Laine Rivers has spent her entire life preparing to protect her pack from the ruthless Bloodclaw wolves. As the Alpha’s daughter and fiercest warrior of the Silvercrest Pack, she’s sworn to fight against their enemy, not fall for him. But when fate plays its cruel hand, she finds herself bonded by an unbreakable Mate Bond—to none other than Derek Blackthorn, the cold, calculating Alpha of Bloodclaw. Derek never wanted a mate, let alone one from the pack that’s been his sworn enemy since childhood. Hardened by loss and betrayal, he rejects Laine the moment their bond sparks, determined to keep his heart locked away. But fate isn’t so easily denied. As war looms between their packs and a hidden enemy rises in the shadows, Derek and Laine are forced into an uneasy alliance. With every battle they fight side by side, their hatred begins to shift—turning into something dangerous, something undeniable. But when secrets from the past unravel and betrayals cut deep, Laine must decide: Will she defy fate and walk away from the mate who once rejected her, or will she surrender to the bond that threatens to consume them both? Enemies by blood. Fated by destiny. Can love truly conquer hate, or will the past destroy them before they ever have a chance? Find out in this book!
