He’s the Alpha heir who swore he’d never take a mate. She’s the outcast he can’t resist. Too bad fate doesn’t care about pack politics. Kaela Vireen was never supposed to survive the Trial of Verdant Ash, let alone catch the attention of Corin Therros, the ruthless future Alpha with a reputation as cold as his blade. When their bond ignites under the blood moon, everything changes... and not for the better. Corin rejects her. Publicly. Brutally. However, the curiosity of an illicit touch in the jungle transforms into something much more hazardous, and Kaela is caught in between passion and disgrace, pursued by secrets that are more profound than the treason of her mother. He claims that she is not what he wants. But his wolf is telling a very different story. In a pack where claiming a mate can lead to a powerful new position or a harsh punishment, Kaela will have to choose: fight or flight against her mate, or run the risk knowing that she will have nothing left after that.
