When a runaway she-wolf crosses into the territory of the most feared alpha in the northern wilds, the fated bond that flares between them is the one cage she can’t outrun—and he has no intention of letting her try.
Wren Alcott has spent three years hiding what she is. Cast out of the Blackstone Pack after refusing an arranged mating to a brutal beta, she buried her wolf, severed every pack tie, and rebuilt herself as a human in a quiet mountain town on the edge of nowhere. Then the Blackstone wolves find her.
Fleeing into a January blizzard, Wren stumbles across the border of the Ashcroft Pack, ruled by Kael Ashcroft—an alpha whose reputation is equal parts legend and nightmare. He should kill her on sight. Instead, the moment her scent hits his bloodstream, his wolf locks onto a single, devastating word: mine. Wren is his fated mate, and Kael has waited over a decade for the bond to surface. He isn’t asking permission, and he isn’t letting her go.
But Wren has already survived one possessive wolf who tried to own her, and she will claw her way out of another cage before she ever submits again—even if Kael’s touch sets every nerve on fire and his wolf calls to a part of her she thought she’d killed.
When the Blackstone Pack declares a blood hunt, Kael is the only thing standing between Wren and a fate worse than death—but trusting him means surrendering to a bond that could either save her or destroy the last shred of freedom she has left.
