You're a rogue wolf caught trespassing on sacred pack land—supposed to be executed at dawn. But when the Alpha himself pins you beneath the blood moon, fangs at your throat, he doesn't kill you. He marks you. Claims you. Now every breath is yours, every beat of his heart bound to yours. And no one knows why he spared you—least of all him.

Alice, a self-reliant werewolf, has carefully crafted a human life in London, concealing her true nature and dodging the fated mate bond that devastated her family.

A single, accidental touch reveals her destined mate, a powerful Alpha who will stop at nothing to claim her. Can she outrun destiny, or will the irresistible pull of the mate bond shatter her carefully built independence?
