Samantha Black—“Sam” to anyone who knows her—has always lived in two worlds. By day, she’s a nursing student at the pack’s college, pulling grueling shifts as a hospital tech and grinding through clinicals every other week. By dawn, she’s up before the sun, training with the warriors under the watchful eye of her father, the pack’s head warrior.
With jet-black hair and piercing ice-blue eyes, Sam looks every bit the fighter she was raised to be. But her heart belongs to healing, not battle. Balancing her studies, her job, and the relentless 4 a.m. training schedule leaves her stretched thin—yet she refuses to break.
What Sam doesn’t know is that fate has a different kind of challenge waiting. As secrets stir between rival packs, and whispers of danger edge closer to her world, she begins to sense that her future is not entirely her own.
And when she finally discovers who fate has bound her to, the truth could upend everything—her career, her pack, and even her heart.
