"The word died in her throat as his mouth covered hers. Her heart nearly stopped at the abrupt kiss but it thumped faster as he increased the pace. She melted into him. Standing on tiptoes, she yielded to the kiss. She heard him growl and instantly snapped out of the trance she was in. "What are you doing?" she mumbled into his mouth. "What does it look like, darling?" "Please, stop." Arabella shoved his chest but he didn't budge. "I told you I'd take what is mine if you want to or not."" *** Arabella thought monsters only existed in stories—until the night she was dragged into a brutal war between supernatural powers hiding beneath the surface of the human world. Rescued from deadly rogue attacks by a mysterious and dangerously captivating man, Arabella soon discovers that the shadows of the city are ruled not by ordinary criminals, but by ruthless mafia werewolf packs. At the center of it all stands Sandro—dominant, feared, and bound to her by a mate bond neither of them expected. But destiny comes with a price. Arabella becomes the key to a conflict far bigger than she ever imagined. Powerful wolves want her, enemies hunt her, and the deeper she falls into Sandro’s world, the harder it becomes to escape the pull between them.

“W-what are you doing?” I stuttered. “Claiming you,” he said simply. Before I could protest or shove him off me, he closed my mouth with his. My intention to fight him shattered as his lips were on mine. My eyeballs rolled into my head as he kissed me in a frenzy. I moaned into his mouth, and he used the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth. No one had ever kissed like this before. Heck, I had never been this intimate with a man!" *** Artemisia’s life shatters the night her parents auction her future in the name of power and legacy. Forced into marriage with a man she has never met, she expects a monster—cold, cruel, and old enough to be her father. Instead, she finds Sinclair Stone. Sin is dangerously handsome, impossibly wealthy, and far more than human. Beneath his tailored suits and ruthless exterior lies an Alpha bound by prophecy—destined to claim a human mate or lose himself to the beast within. He never wanted a wife. She never wanted this marriage. But fate doesn’t ask for permission. Trapped in a union built on secrets, dominance, and simmering desire, Artemisia is thrust into a hidden world of wolves, ancient rivalries, and blood-soaked power struggles. And as enemies close in under the light of the Wolf Moon, one truth becomes undeniable: She isn’t just the Alpha’s bride. She may be his greatest sin—and his only salvation.
