"No one else can satisfy you like I can." I gripped the sheets, while biting my lips as I surrendered to the relentless pleasure being thrusted between my thighs. "Yes, Alpha Dominic," I moaned, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'm yours, only yours." He gripped my hips tightly, his fingers digging into my skin possessively as he drove into me with unbridled passion. "Say it again," he demanded, his voice husky with desire. "I'm yours," I cried out, my voice rising with each thrust. "Yours forever."

On the night I was publicly rejected by my fated mate, I made one unforgivable mistake… yet one wrapped in a bundle of joy. It took only one night to fall into the arms of his father.

Then the ancient medallion on Kael’s chest awakened for the first time in decades… and I ran with it. Hiding in a distant pack, bruised and broken, I discovered I was carrying more than a stolen medallion. I was carrying Kael’s child, an heir tied to a prophecy powerful enough to unite the territories or burn them to ash. And now Kael is hunting me. Not because of his baby, not even because of the medallion. But because of the sinful night that awakened a prophecy and forbidden desires capable of shifting the entire cosmos. This is a dark, steamy werewolf romance filled with forbidden desire, an intense age gap, a dangerous love triangle, secret pregnancy, and a powerful heroine rising from the ashes. Once you enter this world, you won’t escape unmarked.
