Wade Parker has spent centuries serving Odin, escorting souls to the afterlife and watching everyone else get a chance at happiness. A mate, a family, a life of his own? Forbidden. Then Adalyn Erickson walks into Black Paw, and his wolf decides Odin can go straight to hell.
Half witch, half wolf, Adalyn has spent her life being treated like a mistake. Her mother sends her to Black Paw to claim her place as Alpha, but Adalyn wants a home, not a pack to rule. Unfortunately, announcing she’s the former Alpha’s long-lost daughter isn’t winning her any friends. Neither is being the daughter of the witch everyone blames for his death.
The last thing she needs is a gorgeous, tattooed wolf who looks at her like he wants to devour her, then acts like touching her might get him killed. Wade knows she’s his. Adalyn is getting damned tired of wondering why that isn’t enough.
But her mother expects obedience, and she has far crueler ways of demanding it than an angry phone call. As her plans threaten the family Adalyn is beginning to call her own, Wade faces a choice that could cost him everything.
He’s spent his existence obeying his creator. Keeping his mate will mean defying a god.
