She didn't ask to fall into this world. He didn't mean to scent her. Now, a forbidden bond pulls them together - in a world that punishes what they are. When Harper, a sarcastic but grieving human woman, wakes in the ruins of Veressa's Borderlands, she has no idea what the growling man above her is... or why he won't touch her. Kael is an outlaw alpha - unclaimed, unregistered, and hunted. He knows bonding with a human is illegal. Fatal. Permanent. But the more she bleeds, the more his instincts unravel. And if he knots her... neither of them will survive what comes next. -- Kamyawski
