He wants to hate the stubborn rogue before him, but the hunger to claim her is irresistible.

However, peace is an illusion for a rogue living in the BloodHounds Pack, especially a rogue who is the Alpha's mate. Caught in the jealousy of a rival and a dark enemy from her past that could shatter everything, Layla is forced into a cruel dilemma—‎choose the Alpha who is slowly melting her frozen heart, or save the family she thought she lost forever. In the end, can two souls survive for a love worth dying for? Or will they be torn apart by secrets and those who would love to see them destroyed?

Army Specialist Rowan Harper has spent her entire life fighting to outrun the pain she left behind in the mountains of West Virginia. Raised by the grandmother who became her whole world and haunted by the mystery of the father she never knew, the Army gave Rowan something she’d never had before—a purpose. But during a routine training exercise deep in Germany’s legendary Black Forest, everything changes. Injured and separated from her unit, Rowan is certain she won’t survive the freezing night… until a massive steel-gray direwolf appears from the shadows. Instead of attacking, the mysterious wolf refuses to leave her side. He protects her. Hunts for her. Keeps her alive.

*She was banished to die. He saved her to possess her. Now three kings want to claim her… and the secret she carries could shatter kingdoms.* Elysia Belrose has spent her entire life as nothing—scentless, powerless, invisible. The night her mother dies, she drowns her grief in the arms of a brutal stranger who makes her feel wanted for one perfect moment… before shattering her: *“Don’t get the wrong idea. This didn’t mean anything.”* Two years later, she finally finds hope when Killian, the Alpha’s son, claims her as his mate. She tells herself she can earn his love. She’s wrong. When she discovers him in bed with the Alpha King’s daughter, her rejection provokes his rage. Beaten bloody and accused of seduction, Elysia is banished to the Wildlands for 100 days—a death sentence wrapped in mercy. But the man who saves her is the same stranger from that night. The one who broke her. Rhaegar Draven. The Alpha King. He doesn’t want her. He doesn’t believe in second chances. But when she begs for 99 days of protection, he agrees to one condition: she stays silent, obedient, and out of his way. Except Elysia is hiding something that pulses beneath her skin, growing stronger with each passing moon. A forbidden bloodline. A secret pregnancy. And a truth that makes her the most dangerous woman alive. Three men are hunting her—one who wants to reclaim her, one who wants to breed her, and one who’s trying to convince himself he doesn’t want to burn the world down to keep her. But Rhaegar’s wolf knows what he refuses to admit: she’s his. His mate. His queen. His salvation and his ruin. In 99 moons, everything will change.

“I don't know, Rhettie…” he whispers, coming even closer. I swallow hard but don’t take a step back—I can't let him know that he’s affecting me so badly. “Maybe I came to rekindle some old memories,” “Oh, have you forgotten about that so soon? We used to spend our summers running around these exact trees before you became a monster.” Looking at him now, standing in front of me with a cold look in his eyes, I know the sweet boy… is completely gone. “What do you want?” I sigh, giving up already. “Just say it and leave. I'm trying to have a good time and you're ruining it.” Cassian laughs, but there’s a tinge of bitterness in it. “God, can't remember how many good times you ruined for me. We aren’t even one percent close to calling it even,” I walk after him with quick steps, grabbing his shirt from behind and slamming his back into the nearest wall. “You need to leave. Now.” “Oh, I'm terrified!” he squeaks sarcastically. Fuck. Looking at those lips… feeling his breath against my skin… my wolf is going batshit crazy—I am going batshit crazy. Every ounce of restraint I’ve built up over the last few weeks disappears. I pull Cassian's head forward, and crash my lips onto his. . . . To the world, Rhett Reed is Blackridge golden boy, star hockey captain, and future Alpha. But behind the perfect image lies a devastating secret. Three years after bullying his childhood best friend away, Cassian Storm returns, colder and determined to destroy him. A housing glitch forces them to share a dorm room. Cassian thought revenge would be the hardest part. He was wrong. The hardest part is living with the man he never expected his heart to choose.
