Ivy Cross was Luna of the Ashford pack, loyal and devoted, until the night her mate Alpha Kade Ashford let his own wolves kill her rather than admit he had been secretly trading her life away for a rival alliance all along. She wakes up five years earlier, before the mate bond ever forms, with full memory of the betrayal that ended her life. This time, Ivy has no intention of falling in love with the man who will one day watch her die and call it necessary. She intends to be standing over him when the tables finally turn. As the summit that once bound her to Kade approaches, Ivy must decide how far she is willing to go to destroy the alliance that cost her everything, without losing herself to the same cold calculation that made Kade capable of murdering the woman who trusted him most.

Elena Hart never believed in monsters until a car accident and an emergency blood transfusion tied her to one. Damon Voss is the most feared Alpha in the territory, a man who has spent years hunting whoever destroyed his family, unaware that the blood now running through Elena's veins carries the very answers he has been searching for. A blood bond is not like an ordinary mate mark. It cannot be broken. It cannot be rejected. And once werewolf society learns it exists between a human and an Alpha, both Elena and Damon become targets for enemies who would kill to control what their bond actually means. As secrets from Damon's past collide with a danger Elena never asked to inherit, they must decide whether the bond that ties them together is a curse neither of them can escape, or the one thing powerful enough to save them both.
