But her world spins out of control when a centuries-old prophecy stirs, marking her as the key to a mysterious, dangerous future. As packs gather and enemies close in, Kyara finds herself thrust into the arms of Alpha Eric Blackwood—cold, commanding, and terrifyingly powerful.

Yet, the more time he spends with her, the more he begins to realize that there is something far more dangerous about her than he ever imagined—something that could save or destroy them all.
But Kyara’s heart is torn. Her past mate, Victor, rejected her and now wants her back, after learning of her true power. Will Kyara give in to her once-beloved mate, or will she discover a strength within herself she never knew existed? And when Eric’s control finally falters, will their love be enough to survive the storm that’s coming?

I never wanted to be his wife.
I hated Roman Blackwood because he was untouchable, conceited, and ruthless. However, When my father’s debts threatened to destroy us, I had no choice but to sign the contract that bound me to him. My freedom was just another possession in his universe.
His words, his rules, and the gloomy fire in his eyes caused me to doubt my sanity. To withstand his icy indifference and the violent intimacy that left me simultaneously breathless and broken, I tried to be invisible.
But, his betrayal was worse than his cruelty. In the fine print of our marriage, I discovered the truth: I wasn't just his wife. I was a pawn in a game I don't understand. And when I challenged him, his cold grin made it clear that I meant nothing to him.
So I ran.
I believed I could leave the man who broke me and start a new life. But Roman doesn't lose and forgive. He is now chasing me, saying he is a different person and pledging atonement.
However, when I discover a secret that he has kept even from himself, I realize that the monster I escaped from may be the only one who can protect me from what lies ahead.
Because when Roman Blackwood threatened to destroy anyone who attempted to take me away from him, he wasn't lying.
Even if it's me.
