She never believed in monsters until one took her. Raven Ashford has built a perfectly normal life... or so she thought. But when a reckless DNA test reveals a hidden bloodline, her world is ripped apart. A dangerously powerful alpha, Lucian Vale, has been searching for her his fated mate, the one he's waited centuries to claim. And he won't take no for an answer. Dragged into a world of ruthless werewolves and ancient prophecies, Raven is forced to confront a truth she can't escape. She is not just human. She is his. But she refuses to submit, even as her body betrays her with a hunger only Lucian can satisfy. As war brews between rival packs, Raven must make an impossible choice: surrender to a fate she never wanted or unleash the terrifying power lurking inside her before it's too late. Because in this world, being claimed isn't the same as being free.
