Their paths crossed, leading to a contract marriage for mutual survival.
As the end of their contract neared, the air between them crackled with unspoken tension.
Jungkook - "Hard to believe, isn't it? Soon, our contract ends, and we'll be free."
Taehyung - "Yes, I can't wait for that day."
Their words spoke of liberation, but their hearts knew the truth. What began as an agreement had blossomed into deep, unspoken love. Fear kept them silent, even as their bond grew stronger with each passing day.
Jungkook, a true blood Alpha, was bound by a contract to marry his father's best friend's daughter. Meanwhile, Taehyung, unaware of his status as the rarest of werewolf species, was fleeing ruthless monsters.
A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers.
*****
It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret.

Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life.
