When Selene Nyxbourne, oldest daughter of the Nyxbourne pack, discovers she is carrying a child that is not her mate's, her world is upended. Cast out and branded a traitor, she becomes a hunted exile.
Fleeing into an inhospitable expanse of barren land, Selene crosses paths with Ruvala, a lone wolf with a shadowed past and amber eyes that burn with a fierceness to rival the sun. As assassins and hunters trail their every footstep, Selene and Ruvala must navigate a land where every shadow is a potential threat and even a single moment of carelessness can get you killed.
With her unborn child possessing an ancient power she does not yet understand, their very existence has become a threat to a madman who is intent on sending their world further and further towards the darkness. But in an unforgiving world where even love may be a death sentence, can Selene truly outrun the rage of a madman-and embrace the true mate who was destined to find her in the ashes?

SEX AND SINS (The Alpha's Forbidden Claim)
WARNING: MATURE CONTENT. RATED 18+. 90% STEAMY Selene never expected the thick darkness her life was about to plunge into. A young, new-adult wolf raised under the strict expectations of her aging father and the proud legacy of her ancestors, she's lived by every rule-rules meant to keep her from losing to the rival dynasty threatening to claim the throne from her family, the prestigious Ravencrofts. But the one person she thought would protect her shatters her instead. Her father's cold, public humiliation cuts deeper than any enemy's blade, all because of the one flaw she can't control-her heat. It surges too often, too powerfully, even outside mating season... and now it's a curse she can't escape. Broken and burning for release, Selene seeks reckless oblivion in the city's most dangerous den of demons-a forbidden club dripping with sin and shadow. There, she collides with a sinfully irresistible stranger drawn to the wild, unrestrained heat she can't hide. One night is all it takes for him to brand himself into her body and soul-a night of decadent, breathless pleasure she'll never forget. But when the haze fades, Selene learns the devastating truth. The man who consumed her? Her older sister's Alpha husband. He's already tasted her. He wants more. And he'll stop at nothing-no law, no loyalty, no taboo-to claim her completely. Now Selene is caught in a storm of forbidden desire, torn between resisting the man who could ruin her and surrendering to the sinful pull that could destroy them both. Because the only thing more dangerous than his touch... is how much she wants it.
