Book excerpt: As Eleanor Stark stood among the group of girls being auctioned off as slaves, her heart pounded with a mix of fear, anger, and determination. She had lost everything that mattered to her—her family, her pack, and her once peaceful life. Now, she was faced with a future of servitude under the very alpha she despised, Zane Mackane. Zane, known for his brutality and ambition, had built his pack through conquest and domination. The acquisition of girls from other packs was one of his methods of accumulating wealth. But little did he know that among these girls stood the one destined to be his mate, chosen by the moon goddess herself. The tension in the air was palpable as the bidding commenced. Eleanor's gaze met Zane's, a burning intensity passing between them. In that moment, they both felt an undeniable connection, an inexplicable pull that defied the rules of their kind. An alpha isn't supposed to mate with an outsider, especially a slave, or he will be dethroned and banished from the pack. Would alpha Zane be able to make the slave his mate and will Eleanor be able to carry out her revenge? This is book 1 of the story
