Raven Logan watched her parents murdered before her eyes. Taken by the Black Ledger, she was forged into a cold, deadly assassin; trained to kill without question or feeling. When she's offered one final mission that promises her freedom, she accepts without hesitation. Her target? Alpha Lucien of the Shadow Pack. Her deadline? Six months. Her mistake? Falling for him. Fate plays its cruelest trick when the man she's meant to kill turns out to be her fated mate. Torn between love and loyalty, Raven must face the shocking truth about her past, the lies that shaped her, and the curse that binds their souls. Because in the end, one of them must die for the other to live.

Zenele has lived her whole life haunted by a single truth: Alpha Varek’s father murdered her parents, and the Alpha line must pay in blood. To gain the power she needs, Zenele makes the ultimate sacrifice; trading her life to a witch in exchange for her assistant, protection, and a burning chance at vengeance. Once her mission is complete, her soul and body belong to the witch. Zenele doesn’t care, she never planned to survive this journey anyway. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. When she infiltrates Varek’s territory, ready to end his bloodline, she discovers an impossible bond snapping into place. Zenele is Alpha Varek’s healing mate; the only one who can mend the violent curse slowly killing him. Her touch calms him, her presence steadies him, her life is now tied to his. And the cruelest part? If she kills him… she dies too. Caught between the vengeance she swore on and the bond that threatens to rewrite her destiny, Zenele is forced into a deadly choice. Will she finally strike down the Alpha she came to destroy? Will she kill him and let death take her too? Either way… one of them isn’t making it out alive.
