Dr. Nora Whitlock has never lost a patient on her table. Then a stranger puts a gun to her back in a hospital parking garage and tells her she has one night to save a man who is already dying.Alpha Rhys Calloway lies on a cellar table, grey-lipped and burning with a poison no lab in the world can name. His pack has run out of healers, out of time, and out of choices, so they stole a human surgeon to do what their own could not.Nora wants nothing to do with wolves, packs, or the men who threaten her family. But she is a doctor first, and her hands move before her fear catches up. The moment her skin touches his chest, something snaps into place. His heartbeat steadies. His eyes open, gold and furious. And the whole room goes silent.Humans are not supposed to be mates. Rhys was raised to hate them. Nora refuses to be claimed by a man who had her kidnapped.But the bond does not care what either of them wants. It keeps him alive only while she is near, and she is the only person who knows the poison did not come from a rival's blade. It came from a laboratory. A laboratory with a grant code she recognizes from her own hospital.Someone inside the pack wants Rhys dead. Someone inside Mercy Harbor wants Nora silent. And a woman she buried at seven years old may not be dead at all.She came to save one life. She may have to burn her own to save everyone else's.

He bought her like meat. She became his Alpha.*  Selena was born wolf-less. A defect. For 18 years she survived chains, rejection, and a father who called her “trash”. Until the night Damien—Alpha of the North, warlord they call Beast—claimed her as his mate.  He wanted a weapon. She gave him war.  When rogue wolves take a child and dare to call her weak, Selena walks into a cave bleeding and kills 20 men alone. With his daggers. With his name on her lips. She doesn’t beg. She chooses.  Now the north is drowning in blood. Her sister dies in her arms. And Selena must decide: stay the girl in chains, or become the Alpha who rebuilds a kingdom from ash.  *Possessive Alpha x Wounded Girl Boss*  He calls her “mate”. She calls him “mine”.  Winter meets fire. Beast meets girl. And the broken chain becomes a crown.
