GEORGIE HALE
Selene Ashford has spent her life on the run. Raised in the shadows of the Unclaimed Lands, she learned early that trusting a pack means trusting a leash. When rogue hunters slaughter a border patrol and plant evidence pointing to her, she's captured and dragged before Alpha Kael Voss of the Ashwood Pack — a man whose name alone makes grown wolves kneel.
Kael has one job: execute the girl responsible for his warriors' deaths. Instead, the moment her scent hits him, his wolf goes silent with recognition. She is his mate — the one bond even an Alpha cannot break. But Kael has buried his heart before, and the timing of her arrival is too convenient, too dangerous. Someone wants her inside his pack. Someone wants her dead.
As Selene fights to prove her innocence and resist a bond she never asked for, she uncovers a truth that could unravel the entire wolf world: her blood carries the mark of a bloodline believed extinct for two decades — a bloodline Kael's own father may have helped destroy.
Between rival packs circling for war, a Lycan enemy who remembers her family's name, and a love neither of them can outrun, Selene must decide whether the mate bond is her salvation or the very trap that will finally catch her.
