Alpha Cassian Virel controls everything. His territory, his council, his wolf. Until she arrives and the one thing he has never questioned, his own control, begins to fracture.She is nobody. A translator from a minor pack, unclassified, unremarkable. Except his instincts will not ignore her, his wolf will not categorize her, and the bond forming between them follows no law the Dominion has ever seen.She does not submit. She does not flinch. And she wants nothing from him. When enemies use her presence to challenge his throne, Cassian must choose. Send her away and prove he is still the Alpha he has always been. Or claim what the bond already knows.Some things cannot be commanded. Some bonds cannot be broken. And some women were never meant to be controlled. Only chosen.
