About this ebook
Drella White has one rule: never go back to Ashfall.
She breaks it the night she sees her mother's handwriting on a dead man's chest.
The killings started the same year Drella's mother vanished — bodies torn apart in the woods, all marked with claws that belong to no known wolf. All roads lead back to Ashfall's Alpha: Durran Buck. Cold. Lethal. Feared by every pack for a hundred miles.
The moment his eyes find hers, his wolf goes still — then feral. Durran doesn't claim her. He doesn't even speak to her. He orders his own pack to keep her away from him, like touching her might kill them both.
Then Drella finds the photograph.
A little girl with her face. A younger Durran standing beside her. And six words written on the back that unravel everything:
When she remembers, kill the Alpha.
Because Drella isn't just his mate.
She's a debt twenty years overdue — and something buried inside her has already started collecting.
He was built to end her.
She was built to end him first.
And the closer they get, the less either of them will survive the truth.
