Ash, the Alpha heir of the powerful Arx Shifter clan, has one simple rule: never trust a human. They are the murderers who stole his parents' lives, leaving him with a legacy of pain, loneliness, and raging hatred. Now, to become Alpha, he must present his soulmate at his Ascension ceremony. But fate is cruel and his soulmate happens to be a human young woman named Willow.
Disgusted by the match, Ash drags Willow from her quiet apartment in the human world to his remote, unforgiving territory, intending to use her for the ceremony and then discard her.
But as the Ascension day approaches, a civil war looms, and Willow's presence becomes a catalyst for chaos, Ash will discover that denying love may be the most dangerous choice he could ever make.
In this romance, the limits of love are tested, loyalty is forged in fire, and the truth has the power to destroy everything.
