**Enemies-to-Lovers | Forced Bond | Dual POV | Slow Burn with Fast Consequences**
---
The bond was the trap. Love will be the kill.
Cassian and Reena are shackled together by a forced mate bond, ritual, not fate, and they're both bleeding from it. He's an Alpha who controls everything except the way his wolf whines for her like something starved. She's a Luna by decree who'd rather face silver than face what he makes her feel. They're poison in each other's veins, predator and prey trading places every night, and they can't stop drinking.
He'd rather bleed out than admit he needs her.
She'd rather burn alive than let him know she's breaking.
Between vicious arguments and the kind of tension that feels like teeth at your throat, something shifts. Hate is an exhausting performance when you're breathing the same air, when her scent is on your sheets, when her heartbeat syncs to yours in the dark.
Resentment twists into obsession. Hostility bleeds into hunger. And the person you swore to keep at arm's length becomes the only one who sees the beast beneath your skin and doesn't flinch.
They weren't supposed to want each other's ruin.
They weren't supposed to want each other at all.
But wolves mate for life, even when the bond is man-made. Even when love feels like drowning. When the connection they tried to deny becomes the only thing that feels real, they'll either destroy each other or discover that some bonds are stronger than fate.
The pack believes in fated mates blessed by the Moon.
Cassian and Reena are building something the Moon never planned for.
Something forged in fury. Something that might just be stronger because of it.
---
One forced bond. Two feral hearts. Two wolves who were never meant to run together, learning to hunt as one.

For readers who want their werewolves feral, their romance earned through blood and fire, and their happy endings hard-won.
