She is the one woman he was never supposed to touch.
Alpha Killian Thorne is a ghost whispered about in every pack across the country. Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving. The few who have stood before him rarely lived long enough to speak of it. His name alone is enough to silence rooms and send seasoned warriors running.
Emma Whitlock has spent her life in the quiet shadow of her father’s Beta rank—safe, ordinary, invisible. But the Moon Gathering is coming, and every pack in the United States will stand under one sky. The dread in her chest grows heavier with every passing day.
Then fate rips her from everything she knows and throws her straight into the arms of the most feared Alpha alive.
Killian does not do soft.
He does not do mercy.
And he has never claimed a mate.
Until her.
One look. One scent. One impossible pull that neither of them can fight.
Will Emma be the exception that softens the monster…
or will she become the next name carved into his legend?
Some mates are destined.
Some are doomed.
And some will burn the world to keep what is theirs.
