Aveline escapes Albert Scott's repulsive proposal, certain Oliver will shield her. A spiked drink shatters that safety, placing her in bed with Sebastian, Oliver's godfather. She dismisses the encounter as a correctable mistake, yet Sebastian is the Alpha King whose authority has already forged an unbreakable bond around her life. The refuge she sought becomes the center of a power she cannot negotiate, while the past she fled still hunts her.
