To Crestbourne Pack, Alpha Kael is everything a leader should be - noble, loyal, and adored. His people see only the smile, the warmth, the strength that keeps them safe. But what they don't see is the blood on his hands. Behind closed doors, Kael's justice is merciless, his methods brutal, his heart scarred by past demons he never speaks of.
Veyra, the Beta's daughter from a rival pack, is no stranger who masks herself. The world believes she lives a perfect life, but her beauty hides years of abuse and betrayal. She despises love, mocks the idea of mates, and vows never to be a pawn in anyone's game.
When fate forces their paths to collide, it becomes a war of pride and defiance. Kael hides his ruthlessness behind a smile. Veyra hides her brokenness behind a mask. Two predators circling, neither willing to yield.
But destiny doesn't care for masks - and when facades shatter, will they destroy each other... or burn the world together?
