The Shape of His Shadow

I was never meant to belong to the forest.

Raised on warnings and half-truths, I grew up believing the stories about wolves were nothing more than folklore-until the night the forest chose me. Until golden eyes found mine beneath a swollen moon, and an impossible bond snapped into place.

He is danger wrapped in fur and shadow. A werewolf bound by pack law, blood, and a fate he never asked for. I am human-or so I thought-caught in a world where mates are claimed by instinct and love is a liability.

The bond between us is undeniable. So is the cost.

Hunted by secrets, threatened by pack politics, and haunted by the truth of my own bloodline, I must decide what I'm willing to sacrifice to survive this pull. Because loving him could start a war... and walking away might destroy us both.

The forest doesn't make mistakes.

And it never releases what it claims.
