Aasira Hart had the perfect life. Loving parents, reliable friends and good grades. Born as the next Lead Warrior in line gave her high hopes and a good sense of purpose. Finding out her mate was the future Alpha of their pack Lucas should have been the cherry on top, but nothing could be less true. There was one big problem: he was already in love with someone else. Fearing shame upon his family, he allows Aasira in his house and pretends to be the perfect mate in public. Yet, as soon as the front door closes, he becomes cold and distant, not bothering to hide his disdain for Aasira. Aasira went along with this, fearing Lucas' reaction if she didn't play along his farce, and unable to resist the mate bond. She tries to be the perfect mate for Lucas, but everyday, she can feel herself crumbling away a little more. It doesn't help that Lucas still regularly meets up with his lover, breaking Aasira's heart over and over again. As if things couldn't get worse, Aasira just doesn't get pregnant with an heir, even after years of trying, making Lucas become even more hateful.
