The mating mark was supposed to complete me. Instead, it exposed me. Vivian spent her entire life hiding the truth: she's half wolf, half hunter, the daughter of a forbidden union that should never have existed. She thought she was safe when Richard, the pack Beta, claimed her as his mate. She was wrong. During their mating ceremony, when Richard's mark touched her skin, it glowed silver instead of gold, betraying her hunter heritage to everyone present. He rejected her instantly, calling her an abomination, and the Beta council ordered her execution at dawn. Vivian runs to the only neutral ground she knows: the Hunter's Sanctuary, where supernatural beings and hunters maintain an uneasy truce. She expects to disappear into the human world and never look back. Instead, she finds Benjamin, the pack's true Alpha, wounded and in hiding. Benjamin has been declared a traitor by Richard, who seized power in his absence. But Benjamin wasn't running from his responsibilities. He was investigating his father's murder, and the evidence he found proves the previous Alpha wasn't killed by hunters as everyone believes. The killer is still in the pack, and they're planning to strike again. When Benjamin sees Vivian, he recognizes her immediately. They grew up together. He was always kind to her, always protective, though neither understood why. Now he knows: she's his fated mate, and her hybrid nature makes her the only one who can help him expose the truth. Vivian's hunter abilities, suppressed for years, are awakening. She's immune to werewolf magic, can track like no pure wolf ever could, and can move between both worlds without detection. She's exactly what Benjamin needs to catch a killer. But Richard isn't giving up. When he realizes Vivian's hybrid powers make her a valuable political asset, he launches a campaign to reclaim her, painting himself as the victim of her deception. The pack is fracturing. War between wolves and hunters is brewing. And someone is hunting both Benjamin and Vivian, determined to bury the truth about the previous Alpha's murder along with anyone who knows it. Vivian was raised to hide what she was. Now she has to embrace both halves of her nature to survive. Because in a world that sees her as an abomination, being different might be the only thing that saves them all.
