This is now a preview: you can find the next five chapters free on my REAM account. (Sorry, a girls gotta eat somehow. 😂) You can find the link in my bio. Also, I've made some pretty steamy edits that are posted on my YouTube- that link is also in my bio. Happy reading.
Arden Evers was doing fine.
Not good, exactly.
But fine.
She had a job. Enough money to cover the bills if nothing unexpected happened.
And she was used to being alone.
But that was okay.
Because five years ago, her clan exiled her for failing to shift, and Arden learned very quickly that needing people was mostly just giving them the opportunity to disappoint you.
Things were going fine until her boss sent her up the mountain.
And now, for reasons Arden would very much like explained, they've decided she might be the answer to all their problems.
Which is unfortunate.
Mostly because desperate shifters have a very flexible definition of consent when the survival of their clans is involved.
There is, however, one person standing between Arden and becoming everyone's sacrificial lamb.
Jo.
Twenty-five years old.
Alpha.
Quietly terrifying when he wants to be.
And apparently willing to make an enemy of every clan on the mountain if it means keeping Arden safe.
Which would be a lot easier to deal with if looking at him didn't make something warm and stupid happen inside her.
She isn't interested in Jo.
She's really not.
Her newly awakened bear, on the other hand?
Traitor.
