I thought I knew danger. I thought I could handle the wild. I was wrong.I came to this secluded forest town to study wildlife, not the supernatural. But the moment I saw him—the Alpha—my world shifted. Kael was magnetic, commanding, and terrifyingly powerful. Every glance, every movement, every word made my heart race and my instincts scream at me to run… and yet, I couldn’t.The forest holds secrets older than the mountains, and soon I discover I’m caught in one of them. My presence awakens instincts in Kael I can’t understand, and draws the attention of forces I can’t see. Every night is a choice between desire and survival, trust and fear, love and danger.Marked by the Alpha, I find myself torn between my independence and a bond I never expected. He is dominant, protective, and relentless, and I am irresistibly drawn to him. I’m not just falling in love—I’m becoming his mate.But can I survive the rival alphas, the pack politics, and the darkness hunting us? Or is this bond stronger than the danger surrounding us?In this world, under the moon and among the trees, I learn that some marks are permanent, some bonds are unbreakable, and some alphas… claim you completely.
