Mia Chrismen doesn't believe in fate, fairy tales, or the so-called mate bond that ties werewolves to their soulmates. She believes in science, steel, and her surgical scalpel - the only things that haven't failed her.
But when a wounded stranger collapses at her feet - all blood, fury, and secrets - her world doesn't just change. It shatters.
Cain Arker is the crown prince of the werewolves. Alpha by birth, cursed by destiny, and haunted by the throne he must claim. To do it, he needs the heir of the moon-blessed bloodline.
What he didn't expect?
Her.
The woman who doesn't feel their bond.
The woman who challenges him, hates him, tempts him - and still refuses to be his .
A slow-burn, soul-bonded, enemies-to-lovers saga where loyalty cuts deeper than knives, love is war, and fate isn't a blessing - it's a weapon.

"Now talk" he murmured, voice rough, every syllable carrying a warning "Who was he ?"
She gave him that infuriating little smirk , " you sure you want the details? You might get jealous."
His jaw flexed , " I have been patient the whole night love " he said , low and lethal , " for your own good.... don't test me now "
He shifted , instantly bringing her on his lap . His jacket - the only thing shielding her from his gaze , shifted with the movement, falling off the shoulder. She gasped.
" Listen carefully MATE - " his voice dropped further, a sinful whisper in her ear " - try running from me once more and I will make sure you can't even walk for weeks." The words came off less like a threat and more like a promise.
She scoffed even though her pulse was wild , " Empty threats Arker ?"
He let out a slow laugh, " You love challenging me don't you ? "
.
.
"C-Cain " she breathed but he only kissed her harder .
As she let out a sharp sound again , he smiled ,
" But you should know I never back down from a challenge sweetheart ."
DO GIVE IT A TRY PLEASE
I am Sam, a 17-year-old in my junior year, weighing 200 pounds. I am fat; calling me fat is an understatement. I am obese. If you call getting a straight A+ in algebra and trigonometry a nerd, well! I am a nerd too.
I would be lying if I said that I was never hurt when people called me a 'fatty nerd'. I was hurt. Additionally, being best friends with Mia attracts a lot of bullies.
Mia is a blonde. Well, that describes her. She is a blonde through and through. Let me describe her in detail. She has shiny golden blonde hair, startling blue eyes, a sharp nose, and full lips. Did I mention she won 'Miss Teen California'? She is a beauty with no comparison.
She is my best friend and won't let anyone bully me. So people calling me fat doesn't bother me anymore. Actually, it makes me happy, seeing the indignation and anger from Mia.
She makes me feel special. I would be a fool if I didn't fall in love with this girl.
Oh! Yes, I forgot to mention. I love Mia. And she doesn't know that.
