Kaelen Thorne lives a double life. On the ice, he’s Northwood University’s golden boy—captain of the hockey team, future pro, and the epitome of control. But beneath the surface lies a truth far more dangerous: he’s the son of an Alpha, heir to a secretive and powerful werewolf pack. Bound by legacy and expectation, Kaelen walks a path carved by duty—until her scent stops him cold. A haunting blend of frost and jasmine. His fated mate. Maya is a freshman art student with a wild spirit and no idea that the world she lives in is darker—and wilder—than she ever imagined. To Kaelen, she’s everything: light in the shadows, calm in the storm. But to his pack, she’s a threat—a human mate is forbidden, a crack in their centuries-old armor. His father, the ruthless Alpha, demands he sever the bond... or lose everything. But Kaelen’s wolf won’t let her go. Drawn by instinct and ruled by love, Kaelen risks everything to stay close, hiding who he is as he infiltrates Maya’s world through the quiet halls of her art club. But secrets breed danger—and enemies are watching. As rival wolves circle and the truth begins to unravel, Maya finds herself caught in a storm of claws, lies, and ancient bloodlines. To save her, Kaelen must make an impossible choice: Break the laws that define him. Or break the bond that completes him.
