Julieta Benavides only wanted to know who hit her car. Instead, her camera captured shadows that walked like people… and two white figures staring straight at her window. When she tries to shake off the fear by going out with friends, chaos explodes inside the Howl Moon Bar. People fight. Chairs fly. The moon glows unnaturally bright. And then he appears. A tall, cold-eyed stranger who steps between her and danger— whose touch burns, whose scent overwhelms, and whose first word to her is: “Mate.” But the next second he pushes her away, demanding, “What are you?” Julieta thought she was human. He knows she isn’t. And now something ancient has awakened inside her— something even the shadows fear. He was supposed to protect her. Now he can’t stay away from her. And Julieta? She can’t decide if she wants to run from him… or run into him.
