Aria Dawson has spent her entire life believing she is human; fragile, ordinary, forgettable. But everything changes the night a monstrous wolf hunts her through the forest, only for its true form to emerge: Lucien Thorne, the ruthless Alpha of the Nightshade Pack. Lucien recognizes Aria instantly.A scent. A spark. A bond.A mate he should never have.Because Aria isn’t just a human girl running from her past, she is the key to a prophecy, the heir to a power her family died to conceal, and the one woman who could tear Lucien’s kingdom apart.Worse, the sigil burned into her skin says she belongs to two Alphas, Lucien, and the man hunting her from the shadows.What begins as a desperate attempt to understand who she truly is becomes a spiraling web of danger, betrayal, and forbidden desire. But when the truth of her lineage is revealed, and the bond threatens to destroy them both Aria must choose between destiny, or the Alpha who would burn the world for her. What happens when the mate bond isn’t a blessing but a curse?

She enters his pack to end his reign. He calls her by the name of the soul he has been cursed to love and lose forever. Lyra Varyn is a deadly rogue, a witch-wolf, and the last surviving heir of her slaughtered pack. Trained in the shadows and shaped as a weapon of vengeance, she accepts her final mission: infiltrate the Shadowfang pack and assassinate Alpha king Eryndor Valehart, the immortal ruler, one of the oldest Lycan responsible for her family’s extinction.  But nothing goes as plan. From the moment she steps into his territory, the Alpha claims he knows her.  Not as an intruder but as his mate. In a world of claws, curses and kings, love is the most dangerous weapon. And as forbidden magic blurs the line between vengeance and fate, Lyra must choose: Fulfil the mission that defines her or surrender to a bond that was written in blood and tragedy.

Aria Thornwood never mattered to anyone. With a weak wolf and a father who only had eyes for her perfect stepsister, she learned to stay invisible and keep her head down. But when her father's gambling debts catch up to him, Aria discovers exactly how little she's worth. To save himself, Marcus sells her to Kade Silvercrest, the most brutal Alpha in the territory, as payment for money he'll never be able to repay. Kade Silvercrest didn't build his empire by being soft. He runs his pack like a crime family, and mercy isn't in his vocabulary. When a worthless Beta tries to pay off millions in debt with his weak daughter, Kade takes her just to make a point. She's nothing to him, just another transaction in a world where everything has a price. But his wolf has other ideas, and the mate bond he's spent years avoiding suddenly snaps into place with a girl he never wanted. Thrown into a world where everyone wants her dead and the one person who could protect her refuses to even look at her, Aria has to learn fast or she won't survive. But as her wolf finally wakes up and secrets about her real bloodline start surfacing, Aria realizes her weakness was a lie. Someone has been suppressing her power her entire life, and they're terrified of what she'll become when she finally breaks free. With betrayal coming from every direction and a mate bond that might kill them both, Aria stops trying to survive and starts learning how to destroy anyone who ever underestimated her.
