With the option to kill or be killed, she needs to win in order to escape to freedom along with Piper, the only two wolf-witch hybrids left. But what will she do when the one she is trying to escape from, turns out to be her mate? Will she fight the bond, or will she be pulled in by the bonds that bind her to him?
