She fell into my arms as her entire world fell apart. And I was never letting her go.
Reed
I've been alone for over three hundred years. The darkness is around every corner, trying to swallow me whole as I watch my packmates one by one find their true loves, while I stand permanently on the sidelines. But when she collapses in my arms, everything comes into crystal clear focus. I don't even know her name, only that it's her. My mate. The one I've been waiting centuries for.
But she can't be my mate; she's human. My nose can't detect a single hint of wolf on her. So how can we be fated? It makes no sense. But when I see the omega seal shining on her palm, I know larger forces are at play.
But it's not until after I fight my way out of the bar, past her attackers, and back to the Enclave that all hell breaks loose. I've broken a cardinal rule, and now I must face the High Alpha—and one of my best friends—for punishment.
I won't bend the knee, not with her life on the line. No matter the cost.
