She spent her whole life waiting for her mate. She never expected him to be her brother's best friend. Emma has always known exactly what she wants: to become a warrior, protect her pack, and find the mate the Moon Goddess chose for her. What she doesn't want is an overprotective Alpha telling her what she can and can't do. Cole has spent four years waiting for his fated mate. As Alpha of Ember Ridge, he's prepared for just about anything. Except discovering that the woman destined to be his is his best friend's stubborn, smart-mouthed little sister. And Emma has absolutely no intention of making things easy for him. But when Emma's rare red wolf begins revealing abilities that haven't been seen in generations, their new bond becomes the least of their complications. An ancient gift, a mysterious family heirloom, and an unknown danger gathering beyond their borders threaten everything they hold dear. Emma may have been born to heal, but she's never been afraid to fight. And when the time comes, even the Moon Goddess may not be able to protect them from what's coming. One stubborn red wolf. One fiercely protective Alpha. One mate bond that could change everything.
