A blizzard brought them together. Destiny might tear them apart.
Small-town veterinarian Lena has always trusted her gut over her head. But when a massive, wounded black wolf collapses outside her clinic during a brutal Northwoods storm, she makes a choice that defies all logic. Ignoring the voice telling her to run, she drags the predator inside to save its life.
She expects a wild animal. She gets Kael-a lethal, mesmerizing Alpha shifter with eyes like molten gold and a past that is hunting him down.
Kael is an Alpha on the run, bleeding out from a gunshot wound meant to end his leadership. He knows he should leave Lena the moment he wakes; staying puts a target on her back. But the pull of the mate bond is immediate and agonizingly undeniable. Lena isn't just a healer; she is his fated mate, the light destined to balance his darkness.
As the rival Alpha Emilian closes in with a team of ruthless hunters, Kael and Lena are forced to flee into the mountains. But the danger isn't just outside the pack. Inside the sanctuary, elders question Kael's judgment, whispering that a human mate is a fatal liability. When betrayal strikes from within and poison threatens to shatter their bond, Kael must decide between the traditions of his people and the woman who saved his soul.
In a war between duty and desire, can a human healer and a wolf king rewrite the rules of the pack?
