I got lost in the woods during a storm. A massive black wolf saved my life... And vanished. Weeks later, I meet a stranger in town, with the same golden eyes. His name is Kade Rivera. He’s powerful. Dangerous. Off-limits. Because he’s the heir to a secret werewolf pack that has one rule: Never. Love. A human. Too late. Our souls already knew each other before we met. Every time he touches me, I burn. Every time he pulls away, I break. But Kade is promised to another... A fierce Luna who would kill to keep him. His father, the Alpha, wants me dead. And me? I just found out I’m not entirely human after all. To love him, I’ll have to survive the trials of the moon. To keep me, he’ll have to break his blood oath. Because when fate writes your name in the stars, no law can erase it.

I walked into that pack with one goal, catch a killer. Not fall for the one man I swore I’d never see again. Grayson. Alpha. Arrogant. Dangerous. The same man who hated me for years… and now looks at me like I belong to him. The second our eyes meet, something inside me ignites. The mate bond. A cruel, twisted joke from the universe. Because he’s a werewolf, I’m human, and this kind of bond is forbidden. But when he’s close, logic burns away. His scent seeps under my skin. His touch makes it impossible to breathe. And the way he growls my name… it’s a sin I crave more than air. We’re supposed to be enemies. Instead, we’re tangled in a fire that could ruin us both. The pack is dying. A killer lurks in the shadows. And the Alpha I hate might be the only one who can save me… or destroy me completely. I came to stop a monster. I didn’t expect to fall for one.
