I'm Paul. If you had known this world before... you wouldn't believe it. The streets were crowded; people weren't afraid to touch one another. Now, every step is a risk, every breath a doubt. It all started with that vaccine. They sold it to us as hope. They called it salvation. But some things... you either never touch, or once you do, there's no going back. People changed. Cities fell silent. And we... the survivors... we're no longer just living. We're fighting. For me, this isn't a game. But you're inside a game whose rules you don't know. You don't know who to trust. Even those closest to you can become... something else, in an instant. Every day I make a choice: Run, or fight? And most importantly... Is there really such a thing as escaping, or are we just delaying the end? If you're reading these lines, there's only one thing you need to know: Surviving in this world... is much harder than you think.

A battle-scarred Alpha and a broken woman with hidden wounds are fate-bound-but she wants nothing to do with him. As danger looms and tempers flare, he'll have to find a way to break down her walls before it's too late. *** Scars...some are worn on the outside and read like a book, others are hidden on the inside, unseen but shape every fabric of our being. Alpha Chris has his share of scars. He wears them like badges of honour, having earned them protecting his pack. Jess carries hers on the inside, a collection of secret shame... After Jess breaks free of an abusive ex, she goes home to her farm in the remote countryside to pick up the pieces of her shattered life. She tries to bury her trauma and move on, determined not to let anyone get too close again. Chris has given up on finding his mate and focuses all of his energy on his pack, growing colder and more distant with every passing year. Just when he least expects it, she falls into his lap, smelling like his best friend and wanting nothing to do with him. What happens when a battle-hardened Alpha who is used to getting his way comes up against a stubborn woman set on walling herself from everyone? More than brute strength is needed to break through those walls and reach her. When hidden enemies threaten both their lives, will he be able to reach his Goddess-given gift in time? Or will pride and tempers ruin their last chance at happiness? The Moon Goddess has a plan that neither understands. *** BOOK 1 OF THE FORGOTTEN WOLF SERIES
