He is her mate. She is his. And nothing—not enemies, not secrets, not even her own fears—will keep him from claiming her. Anikka has spent her entire life under the strict rule of her so-called uncle, never questioning why they constantly move, why she’s forbidden from leaving, or why a restless, untamed energy stirs inside of her. She has no idea she’s a wolf-shifter—until the moment she scents him. Jace Ulfer, the powerful Alpha of the East Coast pack, recognizes Anikka as his mate the instant her scent reaches him. But there’s one problem—she doesn’t even know what she is. Raised in ignorance, trapped in a life of obedience, Anikka has been kept from the truth of her nature. And worse, there are forces determined to keep them apart. Jace is patient. Possessive. He will guide Anikka into his world, into her own power, and into his arms where she belongs. But Anikka has spent a lifetime dreaming of freedom, and she refuses to trade one cage for another. What she doesn’t yet understand is that true freedom isn’t running away—it’s surrendering to the wild, primal bond that pulls her to Jace.
