Ayla is just a small-town veterinarian trying to live a quiet, ordinary life. She fixes broken wings, stitches up hunting dogs, and stays far away from trouble.
But trouble finds her on the night of the worst winter storm of the decade.
Bleeding out on her clinic's porch is a wolf. It is impossibly massive, pitch-black, and covered in lethal wounds that no normal animal could survive. Driven by her oath to heal, Ayla drags the terrifying beast inside, stitches his wounds, and falls asleep beside his cage, resting her hand on his thick fur.
She doesn't know she just saved a monster.
The beast isn't a normal wolf. He is Alpha Silver, the most feared and ruthless Lycan King on the continent. Betrayed by his own pack, his mind has completely fractured, leaving him trapped in his feral wolf form, driven only by a blinding thirst for slaughter.
But the moment Ayla's bare skin touches his fur, the apocalyptic madness in his head goes dead silent.
Silver doesn't just want the fragile human doctor; his inner beast becomes violently, obsessively addicted to her presence. When the assassins who betrayed him track his scent to Ayla's clinic, the feral wolf is forced to shift into his towering, heavily scarred human form to completely annihilate them in front of her.
Now, Ayla knows the terrifying truth about the monsters lurking in the dark. And the deadliest monster of them all has just decided she is never leaving his side
