In battle, the one who is considered Alpha, is seen to be the mass of protective brutality, with a keen sense of foreshadowing the outcome.
As an Alpha, the fate of your Tribe can be held together by a sound mind, or blown apart with an egotistical sense of self gratification.
In the case of Alpha Tamlin, he is a perfect mixture of Alpha, with an extra dose of talents, as the moon bares favour on him.
Although favoured by the moon, the Tribe will need to be proven that their Alpha Female is up to the task, as Athena enters the life of both Tamlin and the Tribe, she is torn apart by her feelings of self-loathing and a deep need to protect the strangers that are testing and disrespecting her at every turn
That and a looming doom, sets into motion an array of events that only a true Alpha and Alpha Female can handle.
One scent.
One glance.
One bond she never wanted to find.
At the Dark Blood Ball, Athena Drakos expects nothing more than duty and another night guarding her pack. What she doesn't expect is the intoxicating scent of a rain soaked forest and citrus, or the truth it leads her to.
Xavier Rivers is the Alpha of Crystal Moon Pack. A monster, they say. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable.
He is also her mate.
Once childhood friends, Athena and Xavier are now separated by bloodshed and loss. Xavier has become everything Athena swore she could never trust again. And Athena has become everything Xavier was never meant to want, scarred, guarded, and shaped by a past that nearly destroyed her.
As an old war resurfaces and enemies close in, the mate bond tightens with every heartbeat. Athena must decide if she is strong enough to face a bond she never asked for, and whether Xavier is still the boy who once protected her, or the monster the world believes him to be.
Because some bonds don't heal.
They burn.
