My fated mate tried to kill me.

Finding myself as the unexpected and reluctant leader of my ruined pack,

I encounter Petra—the lethal beauty sent to end my life.

Beyond all reason, I spare her and bring her on my journey.

I must receive a royal blessing to become Alpha of my pack.

As we evade bloodthirsty Lone wolves and dangerous fairies,

Her intoxicating scent drives me wild; her touch electrifies my skin.

My mind screams "enemy," but my wolf howls to claim her as mine.

With each moment, the lines blur between duty and desire, reason and instinct.

As her past threatens to tear her away, I face an impossible choice:

Trust my would-be assassin or protect my pack from her kind.

One thing's for certain—anyone who tries to take her from me will meet a fate worse than death.
