“You are my mate, Elaine. Whether you accept it or not… you’re mine.” One moment, Elaine was dreaming of a future with Bran, her childhood love. The next, her father—the Alpha—announced she would be mated to Kave, the ruthless new Alpha King of the eastern pack. It wasn’t for love. It wasn’t her choice. It was a political alliance, sealed under the rising moon. Now, ripped away from her home and forced into the arms of a stranger, Elaine must navigate a dangerous new world—one filled with jealous rivals, deadly hunters, and a mate whose amber eyes see straight into her soul. Kave is dominant, possessive, and unyielding. He protects what’s his… and Elaine has no doubt he considers her his most prized possession. But as passion sparks and loyalties are tested, Elaine faces a terrifying truth: Fate may have bound them, but love could destroy them both.
