But when Liam Belkin, the towns residential brooding man who hides behind a baseball cap, steps into the diner every night, she finds herself breaking down her one rule: don't get close to anyone.

Kaiden Anderson is the future alpha of the Dark Moon Pack... but he doesn't want to be. Once full of life, Kaiden lost everything the day his father died. Things only got worse when his mother brought home a new mate and stepson. Years of abuse hardened him into someone quiet, distant, and convinced he was too broken to lead, let alone love. But fate doesn't care what Kaiden wants. When he turns of age, he discovers his mate is Lynx Waltz, a centuries-old hybrid and one of the most feared supernatural murderers in history. Lynx vanished after burning down his pack, only to resurface the moment he caught his mate's scent. Then there's Riley Oakley, a warlock who barely survived the rogue attack that killed his coven. Now, he finds himself in the Dark Moon Pack, only to learn he's mated to not one, but two werewolves. Wolves he never asked for. Wolves he wants dead. After suffering cruelty at their hands, Riley's hatred runs deeper than blood. And now, he's powerful enough to do something about it. He could love them... He could destroy them... Or he could burn the entire werewolf race to the ground. The only question is: Will he?
