Rejected by the Alpha she thought she loved, Lena is broken—and Valerian is here to claim what’s his. Powerful, dangerous, and magnetic, he’s her fated mate, a bond that ignites with an irresistible pull. Every kiss he demands, every touch he claims, drags her deeper into a hunger she can’t fight. Valerian will not let her run—he’ll push her to the edge, make her beg, and consume her with pleasure until she’s helpless to deny him. But Valerian isn’t just a lover—he’s a warrior. A war is coming, and the battle between Alpha bloodlines will tear their world apart. In the heart of the storm, Lena must choose: to surrender completely to the flames of their undeniable bond… or risk losing everything, including the love and passion that could destroy them both.
