The bounty on her head was supposed to end with a bullet or a silver blade. Instead, Aria Cross staggered onto Iron Fang territory bleeding, exhausted, and carrying a secret that could shatter every pack law west of the Mississippi. The moment her scent hit the air, Adrian Kane, President of the Hybrid Clubhouse and Alpha of the Iron Fang, knew she was his mate. Claiming her in front of the entire club was the only way to keep rival packs from dragging her out in pieces. But public claiming means rewriting the club’s oldest rules, binding their lives in blood and ritual, and exposing the truth Aria has spent years burying: she is not just a deer-shifter. Something older and far more dangerous runs in her veins. Now every rival Alpha wants her dead or owned, half the club questions whether their President has lost his mind, and Adrian is ready to burn the world before he lets anyone take what is his. The only question left is whether Aria will survive the claiming long enough to decide if she wants to be claimed at all.
