Survival In The Desert

BLURB Sebastian never meant to fall for his Alpha. He never meant to crave the man who ruled over him, the one every wolf feared to even look in the eye. But desire doesn’t care about rules or ranks. Alpha Darius is everything Sebastian shouldn’t want: older, powerful, dangerous. Yet one look from him, one rough touch, and Sebastian’s world burns. What starts as a secret arrangement soon turns into something that feels too real, too deep… something neither of them can escape. But passion has a price. The pack is under threat. The nightwalkers—creatures thought to be long dead—are rising again, and Darius’s enemies are watching for the perfect moment to strike. To protect his pack, Darius must take a chosen mate. To protect his heart, he must deny the bond that ties him to Sebastian. When betrayal cuts deep and war tears their world apart, both Alpha and omega are forced to choose between duty and desire, between survival and love. Because destiny doesn’t ask for permission. And sometimes, the forbidden is exactly what the moon demands. CONTENT WARNING: THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+.
