Alpha Rowan Hale knows exactly what fate costs. His true mate left him, and werewolf law offers an Alpha no second chance.
Then Elara Voss looks into his eyes.
She is only supposed to be the quiet transfer student working on a school project with Rowan’s sister. Instead, one glance creates a pull stronger than anything Rowan can explain—powerful enough to unsettle his wolf and dangerous enough to make him question rules older than his pack.
Elara has secrets of her own. She knows far more about the supernatural world than anyone suspects, carries magic tied to an ancient bloodline, and lives with a past she has fought hard to bury. When rogues begin watching Rowan’s pack—and watching her—their strange connection becomes impossible to ignore.
Then an old prophecy surfaces.
It tells of a savage Alpha, a witch who can reach the heart no one else can touch, and a choice that will test the difference between the mate fate assigns and the love a man chooses for himself.
Rowan has spent years believing destiny already made its decision.
But when the past returns and Elara becomes a target, he will have to decide whether prophecy is offering him salvation—or setting a trap that could destroy them both.
