After killing his unfaithful mate and best friend, he built a ruthless empire where weakness is a death sentence.Then he finds her—Aria Vale, a wolfless, abused girl hiding in the ruins of a fallen pack. She's terrified of him… and fated to be his.He should reject the bond.He should walk away.But the moment she looks at him with those wide, broken eyes—he knows:She’s his to protect.His to possess.His to love… or destroy.But Kael isn’t the only one who wants her.A rival Alpha will stop at nothing to steal her—his mate, his queen, his salvation.And when Aria is taken, Kael will wage war on the world.Even if it means becoming the monster he thought he left behind."He killed for betrayal once. He’ll kill again to protect what's his."
