Eva’s world is reduced to ashes the night her entire pack is slaughtered. Hunted for the blood she never knew was special, she barely escapes—only to land in the hands of the one man she should fear the most.

Damien, the ruthless Alpha of the Shadowfang Pack. Cold, dangerous, and already promised to another, he has no reason to care for a broken rogue like her. And yet, he doesn’t let her go. He keeps her close, his sharp obsidian eyes watching her every move.

She fights him, despises his dominance. But the more she resists, the tighter his grip becomes. Because Damien knows something she doesn’t—her bloodline is more powerful than she could ever imagine. And if he lets her go, the entire world may burn for it.

But as secrets unravel and their enemies close in, the line between hate and desire blurs. He’s her captor, her protector, the man she should never trust. Yet when he touches her, when his rough hands claim her in ways no one else has dared—she forgets everything but him.

And that may just be the most dangerous thing of all.

I stared at the reflection in front of me.


The black-on-black suit fit like a second skin, the fabric smooth, regal, and flawless. The silver cuffs gleamed against the darkness, every inch of me dressed like the Alpha I was supposed to be.


But the man in the mirror looked like a stranger.The eyes were mine—cold, dark, but underneath… something was off.


I let out a harsh breath. What the hell was happening to me?


Why couldn't I stop thinking about her? Why did the image of Eva's face invade my mind every time I closed my eyes?


I cannot remember how I met gher, what happened when I met her or anything. I just know it's her that makes me want to either kiss her or ruin her.


I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated.


Now… now every time I saw her—every time she was near—I felt something pull, like a string dragging me toward her, dragging me toward that bond that was supposed to be unbreakable.
