Her secrets are chasing her. His are waiting to catch up. Moving in with my older brother was supposed to be a clean slate. A chance to outrun the past I've worked so hard to bury. Then I met Maddox Ashley. My brother's best friend. My new roommate. And the walking storm I never saw coming. From the moment his dark eyes land on me, I know I've stepped into something dangerous. Maddox thrives in the very shadows I've spent years clawing my way out of. He's cold. Sharp. Unforgiving. And somehow, he sees straight through me. But he has secrets, too. Ones that might just be as twisted as mine. We come from different sides of the same darkness-scarred, silent, and steeped in things we can't name. His hatred toward me burns with something deeper than anger. And I can't tell if he wants to destroy me... or save me. Two broken souls. One shared past. In a house full of tension and lies, the truth may be the deadliest thing we uncover. Written in first pov + dual pov

Mara never though she would help save a Werewolf from a Rouge attack. But when she did, she unofficially became a member of the Blue Moon Pack. She and the Alpha's daughter thought of themselves as sisters and Mara became the only human to know of the existence of werewolves. However, Mara soon learns of the existence of Lycans, a once known enemy of the werewolves. The Lycan King, Fenrir, is making rounds to all neighboring packs to try and form alliances, wanting to let go of the past and try to move forward for the safety of his pack. He knows of the danger that is coming and wants to form as many alliances as possible. But he never expected to find his mate amongst the Blue Moon Pack. Nor did he expect her to be human. Mara has been through a lot of pain in her life. She does not believe in any 'mate bond' and often thinks that she would be better off alone. But Fenrir will not allow her to slip through his claws. Not when he's been waiting so long for her... *This story contains strong language, sexual situations, violence and mentions of abuse*
