It started with a curse.

For five years, Jackson 'Jax' King has known exactly when he will die. With nothing to lose, he earned his reputation as the most ruthless Alpha King. Though his enemies are circling, there is one thing he must do before he dies: save his bloodline. But even the Moon Goddess curses him because she gives him a half-blood as his only hope. Layla Carlisle. A disrespectful, greedy, wolf-less human.

Layla seizes the chance to save her sister from a life on the streets, but at what cost? From the moment she agrees to be a surrogate, Jax turns her world upside down. Why did Jax choose her when he and his strange friends can't stand her? Can she fulfil her end of the bargain when it means abandoning her child, just like her mother did?

As Layla spends more time in Jax's bed, she realises nothing is as it seems. Who is Jackson King, and why does he know more about her mother than she does?

Thrown into a world of werewolf politics and dark desires, can Layla and Jax survive the dangerous terrain to unravel the truth behind the curse and the fate of Jax's bloodline?
