Cayden is cursed. Us being together might kill him. But staying apart may destroy the Noble Wolves once and for all. The Savage King, his evil Wolves, and his cult of warlocks are closing in. As one of the last Noble Royals, I must protect the other Noble Wolves. And without my essence holding our kind together, the Savages will decimate humanity. The King wants to accomplish this by turning me to the dark. But Cayden, though cursed with death if he protects me, is still my mate. So long as he lives, I can't be turned, right? But Cayden does the unthinkable. He leaves me to lead the pack on my own. But the more I lead, the more Noble I become, and the Savage King knows that's my weakness. One wrong move from me will make Cayden come back, fight for me, and die. Embracing cruelty can open the door to savagery, my biggest fear. But to save Cayden and my kind, I may have to give myself to evil again.
