"You will be my disgrace, a tool to appease the curse." So declared Alpha wolf king Karen Wolcoff. He destroyed her entire clan, yet now, because of a "Blood Covenant," he is forced to take her as his wife. Even more ridiculous is that this Omega, whom he despises, kneeling in muddy water, is actually his destined fated mate! He detests her, imprisons her, unaware that the "rage" curse in his bloodline can only be healed by her. When the truth is revealed and she resolutely leaves; when he, filled with regret, uses his body to shield her from a fatal silver dagger; when this conqueror of the North willingly kneels before her, giving up everything just for "redemption"... Will Ella forgive this man who once brought her endless suffering?
