She's a wolf who doesn't want to be with a wolf. He's an alpha who never had to beg for anything. But now, he'd kneel for a chance. Having witnessed undesirable relationships growing up, Arela Waterhouse has only two caveats when it comes to dating life: one, no alphas; and two, no wolves. But when Arela crosses paths with the powerful and persistent Alpha William Ackerman, she soon learns that standing her ground requires more strength than she once thought, especially when the alpha is slowly and stealthily breaking down her walls with every meeting, every smile, and every word. When trouble comes in the form of vengeful pack members, a rivalling alpha, strange land deals, unexplained rogue attacks, and skeptical elders, there comes a point when one would ask whether the attraction between them is worth pursuing.
