Nora Rose Jean Leak

Nora Hale didn’t come to Willowfall looking for magic, monsters, or fate. She came to disappear. At twenty-four, Nora is a veterinarian with a kind heart, a quiet nature, and scars no one can see. Fleeing an abusive past, she leaves everything behind for a run-down house on the edge of a small town and a chance to start over near her grandmother. Willowfall seems peaceful enough, wrapped in forest and folklore, until the nights fill with howls and the townspeople whisper about beasts that shouldn’t exist. When Nora discovers a massive black wolf chained and bleeding in the woods, her instincts override her fear. She frees him, heals him, and unknowingly alters the course of her life forever. The wolf disappears before dawn, but his piercing blue eyes haunt her, lingering in her thoughts long after he’s gone. Colton Grimfang is the Alpha of a powerful werewolf pack and a leader forged by duty and violence. Quiet, intimidating, and fiercely fair, he has protected his people for years by keeping their secret hidden. He never expected his fated mate to be human, nor to find her bleeding courage and compassion into the heart of a world that should never touch hers. As rogue wolves stalk the forest and hunters rise from the shadows, Nora is drawn deeper into a dangerous truth. Her past resurfaces in the form of a man who refuses to let her go, and the pack she never knew exists is divided over her place among them. Bound by fate and threatened by war, Nora must decide whether love is worth the cost of leaving her humanity behind, while Colton faces the ultimate choice between his pack and the woman who owns his soul.

Après la faillite de ma famille, mon fiancé Lucas Suchet a rompu catégoriquement nos fiançailles et a choisi Sophie Hannon. C'est Jean Martin qui m'a aidée à rembourser mes dettes, s'est occupé des funérailles de mon père et m'a sauvée du désespoir. Pendant les trois années suivantes, Jean est resté à mes côtés. Mais alors que je croyais avoir trouvé l'homme de ma vie, la veille de notre mariage, je l'ai entendu discuter avec son ami : « Tu comptes vraiment épouser Chloé Dubois ? Tu n'as pas peur qu'elle découvre un jour que la mort de son père et la faillite de sa famille, c'est toi qui en es responsable ? » « Sophie est déjà mariée avec Lucas. J'épouse Chloé, parce que je ne crains pas qu'elle découvre la vérité. Je l'ai aidée à rembourser ses dettes, et son père a eu des funérailles dignes. Je suis déjà assez bon avec elle. » C'est seulement à ce moment que j'ai compris que Jean aussi m'avait trompée. Du début à la fin, j'étais la seule à être sincère.

Nora has spent her life in the shadows of her stepmother’s cruelty, surviving on scraps of dignity in a world where power is everything. As the daughter of a disgraced Alpha, she has no standing, no allies, and no future except the mate bond she secretly hopes for. But fate doesn’t just hand her a mate, it throws her straight into the path of Derek, the Lycan King himself. Nora’s next step could either crown her… or destroy her.
