I lived a quiet life until the day my mother was murdered and a dark stranger showed up at my doorstep to spirit me away. He says it’s time for me to fulfill my destiny, to take my rightful place as alpha of the Thorncreek pack… except I had no idea I was a wolf shifter until now. I reluctantly agree to journey with him to the pack’s territory in the Alaskan wilds, but I refuse to trust him. A sentiment that goes double for the handsome male who’s been leading in my absence. My body wants Axel, but my head knows he’ll stop at nothing to keep his position of power. Soon the stirrings in my heart suggest he’s my fated mate, but even that can’t stop what’s coming. One of us will die, and the other will rule. I refuse to end up on either side of that bargain. Can I somehow find a way to both claim my destiny and to change it?
