Ava is 18, wolfless, and rejected by her fated mate in front of 600 people. She runs into the forbidden forest and trespasses on the land of Darius Black — the 26-year-old Mafia Alpha everyone fears. He should kill her. Instead he claims her: "You're mine now, wolfless girl." Taken to his mansion, hated by his world, hunted by her ex, Ava discovers her wolfless birth is not a curse but a secret power. And her mother's locket holds the key. A rejected girl. A dangerous Alpha. A love that will burn all packs.
