During a team-bonding dinner, my colleagues decide to start a challenge. They want to see whose wife will pick up the call the fastest and transfer the biggest amount of money into her husband's account. As expected, I'm the loser who comes in last. "Don't take it to heart, Evan. Ms. Sinclair might be cold and aloof, but she's still rich!" Everyone laughs as they ease the situation with chatter and jokes. They have collectively decided to avoid mentioning the past. For example, they neglect to bring up the fact that my girlfriend, Audrey Sinclair, never talks about marriage despite me having spent the last seven years establishing the company with her. Another example will be the time that I'm the last one to find out about Audrey's decision to give away the shares to all the higher-ups in the company. Even when I get diagnosed with stomach cancer, my best friend, Grant Hadley, is the one accompanying me in the hospital while we wait for the report. I just smile faintly without showing any reaction. That's when my gaze falls onto Micah Brennan, a new intern, who grips his phone tightly with a conflicted look on his face. "I'll pass. She's on a business trip right now, so she's incredibly busy." Sensing that the atmosphere is a little stiff, I just smile and lean over to tap the dial button that comes with a loudspeaker function in order to save him from embarrassment. At first, we think that the phone call will go unanswered. Surprisingly enough, Micah's partner immediately answers the call. The atmosphere in the private room falls eerily silent. After all, the gentle voice drifting out of the loudspeaker belongs to none other than my supposedly cold and aloof girlfriend. "Babe, have you received the surprise gift for your employment anniversary?"

They called the rejection the worst thing that could happen to a wolf. But they were wrong. The worst thing was what came after. Aria Frost held her secret for twenty-two years — the hunger she swallowed, the magic she buried, the thing in her blood that felt nothing like wolf. One rejection in front of her entire pack and the lid blew off. All three natures. All at once. All witnessed. Now she's running. Four men are following. Brecken Holt — Wolf Alpha, her pack's enemy, whose wolf hasn't stopped howling since he caught her scent. Lucian Vael — Vampire King, ancient and obsessive, who knew what she was before she did and has been waiting a very long time. Soren Blackthorn — Warlock Alpha, quiet and dangerous, whose coven's oldest prophecy has Aria's description written in blood. Cade Merrick — Tribrid hunter, trained to find and eliminate exactly what she is, who had her in his sights and couldn't do it. The prophecy says one tribrid, four anchors, one purpose — breed the next supernatural age into existence or watch three species tear each other apart. Her body already knows. Her instincts already chose. Her mind is the last thing standing between her and the four men who would burn the world down to claim her.
