Makayla is minding her own business when she gets pulled into a realm that is not her own. A hybrid has her caged as a trophy, but before she can break free herself, an alpha wolf named Alaric smashes through the situation and declares her his fated mate. She responds by putting a dagger in his chest and bolting. Alaric is a wolf who hates vampires, tolerates hybrids even less, and has been tracking the one who stole the woman fate assigned him. He expected her to kneel. She threw steel at him instead. Now the hybrid is no longer his primary problem. Makayla is. He hunts her across the Kingdom of Wolves while she runs hard toward any exit that leads home. The tension between them is physical and furious. She feels things she refuses to name. He wants her surrender and nothing less. Two stubborn people, one unbreakable bond, and a body count building on both sides. This standalone shifter romance carries dark undertones, explicit heat, and a central pairing that is equal parts combustible and bloody.
