Ava has a whole list of reasons to stay away from shifters. She has her little place, away from prying eyes and she has no reason to get involved with the drama that comes with shifter communities. That is, until trouble knocks on her door in a form of an alpha. Reeve was expecting a meek little shifter that was scared of anything that moved when he decided to move his pride to the loner's territory. Instead, he found a fiercely protective and wildly attractive maniac with deep secrets that he can't wait to unravel. A lunatic that could even be his fated mate.
