Crackling Sound In Lungs

When Alpha Kael is told his destined Luna is Selene, the perfect, powerful wolf chosen by the elders, he accepts out of duty. But when he meets Aria, a stubborn human girl who constantly challenges him, he feels an impossible pull toward her. Aria and Kael discover a terrifying truth: their hearts are *literally linked*. Whenever they’re more than 10 feet apart, their lungs burn, their hearts ache, and they’re left gasping for air. They fight against the bond—she thinks he’s arrogant, he thinks she’s reckless—but soon realize they *need each other* to survive. As Selene schemes to eliminate Aria, strange truths surface: Aria’s bloodline holds the mark of the true Luna. Long ago, her wolf was bound, and she was cursed to live as human to keep her hidden. The “Luna” everyone believed in is nothing more than an impostor, hiding dark secrets of her own. Now Kael and Aria must unravel the deception before the pack is torn apart. But claiming their bond will mean going against fate

Vincent shed crocodile tears and crowed, "Celeste, thanks to you, my brother's revenge is finally complete."
