To be published in late January 2022 on Amazon Kindle.
Inuit has lost nearly everything in his life. His home burned, his family slaughtered, his pack scattered or dead, he is nothing when he is found dying in the snow with a small pup in his arms.
He is rescued, given a new home, a new family, a new name.
But he is haunted by the memories of death and destruction. Proclaimed the new Alphason of the weakened RustClaw pack, he struggles with the sense that he can never fully belong to this new pack, much less lead them to a better future. Nothing feels like it is his, but duty pushes him forward.
Inuit struggles for years to accept his place, to feel anything for his adopted pack other than a cold sense of duty. Only a few wolves can penetrate the emotionless walls he's built...
Until he sees his mate deep in the forests of the mountains. A golden-eyed she-wolf, as quick and nimble as a cat and as clever as one, too.
She is a wild creature, unlike anything Inuit has ever encountered. She runs, he chases, she evades, he captures. She is the center of his world, his hope, his luna.
Willa has secrets that haunt her. Raised by her mother and father in complete isolation, all she has left in the world are the inherent skills to survive taught by her violent father and bitter warnings of The Pack told by her mother.
He is intriguing, this male with walnut eyes, but there is not a bone in Willa's body that trusts him. He calls her 'his' but she cannot be owned. She is Untamed.
The bond between them is powerful. But, their seemingly separate pasts are tangled together in a way that they never dreamed possible. Family, old and new, remembered and forgotten, known and unknown, have created a web of secrets and lies that they must unravel before taking their place as the leaders of the RustClaw.
Separate, they are strong. Together they are invincible.

When suddenly a fierce Alpha appears, followed by people from her past, her entire world gets turned upside down. A battle is brewing and she has ties to all sides. Will she be forced to choose sides? Will she become the unifying factor? Or will she find herself caught in the crossfire?

Excerpts:
"Are you crazy?! You can't be serious Kay! You're just one little human, you don't stand a chance!"
"It's precisely because I'm just one lone human that I do. They'll underestimate me just as they've been doing this whole time, just as you're doing now, and that will be my greatest advantage...."

...he didn't want her. He had even tried to kill her! And seeing him for the first time after that brought forward emotions she hadn't even realized she felt... Why? Why was she never wanted by those who should have loved her most?
---
"Perhaps you're just looking at it all wrong Lec. She doesn't have to be your weakness, let her be your strength."
---
She shut out thoughts of doubt and fear. Collapsing onto her hands and knees, a stifled cry escaping her lips, she pushed through with everything she had! Bent on succeeding for the sake of her pack, no matter the cost...
