ZARI HAS ONE MISSION: Avenge her family. For fifteen years, she’s trained as a Hunter, her hatred for werewolves—especially their ruthless Alpha, Lukas—forged into every silver bullet she carries. Her moment of vengeance is finally here: Lukas is pinned beneath her, his life a breath away from the kill shot. LUKAS HAS ONE RULE: Never show weakness. As the cold, iron-willed leader of the feared Shadow Moon Pack, he has spent centuries protecting his own, even if it means ruling through fear. When the small, lethal Hunter has a rifle pressed to his head, he only sees a miserable threat... until their skin touches. In a shock that shatters worlds, the ancient 'Mate Bond' slams into them both, chaining the Hunter to the Alpha she swore to destroy. Now, Zari is trapped. Claimed not with affection, but with a terrifying command: she must return with Lukas to the den of the monsters who slaughtered her lineage. Her hatred is a weapon, but the bond is absolute, demanding submission to the enemy. Will she complete her vow in secret and risk a Pack war, or will the raw, demanding lure of her destiny—and her forbidden Mate—turn her silver-laced vengeance into an agonizing, lethal obsession?
