When Clara is forced to leave her old life behind and move in with her aunt and uncle's secretive pack deep in the forest, she discovers a world she never knew existed-a world of werewolves, ancient traditions, and dangerous secrets. As the only human in a pack of powerful wolves, she struggles to find her place, especially when she learns about the mate bond-a connection that can't be broken.

But the alpha, a brooding and scarred leader named Kieran, wants nothing to do with her. Haunted by the betrayal of his first mate and burdened by the weight of his pack's expectations, Kieran is determined to keep Clara at arm's length. He rejects her, believing it's the only way to protect her-and himself-from further pain.
