Hi, my name is Ava Schmidt, and this is my story... I only ever dreamed of one thing, and that is to be loved. My family has always been both mentally and physically abusive towards me. So, growing up I came to believe them when they would tell me no one could, or rather, no one would ever love me. A few days before my 18th birthday, I tell my wolf, AnnaLeese, enough is enough. I can't take it anymore. My mind made up. I make a plan t leave my family and pack behind after my first shift. Not caring that it would mean becoming a Rogue. My plans change though when the notorious Alpha Wolfe of the Black Diamond pack shows up, claiming he's there for his bride... The bride that was promised to him in an arrangement made by the two former Alphas of both our packs. And apparently, I'm his bride... Together Alpha Wolfe and I must overcome the challenges that arise because of my family's actions. Secrets are revealed... Mistakes are realized... Danger is imminent... Not only for me but also for the loved ones I have found. My only question... Will the love I've found and have always longed for be enough to see us through?
