"She might be the key. " *** It started with a curse. For five years, Jackson King has known exactly when he is going to die. For five years, he has kept it a secret. With nothing to lose, he has earned his reputation as the most ruthless Alpha King. His enemies are circling, but there is one thing he must do before he dies. But even the Moon Goddess has cursed him because she has given him a half-blood as his mate, Layla Carlisle. In the werewolf world, no one would ever accept anyone like Layla as their queen. If anyone finds out who she is, they will kill her without a second thought because wolf-less half-bloods are abominations, and they are worse than humans. Unfortunately, she is the only one who can give him what he wants and save his bloodline. When Layla is offered a way to save herself and her sister from a life on the streets, she takes the chance. But what will it cost her? Jackson and all his weird friends don't like her, so she has no idea why he chose her. Moreover, a seemingly powerful but mysterious institution called The Circle is looking for her. The longer she stays in his bed, the more she realizes that things aren't what she expected. Secrets will be revealed, and danger is coming to her.
