Six years ago, Chloe—a young woman working a part-time hotel job to fund her tuition—unexpectedly saved Xander, the CEO of the Vance Group and the reigning Wolf King, who had been drugged and pushed to the brink of a violent frenzy. Swept up in a whirlwind of passion, the two spent the night together. The very next day, Chloe fled in haste.
Now, six years later, Xander—having failed to find his destined mate—is on the verge of losing control completely as he descends into a violent "frenzy" phase. Meanwhile, Chloe’s five-year-old genius son, Leo, has been hospitalized with a dangerously high fever—a consequence of his latent werewolf physiology.
Desperate to cover the exorbitant cost of the specialized medication needed to save him, Chloe is forced to sign a binding contract, effectively selling herself into servitude as a body double for Victoria within the Group’s subterranean facilities.
However, true bloodlines and destiny cannot remain forever concealed by dark magic. When Leo—acting to protect his mother during a moment of crisis—breaks through the magical seals binding him and reveals the dazzling golden eyes of a Wolf King, Xander finally follows his instincts and scent to corner the woman he has spent years searching for within the shadowy depths of the laboratory. Ultimately, Victoria—her conspiracy exposed—is brought before the entire clan to face judgment.
