*Story Description - Extended Version**She ran to escape her fate. Fate found her anyway.*For five years, Selene Cross has been a ghost. She erased her name, faked her death, and buried the wolf inside her deep enough to forget she ever had one. In the city, she’s just Luna - a tired nurse working double shifts, helping people who don’t ask questions and don’t care about pack law. It’s not freedom, not really. But it’s hers. And she’ll fight anyone who tries to take it.Then Kade Blackwood walks back into her life.He’s the alpha she left behind. Her fated mate. The man whose touch used to make her feel safe and trapped at the same time. Ruthless in the boardroom and on the battlefield, Kade rules the Blackwood Pack with an iron grip and a reputation for never losing what belongs to him. And Selene belongs to him. At least, the bond says she does.One night changes everything. Attacked by rogues in a hospital parking lot, Selene is seconds from being torn apart when Kade appears. He kills the threat in minutes, but the real danger starts the moment his eyes meet hers. The mate bond snaps awake like a live wire, burning through the walls she spent years building. One touch, one look, and all the anger and longing she thought she’d killed comes rushing back.But Kade isn’t the only one who wants her back.Damon Vance, the heir to a rival pack and the man her father sold her to five years ago, returns with an old contract signed in blood. In the eyes of pack law, Selene is still his. If she doesn’t return willingly, he’ll drag her back by force and use her to humiliate Kade and seize power.Now Selene is caught in the middle of a war she never wanted to fight.Kade offers protection, but his protection comes with chains. He wants her safe, but he wants her claimed, marked, and never leaving his side again. Damon offers power and position, but his love is possessive, cruel, and built on control. Selene refuses to be a prize in their game.To break free, she has to confront the father who sold her, challenge the laws that treat women like property, and decide what she actually wants. Because the mate bond between her and Kade isn’t going away. It’s growing stronger every day, feeding on every stolen glance, every argument, every moment they’re too close.The problem is, the more she feels for him, the more she loses control. And control is all she has left.
