MasukAlpha Roman of the Greycrest Pack is under relentless pressure. For years, his pack has demanded he choose a mate—someone worthy of becoming Luna and securing the pack’s future. But Roman has always refused. His wolf won’t accept just anyone. It’s waiting…for her. Just as he’s on the verge of giving in to duty, everything changes. A chance collision in the city brings him face-to-face with Maya Scott, a woman who has no idea his world exists. The bond hits instantly—sharp, undeniable, consuming. She’s his mate. And Roman wants her. But where he feels certainty, Maya feels nothing but confusion. To her, he’s just an intense, dangerously attractive billionaire who seems to have decided she belongs to him after a single meeting. As Roman struggles to win her over without revealing the truth about what he is, unrest brews within Greycrest. A human Luna is unthinkable—an insult to tradition and a risk the pack may not survive. Whispers turn to schemes, and powerful enemies begin to circle. Now, Roman must protect the woman fate has bound to him, even as she resists the world he’s trying to pull her into. Because claiming her could cost him everything— …and losing her isn’t an option.

It did not budge. There was no click, no give, not even a millimeter of slack. It was as if the door had been welded shut the moment she stepped inside.Panic, cold and sharp, spiked through her veins. She dropped her bag and grabbed the handle with both hands, planting her feet against the doorframe, but the biometric lock remained completely unyielding.“Hey!” she shouted, banging her open palm against the solid mahogany. “Open this door! You cannot just lock me in here!”Silence answered her, swallowed quickly by the cavernous expanse of Roman’s living room.She spun around, her chest heaving as she took in her surroundings. The penthouse was a masterpiece of modern architecture, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, dark marble accents, and sleek minimalist furniture. It was breathtakingly beautiful. It was a fortres
The brass doorknob turned with an agonizingly slow squeak.Maya’s breath hitched, her fingers tightening around the classified files until the edges bit painfully into her palms. Alpha. Luna. The Greycrest Pack. The words swam before her eyes, an impossible puzzle of cult-like terminology mixed with terrifying surveillance photos of herself.The heavy door swung open, and the breath she had been holding rushed out in a panicked gasp.It was Roman.He filled the narrow doorway of the breakroom, his broad shoulders practically brushing the frame. He wore his usual impeccably tailored charcoal suit, but the polished, unbothered billionaire facade was entirely gone. His chest heaved, his strong jaw was clenched tight enough to snap bone, and for a fleeting, terrifying second, the irises of his dark eyes flashed a brilliant, inhuman amber.“Maya,” he breathed, his deep voice carrying a strange, turbulent mix of profound relief and bubbling, violent rage.His intense gaze dropped from her p
What secret is he hiding?That single, looping question had kept Maya awake all night, playing like a broken record in her mind. She stood by her apartment window, staring out at the rain-slicked city streets, clutching a mug of coffee that had gone cold hours ago. Her reflection in the glass looked hollow, the dark circles under her eyes a testament to the strange, bone-deep exhaustion that had plagued her for weeks.It was a fatigue unlike anything she had ever experienced. It wasn’t just physical tiredness from opening the new bookstore; it felt as though a vital piece of her soul was desperately reaching out for something just out of her grasp, draining her physical reserves in the process. She felt fragile, constantly shivering, with a bizarre ache in her chest that only seemed to subside when Roman Blake was near.But last night, that mysterious exhaustion had been violently overridden by pure, unadulterated terror.The power outage. The sudden, pitch-black darkness. And then… t
The morning air was crisp, but for Maya it felt suffocating. As she unlocked the front door of her bookstore the tiny bell chimed, a sound that usually brought her peace. Today, it sounded like a warning.Why on earth did she feel like she was being watched?She shook the feeling off, blaming it on the lack of sleep. She was rearranging a display of vintage poetry when the door burst open with such force that the bell nearly flew off its hinge.Roman Blake didn’t enter a room; he stormed into it.Today, his presence was even more suffocating than the city heat. He looked as though he hadn’t slept either, his dark eyes burning with a possessive fire that made Maya’s heart do a traitorous flutter.“Roman? It’s eight in the morning,” Maya said, wiping dust from her hands and trying to maintain her composure.He didn’t answer with a greeting. Instead, he closed the distance between them in three predatory strides, his hands coming up to frame her face. He searched her eyes, his thumbs gr
