I didn't want a mate. I am the Alpha's of Alpha's. She was the woman that showed me how wrong I can be. My live didn't mean anything until I met her. She is my world. King of the Alpha's mean nothing without her next to me. Now I just need to make her mine.

Willow Ridge looks like the perfect place for Jessica Hale to start over—quiet streets, friendly faces, and forests that whisper with old magic. But the townspeople are hiding something. Watching her. Waiting. A brutal, unnatural killing has shaken the community for the first time in twenty‑five years, and Jessica can feel the violence echoing in the air. Her ability to see what others can’t—shifting bodies, flickering auras, hidden intent—draws unwanted attention from the creatures who walk openly in Willow Ridge’s shadowed corners. Most unsettling of all is David Black, the future Alpha whose golden eyes seem to see straight through her. Their pull toward each other is undeniable… and forbidden. Because Jessica isn’t supernatural. She’s rarer. Older. Born once every hundred years. And something ancient in Willow Ridge wants her power—wants her—for its own.
