she was mated to and he would do nothing but make sure all she felt was pain. When she ran again, she headed into the woods, she didn't care she just wanted to die and never be found again. Being dead was better than being alive in a place where she was hated for even existing and the alpha blamed her for not producing an heir so he would take the alpha king's throne from his half-brother.
In the woods, she found her mate. The man was the alpha king and he had been looking for her since the council of elders have been pressuring him to bring home his mate or else they would usurp the throne from him and give it to his half-brother. The alpha king wasn't ready to let go of the throne so he would do everything in his power to protect the throne and after finding his mate, his joys knew no bounds.
He was shocked to find out that his bother's missing luna was the mate the moon goddess had blessed him with. He had seen how bad his brother treated her and he was shocked to find out she was carrying his brother's heir. He knew his brother hate him so much and wants the alpha king’s throne to himself. He wasn’t going to give up his mate nor the alpha king throne for his alpha brother. His brother cunny ways wouldn’t even get him the throne.
