I ran my hand through his silky fur, my legs feeling like jelly as my head span. My entire body ached with a pain I had never known before, but with him standing right here beside me, I felt like I could conquer Mount Everest.
Or, you know, fight off the bloodthirsty killing machines who wanted me dead.

Angelique Romanie didn't consider her life hard. She and her sister were orphaned at a young age, leaving Angel in charge of raising her baby sister. When Texas just can't hold them anymore, Angel packs it all up and moves into Deep Valley, Oregon, unwittingly immersing herself into a shitload of trouble.
Blake Anderson is the Alpha of the Silver Linings pack. He's quick, cunning, deadly, and... devilishly handsome? His pack is a fearsome, well-oiled machine, just like him. But now, Blake has just found out that he, one of the strongest Alphas in North America, has a human mate.
As time wears on, Blake finds himself more and more drawn to that little girl from Texas. However, not everyone is thrilled with the news, and some are even determined to make Angel pay. Treachery is revealed, secrets are buried, heartbreak is commonplace, and jealousy flaunts it's ugly nose every chance it gets. Can Blake wrap his head around a human mate? Will Angel ever be ready to run with the wolves?
You've heard the stories-the fierce, dominant Alpha who finds his destined mate in a sweet, innocent girl who softens his hardened heart.
Well, forget those stories.
Because this one is the complete opposite.
Alpha Gabriel White-one of the most powerful Alphas in the region. Ruthless, intelligent, and unshakably loyal to his pack. He commands the largest and strongest army of werewolves, warriors who would lay down their lives for him without question. He has respect. Power. Legacy. Everything a leader could desire.
Everything... except a mate.
Angel Black-sweet? Shy?
Not even close.
She goes by many names: The Devil's Right Hand, The Dark Werewolf, The Kiss of Death, The Werewolf Without a Wolf... and the one whispered most often in fear-The Dark Angel. No one has ever seen her shift, and yet her strength rivals that of the fiercest Alphas. She is a mystery wrapped in legend, her past unknown, her power unmatched.
She, too, has everything.
Everything... except a mate.
So what happens when fate dares to intertwine their paths?
What happens when two unstoppable forces are bound by the one bond neither of them was seeking?
What if one of them feels the pull of the mate bond, while the other feels... nothing?
You've heard the stories where the shy girl heals the cruel Alpha.
Well, this time, it's the other way around...
