Elena, a frail half-blood cast out by the Silvermoon Pack, senses that Marcus, the Wolf King, is on the verge of death from pure silver poison. Risking her life, she sneaks in and administers the antidote mouth-to-mouth, saving the ferocious king. But when Marcus wakes, his pride makes him treat her like a lowly tool and cruelly push her away. He has no idea they are already bound by fate as mates—nor that the wolf within him instinctively longs to wag its tail and submit to her. To win her freedom and pardon, Elena signs a seven-day contract and forces Marcus to let her draw out the poison. But as she tends to him beneath the moon on a terrace, they're trapped in a deadly stalemate. Jealous rival Selene lunges at Elena from behind with a silver sword, its tip inches from her heart. With Marcus furious but unable to move and Elena shielding the antidote with her own body, how will they escape this deadly trap?
