I have nothing left to give up. At least that's what I thought until she walked into my life. I never thought I'd find my mate, not after this long, and I sure as hell never expected to fall so hard. But suddenly, I have everything to lose. Not all that long ago the wolves were on the verge of extinction and now the balance of peace and destruction lies in my hands. It's either her, or go to war, and the decision isn't an easy one to make. The Fae king wants blood, more importantly, my blood. I'm not afraid of him, or even dying for that matter, but if I revel my secret, lives are sure to be lost. The Fae king will stop at nothing to destroy me, but that's if I don't destroy myself first. *Warning: Contains some strong language and mature scenes*

In the wake of the Hale fire, Peter Hale is a broken man in more ways than one. Left damaged and scarred for six years, Peter knows nothing but pain and a fierce, burning desire for revenge. In his quest to take down the people who'd ruined his life and murdered his family, Peter loses his way and becomes a man as bad as his enemies. This is the person Charlie Lector meets and instantly falls in love with. Peter resists Charlie's advances, denying his developing feelings for her and making worse and worse choices in the hopes that he'll scare her off. But when Charlie's resilience and affection begin to break through the walls Peter's had up since the fire, will she really love the man she finds?
