Aurora
I am the princess in the tower, the Alpha's daughter. Locked away by my father, Oliver Crane. Today is my eighteen birthday. My father has a party planned that isn't about me. It's about his power, wealth and will include guests from our rival pack, the Hawthornes.
Little did I know this was my wedding day, I was marrying a monster, and I would find my saving grace, my Mate, my Shadow, on the run.
Sawyer
I'm the second son: the beta, the nobody of the Hawthorne family pack. I've lied, cheated, killed, and now stolen. I've been Aurora Crane's shadow for years. She is beautiful, innocent, and I'm in love with her. For her birthday, she has no idea what is in store.
Her father has sold her to mine. She's marrying my brother. He's evil. But no one cares how he breaks women because he's the next Alpha. He will destroy her. I can't let that happen, no matter what the Alpha commands.

Chapter Nineteen: Covered In Blood
Aurora
Sawyer was silent as he kept his eyes on me. I swear I could hear him in my mind. It was nothing but affirmations of his love and praise. He also cursed himself for being useless. He hated feeling powerless, and it was a new sensation for him. Me, I’d spent most of my life in fear and taking orders. I put on a brave face as Archer took me into t...
Chapter Eighteen: Knowing Vs. Seeing
Sawyer
Winnowing had never been that instinctual. I was surprised. I only wished I could take us far away. I was trying to calculate where we could go and how far I could carry her in the back of my mind. At most, if I could get us out of the hotel and into the truck, I stashed by the highway, but she’d have to take over. I don’t know how long I&...
Chapter Seventeen: Can't Deny My Princess
Aurora
Sawyer stared at me like he wasn’t sure if he should fall at my feet and worship me or have me committed. “I need to be flustered and delirious. And that’s exactly what you made me feel. This time, you bite me. You claim my flesh and let me feel the burn.” Holding up the white dress, I smiled. “This ridiculous thing cover...
Chapter Sixteen: Many Secrets
Aurora
“Those bastards plan to marry you off, have you and Archer consummate the union, and then let your wolf run in the hope of a quicker conception. They have the whole thing planned down to the second. Unbelievable.” Sawyer was barely containing his wolf.
“I don’t want his child. I don’t want him.” I gave in to tears a...
Chapter Fifteen: Shame
Sawyer
It was nearly eight when Aurora and her friends arrived, and I saw them through the upstairs window. Despite her smile, tension radiated through her body. She knew. My family came an hour ago. We circulated among the guests who had been ordered to arrive by seven. Everyone seemed to be in shock that the Hawthornes were there to celebrate Aurora Crane....
Chapter Fourteen: Endure
Aurora
I was surprised when I made it down to the entry to see my father, my friends, and Mrs. Drake standing next to one of two limos. All but my father looked pale and sick. He smiled brightly at me.
“My beautiful daughter. It is time. Tonight you will prove your worth and honor your family. You will honor your people.” He began to place the crysta...
