I didn't believe in monsters-until one took me." Erin's life shattered in a second. One moment, she was in the car with her boyfriend, dreaming about college and the future. The next, he was dead -and she was being caged. He called himself Alpha Kael. He said she was his mate. But instead of warmth, she found chains. Instead of love, she found rejection. He didn't want a human Luna. And he made sure she knew it. Tortured. Caged. Stripped of her old life, Erin is trapped in a world of howling beasts and brutal laws.

Not anymore. "You rejected me, Alpha. Now watch me rise."
