26 mga parte Ongoing Cassia Rivers thought returning to her small hometown of Darkwood would be a simple, if bittersweet, transition. After all, running her late father's veterinary clinic was a way to honor his memory and escape the chaos of her old life. But when she meets Killian Blackwood-the brooding, impossibly intense Alpha of the local werewolf pack-she's thrust into a world far darker and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
Killian is everything Cassia doesn't want: domineering, emotionally closed-off, and infuriatingly magnetic. As Alpha, he's sworn to protect his pack at any cost, but he never expected his fiercest battle to come in the form of a stubborn, sharp-tongued human-or so he thinks. From the moment he lays eyes on Cassia, his wolf knows she's something more. But with the pack's safety at stake and rogue wolves threatening their borders, Killian can't afford distractions, especially not a woman who has no idea what's lurking beneath the surface of her quiet life.
As Cassia starts experiencing strange, primal instincts and heightened senses, she begins to suspect that her ties to Darkwood are deeper than she realized. Her dormant wolf side awakens, unraveling family secrets and pulling her closer to Killian. Their connection is undeniable-an electric bond that burns hotter and fiercer with every encounter. But Cassia refuses to be anyone's weakness, and Killian refuses to lose control.
When a powerful rogue leader sets his sights on Cassia, intending to use her newfound powers to destroy Killian and his pack, the stakes are raised. Together, Cassia and Killian must fight to protect not just their lives, but the bond that could save-or destroy-them both. Along the way, their walls crumble, their pasts collide, and their desires threaten to consume them.
