Bound by an oath, torn between duty and the woman who could shatter everything.
Caius Virell, a lycan stronger than any alpha, is saved by Luna Elysia Silverthorn and hidden away in the shadows. As he grows stronger, an undeniable bond forms between him and her daughter, Althea, whose quiet longing for him remains unspoken. Caius, bound by an oath to protect, keeps his emotions locked away, unable to act on the growing desire he feels.
When war threatens everything, Caius must choose between the duty that binds him and the woman he can never have. In a world where loyalty and longing collide, Caius must face the impossible choice: will he stay true to his oath, or will love change everything?
He was a beast. Composed of nothing but sheer brutality, masculinity and power. A mate was the last thing on his mind. . . until he laid his eyes on her.
