Getting hit by a car should have ended my story. Instead, it was only the beginning. Waking up in a strange new world ruled by werewolves, I’m given a mission by an AI-like voice: Find Thorne—the broken, outcast alpha—and stop him from becoming the monster destined to destroy this world. Saving him should have been simple. Stay close. Win his trust. Change his future. But I wasn’t prepared for the fierce, wounded man behind the scars. I wasn’t prepared for the way his golden eyes watched me like I was the only thing he needed to survive. And I definitely wasn’t prepared for how my heart began to betray me, falling for the very man I was sent to save. Now that Thorne has risen to power, he refuses to let me go—body, soul, and heart. I came here to change his fate. I never expected him to claim mine. And if I can't find a way to choose between my old world and the alpha who would burn down kingdoms to keep me, I might lose both.
