Nyra Vale has one rule, never stay in one place long enough to be found. It’s the only reason she’s still alive. For years, she’s been running from creatures she doesn’t fully understand, guided only by one terrifying truth: her blood is not normal. It’s rare. Coveted. Dangerous. And whatever it is, the vampire coven wants it badly enough to burn entire towns to get to her. But running becomes impossible the moment she crosses into Crescent Ridge. Werewolf territory. Alpha territory. Kael Draven is not a man you ignore. Ruthless, controlled, controlling and feared even among his own kind, he has spent years protecting his pack from threats beyond their borders. So when a human girl with a scent that shouldn’t exist stumbles into his land, he knows immediately, she’s not human. And worse… She’s his mate. Nyra wants nothing to do with him, his pack, or the war she’s unknowingly stepped into. But Kael isn’t asking. He’s not negotiating. And he’s definitely not letting her leave. Because the moment Nyra arrived, the balance shifted. The vampires are closing in. Secrets long buried are beginning to surface. And the truth about Nyra’s blood could either end the war… or start a far more dangerous one. This time, running won’t save her. And the Alpha who refuses to let her go might be the only thing standing between her and everything that wants her dead.
