Five years ago, Maya was an omega wolf from a dying pack, sold in an arranged marriage to Kael Stormheart, the most feared Alpha King in the territory. Their one night together was cold and dutiful, but it left her pregnant. Terrified he would reject the baby or use it as a political tool, she fled before dawn and never looked back.Now she is a waitress in a small human town, raising her four year old son Theo alone. He is perfect except when he gets upset. His eyes glow gold. His tiny hands grow claws. She has taught him to hide, to be still, to never let the wolf out.Until the day the diner bell rings and Kael walks in. He has been searching for five years, driven mad by a mating bond she never knew existed. He smells their son before he sees her. He wants them both. He will not let them go again.But a rival pack has learned of the heir. They will kill anyone to possess him. Maya must decide whether to trust the Alpha who claims she is his mate or keep running from the only man who has ever made her feel alive.
