She woke up bonded to the man who destroyed everything she had left. Nova Reyes was human twenty-four hours ago — an EMT with a little sister to protect and a life she thought was ordinary. Then her town burned in a night of teeth and blood, and she woke up changed. Marked. Bound by a bond she never asked for to Alpha Kade Voss — the man who led the raid that tore her world apart. He says it was a mistake. He says the intelligence was false, that he saved her life instead of ending it, that the mark neither of them chose isn't something either of them can undo. Nova doesn't know what to believe. She only knows her body trusts him in ways her mind refuses to — and that trusting him at all might be the most dangerous thing she's ever done. Because someone inside Kade's own pack is hiding the truth about what really happened that night. And the closer Nova gets to the man the bond has chosen for her, the more she uncovers a conspiracy that was never about her town at all — one that's still hunting her, from the inside. The mark can't be broken. The trust has to be earned. And the enemy might be closer than either of them thinks.
