Five years ago, the Libellula Family ruined my life. It doesn’t matter who was responsible. I blamed the man who created his gang of thugs: Damien Libellula himself. If it wasn’t for him giving free rein to his soldiers to pass their funny money through my store, I wouldn’t have been accused of money laundering—and counterfeiting. I was a naive twenty-five-year-old then. Four years in a minimum-security prison later, and I’m out for revenge. I changed my name. My hair. My accent.

"Boom!" The best sound to ever exist, besides the irritations of Lev Volkov when I best him at every turn. Silly wolf, he's not the hunter in this forest—I am. Lev's beady blue orbs lock onto me, taking me for some bounty to be claimed. Too bad I've rigged the field around my life.

I’m a broken Omega. A hybrid wolf shifter An abomination to dragonkind. If these Alpha dragons find out, they’re going to send me back to the nomad lands… to die. They already suspect that I’m something “other.” Hence the evaluations and trials laid out before me. So when my Alpha guard offers me a set of magical gold coins, I try to use them to buy favor with the Royal Court. Except they want more. To survive, I strike a deal with my handsome guard—I’ll give him whatever he wants in exchange for more of his golden enchantments. There’s just one problem.

Tragedy struck when I least expected it, leaving me a widow in what was supposed to be the prime of my life.

Day after day, I remained frozen in time, while the world moved on without me.

I can’t escape him. I thought I did. When I slipped off one night, leaving everything in my old life behind, I was ready to sacrifice it all if only to leave him behind, too. But, like always, my ex chases after me. That’s what he does, after all. Holding to the vows I was too young and naive to understand, William Burke will have me ’til death do us part. And then, almost immediately, it does—when Will is slaughtered in a back alley.

“I do.” Words I never thought would escape my lips. Now they bound me to the charismatic head of the Volkov Bratva, Nikolai Volkov. His mesmerizing blue eyes, charming smile, and silky smooth voice would be my downfall, and yet, also my salvation. The two simple words would also be a personal vow to destroy my stepmother and enemies. If I’m forced to be bound to the mafia life forever then I’ll show them all. I’ll show them how far this ‘angel’ has fallen. I’m not a pawn like they all think.
