My alpha mate forced me to become a pack whore.

I exhausted all my shamanic power to save him, yet he slaughtered everyone in my pack—including my parents.

I begged Arthur to at least spare the infant in swaddling clothes.

But he fed the child's corpse to beasts before my eyes.

Then he drove ninety-nine acupuncture needles into my body, forcing me to become the cheapest whore in the entire werewolf camp.

"They say witches heal faster than mortals. Since you won't die, I'll make you wish you were dead."
