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?

My enemy is dead, and everyone thinks I’m to blame. But something far worse is out there, and it’s closing in fast. Even with a mysterious new threat looming, not everyone is willing to accept me as their new leader, which makes getting the pack to work together pretty much impossible. Left with little choice, I must reach out to the warring Silvercreek wolves to protect us both from this looming threat. Of course, my inner wolf only comes out when my fated mate is near, and even then she’d rather play than help prepare for what’s coming. Can I bring us all together in enough time to save the pack and fulfill my duty as their destined alpha? God, I sure hope so.

The war has started, and my pack is on the losing side. Not even my fated mate supports my choices, leaving me to question whether we’re actually destined for each other at all. The one wolf I hated most was the only one who’d prepared, but now he’s dead and I’m having a difficult time deciphering the plans he left behind. Our enemy is faster, stronger, and harder to kill. And if we can’t find a way to defeat them once and for all, they’ll keep expanding the lines of battle, until the whole world becomes their territory. That’s not a world I want to see come to light… I will destroy them, even if it means giving up everything I have. Maybe even my life.
