Aria Stone swore she’d stay away from Thorne Xandros, her brother's best friend, even though she had had a crush on him for 26 years.
Thorne Xandros was once her brother’s best friend before they became rivals, and their packs waged war against each other. Why? She didn’t know either, but she knew Thorne was the last person she should crave... except fate didn’t care about rules.
She was about to be forced into a marriage with an old man because her brother was losing the war to Thorne and needed more allies.
Aria met up with him to convince him to stop the war, and that is the moment the bond between them ignites, along with the realization that Thorne is her mate.
Touching him could worsen the war. But not touching him could destroy her.
She was willing to compromise until she discovered the reason why they had become rivals and the reason her brother waged a war against him.

“I burn for you, Aria Stone. It has always been only you,” Thorne said to me, his voice husky.
Since I was a teenager until now when I was 26, I had always fantasized about the moment when Thorne would finally see me as a woman.
“This… is wrong, Thorne. Alec will kill you. You’re his best friend," I managed to say, trying to look unaffected by his touch.
“Ex-best friend. We are at war, remember?” He wrapped his hands around my waist and pulled me closer to him.
Fuck, I couldn’t think straight anymore.
“Tell me… Thorne. Why does Alec hate you all of a sudden? What brought about the war between our packs?” I asked him the question my brother Alec had been refusing to answer.
