Lightning Scars

They call him the Human Alpha—the most feared man in the werewolf world, despite having no wolf of his own. Shahira's life shattered the night her mate, the ruthless heir of the Moontide Pack rejected her in front of the entire pack for being "too weak." Humiliated and broken, she's cast out with nothing but scars and shame. Then she meets him. Daren Methlock doesn't have a wolf. Twenty-five years ago, his entire clan was slaughtered by a coalition of packs led by Moontide Pack. As a baby, his dying pack performed a forbidden ritual—sacrificing their wolves to save his life. Now, he's stronger, faster, and deadlier than any Alpha who ever lived. And he's spent the last six years hunting down every pack responsible for the massacre. Moontide is last on his list. When Daren's enemies capture Shahira as bait, he saves her—and discovers she's his second chance mate. The bond ignites between them like wildfire, but her ex-mate is Daren's greatest enemy. Loving her means complications. Using her means revenge. But Shahira has secrets of her own. She knows things about Moontide's Alpha—things that could jeopardize everything Daren has worked for. And when she discovers the real reason his clan was massacred, both of them will have to choose: justice or love, vengeance or mercy. Because the night of the massacre, not everyone died. And the one who survived wants Daren's power for themselves. In a world of fangs and fury, the human Alpha might be the most dangerous predator of all.

She said to me but I didn’t want that to happen, not now not ever. “Is that what you want?” I spoke softly hoping she would take back her words and she only said it as a moment of weakness. “No…I want you” I found myself utterly speechless when she made this revelation. God, I wanted her too but I could only confess my feelings in my heart. Everywhere went silent.

In the newfound freedom of campus life, they embark on a passionate, secret romance that serves as a sanctuary from their rigid upbringing.
