Adela was born to be loyal. Loyal to her pack. Loyal to her Alpha. Loyal to the mate she was promised to. But everything changes the night she meets him. Draven is the monster she was warned about—ruthless, blood-soaked, and very much not a wolf. The bond that crackles between them is impossible. Forbidden. Dangerous. And when her world explodes in betrayal, it’s the monster she runs to. Hunted by those she once called family, torn between instinct and allegiance, Adela finds herself drawn deeper into a world where creatures stalk the shadows and nothing is as it seems. Draven has secrets—and a hunger that even she might not survive. He doesn’t want to be needed. She doesn’t want to fall. But fate doesn’t care what either of them wants.

"I was cursed from birth. Rejected by my mate. Marked as weak. But the worst betrayal? Fate gave me another one." When Zeena flees her pack in the dead of night, she’s not just running from pain—she’s running from the ruin of being a wolf-less girl in a world that only values strength. After surviving rejection, near assault, and a narrow escape through unknown territories, she thinks she’s finally free. Until she’s caught. Again. Bound, interrogated, and thrown at the feet of another Alpha, Zeena is barely clinging to her dignity… when a stranger walks in and declares her his mate. She doesn’t want another mate. She doesn’t want fate. She just wants to survive. But the more she runs from her fate, the more it seems determined to find her. And this time, fate isn't just cruel — it’s possessive, dark-eyed, and deadly determined not to let her go.
