His To Protect, Forbidden To Love
Irene
I thought the hardest part of my life would be watching my mother marry a man I didn’t trust but I was wrong. The moment I stepped into BlackWood Territory, everything changed. The rules, the danger and the way everyone looked at me even as it was my mother's union with the High Alpha.
And then there was Matthew. My stepbrother.
Watching me like I was something he needed to protect… or something he couldn’t have.
But the longer I stay, the more I realize this family isn’t what it seems. Love is fake. The alliances are fragile. And somehow, I’ve become the center of something far bigger than I understand. Now people are hunting me.
And Matthew?
He’s the only one standing between me and a war I never asked for.

Matthew
I knew the second I caught her scent that she was mine. It should’ve been simple and right. But she walked in as my father’s new stepdaughter… and the one person I’m not allowed to want.
Now there’s a prophecy. A war. Enemies from inside and out coming close. And Irene is at the center of it all.
If I claim her, I risk tearing my pack apart. If I don’t, I might lose her forever.
Either way, blood will be spilled.
And I’ve already decided…I’ll burn everything before I let her fall.
