In the heart of a crumbling Iowan town veiled by cornfields and secrets, Scarlett Wren had built her own kingdom of midnight justice. She was eighteen, barefoot on the roofs by night, flame-haired and whip-thin, the kind of girl the church ladies called wild and the drunkards called a ghost. Whispers said she could hear lies in the wind, that she had been born of a murder night - not from a mother's womb but from the bloodied soil itself. What no one knew was that Scarlett wasn't just lucky. She was something older. Something cursed, or blessed, depending on who was telling the story. When farmers woke to find their cattle bloodless and their daughters dreaming of strange moons, the town elders - brittle men with brittle pride - brought in a solution. Cain Maddox. Thirty-one, ex-military, a legend among bounty hunters with a mouth like sin and a body carved by violence. They told him there was a "problem child" ruining their order, a red wisp who needed caging. They forgot to mention the rest: the spells woven into her breath, the monsters she fought alone because no one else dared to. Cain expected an easy hunt. What he found was a girl who stared down the barrel of his gun and smiled like the devil had kissed her first. Scarlett was trouble in the shape of a girl, all barbed jokes and fierce, aching loneliness. She saw right through him - to the broken boy inside the man, the wolf still pacing behind his ribs. And Cain, for all his hardened instincts, felt the shift the moment their eyes met: the slow, inevitable doom of being claimed. The hunt turned into something hotter, darker, and far more dangerous than Cain had signed up for. The town's real sickness ran deeper than anyone guessed - into blood pacts, old gods, and rotting promises. Together, they would have to decide whether to destroy each other... or burn the town to the ground and start something wild and sacred in its place.

Kellan Wolfe is the Silent Alpha - a mute werewolf feared by his pack, bound by duty, and haunted by the words he can never speak. Isolated in the dark forests between city and wild, he's resigned to a life without true connection... until fate delivers him something he never dared to hope for. Tessa Reyes doesn't believe in fairy tales. She believes in second chances, stubborn hearts, and the quiet language of survival. When she's dragged into the brutal world of werewolves, she doesn't flinch. She stands. She speaks - not with words, but with her hands, fluent in a language Kellan thought the world had forgotten. In a world where dominance rules and loyalty is earned in blood, Tessa becomes the unexpected storm that challenges everything - and everyone. Against the snarling pack, against the pull of the city lights, against the haunted silence between them, she chooses him. Wildly. Fiercely. Unapologetically. And in doing so, she teaches the Silent Alpha the greatest truth of all: Love doesn't need words. It only needs a heart willing to howl. Perfect for fans of steamy fated mates romances, fierce heroines, and mute, brooding alphas with hearts of gold hidden beneath scars and teeth.

And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence.
